Re. The cost of the cars mentioned: you don’t need to spend hugely to have fun. My $2,500 daily driver Karmann Ghia is 53 years old and doesn’t handle very well, or go very fast, but is just so charming and fun. Gets better reactions than the expensive stuff in my experience…It’s a 356 on the cheap (at least that’s what I tell myself).It’s nice, but not pristine, so I don’t worry about parking it and bits are readily available for same prices. Wish I’d known years ago that you don’t need an expensive vehicle to get such enjoyment!

Only Fools’ Van was a Regal not a Robin! Had enough of experts.

The "Austin" Marina was massively popular in Canada

Ouch! Motoring Faux Pas - It was a Reliant Regal in OFAH .

VBH has the best smile and laugh, didn’t really listen to the chaps 🤣

The original price, or status, of a car from over 30 years ago is completely irrelevant. THEY ALL RUSTED AWAY no matter whom the manufacturer was.

Entertaining. Love Vicki and a simple amusing quiz to round off.

This is about European cars…….hmmm? As a USA driver since 1965, I’m surprised that this video made it to the USA. My opinion of these cars was not much. The early Saabs (1950’s) were cute but not for the USA. The Porches of the 50’s were ok. The rest were at best poor, except the Sunbeam Tigers. The Alpha Romeo’s good for 3 years and then rust heaps. The others that made it here were about as good as the Juno’s. Need I say more? PS: The XKE’s in the 60’s, were cute, but only for the rich, too costly to maintain.

Some things never change. I drove a 23 Corsa during a holiday in Northern Spain about a month ago. Never again! Talking about lack of feedback. Its software actually resists certain inputs that could be important for your safety!

In the 61 years of my clean licence driving experience; I've had an awful lot of 'classic' cars. From Rolls Royces to MG Midgets. My daily driver is an 18 year old Lexus GS300 SE-L which is a truly amazing car; but to be honest, I'd be hard pressed to name the best classic. 3litre Vauxhall Senators have to be in the list. Along with Rover P5b, the saloon, not the coupe. My budget won't run to a Ferrari, but show me a Ferrari that can catch a Nissan R32 GTR Skyline anyway. my last R32 would do in excess of 200mph! I don't think there is such a thing as a 'worst' classic car; simply because owners bring their cars up to the very best they can be. It's just a matter of personal choice. For instance; I'm about to buy a '94 Lincoln Town Car; it's in fabulous condition and with its 4·6 litre Mustang engine it should go rather well too. I doubt any of you would entertain such a car, but it's my choice, and for me, nothing else matters.

The problem with you all is that you’re fixated at Histoirics in a snobbish way by such a few bijoux marks, such as Porsche/Aston/Mercedes etc. It’s maybe a result of you only thinking what will sell? There’s no real consideration of the merits or otherwise of classic cars. And that jokey approach to the subject “really” grates. Sorry guys,.

It’s the overall enjoyment of the vehicle and balance of it’s qualities- handling is important in my newer vehicles - Maserati and Porsche, but I equally enjoy pootling about in my old Karman Ghia or ‘63 Corvette these days and would love an SM for its combination of comfort and design…

Bit of a posh love in for me

Great show as always 😃

More interesting if you talked about cars under £100,000

Great vid 👏🏼

VBH luvvy , it’s an age thing but I don’t want to go sideways round a corner it want to waft in sheer comfort I.e. Citroen DS 23 efi .

Fergus Dublin Ireland Brilliant show. Looking forward to next one!

Hydraulic Citroens got a bad name but we’re no worse than anything else for rust and the hydraulics were great. Just fix the rust and treat the internal cavities.

Motoring "professionals" of all stripes regularly trash cars for not handling. Surely part of the fun of driving in a willing manner is overcoming a vehicles cornering abilities. Part of my driving education was hurrying a 1958 Morris Oxford Estate. Its virtue was that it would slide in such a lumbering fashion that there was plenty of time for a tyro to rescue it. Most cars are not intended to go fast round corners and off a race track it is probably reckless to try. It is worth looking at standard production racing in the 1970s to see which cars were successful in their (usual capacity) class. New Zealand in particular throws up winners like Vauxhall Victors (2 litre or better, 3.3 litre) and Chrysler Valiants.

Possibly the worst, certainly the most disappointing for me was the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing.

Astons are overpriced for the name and a Mercedes with an Aston body, Mk2 3.8 the best Jag of that era

Telling me what I must and mustn't do? Who on earth do they think they are?

Good analysis of some questionable vehicle's, agree Vauxhall range never felt like a 'drivers car' Corsa SRI, Astra GTE, Cavalier SRI etc unless passed to Lotus. The Carlton/Senator ranges were their best. Back in 60s/70s there was a heavy American influence (Cresta etc) perhaps there was an American approach to handling!

VBH is gold. Agree on Vauxhalls being mostly joyless. Tom, please stop pronouncing coupe as "coop", especially in the context of a Ferrari, you're not American!

Seem to remember Vicki borrowed a Suzuki vitara off me in Barbados once!

I loved my Vauxhall Calibrate,I loved it until it rained and I tried to turn either way above 17mph. Frustrating for a 19 yo who need to travel at 98mph at all times!!

Had a Marina. Not rusty! Would've been a good car if they had copied Ford's mechanical ideas. Nuts.

Thank you all for your comments!

5:25 It's a Reliant Regal Vicki. :)

Rover 3.5 PB5 coupe. Fabulous classic

The classic Austin Allegro was NEVER "beige" - it was HARVEST GOLD❗

Italian electrics, its lump of pasta.

Vicki's dirty shoes??

Another Vauxhall that was a nice car in its day was a 1960's FA model VX/490 .

Great pod shame about our knowledge of the alphabet 😂

Worse classic exotics - every Maserati / Ferrari / Lambo to 2012. Especially GranTurismo & 360.

Viva HC

Each to their own. We all have different tastes and desires. Clearly the presenters opinions will never match with everyone’s, but I’m not sure it’s worth putting these presenters opinions out there at all.

She ages well!

Snobs ........

Well that was a load of pointless waffle.

Another 3 boring presenters give a bias view in a podcast style video 💩

And they slag British cars of the 70s off. Never driven or owned a french or talian car from the 70s ???? Clichéd shit this
