The first Combermere car gathering of 2026 will be Sunday 15th Feb. Tonight's upload winds the clock back a few months and gives you an idea of what might turn up. We took the Herald and the Buick, while dad met us there in his MGB. A great many fine cars turned up, look out for the Miura accompanied by some onboard clips!

Plenty to like in the upcoming Brightwells auction, I spent yesterday morning in Herefordshire checking out the latest offerings.

Hi, ok today's new video is out where we point the Herald's rakish lines in the direction of a Cheshire watering hole and visit their regular(ish) classic & enthusiast car meet. The free coffee and bacon sarnie was much appreciated as always!

Last Sunday was a damp and breezy one, despite that we headed over to Combermere for their first meeting of 2026. Quite a few oldies turned up despite the forecast.

In this weekend's upload I'm at Stoneleigh Park for the MG & Triumph Spares Day & Show. It was much larger than I thought it'd be, especially as a one-day event, lots to see.

A short one today, as I check out the auction of a rare Riley Pathfinder that's been parked up - seemingly dry stored - since the early 1960s.

It was Morris Minor Day when we visited the Museum of Transport in Manchester, so lots of Minors in addition to rows of classic buses etc.

After a bit of a "red eye" editing session, yesterday's visit to the huge restoration show at the NEC final went live a few minutes ago.

There are quite a few interesting and early cars heading to auction at Brightwells in a few days' time, yesterday I went to take a look ...

Some absolute gems in that line up, Rick.

Truth be told many of those cars will probably have a sad story to tell...

The Sunbeam 90 saloon (as you rightly note the Talbot name has been dropped) would be my choice. With only 33,800 miles from new it needs to be treasured.

Agreed lots of tempters in this auction.

Today's upload is of the annual Tour of Cheshire, specifically the Oulton Park stages.
