Thank you very much to the Citroen Car Club for letting us attend their rally - it was the most fun you can have with a Berlingo, lots of cake and a 2CV building competition!

About the Citroen Car Club
The Citroën Car Club was founded on the 4th February 1949 by John Beresford-Layton, whose inspiration came whilst he was peacefully fishing in a rowing boat off the South Devon coast. After discussing the idea with several friends, who were also running pre-war Tractions, an advert was placed in The Autocar.
Now, 75 years later, the current membership does not differ much from those founder members in that they appreciate the design, technology and history that have gone into their cars and the Club provides the social opportunities of regular meetings and events.

Thank you for eliminating the annoying music that most car channels insist on forcing on us. Love your channel.

@kiwidave9416 Месяц назад

I've watched quite a few different British classic car channels over the past few weeks since I bought a 1962 Rover 100 and they are all good, but your channel is definitely the one I enjoy the most. Your videos capture the essence of what makes driving a classic car so pleasurable.

@idriveaclassic Месяц назад

Aw thanks love x

@peterlee5535 Месяц назад

I just love those BXs. They look like they came straight out of a 1980s scfi movie :)

@stephenricketts7764 Месяц назад

My favourite Citroen's are the Traction Avaunte and the Citroen DS. Both are so well designed in their respective eras. That was a great story from Barry and despite all the trials they made it to their destination without much trouble. It is excellent that the Citroen Car Club has been going for 75 years, how many clubs can say that I wonder? Thank you Steph for an enjoyable video and I have to say thank you to Kev for lending you his car! 👍👍

@stephenport4768 Месяц назад

I have to say I do have a soft spot for a classic Citroën my favourites are the Ami, Traction Avant, DS, 2CV, and the SM

@idriveaclassic Месяц назад

Me too. Plus the owners are lovely which counts for so much

@stuartapps3561 Месяц назад

Hi Steph. The Rover 2000 TC was originally owned by me. It's good to see it still looking great and being shown.

@robertngreen6 Месяц назад

The 1936 Traction, owned by Charles, was amazing! Of course, from my point of view, it was great to see so many 2CVs too!! Oh, and Barry is amazing, too!

@peterriggall8409 Месяц назад

What a great video of a great day Steph. I agree on the no music bit. Your voice over is excellent. What an onerous task judging that cake competition…. 😆

@chriscansdale6389 Месяц назад

Steph, I swear you're reading my mind.... the Standard Rally, I have 2 Flying 8s and being overseas have never been able to go, then Morris Minor rally.. I just got my Series 2 Minor registered and back on the road yesterday and now, Citroen, right when I'm negotiating (literally) to buy my first 2cv after years of always wanting one.. I'm in heaven...🥰

@idriveaclassic Месяц назад

Haha no way!!!! Glad to be of service x

@stephenberry1205 Месяц назад

Salutations to UK Citroen Legend Barry Annals. Sorry to hear you have recently lost your wife. Barry helped me and Stephen Loft-Simpson pull apart my 1 year old 2CV6 Club in February 1979 to ship it home as second hand spare parts to Sydney Australia, to be reassembled by 2 car club friends in my parent's garage... Still have my 3rd 2CV6.. A 1989/90 Charleston now with a Burton Big Bore 653 cc 2CV engine plus Power Tube.

@craigyllyn Месяц назад

Couldn’t make the show. Thanks for being there and sharing. Hopefully we’ll be there next year in our C15 Romahome

@michaeltutty1540 Месяц назад

Well done, Steph! What a great video. Looks like quite the show, that's for sure. All I know about Citroen was that people in the street behind us were truly eccentric. The parents had his and hers Citroen DSs. The son, a good bit older than I, daily drove a Renault Dauphine. Keep in mind, this is going back over 50 years, back into the 60s. The Renault died an early death, but the Citroens were going strong well into the 80s. I miss driving older cars. One day, hopefully soon, another old Yank Tank will be in my driveway. Keep up the great work. Your videos are always anticipated with great enthusiasm.

@lesklower7281 Месяц назад

I do prefer no background noise l do like voice overs apart from that a great classic show including a Morris Minor 1000 van good stuff

@Stephenb033 Месяц назад

An EV conversion of a 2CV is an excellent idea due to their low weight. Perfect for congested cities and a rolling advert for your business. The costs are high, but will come down.

