The micro car community. It only has a small following. I thank you.

The metallic blue Jaguar 420 caught my eye..my Father bought one new in 1969, one of the most exciting days of my life!

Lovely video, such memories. My first "car" was a Heinkel Bubble. I bought it in 1965 ( I'm that old ). I drove it on a Provisional licence with "L" plates as it was deemed a motorcycle and sidecar. Things were a little easier back then. You don't know your born until you've pushed a Heinkel to nearly 70 mph down a steep hill and lived to tell the tell. 😉

Im loving the tracking/running shots. the offroading Isetta was a superb piece of footage!

Although we were fortunate enough to be at the rally on Sunday, it's great to see the footage of these amazing little cars in Wells, Cheddar and at the Haynes Motor Museum. It was nice to meet you on Sunday and as you said everyone was friendly and willing to chat about their cars. Not only did our grandson have his photograph taken with yourself and TWC (Thank you for that) but he also given the opportunity to sit in the driving seat of an Isetta. His favourite car at the rally was the P registered 2CV, he told me that I should buy a 2CV. So perhaps he is a young HubNut in the making or maybe he is just a petrolhead like myself, either way, it was an enjoyable day.

As the song goes, spread a little happiness. With micro cars, the vibe is always joyful.

Had to wait until late at night to watch this ! Such gems require full and studied concentration without family interruptions.

7:28 Blimey, look at the size of that mini. It's enormous!!!

Awesome little car, the bond bug. I remember 70s boy racers having them...

I love the Isetta hiding in the tent. Looks just like a big green frog. But a lovable one. And what a lovely metallic green paint job on that Messerschmitt!

The thing about your vids is the nostalgia factor, so much of my childhood and adolescent memories are here.

Wow, that new gimbal really works! Much more cinematic experience without the old shaky-cam.

Loving the Pac concept car! Not to mention the 4-wheel Bond Bug. Very interesting to see all of them.

"She spent the night with a pair of Trabant's." 😂😂🍷

When your steering wheel is bigger than your road wheels and you have a "keep fit" reverse gear...

I love these little micro cars. The Heinkel takes me back to the summers of the mid 60's when my Grandma and Granddad came to visit us. He had two of them in succession but in 1968 he went up in the world and purchased a Reliant Regal AND901B. Funny the things you remember!

i want those heinkels and issetas for myself, god they're gorgeous

No matter how crap a day I've had a work... a video with TWC in it never fails to cheer me up! Lovely little cars, all of them - and for some reason, the white NSU Prinz seems familiar from my childhood.

Back in the 1960s, these cars were still being used as daily drivers and spare parts and service were readily available. The most common sights were Isettas and Heinkel-Trojans with the occasional Bond Minicar, Messerschmitt or Berkeley. The others cars were rarely, if ever, seen. By the 1970s, few were left on the road and they started to become treasured collector's items.

Cheddar gorge is up the road from me and is a beautiful. Alot of car lovers go there for meeting up together. Very lucky to have this local to me!

That Red Peel Trident 50cc is delightful

What an amazing collection of cars and locations. Looks like the meet was loads of fun. Still think TWC looks the best, love the 70's style. Great memories of the invacar!

Had a 1964 Trojan for a while and always regret selling it. I agree Ian, the Micro-car people are a lovely bunch. I managed to attend one of the brilliant rallys at Chatsworth House, many moons ago.

Absolutely splendid! Thanks for that most enjoyable show report, these little cars really are charming especially that superb Lloyd Alexander.

Brilliant video! A Southend registered Invacar and of course, a BMW 700, the very car which both reversed BMW's losses and improved their fortunes prior to the launch of their company saving New Class series. The rest of course, is history...

What a fascinating and amazing period in motoring history, The mind truly boggles at some of these. Compared to some Ian your Invacar looks positively well engineered and luxurious!

Love the way your mates still got the orange disabled sticker in the back of his invacar 😁😁😁😁

Brilliant job Ian, thanks

The proverbial good things in small packages. Utterly charming!

Wow, very envious of you, that looked fantastic Hubnut, thank you for sharing this with us, the variety was great and so many interesting vehicles :)

Great video Ian, thanks for Inc Rosie (2cv) climbing the in ramp 😊. Must say reading the subtitles is very amusing, voice recognition is like predictive text 😉

Wow, that is a wonderful event! I'd love to geek out at it some day. I owned a Goggo coupe' for about 10 years because of the wonderful introduction to microcars I enjoyed at Gould's Microcar Classic events in Brookline Massachusetts. Microcar owners the world over seem to be the friendliest folks!

Excellent. I must get myself one to keep in the back of the transit :-)

Lovely. Nice view of an open Bond early on, hopefully mine will look similar.

Wonderful video Ian! You parked outside what was my old school in Glastonbury, now a retirement home I believe! Good to see you too and I saw myself in the video a few times - an honour to be in and amongst all those fantastic little cars and I've totally fallen on love with micro cars! I loved the Scootercar, never seen one before and was totally bowled over by it! Loved seeing them all at the Haynes Museum! Had a wonderful day there and my American friends who turned up thought they were fantastic! A wonderful sight! I get the impression you like my local area. Do come back!

