- Plenty of classic cars, pickups and motorcycles turned up for the regular "Off the Rails" morning meet held at the Crewe Heritage Centre, Cheshire, on 27th Feb 2022. It was a good excuse to dust down the 1920s Dodge and amble over at a leisurely pace, its first show in several years, the Ford Anglia enjoying a rest on this occasion.
As always there was a real variety of older vehicles on display, favourites for me included the green Triumph TR5, the Austin 7, and a bright red MGC Roadster. I had quite a long chat with the owner of the rare Vanden Plas 3 Litre Princess which until quite recently was little more than a basket-case by all accounts (our chat is included in this video), and also with the owner of the white Hillman Imp parked inside the main building, which is also included here.
Other classic cars in attendance included a fab bright yellow Lotus Elan S4, a variety of Triumphs (Dolomites & 1500s, TRs, Spitfire, GT6, 2000s/2500s), MGBs, Vauxhalls, and quite a mix of American cars and pickups (Chevys, Dodges, Fords etc). The Maestro & Montego contingent was out in numbers too, no Rover SD1s this time though. Pre-war days were represented by our Dodge and the aforementioned Austin 7, it'd be nice to see a few more early cars making the trip over to the Heritage Centre. A number of vintage and classic motorcycles and scooters also turned up.
This is turning into an excellent morning/breakfast classic car meet, keep an eye on the Off the Rails Facebook page for future show dates. Thanks to all the organisers once again, also for arranging the great weather.
I'll include a link to the previous (Jan 22) meet at the end of this one.

Brilliant video yet again, especially the 'interview' with the owner of the Austin Princess 3ltr - I LOVE those cars, in fact all those 'big' Austins. I dream ov owning a Princess R one day !!! Thanks for sharing your day out with us.
Thanks, I find it interesting to chat to owners about their cars because it's easy to forget just how much work is required to drag some of these old survivors into roadworthy condition
Lovely old cars, lots of smiles. Thanks.
I think everyone's just glad to be getting out and about, doing normal things
The imp had a bad reputation back in the day, but you have to admire its unique design. Thanks for a really interesting video. Peace be unto you.
👍👍👍 Excellent video once again. Like the running commentary. Too many great motors to pick a favourite...
Thank you for giving some time over to the Imps - the greatest little car that never stood a chance ( due to politics, geography, strikes, ridiculous deadlines etc etc). A smashing collection in this video, a great variety, a big thumbs up.
Thanks Richard
Really great video of a terrific show. Many thanks. It was good to meet you and chat about my Morris.
Thanks again hope to see you at the next event.
Ah righty I didn't realise that was you, yes nice to have a chat and see your Minor. Certainly hope to be at the next one!
Thanks again for this great video..cheers
Thanks ST!
Very nice to see some stunning Vauxhalls. Especially the Sports Hatch in Extra Dark Wine, they were a numbered limited edition. I sold a couple whilst working for Bentley Brothers in Sheffield, a very well respected and long serving family run Vauxhall/Bedford dealer who are sadly no more. Too many big groups these who fail to offer the personal touch of the quality family owned dealerships.
Thanks for posting another interesting and entertaining presentation. Nice to see the Dodge looking in fine fettle also.
Thanks for watching, I know the owner of the Sports Hatch and I think he now runs the droop snoot register, or at least is involved, if you remember anything of the cars you sold (reg nos?) then I'm sure he'd be interested to hear.
@@oldclassiccarUK Sadly I have lost all my record's. Mine were registered in Sheffield, that's as much help as I can give Sadly.
Wow, another great share from you. Brilliant to see all these old cars. It doesn't seem that long ago that we used to just see these things every day and take them all for granted. You are the 'go to guy' for this old classic stuff.
Thanks for giving it a watch, if you know of anyone who might find it interesting please pass on the link (czcams.com/video/Ur3_SoDLZvM/video.html)
Really good thank you so much....I do not live in the UK any longer and do miss these fantastic days out😍
Thanks Happy H
That was quite a day and quite a marathon to watch 👍👍
I try and keep things down to 20-30 mins usually, but there was a lot going on at this one! Thanks for watching
As an ex-pat in his 80's I do so enjoy " Old Classic Car " - Brings back many memories of my early days in England .
