- August's Capesthorne Hall classic car show served up quite a variety of cars despite the stormy skies, from dusty survivors such as a patina-laden Morris Minor and Vauxhall Viva, to immaculate gems such as a 1930's Bentley, a pair of immaculate 6v VW Beetles, and a multitude of glistening Mercedes Benz saloons, M-B being the featured marque for this, day two of the August 2023 Capesthorne Hall classic car show.
Other classic cars that caught our eye in particular, and make it into this video, include a dazzling Corvette Stingray roadster, a wonderful black Mercedes-Benz 220 "Ponton" saloon, a very smart Austin A40 Somerset in grey, a red Renault 4CV, an early Volvo P1800S with a unique rear lamp conversion (undertaken in '60s Malaysia I found out, off camera), a great Mk1 Morris Mini-Minor, a pre-war Vauxhall Light Six, a fantastic 1950s Mercury station wagon, a rare Maserati motorcycle, and - somewhat newer - a very neat little Nissan Pao of the late 1980s.
The classic car show at Capesthorne Hall always turns up some interesting old cars and this time was no exception, despite the ever-present threat of dark clouds promising to dampen the fun, so a big thumbs-up to all the classic car owners who took their cars along for the day.

Thank you sir!

Nice red Morgan 4/4
I do enjoy spending my Sunday mornings walking around classic car shows with you. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
For me, the star of the video is the grey A40 Somerset.
Thank you very much! I love your coverage of these wonderful events and fabulous classic cars!!!
Wow that's very kind of you Robert, thanks!!
That magnificent building of gothic architecture is stunning too.
When I think of Audrey Hepburn and cars, I thing of a little red Autobianchi Bianchina!
Lots of fab cars - excellent video, thank you for the tour👍🏻
Liked the Lancia Fulvia. The Austin A40 Somerset brought back lots of memories. My granddad had one in the mid fifties. Beige with registration OND 850. Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks again, Richard. I love this venue at Capesthorne Hall for the setting and attendees. Too bad it was a bit soggy this time, but it didn't seem to put too much of a dent in the video coverage. I'm growing to like those wedge Princesses more, but the Consul Mark II's and Cambridges of the '60's really appeal. Thanks again.
The Metropolitan police Moggy bought back memories of my youth when I was a guest passenger in one . 😉
Say no more!! :)
Good one Rick. When you were talking about that early Mini you missed mentioning the one thing and you could see it on the floor hump.... the push button start. Not many of those early ones left anywhere in the world.
As an estate car guy, I need to look no further than the two tone Mercury estate as my No 1 take home car, 2, has to be the MG Magnette ZB, late 60s early 70s so many destroyed at Aldershot stock car stadium, I supported number 77 Foxy Dance he always drove a Magnette.
And 3, I love the Vauxhall HA with the rough patina look. I fancy owning a car looking like that.
There are other cars I would love, but that's my choice for today.
Enjoyable video, I admire your dedication Richard.
Hi 👋 Thank you for a brilliant video of cars, especially the Mercedes-Benz models. German cars are very classy. I liked the older ones from the 1950s through to the 1980s. Today's new models aren't the same.
hey old classic car that mk2 cortina was a savage i have it on one of my vids
That was a fantastic show, very well presented as usual.
Thanks again!
Favourites: #1 Mercedes 220SE 21:18, #2 Mercedes 220S Ponton(s) 27:33 29:50 and #3 Jowett Javelin 40:38 😁👍(I loved my Space Hopper in 1973!)
Loved tha A40 Somerset. Was very reliable and shouldnt have sold it. Had a Morris Six after it and loved the ride but wasnt as reliable
My favourite car here will be the Bentley T with it's original styled dashboard which was restyled May '69. The car here will still have the 6230cc engine. The 6750cc engine appeared July '70. Great video as always. Best wishes. james.
Ah righty thanks for the info!
I like the Renault 4CV six moustaches( in the front grill ) as we call it in France.
