The NEC classic car show 2022 - it was HUGE

- As expected, the NEC classic car show 2022 was huge, with five enormous exhibitor halls packed to the rafters almost with a mind-boggling array of vintage and classic cars. Mixed in amongst the cars were all manner of other vehicles, from an ex-Wings (Paul McCartney) tour bus, to old scooters, tractors, a few lorries, vans, microcars, plus classic cars up for auction, autojumble stalls, and so much more, all relating to the ever-popular classic car world.
The NEC classic car show, or the "Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, with discovery+" classic car show to give it its full title, runs for three days, Friday to Sunday, and must be the biggest show of its type to be held here in the UK. If you're planning a visit in future, wear good shoes and try and prepare your route around the show before you get here, so that you don't miss the cars that you're most interested in. Fords, for example, are mainly grouped together into Hall 8. The variety of old cars and other vehicles on show is remarkable, and the scale of the event quite staggering to me, being more used to pub meets and evening gatherings as I am.
In this video I feature over 300 of the classic cars on display. I had planned on doing a walkaround type video as I often do at classic car shows, but after a couple of trial recordings I found that the background noise as the show got busier, and in some cases the music playing in the background (which could lead to copyright issues if I included it in the vid) meant that it was better to put a photos collection together instead. This approach also made it easier to focus on the cars that were more of interest to me, skipping those that aren't really in the scope of - or a bit too new for - the Old Classic Car channel. If I included your car, please pop a note into the comments and say hello. If I missed out your car - sorry!!! I took over 900 photos during the day and even then I missed out nearly all of the classic car auction area, and no doubt many of the club stands, but I did my best.
I can really recommend a visit to the NEC classic car show, I like it because there are often many old cars on show that I just wouldn't see anywhere else, but pre-planning to make best use of your time there is essential.
I hope this collection proves to be of interest and gives just a flavour of what the event held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) is like. There are loads of walkaround show videos on the channel now so please take a look at them when you're finished here.

Thank you, a really great selection of photographs from the NEC.The little Ford Model Y and 8, the Morris 8 and the beautiful pre-war Dolomite are my favourites.
Your effort has enabled me to appreciate many many marques. Thank you from Australia.
I'm pleased that these uploads are of interest! :)
I absolutely love the Mk 1 zephyr 6 and the Standard 8 and 10
Still photos instead of video worked well, thanks. 😁👍
Thanks for the feedback :)
What a great video. Thanks for all your efforts. Some of the cars brought back fond and not so fond memories. M from Malvern.
A friend of mine owns the 1960 mini featured. I witnessed some of the hard hours that went in to restore it. Beautiful car.
thank you another great video love to sit down and watch all these wonderful cars well done
Thanks Michael, glad it was interesting to you
Another good one ~ thank you
Beautiful classics 👌 thank you sir 👍
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable video. Somewhat more relaxed viewing from the sofa, rather than trudging round on foot!
What a lot of special vehicles that you have managed to photograph in this show. I spent a happy time just looking at them. For me the star is the Jowett Bradford Utility. I can imagine it in the Mustard colour of the one I loved so much in 1955 aged around nine.
Did you see the Jowett ice cream van in the vid I did earlier in the year of the Restoration Show at the NEC? That was a bobby dazzler.
Excellent video once again 👍👍👍 Favourite from 1st half the mk3 cortina gsx...
Great film! Well done .
Thanks George!
Thanks for sharing. I love these videos!
Thanks Robin
Hi love the walkabout my mate used a PB Cressda as a tow motor for his Ford Anglia hot rod
I do love the large older convertibles, I always fancied one. This video is much better and more interesting than some of the chaotic walk around ones for sure. and a good commentary Some magnificent cars there.
Thanks Vince, while I'd have preferred to do a walkaround, this way it did allow me to skip the cars that I was less interested in and focus instead on my personal favourites without the problem of background noise and copyrighted music to deal with :)
NOTE**
Later Bricklin cars had a Ford 351 ci. “Windsor “ engine.
The last of the cars were produced in early 1976.**
Great video .
The Gordon-Keeble,
then the 2 Borgward Isabellas, though I also like the early post-war British cars, especially the Jowette.
The M.G. 1100 “Sedan “/[ saloon](😁), was very cute.
I’m also partial towards the Ford Cortina MK-2 design.
