Our visit to the Capesthorne Hall classic car show 2023 turned up some real automotive gems as we'd expected. This is a regular event for us as the great setting in front of Capesthorne Hall itself tends to ensure a bumper turnout of classic cars for us to spend a day wandering around and admiring, at this classic cars event in Cheshire.
The glorious weather was an added bonus, and it was great that we were both able to meet and chat to regulars who follow us here on KZfaq, we really do appreciate the views, comments and new subscribers that these car show walkarounds lead to.
Highlights at Capesthorne Hall this time were many, they include a rare pair of Ford Cortina Mk2 estates, a stunning Humber and the immaculate Viva HA alongside it, a Jaguar 3.4 saloon (Mk1) in BRG, a Mk3 Spitfire fitted with a fastback Ashley roof which reminded me of my own car in the late 1980s, a time-warp Vauxhall Magnum with just 6500 miles on the clock, two (!) Renault 9 Broadways, a SAAB 99 Turbo (a poster car for me as a kid), a straight-eight Buick roadster, plus a selection of Triumph GT6s.
In this video I capture many of the classic cars as they arrived on site, then take a walk around the cars once they were all parked up.
This is a two-day event, Jaguar was the featured marque on the Sunday (our visit), bank holiday Monday saw Mercedes-Benz cars in the spotlight in front of the main hall itself. It would have been nice to see more older Jaguars in this prime location, but I don't know how these things are decided. Fortunately there were plenty of classic Jaguars dotted around elsewhere, including the aforementioned Jaguar Mk1 which, along with the Humber, would have been my joint car(s) of the day.
Once again the Capesthorne Hall classic car show didn't disappoint and we hope to be back there again soon. I'll include a link at the end of this video to one of the 2022 events that I filmed.
Please let me know in the comments which would have been your "take home" choices. Likes and subs also welcomed as always.

Wonderful presentation with beautiful clear photography. My favourites would include the 1934 Buick (not really rare in Australia during the 1940s and 1950s), the white Mark 9 Jaguar, the Humber Super Snipe, and the magnificent 1949 Cadillac Fleetwood.

Holy Cow....I was looking at the Corvette Stingrays at 12:28 and what should appear at 12:30 but a gold 1989 Chrysler New Yorker!! Of all the American cars to own, an "M" body Chrysler no less. Amazing to see one in such good condition in the UK let alone here in the homeland of the marque when it was new.

Another great vid, seeing that Silver MK3 Zodiac early on reminded me how many owners of these big Fords used to paint the rear panel between the chrome trims Red to emulate the later MK4 cars full width rear lamp effect. As usual you found some real gems including the Two Princess wedges and the 3.4 Jag. It’s great to see the mint cars but sometimes it’s the sheer rarity of the cars at these shows which makes your vids so great to watch. Great job 👏

I'm with you - the Humber Super Snipe or the Saab 99 Turbo would be my 'take home' cars from that lot - one day when I win the Lottery ! One thing I wish is that people would not put on after market wheels - personally, I prefer a car to be in original guise. Thanks for sharing. Take care 🙂

My Father owns the Morris 8 Tourer along with a 2 door Morris 8 Saloon that was featured on a previous video at the Avro Heritage Museum :). The saloon is a 1934 model and the tourer is a 1936 model. I also own the Clove Brown Austin Mini Mayfair that was featured on a video at Capesthorne Hall last year and is in the back of a few shots in this video. It has been in the family since 2003 and I have owned it since 2010, truly my forever car. Thank you for the brilliant videos!

Hi, I owned the Morris 8 Tourer CYU 140 until summer of 2016 so your Dad probably bought it from me unless there has been another owner in between times. I bought it specifically to take my Dad out in as he had always fancied one. I upgraded the engine to Series E along with a 4-speed gearbox which made it a much better drive. I hope your Dad is enjoying it. Best wishes, Alan

Capesthorne Hall used to hold a kit car show, I think (as far as I can recall) it was the only kit car show they ever held, which was in 2004. I remember seeing a Challenger E-Type replica there as well as a D Type replica (though no idea if it was a Realm D Type), plus lots of Caterham/Lotus 7 type kit cars, a Jag XK140 kit car as well, plus a few classic cars. I wonder why they have never held this kit car show since?.

There is something very appealing about a 4 seater convertible I have always fancied one to be honest.While I understand why the Hump Of Doom is there I would have thought that for a show such as this they would somehow try to minimise it for the event such as a gently sloped temporary ramp.That Humber Super Snipe is truly a magnificent car.A lot of work pulling these videos together. My favourite has to be the yellow RR Silver Shadow II, I can definitely see myself in that, followed by the Jag MKIX. Each and every one of these cars is someones pride and joy.

So many vehicles to like, love the Goldfinger Rolls as you say 😂 Take home for me has to be 1st, the stunning Humber Super Snipe lV, 2nd, Toyota Crown Coupe, and 3rd the humble and cute Hillman Minx Phase Vl convertible. Some lovely original looking cars, but some owners fit non spec wheels which is totally out of character. To me it just ruins the look of the car. Each to their own taste I suppose. Obviously they have bad taste, and I say that with love in my voice 😂 Another enjoyable video, thank you, but looking forward to another street scene car video from yesteryear.
