- We visited the Rhondda Heritage Park, home of the former Lewis Merthyr Colliery in South Wales, for their annual classic car gathering. A superb mix of cars was displayed by the Glamorgan Classic Car Club and South Wales Classic Car Club with everything from an AC Aceca to a modified Ford S-Max and a 1929 Rolls-Royce 20/25! Visit www.rctcbc.gov... for more information about the park, and check out @misshubnut for a detailed look around the site. • Classics at Rhondda He...

As a member of a car club I agree we need fresh stock every now and then otherwise interest starts to fade. Great location to show many motorised vehicle's plus a local history tour if not interested in cars.
Sandals and no socks, my word Mr H things are looking up on the fashion stakes!
Never socks!
@@HubNut Pink shorts and the sandals the cat walk awaits.
Antipodean influence still abounds methinks! 😉😊
@@allanfoster6965 No, it's called having a wife.
Ian - your use of the large hand-held mic is bringing an even greater level of authority to your always informative presentations...!
It’s like watching the reverse of Willy Nelson’s earlier presenting with a suit and short hair...🤣🤣🤣
Ian Hubnut from the BBC reporting…….😆
What a lovely Humber Sceptre! We wouldn't mind a closer look at that!
All in all there was a relatively high preponderance of Rootes cars, which is always a pleasing thing.
Enjoying Minihubnut's interventions. More power to them.
Another great show, and another round of "which one do I want to take home?". It's the Capri 2.0GL, that wins it for me this time. I wouldn't want the V6, I'm not going to go fast. The Volvo 960 was close to getting picked though...if it had been the estate it would have won.
Absolutely beautiful cars Ian great mixture of old and new
Thanks for sharing Ian, much appreciated 😊👍
another great video has always Ian and miss hubnut and hublets and hubmutts 👍
The Hillman / Chrysler Avenger was the mini cab of my teenage years, fondly remembered (and on many Saturday nights, not remembered!)
I am glad the modern stuff is getting a mention, as you say they will be the newer generation of the car scene and the car scene does need to keep going despite the situation nowadays with ULEZ and what not. On another note, it’s nice to see majority of the cars waxed up as I can see the beading on them. Good stuff.
Some of the cleaning products have decent levels of wax in them now also if you snow foam a vehicle you can get the soap with wax in it under the arches and sills of the car.
What a great car show in such an interesting location. It was great to see the wide variety of cars that were on show & I loved seeing the Vintage Rolls Royce as the Final car to be shown.😊😊
‘And we now cross live to our car show correspondent Mr Nut’….Go the microphone! Good pickup by mini Hubnut too. That was absolutely an Australian Falcon badge on that car
Would not be a South Wales Motor Show without the chavvy modified stuff!
Enjoyed this, Ian. Great venue - have to make a pilgrimage myself 👍
Lovely Jubbly, I think that was hard to beat on there being such a variety of cars, makes a change from the majority being Morris Minors and MG's.
Ooooh. Loving the Wolsley. My mum had one. NHS201L. 😊
Your comment about pubs having tractors outside for the kids to play on brings back memories of Thorp Arch Trading Estate between Wetherby and Leeds. This had been a wartime munitions factory (complete with brick Nissen Huts separated by earth banks) which had been turned into a trading estate: there was a carpet warehouse and a furniture warehouse etc. Boring as hell for kids, so there was an adventure playground for the kids to play on while their parents went to choose a new sideboard. But it wasn't a bog standard playground. This had vehicles - real ones! There was an old fire engine, complete with ladder; there was a wooden galleon; there was even a helicopter fuselage (no main and tail rotors). I was in my element playing there.
My daughter is learning to drive and has bought herself (mature trust fund) a Peugeot 107 city bug. What an absolute hoot to drive. So far we've serviced it, had the AC regased, and put a 4 speaker stereo (sony & Pioneer) done the gear shift hack to take out the bagy-ness out of it. Its as close to an original 1000cc mini as you can get for a few quid. Have a go its 3 cylinder of madness and smiles. Good to see city bugs at a show. Great vid hubnuts.