Either the “wagon “[ estate], or the coup. It’s just a nice simple clean design, that can look really sporty with little effort.
📻🙂
Thanks to the owners who exhibit or participate in shows like this, we are able to enjoy ourselves. I was able to see various car models from various countries again this time. I didn't expect to see the Mazda Porter Cab, a light truck from Japan. Surprise. Thank you for uploading the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb ,top video
Thanks ST
Very nice indeed . I've had this on my to watch list for sometime ! The Lotus Cortina was Jim Clarks car and was fitted with the Elan rear i.r.s . Jim was asked to try it out by Colin Chapman, he never got it back ! I comprehensively restored this car some years back and the present owner turned down an offer of £350k ! He also has the last Lotus Cortina l restored . Regarding the V12 "e"type they did have Strombergs but that example was on S.U.'s ........nit picking ! I have to make it next year ! Thankyou
Had to pause for a second to comment on how much your channel is appreciated on so many levels. I watch them all over and over and over and still keep learning new facts and tidbits I missed on previous go rounds. Haven't tired of
even one of your presentations as yet, keep the great work coming 👍 !
Thanks for your kind words!
I saw the Bertone Lancia at the Earls court motor show. Vey early 70's.
Did Saturday visit , 6.5 hrs and 7 miles of walking recorded,even then missed some cars seen later on videos!! So comfy shoes a must esp on 66 year old feet !😁, Better lay out this year hall 8 was indeed all the ford car clubs ,my main interest.
7 miles!! wow
Great selection. Given how busy it was I think you did incredibly well to get these photos without 100’s of people in the way 😂
It certainly got very busy later in the day, I started out quite early before most people were in
@@oldclassiccarUK thanks for the heads up as I operate a film camera
Again , amazing car show. Many thanks for making my day.. just wondering why some of the license plates are mentioned in no relation to the car??.. hoping to attend that show soon.. good job man..
The 1947 Allard L1 convertible is certainly a very swoopy and dashing car. It features in the British film series: Dick Barton Special Agent. A sort of derring-do crime fighter series which I found on the internet, somewhere. All jolly good fun and all that. Fantastic collection of vehicles at the NEC.👍👍
Hi Rick, I owned a Vauxhall PC Estate very similar to the Queens Vauxhall Viceroy Estate on 30-08 I believe it was made by Abbot It was a fabulous car three speed with overdrive . In the long ago days without Radar it would cruise happily at 90/ 100 mph on the motorway
I paid £130 for the car serviced it replaced the servo on the overdrive, when I bought it it was cheap because of no overdrive. I sold it to a friend who used it as a racing car tow car. This was a great car one of my favourites “ O for a barn all those years ago” Alan
Good morning. Thanks for this great collection. Thanks for eliminating the background noise and music. Does Richard Hammond still own the Opel Kadett you showed at the beginning of this collection. He used it to tour Botswana 14 years ago. It looks beautiful in your photo. Thanks again.
Yes he does.
Thanks for watching, yes it is still his
Thanks for another great vlog.I know you are a fan of the Standard, have you read The Works Triumphs by Graham Robson? it's all-out the Standard Triumph Rally Team from the Standards through to the TR7 V8,the first few chapters are all about the Standards which you might find interesting Back to your video I was loaned an Opel Ascona 400 road car when woking for a Vauxhall Dealer apparently only 2 right hand drive cars were ever built by the factory, its was delivered with virtually no oil in the engine, and has now been lost without trace,I wonder if it is still in a barn somewhere waiting to be rediscovered ,I think VBOA would like it on their stand As for the Moskavitch, I remember going to a club rally evening compared by Jim Gavin he had done the Tour of Britain rally in one and when he came into Paddock Bend at Brand,s Hatch flat out it was doing 57MPH
I think I’ve watched most of the videos of this show that are out there and this is the best format by far. I think I’m right in saying that the Sweeney Granada was actually a Consul 3000GTto be replaced by a mk2 Granada 2.8iS in the later series.It was nice to see a mk2 Cavalier SRi,I had one the same colour and age in the late’80s,extremely reliable if I remember correctly.It was great to see a couple of Gerald Palmer’s finest with the Jowett and the Wolesley. I think the Minor catering van with the very high roof conversion would have started life as a Gown Van,the height enabled garments to be transported on hangers without creasing or damage but not too heavy,I’ve seen a few photos of car derived vans converted like this in the past but needless to say,survivors must be very few and far between.Great video and a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon.Keep up the good work.
