If you love the odd and the unusual, then you're really going to enjoy this one. A classic car show full of tiny motor cars, where 2CVs and Reliants are made to look enormous!
This video contains road runs as well as the main show day, with cars including Bond Bug and Minicar, Berkeley, BMW Isetta, Heinkel/Trojan, Messerschmitt, Scootacar, Autobianchi, Fiat 500, an AC Petite, a PAIR of Invacars, Trabant, Honda N600 and Beat, Lloyd Alexander, Peel P50 and Trident and the public unveiling of the Michelotti PAC - a 1984 concept based on Daihatsu Cuore running gear.
Huge thanks to the show organisers. It was a superb weekend. There will be a follow-up video about TWC the Invacar's weekend.

The micro car community. It only has a small following. I thank you.

@Dominik Alfred And prey tell what did you find?

@kimkiriniki9433 4 года назад

The metallic blue Jaguar 420 caught my eye..my Father bought one new in 1969, one of the most exciting days of my life!

@barnstormer59 4 года назад

Lovely video, such memories. My first "car" was a Heinkel Bubble. I bought it in 1965 ( I'm that old ). I drove it on a Provisional licence with "L" plates as it was deemed a motorcycle and sidecar. Things were a little easier back then. You don't know your born until you've pushed a Heinkel to nearly 70 mph down a steep hill and lived to tell the tell. 😉

Im loving the tracking/running shots. the offroading Isetta was a superb piece of footage!

@josepelotudogomezcredulo6993 4 года назад

Three wheel Isettas have the same issue as 2 CVs on gravel hill climbs ,the lack of traction! haha. Once I had to climb a hill backwards in a Visa Club.And a wet grass hill in a Ami-8 was hell in Earth!.

As the song goes, spread a little happiness. With micro cars, the vibe is always joyful.

Although we were fortunate enough to be at the rally on Sunday, it's great to see the footage of these amazing little cars in Wells, Cheddar and at the Haynes Motor Museum. It was nice to meet you on Sunday and as you said everyone was friendly and willing to chat about their cars. Not only did our grandson have his photograph taken with yourself and TWC (Thank you for that) but he also given the opportunity to sit in the driving seat of an Isetta. His favourite car at the rally was the P registered 2CV, he told me that I should buy a 2CV. So perhaps he is a young HubNut in the making or maybe he is just a petrolhead like myself, either way, it was an enjoyable day.

@phillipjones3439 4 года назад

I love these little micro cars. The Heinkel takes me back to the summers of the mid 60's when my Grandma and Granddad came to visit us. He had two of them in succession but in 1968 he went up in the world and purchased a Reliant Regal AND901B. Funny the things you remember!

Had a 1964 Trojan for a while and always regret selling it. I agree Ian, the Micro-car people are a lovely bunch. I managed to attend one of the brilliant rallys at Chatsworth House, many moons ago.

@nickbaker2529 4 года назад

Another lovely video, thankyou Ian. Nice to see the Bonds as they were produced round't'corner from my house... father-in-law had one as a garden ornament at one point, when they were of zero value. Also quite partial to the beige Reliant Rebel... there's one of those lurking the other side of my garden fence that my neighbour might one day get around to bike-engine-ing.

Microcar owners the world over seem to be the friendliest folks!

Wonderful video Ian! You parked outside what was my old school in Glastonbury, now a retirement home I believe! Good to see you too and I saw myself in the video a few times - an honour to be in and amongst all those fantastic little cars and I've totally fallen on love with micro cars! I loved the Scootercar, never seen one before and was totally bowled over by it! Loved seeing them all at the Haynes Museum! Had a wonderful day there and my American friends who turned up thought they were fantastic! A wonderful sight! I get the impression you like my local area. Do come back!

Only 14 minutes into this video but... those micro cars look like too much fun! Also, Somerset, my favourite county, aside from Norfolk, spent many holidays there now, well, three! All good times though, Dunster is a must place to visit, you will not find a finer place in Britain! Apart from the village of Castle Acre, in Norfolk, obviously =) Seriously though, really enjoying this video so far, its on pause while i type this as i don't wish to miss the micro car shenanigans, I am tempted to wear my headphones to hear those engines properly as they sound great on my tinny laptop speakers.

Those Bond bugs took me back. I traded a Vespa 180 in for a 700ES. I could get it onto two wheels on a tight corner, that always made the passenger laugh...not! Loved it , happy days.

@millomweb 4 года назад

An amazing display of splendiddity. A great video from you, Ian and many amazing machines. If the Sinclair C5 was that size and had a decent power pack in it (IC or electric) It would have likely been a success. I'm somewhat bemused that 'mini' cars aren't a thing nowadays as for many jobs they'd be ideal.

@SPEEDTER601 4 года назад

I met some of these guys last year. I started my holiday in England near Headcorn on Schoolhouse Farmcampsite where there was an other microcar meet. On that campsite was a microcar museum too. Lovely place , Lovely people My mate brought his Trabant 601 and I always bring my microcaravan an Eriba Puck. Our German friends brought their Trabant 600 estate towing a micro caravan from Germany!

Lovely to see a MkC Bond Mini, my first car , bought when I was 16 , had to do a rebuild and change the engine to get it roadworthy. Cost me £25 without an engine, so long ago when Bonds were still in production!

@gosportjamie 4 года назад

What a wonderful assortment of very, very different answers to the same question. I remember the Pac being unveiled, just about everyone at the time thought it was a fantastic idea and sure to go into production. Apparently the manufacturers didn't agree. I love the delightfully scruffy NSU Prinz, you really don't often see cars like that at shows but there's something very appealing about a car that clearly hasn't been restored to better than new condition and is clearly still in regular use, just as a car should be...

@cockle0979 3 года назад

Brilliant video! A Southend registered Invacar and of course, a BMW 700, the very car which both reversed BMW's losses and improved their fortunes prior to the launch of their company saving New Class series. The rest of course, is history...

@roberts6035 4 года назад

I know HubNut is about cars but the Wells cathedral looks very impressive ! Great vid.

How brilliant. So many futuristic designs and wonderful shapes. I dream of owning a BMW 700. Surprisingly few Goggos though. The surprise micro car is gorgeous too. Lovely things. Cheers.

@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Год назад

Back in the 1960s, these cars were still being used as daily drivers and spare parts and service were readily available. The most common sights were Isettas and Heinkel-Trojans with the occasional Bond Minicar, Messerschmitt or Berkeley. The others cars were rarely, if ever, seen. By the 1970s, few were left on the road and they started to become treasured collector's items.

@Roger.Coleman1949 4 года назад

Brilliantly entertaining review again Ian, great photography.The purple Scootacar certainly gets about and has been driven all the way to Belgium to attend a rally and is regularly seen everywhere.The very pleasant owner and his partner in the yellow/black 1933 Austin 7 RP saloon certainly use them as if they were current models which is wonderful to see and distance does not faze them .The Scootacar was obtained as a result of an unpaid debt for repairs to a Marina I think years ago !.Plan to go to the Festival of the Unexceptional next year and hope to see you there .

I just love those micro cars. You missed filming the lovely little fiat 126 we caught a glimpse of as you were doing your outro haha, it looked really nice, and quite rare these days. That Pac concept micro car was really cool, it did look like it had mk2 fiesta fron lights and indicators though, but still cute as hell, the rear of it was really nice, and the hinges and instrument panel gave it a little touch of class. I would happily own and daily drive it without a problem if it was produced, what a shame it isn't hey.