Glad you find it of interest John, don't forget to visit the main Old Classic Car website too if you like to read about these old things
Wonderful video as usual! I have to say little Dodge is eye catching!
Nice to see "little Dodge" out and about, I thought she held her own amongst everything else. Very much enjoyed the chats you did with a couple of owners, really adds to the enjoyment when you have a back story. Many thanks and keep up the good work. All the best. P4 man.
Thanks, the way I see it is that I might know (sometimes vaguely) what car I'm looking at, but only the owner knows it inside/out and can talk about the specifics of that example. Thanks for watching
Some great cars i like the well used triumph 2000 and the vauxhall droopsnoot sports hatch .
Thanks for another great video and some super cars, good turn out for the time of year.keep up the good work and keep these videos coming .👍👍
Thanks, Harley's got his own take on the same event going live Sunday am (his channel is CarTraction)
Favourite 44:12 Wolseley Mini Van. For the poshest painter & decorator in Mayfair. 😁
Excellent car show and video. Little Dodge looked superb there, held her head up high. Great to see it being used.
Thanks Alan, to drive it's like nothing else I've owned, way different to even something of the 1930s/1940s, I imagine comparing an early 1900s veteran to a 1920s vintage car is a similar leap in experience.
Beautiful machines, I would happily give a home to one of the mg roadster s. Many thanks. G.
RJ, My Dad wanted me to buy a new Ford Elite in college, but I rebelled and bought a one-year-old 1974 BMW 2002. He wasn't delighted with my choice, but still loaned me the money to buy it. I felt pretty smug, and autocrossed it until the sticky Pirelli tires were bald. Then I had to beg him for tire money so the car would pass inspection. He imposed a racing ban after that until I could afford to buy my own rubber. I'm still happy with my choice: Beemer over Ford. Great Vid.
a decent turnout of old motors there! and a cracking video!!
Thanks!
Great show, the Torino made me laugh, proof positive there a collector for everything. Surprised to see so much American stuff there honesty.
Thanks for the tour and the knowledge, very impressive!
Thanks Shaky, yes the local American car owners always support this event well
Great lineup at Crew, much enjoyed. How far did you have to drive the little Dodge?
Your knowledge is positively impressive, thank you.
Thanks Alexander 👍
Excellent video, some brilliant fine looking cars. 👍👍😎
Heated rear windows should have been standard on the Imp,
Keep your hands warm while pushing it home again.
Chrome bumper MGB every time.
I prefer the chrome bumper MGB but what I've become really interested in is the MGA. I love the lines in those cars and was disappointed not to see one in your video.
Yes MGAs are very nice, I can only video what's there but I'll keep my eye open for MGAs at future shows
Nice video, interested to hear your Dodge is originally from Australia, I actually live in Adelaide but couldn't make out the name of the dealer in the ad you were displaying in your windscreen. A lot of the cars at that show are new to me, obviously they weren't available here.
The dealer was called The Waymouth Motor Company, thanks for watching
Metro.and.masestro.are.real.good.australia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice to see so many Triumphs even the ones that seem to be a work in progress. I like the Imps, it is true that they had their problems but racing wise they gave the Minis some competition . I think if they could've refined them a little more, over heating was their problem, then they would have sold more units. The APT didn't catch on mainly (or in part) because on press runs they ended up with tea and coffee in their laps. The concept was good though. Nice to see a few 'hot rod' pop's I did like the red one with hub caps, very nice as were the others. Those scooters were breeding behind your back I think, nice original looking too. We have see some of those cars before but it is good that the owners show them the light of day regularly. Thanks again for the video most enjoyable. 👍
I suspect the black ‘66 Mustang may have been “Ceramic Coated “.
The “little “!white Chevy, is a “Chevy-ll , Nova”, later, just Nova.
The Chevy-ll came out in ‘62 , changed body style in ‘67.
My first car was a ‘64 Chevy-ll Nova.
194 ci. Straight 6 cyl, and 2 speed Automatic, 4 door.
🙂📻
That Montego isn’t half bad 😉
Not biased eh!??? :-) thanks for watching
l Love your vlogs . I'm currently trying to restore a 1991 Renault Espace mk2 and its frustratingly fighting me all the way, but i still love her
I
I can imagine that finding parts must be interesting to say the least, I have some Renault content lined up as it happens ...