Another lovely video, thankyou Ian. Nice to see the Bonds as they were produced round't'corner from my house... father-in-law had one as a garden ornament at one point, when they were of zero value. Also quite partial to the beige Reliant Rebel... there's one of those lurking the other side of my garden fence that my neighbour might one day get around to bike-engine-ing.

i'm loving the pac! kinda looks like a renault 5 and a robin had fun then a slightly big usa car the amc pacer came in and added its features and this was born i love it! also 80's everything aws eletric dash this and that lol,

TWC has an identical friend! 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

Great to see you and TWC on Sunday. Nice to have an event like this in Somerset and a great day out for £6 on the gate! Archie the dog isn't sorry for sitting on your foot though (he likes doing that!) Keep up the good work, Jim.

Enjoying this all the more second time around, thanks.

What a great show. I'd love to get to this in the future. Thanks for the detailed look round.

Most excellent 👍 Thanks for sharing ...

This was a very interesting tour of the event, thank you, I had some scary moments as a passenger in a Bond many years ago

What a lovely bunch of owners....smiles and waves aplenty 😁👋

Was a great rally and it was also good to say hello to you in person after watching the channel for so long :)

Great show. Lots of lovely little cars. Wonderful !

That was a lovely video. Your knowledge of the cars' history is amazing.

I must get to this event it looks brilliant 👍 we even got bonus TWC driving footage. Best yet thank you.

Lovely, stylish start to this edition Ian. Very impressive!

Line them up, metal, plastic, wood and papier-mache, then sub divide them into motorbike engines car engines, I love it.

Many thanks again for another great video bro, these wee cars are amazing!! What an assortment of littles gems 😎🤘🤘

I just love those micro cars. You missed filming the lovely little fiat 126 we caught a glimpse of as you were doing your outro haha, it looked really nice, and quite rare these days. That Pac concept micro car was really cool, it did look like it had mk2 fiesta fron lights and indicators though, but still cute as hell, the rear of it was really nice, and the hinges and instrument panel gave it a little touch of class. I would happily own and daily drive it without a problem if it was produced, what a shame it isn't hey.

Thanks for bringing us along. Love these shows. Did anyone else think the prototype PAC resembles an AMC Pacer sold in the States?

Only 14 minutes into this video but... those micro cars look like too much fun! Also, Somerset, my favourite county, aside from Norfolk, spent many holidays there now, well, three! All good times though, Dunster is a must place to visit, you will not find a finer place in Britain! Apart from the village of Castle Acre, in Norfolk, obviously =) Seriously though, really enjoying this video so far, its on pause while i type this as i don't wish to miss the micro car shenanigans, I am tempted to wear my headphones to hear those engines properly as they sound great on my tinny laptop speakers.

The original MkI Bond is so sweet . So many great cars but the nicest surprise for me was that Daihatsu Mira 4x4 towards the end , such a cool little car 👌

The FIAT 126 looks huge in this company! 😂 Fab video as always!

Brilliantly entertaining review again Ian, great photography.The purple Scootacar certainly gets about and has been driven all the way to Belgium to attend a rally and is regularly seen everywhere.The very pleasant owner and his partner in the yellow/black 1933 Austin 7 RP saloon certainly use them as if they were current models which is wonderful to see and distance does not faze them .The Scootacar was obtained as a result of an unpaid debt for repairs to a Marina I think years ago !.Plan to go to the Festival of the Unexceptional next year and hope to see you there .

Messerschmitt's are my absolute favorite Micro car I just love that cockpit design of them.

An amazing display of splendiddity. A great video from you, Ian and many amazing machines. If the Sinclair C5 was that size and had a decent power pack in it (IC or electric) It would have likely been a success. I'm somewhat bemused that 'mini' cars aren't a thing nowadays as for many jobs they'd be ideal.

Get you with your end of day segues. Lovely to see all these microcars coming together.

Nice to see you going down cheddar gorge! My racetrack as a teenager!!! Sadly 11610 miles away now!

Like the lloyd alexander very much. i would have had one of those if i was around back then. NSU Weinsberg looks awesome i will buy one win i win the lottery haha. That drone incident was really funny lol. First thought @32:12 was a mk2 ford fiesta. Another great video ian.

What a wonderful assortment of very, very different answers to the same question. I remember the Pac being unveiled, just about everyone at the time thought it was a fantastic idea and sure to go into production. Apparently the manufacturers didn't agree. I love the delightfully scruffy NSU Prinz, you really don't often see cars like that at shows but there's something very appealing about a car that clearly hasn't been restored to better than new condition and is clearly still in regular use, just as a car should be...

I met some of these guys last year. I started my holiday in England near Headcorn on Schoolhouse Farmcampsite where there was an other microcar meet. On that campsite was a microcar museum too. Lovely place , Lovely people My mate brought his Trabant 601 and I always bring my microcaravan an Eriba Puck. Our German friends brought their Trabant 600 estate towing a micro caravan from Germany!