They're great cars. Watch out for rot in the rear floor and sills though.
awesome backdrop for a car show
My grandfather and uncle used to work there! The first car I ever remember was our Hillman Avenger. Dark brown though, rather than shocking blue!
What a lovely little show. Nice Falcon kit car. A former colleague had one. It was MkV Cortina based.
Love your car show vids , cheers Ian .
Nice one Ian and Carly. A great collection of great cars. My top takeaway was the Hillman Avenger estate, I can't remember the decade that I last saw one but was probably the later 80's. It's great that more modern classics are reviewed as well.
Wow! Making two films while at the same location. A HubNut and a Miss HubNut. That smacks of planning/production meetings. Coupled with the very professional hand held mic I thought I was watching a slick large budget BBC 2 TV programme. "because HubNut" is becoming a thing of the past. Very much enjoying Hubnut and Miss HubNut. Pending forth coming nuptials will there be a channel rebranding to Mrs HubNut? She was "inspired" by a wedding dress in the Heritage park Museum.
The Vitesse parked in front of the old shunter is a fabulously retro image. I wonder if the AC was on Car SOS 🤔. I love your detailed walkabout 👍👍👍
What a brilliant show and well filmed/narrated. I don't think I have ever seen a "small" show with so many cars in that I or our family have owned 😁 The highlight for me was the Avenger Estate, that was the car I had while "courting" 😉 so many happy memories there.
Mine was a Chrysler Avenger Estate GLS IIRC it was a T reg as I can't find any pictures of it 😔
That Golf GTI brings back memories. My first two cars were Renault 5s - nothing special but they were still nice cars. After I'd been working for a few years and made a bit of money, I decided to treat myself. I saw a second-hand bright red Mark II Golf GL - effectively a GTI but with a carburettor engine that wasn't *quite* as powerful. But it still went like sh1t off a shovel. I loved that car.
Great mix of cars. Interesting to see some of the larger crowds were around the Humber Sceptre and Hillman Avenger, I once had a 1600E that exact colour in the early 90's wish I'd kept it could never afford one nowadays
You need to get a red book to go with that mic Ian. Wonderful upload and love the fact you mention we should all embrace the younger generations choice of wheels. Cars are a big part of most peoples lives Transport A to B, fashion statement, work of art , a fall in love lifetime lasting moment or a break your heart and bank balance experience. The lovely venue as well just adds to it with the excellent camera work by Carly.
I was at a lovely little countryside show yesterday over at Handbury, Worcestershire, that had a lovely small display of classic vehicles from cars to steam engines. Some great cars on display including a Austin Ambassador from the final days of that car, MG Metro and a immaculately restored Austin Mini. Unfortunately no stationery engines though.
Really enjoyed that video, amazing knowledge as ever, nice family interaction, great place
Legendary mk5 Escort xr3i rear wiper observation. Information that I never needed to know but I do now. Thank you!
Hello all Hubnut family. Enjoyed your tour around the show. Thanks for sharing
10:45 I had a Sliver 940 Wentworth, it was horrendously fast for its size.
Allegedly it went well over 130mph on the M25 once....or twice. 😊
I had a 940 Wentworth estate (also silver) & loved it. Its one flaw was the aerial which was quite long & came out of the rear roofline, so if you forgot to retract it as you drove into a multistorey it got bent to b*ggery. As did your wallet, because it cost a hefty wedge to fix . And I did forget, several times! 😢.
That design glitch aside, it was a terrific car.
I love these walk arounds. It’s been way too long since I’ve been to a show xx. I nearly died in one of those S3’s on the back roads around the nürburgring.
NIce to see you gave the Modified Mk2 Golf a mention, Mk2s of course are very popular so people for that reason gloss over them in these sorts of videos. We still want to see them as they are on of the most popular hatch ever made.
Oh, the 106 Rallye is just beautiful. On my lottery list for sure.
