Follow #BCGBMWE30 on social media Bookmark this page to follow my ongoing series with this car – everything that happens with the ownership of this BMW – one that I’ve owned for the second time. I used to own a blue one just like this back in the 1990s, and it was one of my most missed cars.
Here’s a walkaround of the massive 2023 NEC Classic Motor Show from Saturday 11th November 2023 – Way too much here to take in one a day, and it can’t possibly fit into one video [See below for more vids!]
Check out our coverage of the glamorous 2023 London Concours at the Honourable Artillery Company in the heart of London near Moorgate, featuring the best classics, coolest car kids, and brilliant interviews – plus #MakeGreenGreatAgain display and how does the Koenigsegg transmission work exactly? As of publishing this, the show is still on today and tomorrow – I’ll be back again for a bit on Thursday. Don’t miss it if you’re nearby. Truly an amazing event – one of my favourites. Co-Hosted and Co-Produced by my daughter Leena Amani
Check out my video from yesterday’s Enfield Pageant of Motoring (28th May 2023) – possibly the last one before ULEZ kicks in and substantially impacts both this and the Bromley Pageant. An amazing event where I got to meet Steve McQueen in the most authentic Bullitt Mustang recreation I’ve ever seen, plus I check out Starsky and Hutch’s Striped Tomato (the famous red Ford Gran Torino), the Zombie Police Car from Resident Evil 2, Herbie and the Bluesmobile. I also took my 1989 BMW 325i E30 – #BCGBMWE30 – and it was great to catch up with some of you!
A pair of stunning and beautifully restored Austin Healeys sit awaiting my attention. The Blue car is a 1965 Healey 3000, and the white car is a 1957 100/6. It’s a bright sunny day, we’re in the very heart of London, and I’ll be driving both. But these aren’t ordinary classic British roadsters. They’re hiding a secret.
Top 10 1960s Motors: The Sexiest Motors from the Swinging Sixties – The Magnificent and Mighty motors of the 1950s with their big big fenders, outlandish bumpers, and tall imposing grilles, made way for low-slung sexiness in the Seductive and Salacious sixties – oh behave! In all seriousness – the 1960s is quite possibly the most revolutionary car design eras of the automotive age. But which were the best cars of the 1960s? I’ll tell you in this video!
New 2023 Series 11 of Car S.O.S (the car show with a heart!) begins on Thursday 9th March on the National Geographic Channel. See my exclusive interview with TV presenters Tim Shaw & Fuzz Townshend 🤩
Interviews and cars, from the 2023 London Classic Car Show which returns to its home at Olympia London. Packed from the beginning on day 1 – Friday 24 February, we talk to owners and car makers about Ferraris, American coolness, and replica Bentley Blowers and a Bugatti Veyron. Plus we check out 60 years of the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette and much more. And how about that brown and black Chevrolet Camaro SS – it’s even got my initials on it!
I took the BCG BMW E30 and joined the father and son team (Jaz and Jaz Jr) that run West London Classics yesterday for their season-opening event, a car meet held in Feltham. Check out my video from the event, including interviews with the organisers and those attending. Discussions included people’s concerns over the forthcoming ULEZ-Expansion.
