I was lucky enough to own a one German owner from new, 1993 pre facelift 500E and they are fantastic bits of kit.

Since Matt mentioned the BMW750 appearing in The Transporter, for those who don't know Taxi (the French version) features 2 500Es and some excellent driving sequences. Just a superb looking car.

Fantastic to see you growing the channel like this, the production values just keep getting better, You with Smith & Sniff would be a winning combination for sure, I'd love to see you collaborate with Jonny, perhaps on a barn find for extra 'real world' future advice about what could happen to them when they get moved on in the market - you'd certainly have a lot in common with Richard Porter, given the locale and your snide wit and attitude (not to mention knowledge) it would be a winning combination....I think I've just realised who the next three presenters of that show should be!...I know you don't have that sort of agent but someone should get the three of you in a room together for sure.

My favourite of your videos, and that’s quite an accolade. I think the viewing figures will show a new summer side angle for you, and hopefully us! An MGC has a straight 6, 3 litre, and is quite a car. I think you might have some form of crimson fever. You walked past 2 red Italian beauties! 😂

This was a very interesting video and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many cars from my youth (I am 70+ years old now). You pointed to an E-type jaguar 4.2 litre at 18.00 minutes with the "vinyl top". For your information this is a Webasto sun roof, a very good quality slide and fold -back roof, a perspex fly screen is also part of the mechanical roof which can be pushed up from inside. My wife had one of these in the late 1970's on her 1965 Mini Hooper, also had Dunlop wheels, walnut dash panel and 2" thick blue pile carpets. Yes it had been fitted out by Hooper Coachworks, as a special. This video brought back wonderful memories of fantastic cars. I had a particular fondness for the Mark 2 Lotus Cortina at 17.20mins. I think the original car would have had quarter bumpers, certainly the Mark One did. Thank you for showing this, and best wishes for future vids.

What a great video thanks for taking us for a look around ! it was very interesting seeing some lovely old motors!!

Love this Matt. Please do more if you get a chance. Also, I think THIS is where the production level and style as in this presentation belongs. Your “look at what I’ve bought…” videos need you POV style. Best of luck. And that XJRS wow!!

Great video as usual. Liked the tweed jacket as well! The S-Type Jag has longer tail and independent rear suspension compared to Mk 2 , it’s more modern but the market still values it less than the Mk2 .

An MGC is pretty much identical to an MGB aside from the 3-litre straight six, 15 inch wheels instead of 14 inch, and the bonnet bulge to accommodate the radiator. Love the classic Mini Cooper JC later in the video as well - my all time dream car.

You would probably have liked my old mgbgt V8. Damask red 1974 year. It had the 3.5 rover engine...only about 140 HP but felt quick enough at the time...and sounded lovely. It was pretty reliable as well and we toured around Scotland in it during holidays. What else...overdrive on 2,3 and 4th gear. Lovely car . We got a fair amount of attention from others ...in a good way! Had about 150 k miles on it when I sold it. Shame everything is getting so expensive these days. Owners clubs can be good for insurance for young folk btw. I also had a black V8 mgb roadster...but it wasn't a genuine car. I think I preferred the little red gt. Mg midgets are great place to start...or at least they used to be...no idea about prices now. Good luck with your collecting! Cheers

Between driving lessons my dad took me out for practice in his mk 3 Cortina 2.0 GT. Not a lot of difference between the two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never driven a mini since.

Cracking video Matt. The quality of your films are going from strength to strength and this was on par with anything on mainstream TV. As others have said, I'd have watched all of this if it had been two hours long! Love your enthusiasm and we can tell how genuinely passionate you are about cars. I really expected a follow up with you driving the P38 telling us you'd bought it. Keep up the fantastic work Matt.

Great video, very watchable. Hope you do more in the future!

Great Video Matt. As an older guy I could have bored you to tears giving you some background on the cars which are before your era! My favourite was the 2.8 Capri - always wanted one!

I went to the H and H auction in Buxton last year, but the prices were crazy. Like all auctions including Mathewsons the cars nine times out of ten go for loads more than the estimate and then there is the commission on top. I was going to go to the auction today but now i do not need to after seeing all the cars in the vid. The only cars i would be interested in are the Mini, TR6 and Capri. I had an MGB, TR6 and Rover Mini years ago when they were new. Yes i am old and do not need reminding of it lol. The old cars had charm and bring back great memories of when i owned them, but modern cars are so advanced and mostly reliable. Better safety and extras like cruise control, air con, heated seats and much better MPG.

In 1960 my Dad drove a Ford V8 Pilot - green, brown upholstery. People kept making cash offers for it. It was the same V8 engine as used in army vehicles during the war. Any mechanic could work on them quite easily. A comfortable but heavy car. Maximum speed 80mph.

Hi Matt. I don’t normally bother to comment but I think this video was one of your best. Also, it made my very nostalgic and looking at the expected prices I now I wish I had been able to hang onto my E-type, S-type, frog eyed Austin Healy, TR2, TR3, TR4, TR6, MG, Series 1, 2 and 3 Land Rovers, Lotus Cortina and Lotuses. Even my Sierra XR4x4 and Mini! I would be rich. Now I couldn’t fit in any of them! I drove my boss’s Corvette back in the 80s when in the US and it was terrible although the Daimler Dart was the first car in which I did over 100 MPH on the Kingston bypass. I really hope you will do some more videos like this one. Thanks a lot.

Absolutely love the E500. I had an E320 in a forest green color with a caramel brown interior. One of my favorite cars ever. Really enjoyed the vid. Nice to mix the type of vids up every once in awhile.

Matt I'm 61 and I've never driven a Mini either! When I was young and Skint back in the early 80's the Citroen Dyane was my transport of choice! However looking back there was always something big and stupid in between each Dyane, V6 Granada(x2) RoverP5 and a V8 P6, early series 1 XJ all bought for buttons back then. I've never driven a Beetle either. Canada has a bit of history regarding RHD, they drove on the right until the late 20's and had a healthy export market into the 60's for US cars built with RHD in Canada.

Really enjoyable. Great knowledge too.
