Hi, thanks for watching, a full list of the videos on the channel is here: kzread.infovideos Channel homepage: kzread.info/dron/KaTg9fPUvmUQi94FcnDbrg.html

Brilliant video yet again, especially the 'interview' with the owner of the Austin Princess 3ltr - I LOVE those cars, in fact all those 'big' Austins. I dream ov owning a Princess R one day !!! Thanks for sharing your day out with us.

Thanks, I find it interesting to chat to owners about their cars because it's easy to forget just how much work is required to drag some of these old survivors into roadworthy condition

The imp had a bad reputation back in the day, but you have to admire its unique design. Thanks for a really interesting video. Peace be unto you.

Thank you for giving some time over to the Imps - the greatest little car that never stood a chance ( due to politics, geography, strikes, ridiculous deadlines etc etc). A smashing collection in this video, a great variety, a big thumbs up.

Very nice to see some stunning Vauxhalls. Especially the Sports Hatch in Extra Dark Wine, they were a numbered limited edition. I sold a couple whilst working for Bentley Brothers in Sheffield, a very well respected and long serving family run Vauxhall/Bedford dealer who are sadly no more. Too many big groups these who fail to offer the personal touch of the quality family owned dealerships. Thanks for posting another interesting and entertaining presentation. Nice to see the Dodge looking in fine fettle also.

Thanks Alan, to drive it's like nothing else I've owned, way different to even something of the 1930s/1940s, I imagine comparing an early 1900s veteran to a 1920s vintage car is a similar leap in experience.

Your knowledge is positively impressive, thank you.

RJ, My Dad wanted me to buy a new Ford Elite in college, but I rebelled and bought a one-year-old 1974 BMW 2002. He wasn't delighted with my choice, but still loaned me the money to buy it. I felt pretty smug, and autocrossed it until the sticky Pirelli tires were bald. Then I had to beg him for tire money so the car would pass inspection. He imposed a racing ban after that until I could afford to buy my own rubber. I'm still happy with my choice: Beemer over Ford. Great Vid.

Great lineup at Crew, much enjoyed. How far did you have to drive the little Dodge?

Heated rear windows should have been standard on the Imp, Keep your hands warm while pushing it home again.

I prefer the chrome bumper MGB but what I've become really interested in is the MGA. I love the lines in those cars and was disappointed not to see one in your video.

Yes MGAs are very nice, I can only video what's there but I'll keep my eye open for MGAs at future shows

Nice to see so many Triumphs even the ones that seem to be a work in progress. I like the Imps, it is true that they had their problems but racing wise they gave the Minis some competition . I think if they could've refined them a little more, over heating was their problem, then they would have sold more units. The APT didn't catch on mainly (or in part) because on press runs they ended up with tea and coffee in their laps. The concept was good though. Nice to see a few 'hot rod' pop's I did like the red one with hub caps, very nice as were the others. Those scooters were breeding behind your back I think, nice original looking too. We have see some of those cars before but it is good that the owners show them the light of day regularly. Thanks again for the video most enjoyable. 👍

Chrome bumper MGB every time.

I suspect the black ‘66 Mustang may have been “Ceramic Coated “. The “little “!white Chevy, is a “Chevy-ll , Nova”, later, just Nova. The Chevy-ll came out in ‘62 , changed body style in ‘67. My first car was a ‘64 Chevy-ll Nova. 194 ci. Straight 6 cyl, and 2 speed Automatic, 4 door. 🙂📻

Let me take this video and this example (37:27) of wing-mounted side mirrors to ask you this (coming from a U.S. subscriber): even if the angle away from straight ahead was shallower with these as opposed to mirrors mounted at the A-pillar, thus maybe taking your eyes off the road less drastically, with the mirror being that far away and consequently the field of its reflected view so reduced, how the heck did you see anything? Not to mention the need for an assistant to adjust them for you!

@oldclassiccarUK

2 жыл бұрын

Once they're set up correctly (like with any rear view mirror), I found wing mirrors to be excellent - my Austin A40 had them when I first took to the roads and they really worked well, no need to move your head left or right, just look over in their direction and you got a good view of the road behind. They don't work on every car, but in many cases they can be effective. Thanks for watching

@@maestromontegometroappreci7287 Another "opinion" probably gained from watching crap such as Top Gear or heard it from mates down the pub or one of these people who kept buying other people unlooked after heaps and then blamed the cars/manufacturers. These cars were actually excellent and very reliable cars and were well liked by their owners as well. We looked after and serviced many of these cars in the garage I worked in back then and they were easy to look after and service etc and we never had any problems with them apart from rust but everything back then had problems with rust - one thing that we noticed with regard to this is how much thicker the metal was on the sills of Maestros and Montegos compared to their rivals - probably why they came out as excellent in the crash tests with only the Volvos coming out above them at the time in their class - they also came out as excellent for reliability as well causing Clarkson commenting on Top Gear that it must have been diesels they tested in his trying to slag them off because them being reliable went against the crap they always came out about BL/Austin Rover etc at that time. My aunt had three Maestros in a row under disability back then because they were the only cars in that class that she could get her fold down wheelchair into the boot apart from the Volvo at that time and they weer excellent reliable cars and she really liked them.
