Classic Car Show in Morecambe by Matilda Walden

Transcript

00:00Today we went to a classic car show so off we go in our Austin 1100 called Austin.

00:15Going down the nearly freshly, I mean I suppose it is freshly tarmac,

00:19just not the snow coat yet so we've got a few bumps to dodge.

00:25We arrived there quite early so then we can get you a clear shot of all the cars and as you

00:29can see it is pretty damn clear no people around so we there's some absolutely stunning cars here

00:36and just amazing how immaculate they are and how people just donate so much of their time to do

00:41them and make sure they're clean and running well and the interior and the outside I mean it's just

00:46like a job every single day and they manage it amazingly and they do it wonderfully and

00:50we met some very good characters today as you shall see inside the full video.

01:01I like your teddies.

01:20Yeah, yeah.

01:51Now you drive.

02:05After you.

02:20I just got a photo of a bike with a man next to next to it.

02:24I got a good photo of a bike with a man sat on it and I bet you it's the same bike.

02:28Ah, right.

02:32Pardon?

02:33Did you give him a business card?

02:34No I didn't.

02:35Oh well I gave him a business card so I'm really good.

02:37Oh right well I'll go give him a business card then.

02:40I'll go try and ride his bike.

02:42Right well you know I'll do something else.

02:45I'll put a dog on top of it.

02:47I'll buy it.

02:50So you didn't get your little car into your car show.

03:17It's not my fault.

03:20So

03:44oh

03:50I remember this one from last year, and they put a seatbelt across so you can't get in and drive it off.

04:15You bought your lovely car again.

04:20Looking wonderful.

04:34I see you've brought your teddies.

04:36I'm going to bring my babies out now.

04:38Yeah, are you bringing them out now?

04:40I'm bringing them out now.

04:50That is amazing.

05:20And what's both of your names?

05:31Judy and David Baker.

05:33And this is your car. Does your car have a name?

05:35No, it doesn't have a name.

05:37Have you not named your car?

05:39No, we haven't named it.

05:41What would you name it?

05:43Purple Ronnie.

05:45Is that a type of car?

05:47No, it's just a silly name really.

05:50I'll have to get you a little sign for it.

05:52What type of car is this?

05:54Porsche 911.

05:56How long have you had it for?

05:5820 years.

06:00How old is it?

06:021995.

06:04Have you been anywhere special in it?

06:06Yes, we've been all over the place.

06:08We've gone on a lot of Porsche runs and Porsche weekends away.

06:10Silverstone Classic.

06:12A lot of the classic weekends we've gone to.

06:14Is it quite reliable?

06:16Yes.

06:19Have you broken down there?

06:21No, we haven't.

06:23Only once we got 200 yards out and broke down by the co-op.

06:25At least we didn't go far.

06:27Thank you for showing us your wonderful car.

06:31All these four are from the Lancashire Porsche Club.

06:33That's brilliant, thank you.

06:35Have a great day.

07:38What type of car is it?

07:40It's a 1969 MGB GT.

07:42How long have you had it?

07:44Probably about 10 years.

07:47Have you done any repairs on it?

07:49It was rescued from a scrap.

07:55So it was going for scrap?

07:57It was going for scrap.

07:59Well done you.

08:01Most of the rear end of it had rotted away.

08:05I just saw an opportunity and got it.

08:07Have you done this yourself?

08:09I've done it at home.

08:11Well done you.

08:13Did you have any experience before?

08:16When I grew up, my dad was a mechanic.

08:18He worked for AA when I was growing up.

08:22When I left home, the first thing I bought was an old car.

08:27I've been doing it for quite a long time now.

08:29I bet you're very proud of it.

08:31I would be.

08:33I have some more cars at home.

08:37It's very tidy.

08:39Is this original or did you change it up a bit?

08:41Very little of it is actually original.

08:47The seat frame is original.

08:49The car itself from up to about here is pretty much original.

08:55The back end is one I had to make a new back end for it.

08:59Most of the dashboard is original.

09:01But the seats have all been re-covered.

09:03And obviously not original carpets.

09:07There is a lot of original parts in it.