@davidhinkson8856 Месяц назад

75 years for the Citroen Car Club? That's excellent! And i think it's nice that they accommodate the current cars in the range as well so people can get a better appreciation of the marque through the years.

@samspade975 Месяц назад

Favourite car !, that’s easy, it’s just got to be the traction avant, beautiful car and full of history.

@johnpritchard2772 Месяц назад

Hello Steph, what a wonderful video, (I do like the filming with NO sound) to see so many varied cars of one make - I have forgotten how many different designs . models there was! The interviews were great! best wishes from Lincolnshire

@allanmollison6971 Месяц назад

Lovely show, thanks for sharing Steph, looks like something that would be up Ian's (HubNut) alley 😊👍

@idriveaclassic Месяц назад

Thanks for watching Allan!

@caw25sha Месяц назад

I was surprised that he didn't seem to be there.

@wanderingorganist Месяц назад

@@caw25sha I think he was not long back from Holland w the Perodua. I think he's been in the past, hopefully we'll see him there sometime.

@rodneyperkins1057 Месяц назад

Loved it Steph, great vlog. We had a Citroen saxo but the less said about that one the better. We loved our white Citroen xantia, amazing comfort and handling plus extremely reliable. We sold it to my wife's cousin he sold it to my brother lol so stayed in the family from 3 years old to the end of life sadly due to my brother being quoted a ridiculous sum for minor repair. Can you keep a secret? We are looking at Berlingo now and want the best cheapest price, so can you pretend they are rubbish we may get a bargain 😂. Only kidding most of the owners we have met love them dearly. Keep it up and we appreciate the time and effort you put into your channel and vlogs ❤

@theclocker7406 Месяц назад

Absolutely adore French cars, and love the classic Citroens (our wedding car was a Citroen Traction Avant). Sadly we don't have Citroens or even French cars over here in Canada, sadly - I am seriously deprived! Thank you so much for including this show, a real treat that I would not have seen otherwise, since we have nothing like this here. Love your channel Steph. Especially loved the DS's, Ami's and GAs, but I also loved seeing the 2CVs, Dyanes (designed by Panhard), BX's, CX's, Zx's & C6's (Please could you review any of these?). Glorious.

@2011robertw Месяц назад

Great video Steph. The DS is my all time favourite Citroen. I owned a couple of BXs in the 80s.

@HondaFife Месяц назад

Looking forward to the DS drive! Loving those XM’s too.

@pamholton7166 Месяц назад

Top Guy Barry aka mr Citroen .Great video Steph loved it.👍👍👍👍👍 27:11

@barrythatcher9349 Месяц назад

I just want say how respectful you were to Barry. You listened carefully and let him speak without interrupting. thank you

@jeremywentworth1833 Месяц назад

Citroen HF van-pickup looked fabulous, the old grey 2CV looked very old definitely from the 50s . The blue Morris minor van with windows looked like a shrunken hearse.

@mattpipes5106 Месяц назад

This video was pure joy! I love the mix of classic and contemporary Citroen… So many cool cars I think that most of them are my favorite… The XM’s BX’s C6’s, DS’s and Traction Avants… well… and everything else. Great video!

@douglasfur3808 Месяц назад

I didn't miss the music, prefer it that way, and the fun events at the end was sweet. (Pun not avoided.)

@caw25sha Месяц назад

I agree with the "no background music please" people but I like your theme tune. It's got a sort of 60s sitcom feel if that makes sense. The multicoloured car seems to have the same combination of colours as the VW Golf and Polo Harlequins.

@rogerdonaldsullivan1424 Месяц назад

Steph you should have your boots on for this event its so retro 😊

@AnotherCupofTea2 Месяц назад

Wonderful 😀

@craigcottingham35 Месяц назад

Wonderful 🧡🧡🙏

@michaelhalsall5684 Месяц назад

French cars - just in time for for the Paris Olympics!❤

@Koulis_ Месяц назад

Love Citroens! I had a Visa Super in the 80s and an AX 1.0 in the 90s. Thanks Steph for the video.

@kellybrickey4300 Месяц назад

Steph, I think a Citroen would suit you perfectly. You gotta' have room for your trademark hair, so, maybe 2cv. Of course a berlingo would make a great Idriveaclassic vehicle for shoots. ;-)

@paulchappell Месяц назад

Great video. The interview with Barry was excellent, then followed by the hilarious ‘French picnic’ competition - perfection!

