The BMC & BRITISH LEYLAND (BL) Classic Car Show - Gaydon 2024

The BMC & British Leyland 2024 car show held at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, is today's Old Classic Car video, and what a show it was. This was my first visit to this event, and having owned a number of BMC (British Motor Corporation) cars over the years, I was keen to see what would turn up. I wasn't to be disappointed, the turnout was huge, aided no doubt by unusually fine weather.
The majority of the cars dated to the 1940s-onwards as you'd expect, with BMC classic cars (1940s/1950s/1960s) rubbing door handles with later cars of the BLMC (British Leyland Motor Corporation), BL (British Leyland) and later Austin Rover/Rover Group eras. A number of pre-BMC cars also made the pilgrimage to the grounds of the British Motor Museum as a reminder of the cars built by companies such as Austin and Standard-Triumph before being incorporated into the world of BMC, BLMC and BL.
Makes featured included Austin, Morris, Wolseley, Riley, MG, and Triumph.
If you own, or have owned, any of the BMC/British Leyland/Austin Rover cars featured, please pop a note into the comments and let me know your thoughts of them.
I didn't get into the museum itself on this visit, but I'll include links to videos featuring the main museum and also the JDHT (Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust) collection at the end of this video.
Apologies for the length of this one, but there was so much to see. I've never seen so many Austin/Morris 1800s in one place for example, including examples driven over from The Netherlands for added interest.
Other highlights for me included example(s) of Austin/Nash Metropolitan, Austin A40 pickup, A70 Hereford DHC, Triumph Acclaim, Standard Vanguard, Wolseley 15/50, Leyland Princess, Standard 10 Companion, and Triumph GT6 Mk2.
