Great and varied content as usual Rick , the Rolls towards the end is a 1921 Silver Ghost , so now 102 years old !.The Ghost was in production from 1907 to 1924 so this is quite a late model.The ' baby ' 20h.p model came out in 1922 and was the first to adopt front wheel brakes and the only Rolls ( UK made ) model to use horizontal radiator shutters .This car was registered in Manchester so not far from where it was built in Derby !.

Thanks for the info Roger, I was sure it'd not take long for proper identification to be forthcoming!!

40:19 You missed that it's actually a very rare Alpina Roadster S. Many people don't know how incredibly well engineered those cars were in fact, and the Alpina version with its optional LSD and slight tweaks really showed it in the rare cases when someone actually tracked it (of course they're equally brilliant on the road but you can't see that brilliance in numbers in that case). The lap times those things achieved were amazing and far, far more powerful cars with far larger engines like Mercedes SLK 55 AMG were totally outclassed. The Z4 basis was already a fantastic platform with all the fundamentals right (for an open-top roadster with its chassis stiffness compromises...). The world's best professional performance testers Sport Auto found that already the Z4 3.0si was competing against the SLK 55 AMG in dynamics/performance! Andreas Bovensiepen was probably at that point back from working for BMW, having learnt suspension design and tuning from the legends there. So it's no wonder that by adding the LSD and doing his magic to further optimize the suspension he got the Roadster S to perform so brilliantly (and the additional power gave its own small contribution). I guess around those times BMW also lost many of the old suspension gurus, as BMW often had Bovensiepen/Alpina develop some of their models' suspensions as well! I don't know if they still to this day have Alpina develop their suspension setups (in connection with tire design etc.).

Ahhh, a civilized channel at last! Sunday and live races. I made the mistake of correcting an error stated in the chat and received what I think is an insult. It is apparently a parochial British insult and being American it made no sense to me. I am sure if I offered the same information on this channel it would receive a polar response! I thoroughly enjoy your videos sir and you have greatly expanded my feeble knowledge of the British automobile. Thank you sir!

Terrific meeting . This is when l wished l didn't live in Devon ! Incidently , you were right in that the 1.6 was wearing 1.9 wheels . The 2002 turbo must have been a replica as they were , as far as l know , only built in LHD . Thanks .

Another wonderful video, Having seen one of my old Warwick Wright Chiswick 205 GTI demonstrator’s (J443KOY) in an earlier vid, you then come across F804OLD which was a car I sold when I first joined the dealership. You’re quite right, it’s fitted with the 1.9 spec alloys which was a popular upgrade with owners but not a factory option on the 1.6’s. At that point was a newbie to the dealership which was a large factory owned Peugeot dealer on Chiswick roundabout in West London, I was given a base spec 309 XE, F900 OLD fortunately I sold it pretty quickly a 205 XS which was superb little car, Thanks for another terrific vid.

The BMW Z3 coupe (13:40) is commonly referred to over here as the clown shoe. Seems a bit harsh, but still funny.

Favourites: #1 Sunbeam 37:57, #2 Rover SD1 Vitesse 33:24 and #3 Morris Marina Super Estate 1:20:24. (Too easy to pick the Italian cars, the British ones deserve some attention too!)

E28 M535i was available with the dogleg Getrag, normal 5 speed and the 4 speed auto. Owned a few back when they were a good value used car. Think they look better without the full body kit and like you say, so much nicer than BMW's new cars.

Very enjoyable video, what would I take home 1st the Bournemouth reg Standard Vanguard, 2nd one of the MK2 Zodiac / Zephyr saloons, in 1974 I gave a packet of woodbine cigarettes for one from my neighbour Mr Crawte the car I learnt to drive in. And 3rd the dinky as you say the Escort pick up / ute so cute. There are others like the Princess and the beautiful Mercedes Benz unfortunately lowered...why??? Each to their own I suppose.