@Vince_uk Месяц назад

Terrific Steph and the DS is still a fabulous car and ageless also.

@andyf750 Месяц назад

Great video as always Steph. A real favourite of mine is the indestructible Citroën C15 van. Would love to see you review one.

@michaeltrivett2872 Месяц назад

I loved this video very interesting and your enthusiasm for the product is infectious.

@michaelhalsall5684 Месяц назад

Thank you for NOT having background music. I'm so over "car" videos that have blaring rock music, shouted narration often by a poorly researched presenter! You speak pleasantly, and really know your subject, that is why I enjoy your weekly video presentations!❤

@graemew7001 Месяц назад

I'm sure the LNA and the Talbot Samba are near enough the same car underneath, could be wrong though. Citroen really did make a lot of beautiful cars.

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

Paint matched steelies and chrome caps. 👍 Any vehicle that can sport these is timelessly designed.🧐

@tyrannodex8472 Месяц назад

Great video many thanks for showing the festival on here :) Hope to see you there next year (maybe in a Berlingo ;) ) and will catch up with you at Rustival.

@gclsarnia Месяц назад

Love your show Steph, I've been watching for several years! How about a detailed look at that unbelievably cute RV/camper at 3:48 in this video. I kinda want one 😊

@grahambarrat2540 Месяц назад

You do a wonderful job thank you

@shroomyesc Месяц назад

No surprise to see a few C6 in the show, I dare say despite it being as new as 2005 - 2012 it's already a classic given it's very unusual Citroën quirky looks, unique interior, classic hydro suspension etc. and it's pure rarity due to the low production numbers.

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

The Traction Avant was way ahead of its time, if WWII hadn't happened the same could be said about the 2cv, which was actually prototyped prior to WWII.

@Heimrik01 Месяц назад

I believe the model of old Citroën pick up show at the mn 20 is a Rosalie.

@jimcabezola3051 Месяц назад

What a beautiful show! There isn't a Citroën that I don't admire, really. In terms of looks, I liked that DS with the Harlequin paintwork you showed at the beginning. In terms of specification....I enjoyed that CV2 EV the most.

@Ricketik65 Месяц назад

That looks like a fantastic event, Steph. Great video too. The BX is a brilliant car. I just got back today from a two week tour around France with my BX Toulouse (1.4) and the only thing missing was airconditioning, because it was really, really hot😄.

@daviemaclean61 Месяц назад

Iborrowaclassic! ;-) What a great all inclusive show. Having never owned one before, and rarely had the same brand two cars running, I'm on my third Citroen in a row, and quite possibly (finances permitting) a fourth next year. Cheers

@johnjtm1097 Месяц назад

Great video, as always. Great to see a unique car club treating models as old as 50/60/70 years with the same love and joy as a brand new model straight from the factory. By the way, I'd love to see a few Mercedes or BMWs on the channel

@drwho534 Месяц назад

So enjoy seeing around all these shows and especially thrilled to see all these Citroens, what fun! ... have been waiting to finally see focus on a DS, hopefully an episode testing one? 👍

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

The brands in the USA that came closest to Citroëns mad genius were AMC and Chrysler in the 50's through early 70's.

@petemoring67 Месяц назад

We had a whole rake of Citroens .. One of the best was a CX2400 Safari -- The Kids at school when My missus pulled up with our Menagerie of kids called it the 'Ghost-Buster' .... My wife managed to crucify 'every' panel on the car at some point, but it was 100% Reliable for the 5 years we had it .... Didn't see one at the show though ......

@gaufrid1956 Месяц назад

Maybe a Citroen Berlingo in future, Steph! Thanks again for a great video!

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

2CV owners can do whatever they want with their car, but you gotta respect the goddess. 🧐

@TheMarsypars Месяц назад

I'D LIKE TO SEE A REVEIW OF A 2007 C3 1.4I AS MANY END UP IN THE BREAKERS YARD ,AND I SEE IT GOING TO GET HARD TO GET AND WOULD BE A QUIRKY CAR TO BECOME A CLASSIC WHEN THE TIME COMES!

@clarebrookes314 Месяц назад

Great show, I can't wait to get the DS on the road, that Traction is superb, I love the cases on top. Love the electric 2CV but the vintage commercial 👌 love that. PS I have similar problems with my fleet, they all go tits up at the same time don't they! Good luck getting them back on the road!

