12 Best British Cars through the Ages: Classy Continuation Models and Restoration Projects
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Going back in time for less than a century, when the United Kingdom was still an empire and its carmakers weren’t yet owned by the now former colonies, would bring us to the true golden age of British automaking. The era when the designs and engineering solutions associated with the Union Jack were universally recognized and even worshipped. Today we would like to invite you on a journey through the ages by taking a look at the most iconic car models, best restoration projects and stunning continuations with the UK origins.

Пікірлер: 101
I am enjoying your videos: the subject matter (Brit cars), the compilation of high qual clips etc. However, the narration is a bit tough on the ear. The accent (computer voice?) mispronounces many of the words - only slightly, but enough to be distracting.

Restomod projects are the best way to familiarize modern consumers with the nation's automotive history. There are even some British manufacturers that value their history so much that their modern vehicles look similar to those produced 50 years ago. Today we would like to dedicate a full episode to modern cars so fine any gentleman would be honored to drive. Which of these is your favorite?

No gentleman would be seen dead in anything in the current Rolls Royce range. They are the pinnacle of pretension. Gaudy, twinkling lights in the roof, what my mother would have called desperate colours inside and out, diamonds inlaid when asked for. The real company always turned down anything that it thought vulgar enough to reflect badly on the marque. Now it seems the more gaudy and vulgar the better. The triumph of money over taste. Certainly nothing for the traditional Rolls Royce owner. Before I'm accused of jealousy, I have owned, as second owner, a 1965 Silver Cloud III, since 1982. A proper Rolls Royce.