My aunt and uncle had a 220 Ponton Merc in burgundy, in 1957 Lovely car, if a little underpowered and would have benefitted with power steering at slow / parking speeds
Fabulous collection not only Mercs but many other marques. The W126 for me is pinnacle of Mercedes Benz excellence, I have ridden in then many times in Germany. When I sit behind the wheel of my W221 and gaze at the 3 pointed MB star it does me a feeling of absolute smug pleasure. I think in recent times Mercedes have taken a backwards step in terms of quality and reliability, they have become to electronics dependent. Good Video RJ
Yep the 126s are finely crafted cars indeed
Nice video 😃👍.Did you go to the malvern meet today. I watched your video from about 10 months ago I think of the Malvern meeting and went myself today to which they’re were some stunning cars.
Yep we were mooching around there today
@@oldclassiccarUK I thought you might have been at Prescott today.............
@@richardsealey3626 We hope to get down there later this month, weather permitting ...
Hello both . What a line up ! Impossible pick a favourite but there's no denying the presence of the Mercedes 220 SE , the E500 , the 420 SCC and the Ponton . However back in the day l painted a Jensen FF and when the car was finished the owners father brought along his new £90k + 420 SCC . I was shocked at the appalling paintwork .l'd seen better on a wheelbarrow . The excuse was that this was the "new" waterbase system . And as for rust issues l think Mercedes must have used the left over steel from Vauxhall in the 1970's .My paint supplier had a 6 year old Mercedes 230 saloon . I was already replacing sills ,bonnet and front wings and replacing the rear wheel arches . So l thought that Morris Mini Minor was very cheeky ! And l've just finished doing extensive rust repairs on a 1955 M.G Magnette ZA but for a '68 year old car it's in amazing conditon. And you can get all the relevant repair panels .....amazing ! That Concorde was obviously in it's early design stage and who can't forget that wonderful, evocative smell of Castrol "R" Thankyou gentlemen .
Mrs. OCC might have something to say about your passenger in the Ponton Cabrio!!
True, I normally mention Brigitte Bardot in such situations :-)
Thank you for a wonderful day out its a pity about the weather your arms must be stiff from all the camera work i hope you both got home safely .
Ha yes arms and feet make themselves very known by the end of these days out!!
12.17 Nissan Pao
A great show and lovely presentation, its very tricky to choice the car of the show Jowett Javelin closely followed by Harleys new can, what a find. Well done him. All the best Bob
Mmmm the smell of Castrol R 👃🏼
A fine smell indeed (although in this instance the smell is more like turps!)
What an amazing line up. I must be a bit of an odd ball, I have never been very keen on Mercedes Benz cars. I much prefer the English performance and luxury cars. Having said that, my pick of the day is the HA Viva, an amazing original car. My own first car was a 1969 HB Viva. Not quite as basic as the HA - it had a passenger's visor, and it took me any miles without issue.
Great video. I get so jealous of your fantastic car shows. Can you please tell me what a telelog is.
The Tel-U-Log is a small magnetic thing that attaches to the dashboard. On it you record your mileage, and the amount of fuel used, so that you can calculate your mpg!
@@oldclassiccarUK thanks for that. I have never seen one.
Not sure if you watch Lloyd Vehicle Consulting, but his latest video, Knebworth classic motor show part 10 features a Renault 4CV at 13:35 approx.
I don't but I will look out for it, thanks for the heads-up
Beautiful merc pontin in black Quality is oozing from it Unlike these electric lumps that we get nowadays I honestly can’t see future car rallies with Tesla and Hyundai kona etc trying to show off their plastic non grilled fronts 😢
I get more and more convinced that the word "classic" gets much overused.
Wellll time rolls on, more cars fall into the category thanks to their age if nothing else. I remember when I first got interested in the subject how people writing to magazines were decrying cars of the 1960s, writing them all off as boring grey porridge not worth saving.
Cannot keep calling everything a Classic. Many are called but few are chosen! Old bangers are just that - old bangers. What is next - old bicycles, old farm carts, old farmhouses, old railway trains etc. Most old things are just that -old!! Certainly fun and interesting as a hobby, but like old Prime Ministers they have to be put out to pasture for their time is up !!
I think you might be on the wrong channel then!
