British classic Cars.

 great nostalgic classic car auction near Pickering Yorkshire. On TV 'Classic Cars and Bangers '

sorry for the wrong TV info, should read 'Bangers and Cash ' on Yesterday Thursdays 8 to 9pm.

It’s Matthewmans at Thornton Le Dale. Their museum is an absolute gem, worth a visit if in the area.

yes Matthewsons , Ive been there too definitely worth a visit. 

Seeing as this thread as been revived, would it be a good opportunity to share pictures and stories of what older vehicles some of us still have or use be it  a hobby or otherwise. Not just limited to cars, it could be Motorcycles, Motorhomes or Caravans.  

I know at least one member on here has a MGB, I have a 73 Triumph Stag. My story is, as a 17 year old apprentice I worked on one and always said I would own one one day. Once I got a few things out the way like buying houses and bringing up children. I bought a car to restore in 2009. Here's a picture of my efforts.  What do you have and what is the story behind it. 

I started the restoration of a 1971 herald about 12/13 years ago but had to give up due to house move (new house had no garage).On retirement a couple of years ago and moving (again) I was offered a frogeye at a very reasonable price.(unfortunately the offerers family objected to the sale of their "inheritance" and it was not to be!So I content myself with collecting 1/64 scale models of cars that I have owned!(1938 austin 10 cambridge onward.Some I have had to build from kits,some I have had to respray to the correct colour and some cost a lot of money (1955 phase 2 vanguard in grey).Some are escaping me.....Senator 24 valve,herald 1200 estate,mk 1 trooper,mk2 trooper etc.My younger brother purchased a GT6 for his retirement present,but after it was "rear ended" a couple of years ago has shown it to be a "can of worms"when trying to repair it as this has shown up lots of bodges in it,s previous restoration,so be aware that a restored vehicle might not be what it seems!!!

I saw a rather nice pale yellow E type being trailered along the A16 near Ghent a couple of days ago.

Last one this week, Bangers and Cash. A real interesting series especially for the classic car fan. Hope it returns.

Yes, so do I. it makes a change to have a different kind of program based on cars and motoring.  I especially liked the episode when they showed you the family owned pub with a serve yourself and leave the money for it when you leave.

I can see that working where I live............  Not........

Great little cars to drive, but sadly flawed - bag of concrete in the front improved handling. It seemed that my mate and I had to change the head gasket on his 1964 imp on a monthly basis. That said, engine removal was a piece of cake and weighed very little - we used to remove it using a trolley made from a couple of roller skates. Brings back lots of fond memories. Would love to own or drive one again.