Thanks flf. Doing a walkaround was my first choice but at least this way I can focus on the cars I found most interesting, without having to edit out or walk briskly past things of less interest personally. Plus the background music thing in one of the halls that could have been a problem. Glad it was of interest.
That's my kadett coupe behind the yellow one (the other side of the stanchion)and I've got the original engine out of the yellow one.
Personally I like BMC 61 to 71. in particular , Simca, Morris , Austin , Ford , and Triumph
Favourites: H-van, Rancho, Strada, BX, 126, RS 1600i.
Hi Rick - MUCH better to see these pictures instead of the somewhat 'dodgy' videos doing the rounds on CZcams ! Your commentary is perfect with all the info you impart too. If I could take anything home from here, it would be either of the Armstrong Siddeleys, or the Mk 1 Ford Zodiac Six as my Dad had one in that colour, in about 1962 - 455 AML. You took 900 pictures, so there HAS to be another video in there somewhere ! Thanks for all your hard work, it is so much aappreciated. Take care 🙂
Thanks Michael, I've not checked out any of the other vids but I will have a look this week :)
great blog mate still looking for a Cambridge or one like it to do up Gary from Crewe 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I believe all the PA Cresta’s were two tone.
I enjoyed the still photos l do like your style and l have watched many of your videos l have seen many you tube videos on the NEC classuc car show unfortunately l live in Australia and it would be difficult for me to attend but through you tube l have seen a lot l fid like the comercial vehicles as l hsve owned myself all Japanese and that later Opel Cadet in Australia it was the Holden Gemini and the Opal Calibra was the Holden Calibra also the Holden Gemini were buikt by Isuzu and there was a deisel engined Gemini they were very popular the petrol and deisel and the Triumph Courier well in Australia there was the Ford Courier was a rebadged Mazda Bravo a ute l owned one for a couple of years
Glad you liked the vid Les
Japanese cars? Check out Cutting donuts crazy car.. look at the winter scene video of a 1976 3 window coupe with 4 wheel steering and 4x4 made from a 4 door sedan/ saloon .. it's a fun car to drive but at 50 mph it gets a little drifty in the back with the rear wheels set straight
Awesome selection 👍 could there be a sharper contrast from B to C than the luxurious Bristol 400 to the Citroen Maharishi 😂👌👍
The last Swallow you feature was a Swift Swallow, not a Standard Swallow, 1 of only 2 survivors, built on the Swift chassis. Didn't go this year, but do find the sheer quantity of cars overwhelming, I prefer the Restoration Show which is much smaller. Great video, thanks for sharing!
The Resto show is certainly a lot more manageable in a day! thanks for watching
The pre-war Standard was a 12
1 03 00 Regal Supervan!!
SVF 308N isn't a Regal-based Supervan at all, it's a Robin van, see www.reliant.website/robin_hist.shtml
Sorry to be pedantic but the Sweeney car is a Consul GT 😊
That is very true, I realised that later :-)
The Rover P6 Police car is mine ut was great chatting with you
Thanks for the info about your car, I had planned on returning to do a walkaround and have a chat but in the end I didn't get down for day 2.
@@oldclassiccarUK if you are in the North West or North Wales at shows we can catch up then
wonder where the engine is on the vw van / caravan
In the usual place I guess, like in the vans the rear floor is really high up to clear the motor underneath
Any of the Marcos ?
I think there are a couple of Marcos photos in there
Can you really not define between 0 and D (wartburg @ 3:40)
Yes I can, I glanced at the screen and made an error, my profuse apologies
@@oldclassiccarUK my apologies to you, my comment did seem a bit troll ish, 2 mistakes in 1 1/2 hour video is not a bad job, and the 2nd, Reliant Robin instead of Regal Supervan is made by a majority of people
very difficult to see everything in just one day, and for me the car to take home was the blue vauxhall FE estate!
and i'm really not a fan of the electric conversions of classic cars........... sacrilege in my opinion.
To electrify a vintage car is just plain sacrilege. It’s then no longer a vintage or classic car and. Should just fall under modified vehicles. Electric cars are a complete waste of time and effort.
its not on to put a electric motor in any classic car
I tend to agree, you just end up with a "classic" in silhouette only
Electric conversions of Classic cars NO, Electric vehicles other then those from the Very early 1900's, also no.
