You are a breath of fresh air to the classic car reporting. you are never rude about peoples pride and joy. You seem to realise different people have different Ideas of what is good or not. well done to you. You should review an Austin A40 Farina. Basically a more sophisticated and refined Morris Minor.
What a fantastic show Steph! Thank you for putting this together. All the interviews with attendees coupled with the different categories on display were absolutely splendid. Definitely on my bucket list of things to do and see.
My first car I restored was a Morris Minor. Cost me $600NZD. I really regret selling it! Awesome channel by the way! This and Hubnut are my favourite British motoring channels.
awwww ace steph. thank you for that.i love every bloody video u post. really liked the morries from 13.00 min onwards, i think, the cream, the black, the traveller. they look like the way morris minors would look if still being built today. choice!!!!!!!! new zealand here.
i saw a comment on facebook about you being a credit to the club and i totally agree, your just so good with knowledge and how you present yourself as well i wish i knew as much about cars as you seem to do.
Hey Matt! That’s so sweet of you to say that - thank you. I’ve learnt a lot from friends, books, the internet. I’m also quite good at retaining facts which helps 😂😂😂 Thanks again for your lovely feedback 🥰
Morris Minors have a very special place in my life, having immigrated to Canada 🇨🇦 from Scotland 🇬🇧 at the age of 4 in 1956, dad's first car here was a used Morris Minor 1000 'saloon' in black for our first few years before he moved on to his first American made car, a Pontiac. Have only ever seen the odd Minor at a British themed Car Show here since. In '64 we then moved to California driving all the way in dad's '63 Morris Oxford Traveller wagon ( 'Nellie Bell' ) and then they decided to move back to Canada driving all the way back again in 1965 without a hitch! Thanks for the memories!!
Oh wow looks like a great event. I love the popping sound of a moggy when engine is on over run. When me and my friends were teenagers one of them had a traveller. We teased him about the green moss in the rear window channels calling them window boxes. I planted cress seeds in the channels it was so funny seeing all this cress growing. Good times 😀
Nice vid,, I was at the show last year and this year too,,,saw you guys filming on this visit,,,nicely edited and put together,,, I have been to a few car shows and can honestly say the Morris folk seem the friendliest out there,,,the show was so we'll put together but next year hope that tannoy is tamed,,,the food was great that Pie stand was the biz and the constant flow of ice cream,,,,,Thanx for a great vid,,,wishing each and all well,,
I have recently subscribed to your channel and it’s nice to see young people interested in cars from my younger years sadly I never owned a Morris minor l did own the compition a Austin a 30 it would be nice to see more British cars from this era
Steph 28th September Kilbroney Vintage show is on in northern ireland in Rostrevor Co Down. Around 2000 classics, was rescheduled due to bad weather in June but an absolutely superb show in a spectacular setting ( Kilbroney forest park) , Ireland north and south has some serious machinery so would be well worth a trip over ( more than a few clubs make the journey) . Just a heads up on a fantastic day out!
I had a 1933 Morris minor which had an overhead camshaft engine. I had a 1958 smoke grey traveller which I bought from a Birds Eye frozen pea representative in Norfolk. The Birds Eye pea factory was at Lowestoft in Suffolk.
Interesting stories , I bought my 1948 Studebaker in 1975 when I was age 27 . Restored it in a little over a year , all except for the high gloss paint job ,done in a friends shop .Studebaker Kary NH USA 1-08-20
Nice meeting ! I live in the west of Germany and i hope , that i will come to the national rally too . I have a green Traveller . It' s a wonderful car 😍
Steph I used to love driving Minor estates in Germany in the 70's....Yes In Germany on the Autobahns and they held their own. Some have been preserved on the continent.
Another interesting variant of the Moggy Thou is the convertible - some were factory made, some converted (well) others not-so-well. There's companies which can fix all your Minor woes (see what I did there?) so even if you're unlucky enough to have a badly bodged example you can get it put right - who doesn't love 'em?
Hahaha yes! I’ve used minor garages exclusively for years aside from help from boyfriend and friends. I use little garage classics for the metro because they built her and I don’t like to take her elsewhere because their work is insanely good.
Steph I don't know if you know, but there used to be a company that would upgrade you Minor.....with Marina engines/gearbox front suspension and rear axles. They would keep up with modern traffic with no problems at all.
Thank you, I may turn up at one if I get this moggie of mine sorted out! Otherwise I may end up just turning up in Jane, my A35, oh, I think you’d like her incidentally.
@@idriveaclassic oh I hope that happens, I would love to know what they are like to drive, My Dad had an A35 before I was born so it would great to know what he felt like driving it.
Hey guys!!! So I have some exciting news which I was going to keep a secret (but I’m rubbish at secret keeping...) I have sorted an A35. The car recording takes place next week so the review will go live dead soon. Thanks again for all being so positive and lovely. It really boosts my motivation for the channel and to keep producing content ❤️❤️❤️
I own a 1949 lowlight Morris minor in New Zealand. Its been off the road for many years. I'm currently redoing the brakes on it. I've just uploaded some videos of it onto my youtube channel. I'll post a video of it running soon.
HELP REQUIRED. In the mid 70s I owned FKK595D a two door, smoke grey Morris Minor and travelled 100,000 miles in her. I sold her in 1982 when changing jobs and moving to a different part of the UK. Does anyone know where she might be found?
I'm from Philippines, if you have a car that you don't like anymore just donate it to me, to have a car like that here in the Philippines is fulfilling...
It's funny you name your cars with human names,they're cars,not people, I don't get it.one of my aunt's had a 1953 Morris minor in Portugal, she crashed it,because her brakes failed, also these cars tend to rust.

