01:00So amazing car that's here, including this 1940s Triumph Roadster, and we're with David Finch. Hello David.

01:22So, what's it say on the shirt there? What's the name of the club?

01:26It is the Savage Pre-War and Classic Car Club.

01:28How many members have you got? About 50.

01:31And you get involved in how many shows each year?

01:34There's one every week for the season.

01:37What, all kind of midlands?

01:38One next year each week at the Seven Valley Railway we do.

01:40Ah, of course.

01:42We have several cars there at the stations.

01:45I've not been to this festival before, has it been going for a few years?

01:49This one, yes, Trimbley's been going for many, many years.

01:52Yeah.

01:52One of our club members is the organiser.

01:55Ah, okay.

01:55Yeah, yeah.

01:56David Spruce.

01:57So, what's kind of the rarest car that you'd have in the club then, would you say?

02:02The rarest car in the club would probably be the old pre-war ones.

02:06Yeah.

02:06So, what, go on, I'm going to put you on the spot.

02:20What is it about these old cars that appeal?

02:23You like them.

02:25Yeah.

02:26It's craftsmanship for one, isn't it?

02:27My car was in the 50s and it was what was on the road when I first started to dry it.

02:32Yeah.

02:32My father had one.

02:33So, there's the whole nostalgia thing to going back to it.

02:36It's completely and utter nostalgia.

02:38Yeah, yeah.

02:38Well, they look great, so thank you for keeping them on the road for us, to all the club members.

02:43We'll try as long as they're lettuce.

02:44Yeah.

02:45Not only have we got a beautiful steam engine here, but my friend here is cooking.

02:51What's cooking, boss?

02:52What have you got?

02:53A gammon at the moment.

02:54A bit of gammon?

02:55Yeah.

02:55So, how long does that take to cook in there, then?

02:58It's been in there about 25 minutes at the moment now.

03:00Wow, good stuff.

03:02About 25 minutes, and we're going to put the eggs on.

03:05Cool.

03:18Oh, we're checking out a BMW iZ, and we're with...

03:21Go on, sir.

03:22What's your name?

03:22Adrian.

03:24Adrian and...

03:25Catherine.

03:26Catherine.

03:26Now, there's a little special mug there.

03:28Let's have a look at this mug.

03:2965.

03:31That's the car, isn't it?

03:32Yeah.

03:3365 tomorrow.

03:33So, where was it built?

03:35In Brighton.

03:36Yeah?

03:37Wow.

03:37There's a locomotive factory in Brighton.

03:40Yeah.

03:40When they closed down the factory.

03:43Yeah.

03:43In two weeks, they converted into making the iZ a bubble car.

03:49No, that BMW iZ a beautiful thing.

03:52And you were saying a lot of the parts are from the Midlands as well?

03:55Yeah.

03:55Oh, yeah.

03:56Chassis.

03:56Rubri Owen.

03:57Oh, yeah.

03:57I like Palatine.

03:58Yeah, Rubri Owen.

04:00I've heard of Rubri Owen.

04:01Where are they?

04:02Yeah, Albury.

04:04But now we're in Olmen.

04:05A lot of places.

04:06But Albury was probably where it was built.

04:10Yeah.

04:11This is the chassis owner.

04:12Yeah, yeah.

04:13But there was a lot of parts made.

04:16Lucas Electrics.

04:18Yeah.

04:18Birmingham, of course.

04:20And then I know the sunroof steep was made there.

04:22And they probably made the bumper wheels rims.

04:26And the wheels were made pretty British as well.

04:29Here's the question.

04:31What is it like to drive?

04:32Fantastic.

04:33Is it?

04:33Yeah.

04:34Like a normal car.

04:36I bet it's good fun, isn't it?

04:37I don't drive, yeah.

04:38Yeah.

04:38And also, my husband's owned the car for 52 years.

04:41Wow.

04:42Well, it's looking great.

04:43Thanks for bringing it to the show, guys.

04:45Yeah.

04:45Pleasure.

04:45It's our pleasure.

04:46So, we've got the 1975-78 Jawa Ice Racer.

04:51Never seen one before.

04:52And Dave, just come round a little bit, kiddo.

04:54So, this is your bike.

04:55Yeah.

04:56Dave, I've never seen one.

04:57And I've been to a fair few shows.

04:59Can't be many about.

05:01What do you know about it, then, chap?

05:05Well, not a lot, really.

05:07It's so much I wanted.

05:09Check when I bought it off.

05:10It took me 18 months to get it.

05:13It just wanted it as a feature to take to shows.

05:16Yeah, yeah.

05:17So, I'll take it to Staffordshire.

05:19I've took it to one or two other shows.

05:21Yeah, they have the big motorbike show, don't they?

05:22Yeah, Stafford.

05:23At the showground.

05:24Yeah, yeah.

05:24And where would it have been raced, then?

05:26In this country, or?

05:28Nah.

05:29Years ago, they used to have it at the Talbot Archring,

05:32but I don't think this one's ever been raced in this country.

05:34It's more of a shell bike.

05:37Yeah, yeah.

05:38So, what are we thinking?

05:39Like, back in the day, it would have been Russia and somewhere like that?

05:41Yeah, yeah.

05:42Probably might have been a bit in Switzerland,

05:44but mainly Russia, where it's originated.

05:47Have you ever come across another one on your travels?

05:49I know where there's a couple.

05:51Yeah.

05:51Based down in Hertfordshire, in a museum.

05:54Yeah, but like you say, not many about, though.

05:57No, no.

05:57I've never seen any other shows or anywhere like that.

06:00Fantastic bit of kit.

06:01I would not want to get ridden over by them.

06:04Cheers, Dave.

06:04Thanks for bringing it to the show.

06:06No problem.

06:06And when I touch you, I feel happy inside.

06:13It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

06:24Yeah, yeah.