LOL The deafening silence at 4:12 made me almost choke on my drink. That was the second time I almost expected to hear Jeremy Clarkson berate Richard Hammond. This one has a comedic flare.
20:15 HELLO BEAUTIFUL!! Gen 3 Phase 1 Challenger in Brilliant Black Metallic.
Its the variety of vehicles that turn up that make it interesting, not everything is my cup of tea but we all have favourites - thanks for watching :)
Has to be the 32 fender less coupe , blown Daimler hemi V8 , move over 😁
I thought it looked like a Daimler V8
Can't beat the old classics, not keen on american cars ( spose been old english guy ) lol
Fav has to be your Dodge, 98 years old and still looks immaculate
Shame no A35s or 40s but least there was some moggs 🙂
Great video thank you 👍🙂
Thanks Tom, yes I'd have thought there'd be one or two A30s/A35s around
Let me take this video and this example (37:27) of wing-mounted side mirrors to ask you this (coming from a U.S. subscriber): even if the angle away from straight ahead was shallower with these as opposed to mirrors mounted at the A-pillar, thus maybe taking your eyes off the road less drastically, with the mirror being that far away and consequently the field of its reflected view so reduced, how the heck did you see anything? Not to mention the need for an assistant to adjust them for you!
Once they're set up correctly (like with any rear view mirror), I found wing mirrors to be excellent - my Austin A40 had them when I first took to the roads and they really worked well, no need to move your head left or right, just look over in their direction and you got a good view of the road behind. They don't work on every car, but in many cases they can be effective. Thanks for watching
Great video first car i ever had growing up in dublin was a sunbeam stilletto do any exist today i have come across one but it had a moterbike engine in it so thats not right
I think there are a few Stilettos around at the shows, I'll keep my eye open this year
that white chevy car is a nova.
Mk III GT-6 all day long.
sweet little car, the TR5 would be tempting too, I am obviously still a Triumph man at heart even though the 240Z lured me away with it's promise of a rear suspension that actually works.
My Rotoflex-d Spitfire hung on well around the twisties, although it was a bit of a fudge I suppose
@@racketman2u I honestly only have one true favorite and that's my Gen3 Dodge Challenger T/A, but I could fill an Australian cattle ranch with all the cars I want for this reason or that. I've gained so many more watching videos on this channel. I've found out about cars and lorries that are just amazing.
@@oldclassiccarUK I had a couple of 87 & 88 Subarus that would run some pretty tight turns. I pushed the 88 too hard one day in 98 and I found out about lift off oversteer. My silver paint is still on the interstate K-rail, lesson learned.
👍
Metro and Maestro truly awful cars! Very nice to see the GT6, I’m constantly surprised at how few Vitesse’s seem to be about. I enjoyed the chats with the owners a very nice touch👍👍
Thanks Andy, hopefully one or two Vits will emerge in Spring
Far from awaful ! I’ve owned one for 6 years been the best car I’ve owned!
@@maestromontegometroappreci7287 Another "opinion" probably gained from watching crap such as Top Gear or heard it from mates down the pub or one of these people who kept buying other people unlooked after heaps and then blamed the cars/manufacturers. These cars were actually excellent and very reliable cars and were well liked by their owners as well. We looked after and serviced many of these cars in the garage I worked in back then and they were easy to look after and service etc and we never had any problems with them apart from rust but everything back then had problems with rust - one thing that we noticed with regard to this is how much thicker the metal was on the sills of Maestros and Montegos compared to their rivals - probably why they came out as excellent in the crash tests with only the Volvos coming out above them at the time in their class - they also came out as excellent for reliability as well causing Clarkson commenting on Top Gear that it must have been diesels they tested in his trying to slag them off because them being reliable went against the crap they always came out about BL/Austin Rover etc at that time. My aunt had three Maestros in a row under disability back then because they were the only cars in that class that she could get her fold down wheelchair into the boot apart from the Volvo at that time and they weer excellent reliable cars and she really liked them.
Way too many Yank cars!! Surely they would be able to organise an all American vehicle show?
It's a bit of everything (mine's American too), but hopefully enough British metal to still be of interest. Thanks for watching
Ged, funnily enough it's the guys with the American cars that set up and run this meeting with an open invite to all genres of vehicle...
Too.many.yank.vehicles.australia.....yank.tanks.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