Thank you Ian for inviting me into your wonderful world of strange vehicles. This was no exception at all. Thanks so much. Pete 🇬🇧

Just wonderful. The total bonkers-ness of it all. Also loving the use of the word "jeepers" 👍

Those Bond bugs took me back. I traded a Vespa 180 in for a 700ES. I could get it onto two wheels on a tight corner, that always made the passenger laugh...not! Loved it , happy days.

Small cars... but big smiles by everyone! Very nice video. Thanks for sharing :)

Brilliant video Ian. I always liked the Bond mini vans but you never see them around now and they'd probably cost a fortune. 😀

Lovely to see a MkC Bond Mini, my first car , bought when I was 16 , had to do a rebuild and change the engine to get it roadworthy. Cost me £25 without an engine, so long ago when Bonds were still in production!

Astonishing lil machines. I’ve never seen so many.

This really was a great day out, I really enjoyed finally meeting HubNut!

What a great atmospheric report of a memorable event!

Another excellent video to add to my memories of an excellent day. It was really good to meet you and have a chat. I drove home thinking about buried Invacars… FYO R336 WNT is also a 2CV. I wondered if they were cars built from parts, but I guess then they'd have Q plates

Fantastic line up in front of the Cathedral. Looks a fantastic building. Would love to see inside.

How brilliant. So many futuristic designs and wonderful shapes. I dream of owning a BMW 700. Surprisingly few Goggos though. The surprise micro car is gorgeous too. Lovely things. Cheers.

Excellent video. I now want a Bond Bug! (And an Isetta,a Trabant,etc.....)

I felt sorry for the bloke with the gigantic bike when you laughed. that look was telling a lot :( great content and great show

Thanks for this, a great turnout this year. Sadly my Isetta is STILL not ready for the road, so I missed this years show.

First saw an Isetta when I was quite young Ian. The doctor in our small village of Ulceby near Alford got one. Quite a funny sight as he was a large man.

I know HubNut is about cars but the Wells cathedral looks very impressive ! Great vid.

I like micro cars Thank you Hub Nut!!

Some gorgeous designs. The Lloyd Alexander and the Mira Aventzaddo would be my choice, oh and a peel P50 or scootcar for the sheer fun of being able to give to a relative to drive at 16.

love small cars..ty Ian

What a lovely collection of cars just came back from wells was there two weeks lovely plaice shame you weren’t there then dam

Great video Ian all the information and editing was perfect thank you 😊

What a great weekend I wish I had been there, excellent footage. We have the Bubble Car Museum near us which is worth a day out.

Great, so many small cars together :-)

Nice to see all those little cars 😁👍

That was amazing thank you so much. 🤗

Never really got into the micro/bubble cars thing but have always liked the look of the the Fiat 126 and Jdm micro cars. Ps. I also like most of the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost offerings. Thanks Ian.

My old man was the service director @Norton Villiers(Marston Rd. Wolverhampton) in the mid 60's. When my sister passed her test, for a first car, she was 'lent' a MkG Bond(BDA 666) that had been hanging round the factory for ages(there had been plans to fit it with a 'Starmaker' engine(this never matirialised) she kept it for a year! It had a 4T Villiers twin, and a siba reverse electric start(this ran the thing backwards, and, effectively gave you 4 gears in reverse!) We were very sorry when that was returned.

Shame BBC doesn't give you some air time for this gem especially in light of the brilliant Bangers & Cash being shown on network TV 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Used too go to these events, always enjoyable !

Spectacular gathering..........the Fiat 500 looked enormous by comparison!

Fabulous video, great to see so many microcars .My Dad had a lovely little NSU Prinz, with 600cc aircooled SOHC engine, really well made. Our neighour had a Gogomobile...

Great video, and explanation of the microcars.. 👌👍😊

So many wonderful little cars, most of which were never sold in Australia. We had a couple of tries of our own with the Hartnett and the Lightburn Zeta in the 50's and 60's and bunch of Kei cars in the 70's and 80's znd even the FSM Nikki (Fiat 126) into the 90's but I think cheap Korean cars like the Hyundai Excel for $9,990 in 1986 killed the market for Micro cars here. Maybe it's just Aussies don't like Micro cars, even the Smart stopped being sold in 2015. My '83 Suzuki Hatch 800 (the 2 seat wagon version only here) was massive fun to drive but impossible to get parts for when I wore out the engine. I was talking to the owner of a Messerschmidt KR200 a few weeks ago who talked about someone who'd spent over AU $90k on his. When a Fiat 500 is over $20k here cars like these are sadly priced way out of my reach. I love watching the parade of remarkable vehicles on your channel.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. You made it about the cars and not about yourself as some narrators do. The only thing that I didn't care for was the extensive coverage of the PAC. With all of the other cool cars, it was a bit of a letdown. But overall, outstanding effort.

Always loved the little bubble cars :)