09:11And a lot that couldn't be saved.

09:15Is it in keeping with that type of car?

09:19There is another one, a red one over there.

09:21You'll be able to see the similarities.

09:25When I did it, it was quite a popular car.

09:29I thought there was enough of them on the planet to make this one a bit different.

09:35So you put your own stamp on it.

09:37I like your blue seatbelt.

09:39It goes very well with your seats.

09:41Your seats look very nice.

09:43And your paintwork.

09:45You've got very nice mirrors as well, haven't you?

09:51Don't go driving off, Matilda.

09:53No, but I could drive off. Would you like me to drive it off?

09:55As long as you came back.

09:57But you haven't seen the drive, I take it.

09:59Maybe I won't let you see the hospital.

10:05I could drive.

10:07How do you keep it so clean?

10:09And tidy?

10:11I spend a lot of time cleaning it.

10:13I am married.

10:15It's our 30 year wedding anniversary this year.

10:17To your car?

10:19No, to my wife.

10:21We've probably spent about 5 years together in all that time.

10:27It's very tidy.

10:33Thank you very much for that.

10:35Have a great day.

12:05Sorry. Yes, Peter.

12:07So, you've got this lovely vehicle with you today.

12:09Yes.

12:11So what have you brought it along for?

12:13It's for the vintage.

12:15So people can have a look at it?

12:17Yes.

12:19And is it yours?

12:21Yes.

12:23And you just showed me a picture of what it used to look like just before.

12:25Yes, that one there.

12:27That's when it was found in the orchard.

12:29So this particular bus was found?

12:31That's the exact one.

12:33That's the whole thing as it stands.

12:35Wow.

12:37That's absolutely incredible, isn't it?

12:39So how did you do that?

12:41Did you do this yourself?

12:43No, no, no.

12:45The guy that had it in the beginning

12:47is the one who did it all.

12:49All I've done to it really

12:51is actually refined it all.

12:53He's done the hard work

12:55getting it all together

12:57and I've just made it better.

12:59So how long have you had it for?

13:01It's 12 months now.

13:03Oh, so not really that long.

13:05Do you take passengers?

13:07It depends.

13:09It depends on what it is

13:11and who it is.

13:13You've got to remember it's nearly 100 years old.

13:15So it's one of those

13:17sort of vehicles that

13:19I've been asked to do

13:21weddings and things like that.

13:23How can you tell a girl

13:25on her wedding day

13:27that I've broken down?

13:29And you haven't got a back-up bus?

13:31Well, we've got a back-up bus

13:33but not a vintage one.

13:35A disordered one.

13:47I like the little two side bits

13:49where it goes off to the side.

13:51Those leaflets that you see on the side there

13:53they're actually genuine ones.

13:55They're actually from that era.

13:57They're not copies

13:59of anything.

14:01They're actually genuine.

14:07It's very clean

14:09and tidy, isn't it?

14:11Well, like I say

14:13a lot of work has gone into it

14:15since I've had it.

14:17I've tried to make it better

14:19than what it was

14:21which I have done.

14:23So...

14:29You can't miss it, can you?

14:31Open your door. Is it locked?

14:33No, it's not locked. Can I open it?

14:35Yeah, go on.

14:37Oh, it's easy to open, isn't it?

14:39That's a very smoothly one.

14:41Look at that.

14:43Let's bring it back in again.

14:45Oh, that's a piece of cake, isn't it?

14:47It's very smooth. Look at that.

14:49You can open it again and again.

14:51It's not broken.

14:53Well, it's not been broken a hundred years

14:55so please don't break it.

14:57Oh, that's very good.

14:59Oh, look at your little hinges as well.

15:01Look.

15:05Oh, they're great, aren't they?

15:09Absolutely great.

15:13Oh, you've got a good door there.

15:15You've got a good door, she says on your bus.

15:17Well done, you.

15:21I'll take some during lunch.

15:23I'll take some during lunch.

15:25Right, are we off to the next one?

15:27Yep, see what else we can see.

15:29A lovely bus.

15:31Thank you very much.

15:33You're welcome.

15:35Bye, have a great day.