It is amazing to be fair. Would recommend it to anyone!
Well presented video. My two favourite moments were Alberts Mongolian Adventure and the lovely story behind "Surprise Surprise".
Great presentation style and really enjoyable - made me smile inside and out.
Awwwwwww thank you!!!!
Great vid Steph, really enjoying these. 😀😀
Thanks Tony!
Love this Steph, well done 👍
Aw thank you x

@@idriveaclassic i suck at retaining information and i have the attention span of a fruit fly.
I think most people do. I’m just bizarre. Hahah!!!

lovely thank you

Thank you Dennis 😊😊😊
Such a classic! I have a massive request, I would love to see you review older versions of BMWs the 80s and 90s. I would love to see that :)
Hi lovely. It’s dependent on what people offer! If I get a BMW offer I’ll certainly do it.
lovely to see my mum featured! loved the video sad i wasn’t there! :)
You were so missed xxxxx

Great cars well ahead of the time very popular car just inherited my grandfather's moggie convertible in great shape roll on moggies
GREAT video.....Always wanted to drive a Minor as a Dutchman.
Love them .
Yes they are brilliant! We do have Dutch owners in the club. You should get one ☺️
That would be Awsome .
Super coverage of the National rally, thank you. (It was nice to see Michael with Lucy. What a coincidence my Morris is Lucy too.)
Thanks again Steph.
Thanks Mike! Did you attend? I missed so many people because I was filming stuff. Such a shame!
@@idriveaclassic Hi Steph, unfortunately I didn't make it this year but I did attend a lovely local event with Lucy.
Aww doesn’t matter. There’s always next year 😊
I had a 1933 Morris minor which had an overhead camshaft engine.
I had a 1958 smoke grey traveller which I bought from a Birds Eye frozen pea representative in Norfolk.

Great video,i was at this rally.
Magic 😊 🤙
Out of all the classic I'd love to own.....the 2 door minor saloon would do me
Steph I used to love driving Minor estates in Germany in the 70's....Yes In Germany on the Autobahns and they held their own. Some have been preserved on the continent.
Yes we always see morris minors on the continent 🥰🥰🥰
@@idriveaclassic LHD estates might be leftovers from BAOR we had many of them in Germany, Holland and Belgium.

Aw bless you. I seem to be doing just fine on the bog standard 1098 😍😍😍
My favourite car is a Morris minor 1000 4 door from 1952
Hopefully this will be on next year. Will it be on in the same place do you know. 190th liker by the way
Erm as far as I’m aware it’s on next year. Sadly cancelled this year x
My dad has just bought a Morris Minor
Thank you, I may turn up at one if I get this moggie of mine sorted out! Otherwise I may end up just turning up in Jane, my A35, oh, I think you’d like her incidentally.
I’m keen on reviewing that A35 as it happens 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As I said in my video, I took my metro this year. No shame in bringing a different car
That I know, some years back I took my Triumph 13/60 to an A35 national!
@@idriveaclassic oh I hope that happens, I would love to know what they are like to drive, My Dad had an A35 before I was born so it would great to know what he felt like driving it.

idriveaclassic ooooo. Look forward to it! You should love it! Well I hope you do!
Great video but where were the low lights? Greetings from Australia
Hey Kenny, lowlights are pretty rare over here I’m afraid! We aren’t blessed with your amazing weather 😭 xx
idriveaclassic Sad. They definitely my favourite minor.

Hi lovely it looks like it might be gone. Untaxed since 1987.
@@idriveaclassic l live in hope that it's stuck in an old garage somewhere.
Give you a quid if you replace 'guys' urgh with chaps in the next video. x
Troll. Xxx
I'm from the Manchester branch and
Where's your hockey sticks?
14:30 i see that black country flag in the background! haha
not one low light seen sad

Too new for me chap

Awkward