Hello ian great video Some of these cars remind me of my childhood in new zealand my grandfather had an old maxi in his garden that us kids used as a play car lol and my uncle had hunters and valiant vips , ford zephyrs vauxhall vivas Bedford vans I know there not in this video but it just made me think of them ty.
Love the big blue Volvo. My favourite interior colour too 😍
Love the content.
Ford Escort Mk.3 and 4 cabriolets were converted from the three door estate body.
The Ford Escort Mk.5 RS2000 had twin bonnet bulges. One was necessary to clear the 2.0-litre, twin cam engine, and the other was added for symmetry.
The shovel nose on the Escort Mk.2 RS2000 was mainly a marketing thing. The competition department didn't use it as it was bulkier, more vulnerable and made it harder to mount additional lights.
Brilliant thanks must visit that area
Never seen a Hillman Avenger estate before, cool as heck.
There was one in south Manchester being used for shopping at Lidl etc in the last couple of years. Not seen it recently though.
Another interesting show walk around, with a very interesting selection of cars. Thanks for stopping by the 924s. Of particular interest to me as I own one & what I consider a 70's design that has aged well.
Must say that the microphone works well as well 👍
Great show. My uncle had a Wolesely just like that but in maroon. Lovely inside. Great cars. Super. Love that RR at the end. What a beauty.
My grandpa had a couple of Pininfarina Wolsleys: a 15/60 and then a 16/60. As a boy I loved to see it at night with the radiator badge lit up. He then got an automatic ADO 16 Wolseley which seemed a bit tame after the much bigger 16/60. He hated it: he sold it after only a few months and got a Triumph Dolomite.
Absaloutly brilliant video Ian miss hubnut mini hubnut as well ❤👍 what a lovely part of the world there is a similar car show in astley near Manchester brilliant
Great selection of cars. The Austin 1300 is identical to my first car 43 years ago.
The machines @5.30 were Eimco's , they were electric/hydraulic used in underground headings to remove rubble after the heading was blasted they used trailing cables. You can see the big electric motor on the side. As a fitter I worked on them when they were damaged.
I was going to point out the huge electric motor!
That looks a great place. Good to see the moderns in with the classics. That Rover P4 110 looked fantastic.
The JBA Falcon was an '80s kit-car that used it's own purpose designed chassis and most used Ford donors iirc.
My younger brother used to have a Mark 1 Toyota MR2 in white. He liked it a lot.
I had one as a company car when I worked for a company in Llandrindod Wells also in Wales.
I think that 2 seeter jba was a late Falcon.I owned a early falcon which i rebuilt a few yeers ago.Had to sell it unfortunatly due to circumstances at the time.Used mostlyCortina mk 4 1.6 pinto engine.
Nice 😀
Another great video really good now well done 🤛🤛
Nice event and location 😀👌🏼
Two of my cousins in Italy had Peugeot 106 Rallys. One of them managed to roll his of the twisty roads around the home village... Sporty, but perhaps not ideal everyday transportation. I'm more interested in the Volvo 740. I owned two of these, a GLE and a Turbo. The GLE had the small quad headlights in common with all North American Volvos at the time, but the Turbo was interesting. It appeared to have been originally purchased in Italy and as such it had the spring mounted stay on the inside of the windshield common to all cars in Italy and in which you slot the car's registration to make it visible from the outside. Inside the windshield there was a sticker for an Italian insurance company. The rest of the car, however, seemed to be standard Canadian spec, including the 2.3L engine in lieu of the 2.0L normally used on Italian 740s, and the extra-large windshield washer reservoir most manufacturers fit on cars destined for our market. The headlights were the large rectangular European versions which by then had also been adopted on Canadian models.
So annoyed I missed this show, I was only a few miles away at my parent's house fighting the fuel filter on my daily. It decided to split in half when removing the connectors but not let the connectors release 🤣
Hoping to make a few shows this summer, only managed the Social at the Classic Car Hub so far and had to borrow a car to get to that!
Jba factory was up in Wigan ,and was featured in a TV show years ago
11:20 The Ford is sporting a 'Classic' badge from a Rambler model of said designation and hails from the early '60s.
