Hi, The Rover 105R is the only P4 to have an automatic style transmission called Roverdrive developed by Rover and is operated by a standard type clutch controlled by a button operated solenoid on top of the gear selector lever under the the dash which, when a gear is selected then engages with the torque converter connecting to a two geared + reverse box allowing it to be driven like an automatic. The car also had overdrive which engaged at around 30 mph. Very few were made between 57/8 and they are now as rare as the proverbial rocking horse poo. Hope this helps. I have one.

THANKYOU FOR THIS

I spoke with the owner of the glorious Standard. It is indeed an original V8. The patina is wonderful, but the back story is even more incredible. There are some dents on it that were incurred as it was used to bring some people out of europe (possibly Austria) just prior to the war. I'm sure others who heard the tale will be able to expand on the story. In any case, it was, for me, the outstanding car of the show.

Good video, thank you for showing my A35, yes the engine is from a 1275 midget, also gearbox, Wolseley 1500 diff etc. disc brakes, it goes well ! We travelled 800 miles that week, it’s well used and loved. Btw, the headlamp peaks are genuine 1960s Desmo items, but the modern plain rubbish you buy today. The Frogeye next to it belongs to my mate, that also has a 1275 fitted. We both traveled up from Cardiff to Tatton.

My brother in law was a car salesman at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership that sold Panteras (like the one at 1:07) back in about '71. He brought home a demo and took ten-year-old me for a ride. The incredible acceleration and handling were shocking, and that 351 Cleveland thundering away behind my head was tune I won't forget.

Wow, loved the old Standards. Our family car was a 1947 Standard 14, right up until 1967. After dad sold it I've never seen another one on the road in the 56 years since. Also, amazed to see the pre-war Standard 20, with a V-8 as well. I never imagined Standard had produced a V-8 at any time, let alone in the depression of the 1930s. Another wonderful video, many thanks from Australia.

I learnt to drive in a Mini, but a later vintage 850cc '73 M reg in orange. Always thought it rode very rough, and found the gearshift awkward as I was used to my Dads mk 3 Cortina 2.0 GT. Passed 1st time and never drove a Mini again.

I like austin and morris badge cars

Interesting to see the Sierra 2.0is early in in the video, I started my motor trade career at Perry’s in Edgware and this spec Sierra was known to be the ‘sleeper’ in the pre facelift 1985-86 range. Very basic inside it was virtually an ‘L’ spec with sports seats and a rev counter. The injected 2 litre Pinto gave it a decent turn of speed but it only really sold to various Police services due to the low spec. Yet again you’ve found a rarity !

The Renault 17s always had the slats to the rear quarters, where as the15s had a large rear quarter window

Yes, the Datsun 120Y 01:04:45 was a familiar sight on British streets in the 70s and 80s. A first car for many young people in the 80s. As you say Rick, nowadays a very rare sight.

Great to see an AC 2 Litre like mine at 57:55. I can confirm that those doors are heavy, although the glass + fittings makes up half of that weight (ash and alloy being light). They did make a small number of 4 door cars too.

With reference to the age of older British cars if the car has Triplex glass and you look at the letters in the word toughened in the etched logo, one letter will have a dot underneath indicating the year of manufacture. But you have to guess the decade.

55 has a small grill,56 is bigger and goes to the edges of the car and the 57 Chevy belair is the one on the video, keep up the great work, hope you are all keeping cool at occ.👍👍🇬🇧

Thank you for another great video. Nice to see the AC 2 litre aluminium bodied saloon at 58:11 and again at 2:01:33. Built between 1947 and 1956, with a four door and drop head coupe introduced in 1952. My father owned a two door in the late 1960s early 1970s and I remember its lovely lines and lively performance. I travelled in it several times from north Manchester to the Lake District and it positively flew over Belmont. He did however have the irritating habit of putting roof rack on it which I thought spoilt its lines.

Just spotted me…in the beer tent enjoying the rockabilly group Ignition.

It's surprising how many owners of classic cars don't attend classic car shows only local meets. I used to go to the Corner House classic meet at Wrightington nr Wigan where I'd often see some very expensive motors like a real Ferrari 250 SWB, a 275 GTB, and, surprisingly, a Ferrari 250 California Spyder in yellow (not a replica/kit car but a rebodied Ferrari) all owned by the same person, plus two Dayton's and an Aston Martin DB5 which had lipped wheel arches (I'm guessing it was an ex race version). Never seen at any of them at any classic car show, saw the yellow Spyder once at Ormskirk Motorfest in 2018. The owners of these cars must never show them.

@oldclassiccarUK

I think the spiralling values of many such cars mean that a) some owners are wary of them being damaged at big shows like this and b) many owners simply sit on them and hope the values will keep rising, sadly.

@Embracing01

Жыл бұрын

@@oldclassiccarUK I agree there, the values is deterring owners from showing them. I think alot of these classics are overpriced/valued, some of them are not worth the money. I can't believe VW Campervans are fetching upwards of 20k now, even the less sought after models not just the splitscreen early models, and bubble cars around the 15-20k mark, it's just silly.

Another enjoyable video thank you. So many different types of cars to admire, a great selection of rare and unusual motors as well. But what would I take home? Well as I love the patina look... 1, it has to be the large late 30s Standard, love to have known more of the cars history. 2, the little Ford Model Y with its original patina look, and 3, and as I'm an estate car guy it has to be the MK 3 Ford Zodiac Farnham estate. Cheers all 🍻

Guessing this is about the old photos upload? Yes I'd like to do a few "before" and "after" comparisons with old photos where the locations are known.

Regarding the V8 Standard, it most probably is the original V8. The reason I mention this, is because you are usually very observant - yet when you pointed yourcamera at the faded badge on the front of the grill for some time; I said to myself ‘why hasn’t he mentioned that it. Clearly reads V8,’ but the numerals were like this VIII, and it immediately struck me that it was clearly V8. I was astounded myself, because I didn’t think that the Standard Motor Company ever produced one!

When the roots assembly plant at Linwood closed they dug holes holes and bulldozed all the parts into them my friend actually built a complete imp for free out of the buried treasure. For years later you could see treasure hunters heading home with their spoils Sad to see the marque die

The 1955 Vauxhall Cresta convertible is not a Vagabond. Vagabond's were built by GM Holden in Australia only in the 1953 & 54 models.

You are right that the mid-fifties Chevrolets didn't change much in styling between the 1955, 1956 and 1957 models, but on the turquoise blue Bel Air at 1:08:20, the long sweeping triangular trim panel towards the rear marks it as a 1957 model.

We had a nice brit car meet last weekend about 130 miles. From us in Bloomington Illinois up old rbout 66. Ha d three nice da ys but a failure to start as we were going to return home. I did not have my multi mer and time constraints led us to come home by Tra in having seen our 4/4; off on a flat bed truck tnour mechanic in the Chicago suburban region. It got back an our ahead of us and the next day confirmed it to be the key switch. Simple repair but somewhat pricey tow. Otherwise a grand weekend with rather perfect weather.

It just cost to much now, just looking at the 2024 calendar, with park entry its now £21 its only a few year back it was nearly half that, the shows got smaller past few years as the traders are being charged so much and with less people going because of the price there selling less, it used to be full that tradeing area, now theres big gaps, this is exactly what the sellers said to me, some traders just sell bits and bobs which are great stalls for a bargin but are not few and fare between now, sad watching it dwindle because of Greed,
