NEC Practical Classics Restoration Show 2024 

Thanks for taking the time to look at and talk about my Uno Turbo! It was nice to see it dug out from the garage and in the open for people to look at

Many thanks to all those owners I chatted with yesterday, a great show again!

What a fantastic show. Thanks for featuring my Escort Van, it really was well received by the public, many with memories of previously owning one. Congratulations to everyone who entered the pride of ownership competition and well deserved to the winners and runners up. Steve ( Ford Escort Van)

What a great show and some fantastic cars really enjoyed your video and interviews.

What a great selection. Love that big red Chrysler.

The escort van mini metro and golf looked mint

Great video, thanks! Mine is the Red Yugo Sana - and yes, the styling certainly is similar to the ZX of the same era! Shame I wasn't around when you filmed, would have probably bored you for some time talking about it!

Great start to the show Simon. I think the rear quarters of that Yugo definitely have a strong hint of Citroen ZX to it. Fascinating story about that.Opel Monza. Never occurred to me that a scrappage scheme car could end up the subject of a battle with the DVLA over a logbook. The attention to detail on that Toyota Camper is superb, love the period correct looking CRT TV. The Y10 is indeed rare, saw one at FOTU last year (or possibly the year before) and it was the first in a while. When I was with the ATC in the 90's one of the officers had an FSO. It was somewhat crude and had a gear stick that stuck out of the lower centre dash at a peculiar angle. I dare say like the Lada it was probably one of the better eastern block cars. That 190 looks stunning and is a credit to its young owner I remember those Mk6 escort vans well as my dad worked for Royal Mail and they had loads of them, non as nice as this one though. My dad owned a W reg base model mini metro with the recessed head lamps though it was painted a red/orange colour rather than green.

Great cheers 👍🏆

Great review. Cheers Bob

This is amazing.

superb video.

I like how you talk about every car with so much enthusiasm. Too many people stick to one brand of car or only concentrate there attention to the more expensive cars and brush of the rest which I find very boring. So with that said I enjoyed your video and look forward to more future videos.

It’s still about the golf for me

The reason the BMW isetta is a UK car and LHD is because the engine is fitted on the right hand side of the car with the driver's weight designed to counter balance the engine The UK was the only market to have the isetta redesigned to be a 3 wheeler, in all other markets it was a 4 wheeler - it had to have 3 wheels to be driven on a motorbike licence and tax class Originally British versions were built in RHD and they rolled over really easily, they actually fitted a large weight on the left hand side to try and balance it out So in the end they just built LHD models for the UK

The Renault 10 didn’t make it home apparently! The Sapporo was rare new but was stunning to look at in the show. The Rover colour changing were just the best colour ever!

A time when you could tell different car brands

Hi if any one is there today the is history of HUSTLER on the Barn Findis in the passenger window if they would like to post a picture of it?

Love it😂

3:25 that's definitely LHD, not RHD

The stand out of this show is the 1978 Toyota Hiace been the most common van in Australia and this Hiace van has original paint engine interior why its a Toyota also that Chrysler 180 in Australia were the Chrysler Centura haven't seen one in many years but l see many Toyota Hiaces new 10 20 even 30 years old still going and in N.S.W passing there yearly rego check

wasn't much about restoration just a classic car show

Road Fund Licence ? Oh, you mean pollution tax !