I would like to have seen more of the M38A1 Jeep ..It looked like it was pretty interesting compared to some of the others covered
Fabulous vid, Ian… brilliant location. Great what they’ve done to the old colliery. I gave a little whoop when you Pitchood on the Consul 315 stars ✨ ! Haven’t seen one in ages .. there’s one or two max, here in Ireland… most likely UK imports. I’d be surprised if an original Irish one survived. There’s at least one Capri (Consul) here that’s an original Irish reg.
Cool video guys. I’ll watch the other video in a minute now. 😉🤣👍🏴 Cymru am byth X
Ian I miss colourful interiors myself, new cars are so boring with the all black interiors, and that beautiful blue Avenger 1500DL that's what I had but mine was in custard yellow with a black vinyl roof.👍
XR3i rear wiper, who knew? Every day a schoolday, thanks.
I loved both videos. I think that Carly needs a Ms Hubnut or similar mic muff.
That Avenger would be a good candidate for a HubNut test drive? Hint Hint Hint (if the owner sees this) :) My first car was a Avenger and I loved it
JBA Motors are based in my home county of Norfolk, not too far away from Lotus.
My favourite car there is the 1976/77 Ford Capri II GL. I also like the blue Hillman Avenger.
I don't think that Avenger estates ever came with a rear wiper but I may be wrong. 🤔
Rear wiper was available as an option.
Definitely need a Hubnut old Volvo estate in the future. Maybe when you get bored of Bella.
There you have it boyo blankety blank in the Rhonda hubnut style 🤓😎
In this video, Ian goes full car nerd with wipers and headlamp facts and figures
I agree, noting the different engine for 4 & 5 speed on the Volvo was very impressive...!
@@jeffreynolds3848 that's Ian's superpower 👍
It isn't much use at parties...
For some reason I thought ti was about the period of cars when Honda and Rover made a deal to share cars... Haha
Oh well enjoyed the video!
Yes, another Welsh car, like the Renault Megan!
AY UP MR HUBNUT
For some reason, the rear of that 924 reminds me of the AMG Pacer. 🤷♂
SEJ 535M dates from 1973, is still on the road, and currently taxed. I wonder if that's the oldest Lloyds of Aberaeron Volvo?
that International tractor, yes more modern then the Ford, but still going for 50 years old..
My old stomping ground, where I used to stomp.
Rolls royces are always a good car to finish on. I personally don't watch those type of films though.😉😂
@Hubnut will you be at Oulton Park next week? Its a French day including racing 2cv’s
Sadly not. Will probably be at Gaydon for the BMC/BL rally the following day.
Wasn't the Porsche 924 basically an Audi with Porsche badges? A lot of it came from various Audi parts bins.
In good nick, Escorts like that RS2000 are worth a mint in Australia.
If that JBA Falcon had been built in Australia based on Betty's cousin, it would have had a 4.0 litre straight six or a 4.9 litre V8.
Yes, I believe even the gearbox is a front-wheel drive Audi one, moved to the rear.
Already fallen in love with the Citroen C1.
Lovely little 106 Rallye.
Wait you know someone who has a imp and has a SM?? I know someone like that too... He's a Aussie ford specialist if you need help with Betty ;)
What's your thoughts on the rubber bumper MGB's that change to Chrome?
Nice to see some modified cars and also the Saxo, Corsa and Escort mark 4 and yes to that XR3i, and I am the same with you I never noticed the rear wiper was different to a standard escort and my dad had 3 of these escorts!
A brilliant look around this little car show.
I so want that C1 as well!
@@misshubnutwill add C1 to my Berlingo and 106 wishlist...
In 1969 while we were on the school run in Slough, our 1966 Triumph 2000 Estate was rear ended in a hit and run by a man driving a Ford Consul Classic coupe. My mum told my sister and I to memorize the number plate, and I still remember it 54 years later. Does anyone know the whereabouts of 699 NMT?