@FRFRANKIE Месяц назад

Thanks!

@jd3552 Месяц назад

Steph, please do a show on the Citroen Traction and the H Van. Thank you!

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

The H-Van. Good honest working vehicle. Rare these days.

@hectorshouse7348 Месяц назад

Review the CX Safari please

@R-bobo Месяц назад

I drove all the way to the south of France in the early 80s in a Citroen Safaris to go grape picking, excuse the pun but it was one of the best rides I've ever had 😅

@Zeem4 Месяц назад

My favourite in this video is the Dispatch in the background at 1:04.

@19892CV Месяц назад

Fab video Steph!

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

Problem with Citroën's at least the older ones, is you have to drive them to get the full Citroën experience.

@jameswarden9136 Месяц назад

I would love to see you do a review of the first Berlingo.

@TheSimonhammond Месяц назад

I was there in 2008 with my BX, I've still got my 25 years of the BX hoodie. Didn't Mr Skinner have the yellow mk1 BX estate?

@frankfurter726 Месяц назад

Great video Steph. I had a brand new BX 1.9RD followed by a CX 2.5 DTR Turbo 2 while my wife ownded a ZX 1.9. Son has a Berlingo van. Pity that Citroen have lost their way, no more hydrolastic suspension and those dreadful wet bely engines, shame

@jeremywentworth1833 Месяц назад

I was just going to say the traction Avant was built here , Slough made all RHD cars. I should join the Club as in 3 years of trying to join the DS3 owners club I've still not managed . Periodically I try to be asked questions like what is the capital of France I maybe dim but I do know it's Paris it will constantly say I'm wrong or the server is down. I've had my 14plate DS3 over 3 years now .

@trevorwakefiel870 Месяц назад

Wonder if you can do a video of the old skoda cars and uk club and communist era skoda mb1000 1100 Estelle 105/120L to watch one day in future be great to watch such cheap basic cars in those times.

@pilot_jan Месяц назад

Please NO background music. Let’s. hear the real beautiful noise.

@idriveaclassic Месяц назад

Sadly as explained in this video and others, I have to fully mute the background because RU-vid will have me for copyright for any music playing in the background.

@stephenwestley1017 Месяц назад

Thats interesting I've always wanted to drive a 2cv but can only drive automatics id drive one around rown. Something to look at 😊

@FeathersMcGinty Месяц назад

LooooooL @ the old inconsiderate dude just smashing his self-important way through the vid on the 2C(E)V 🤣🤣

@SuperRetroville Месяц назад

Im loving these event videos mixed in with the car reviews. Fabulous idea to welcome all ages of Citroen. Its a pity we cant do this with defunct marques. Good decision to eliminate the music... Much better without.

@alixchesterfield3663 Месяц назад

Thank god no music!!!!!! xx

@alpine1600s Месяц назад

The UK is a tiny island. When you get into who made what, it turns out your cousin stamped the rear quarter panel on your MG.🤣

No Citroen SM ?.

@tbeau6663 Месяц назад

Apart from those 50 year old DS's....I can't show any enthusiasm for that brand.

@geoffreymccormack2090 Месяц назад

Thanks to hubnut and upndown and others, my xsara picasso has a bit more classic appeal

@minimaxi802 Месяц назад

Citroen Berlingo is identical to the Peugeot Partner in all but badges, older Citroens are independent from Peugeot and don't share the same engines.

@philiptidmarsh Месяц назад

My opinion on EV conversions is that as a rule a find the whole thing appalling. You are paying huge sums of money to put in technology that will be obsoltete in a much shorter time period than the engine it is replacing. However I believe Darens's 2CV are made up of mainly new parts and as such it is ok in my mind as he is not ruining existing cars.

@iain465g9 Месяц назад

Hope your asking the owners regarding your post on MOT's on all old vehicles in the Daily Express.

@idriveaclassic Месяц назад

It’s my opinion based on lived experience - many of the owners I speak to agree with me as do many of my colleagues who work in various parts of the classic car industry. I was asked for my opinion. I shared it. Nothing more, nothing less. We are all entitled to our opinion and I respect everyone’s right to theirs as long as it is expressed politely and calmly.

@Phiyedough Месяц назад

Music is such a matter for individual taste that it is safest to leave it out. I like cars from the thirties but I don't like music from the thirties.