Shame it was rear ended and not hit at the front as I guess parts for the rare estate would have been hard to find.
@@peterriggall8409 The car was repaired and we kept it for another three years. It was then stolen in 1970 and used as a getaway car for a robbery before being recovered two weeks later. Remember, it was only three years old when this happened. Registration was FOX481D. I'm sure it's long gone now.
13:34 - what is this number plate font called? They used to be fairly common in-period. Same with pressed metal ones on BT vans. Obviously passed MOTs back then but do they conform now?
Serck font. Still entirely legal.
I literally live 5 mins away! When was this? Annoyed that I missed it.
It was last Saturday. It is an annual thing.
Just looking at the Aceca. Was there any reason for Shelby choosing the Ace rather than the Aceca? Was it lightness, or the category he hoped to race in? Aceca seems a more ' obvious ' choice?
I think cars had to be open for the classes they were racing in at the time. Could be wrong. The Group 44 E Type was an open car as I recall.
Plenty ex-coal mines round where I live, though most of them have been utterly flattened by the council and pretending they never existed, even the most nearby one is the local council depot and "recycling centre" (aka the tip)... :P
What, no Honddas? (sorry) . Anyhow, I bought, new, a 1988 740GL which had a 5 speed behind the 2.3.
Interesting. I wonder why some had manual overdrive then?
@@HubNut I think the earlier ones did have the 4 speed plus overdrive. A lot of 240s did. I was a bit surprised myself, at the time.
Classic schoolboy error @11:16, Mr HubNut - there was no such thing as a Ford Classic Capri - it is a Consul Capri. Notwithstanding, there's no-one I know of with a wider breadth of knowledge when it comes to old cars, than yourself! 👍🏻
I get that wrong every time!
@@HubNut I can never get my brain around Ford's use of "Consul" to describe variants of its other models. I believe there was a Consul Classic, a Consul Capri - and of course Regan and Carter's NHK 295M in The Sweeney was strictly a Consul though it looked just like a Granada (with which it is often confused).
Seems to be some issues with video quality for me with this, and only this vid...
No-one else has reported this. Can you try reloading it?
@@HubNut Seems to be ok now. Might be an issue with site mirroring, according to someone who knows more than I do about this stuff. At least I can now watch in HD instead of 240p!
Is it too early for the "I think he broke it", comments
What's the history of the Wolseley and Austin as they are virtually the same car?
Pure badge-engineering. The ADO16 was available as an Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas. The latter were more plush, the MG and Riley a bit more sporty. All under the British Motor Corporation.
@@HubNut - later = latter...?
@@HubNut - more importantly, the extent to which BL changed the front and rear metalwork of ADO16 was impressive compared with what then become badge (only!) engineering...
@@HubNut
…No wonder they went bust….
Why sell one model when you can sell six…😖… A great video old fellow…👍
@@HubNut They were distinguished as well by different dashboards: some (Morris?) had a long rectangular speedo-cum-fuel/water-gauges, with a ribbon speedo; others (Austin, MG, Riley, Wolseley, VdP?) had separate circular gauges. And the dashboard was beautifully polished wood on some versions.
I suppose badge engineering was just an extreme form of the different trim levels L, DL, GL, GT etc offered on (for example) the Ford Escort.
2nd
Rolls Royce tarnished their name when they started using plastic on their bumpers.
Still saying Plah after someone from the VdP owners club(?) told you it's pronounced Plass?
Yes. Plah is how the company itself said it in the 1970s.
@@HubNutWell, they were wrong !! 😆. There’s a vid somewhere on here that features Clips from old Triumph factory film .. one of the senior Triumph guys talked about Mitchellotti … nobody seemed to have told him it was pronounced with a K sound - like Chianti . So there!
It really needs to be said that boxy bricky 70s 80s 90s Volvos are not classics and never will be…. they are just solid survivors owned by careful old people and taken over by non-enthusiastic lazy unimaginative people.
Sorry…
No, that doesn't need to be said at all.
@@HubNut 👏👏😆👍🏻
