Welcome to AutoAtlantica! I’m a British transplant in the United States and I will be diving into the American car market and culture. New cars, used cars, collector cars, car collections, museums and shows, I hope to cover it all.
I also have a fleet of my own automotive headaches and will cover their ongoing adventures as they undergo repairs to bring them up to snuff.
I have many years of automotive industry experience on both sides of the Atlantic, and with my work writing for a car magazine and blogs, thought a great opportunity could arise from a RUclips channel bridging the transatlantic divide.
If you have a car or collection you would like featured on the channel, by all means get in touch! Have camera, will travel! My main coverage areas are NY to VA to OH and MI; also AZ occasionally as well as the UK.
Want to get in touch? Please email me at autoatlantica2023@gmail.com and I will respond within 24 hours.

Great update Darren, thanks... lovely cars. 😎
Cheers Andy hope you’re well!
Such a cool collection! Can’t wait to see the Series 3 XJ back and running happily.
Cheers Martin.
Fascinating car collection. It only lacks old BMWs and Renault LeCar/Alliance.
Thanks for watching!
At least you didn't stomp on it. That Getrag would have exploded into a million pieces.
Much like the Banshee, anything that might threaten the Corvette had to go. Bye bye little birdie.
I'm 6'3", and my '86 has LOTS of leg room with the seat all the way back. I can stretch out my left leg fully. (With clutch fully depressed) and right leg when it's floored. 12 seconds is taking it easy. My ZZ4 350 swap is similar, but with 4 speed Muncie. I've gotten deep into the 11s. (11.86)
I always thought the fiero was a great looking car it's a shame they didn't build them like this one
Why are all these old cars looking better than the new cars of today? I want an old car with a carb I can work on myself like I used to do. That was so much fun back then.
@@Bobby8451 good point!
Audio is terrible, only out of one side of headphones. Should have been edited before posting.
@@robertwinkler8444 it was edited. The problem occurs when uploading to RUclips. Any advice from a fellow video-producer?
The Stype R has aged particularly well. Very masculine.
I agree, I think it’s retro looks and sleek, squat stance have really helped it to age well.
@AutoAtlantica I noticed you have an English accent. Greetings from Worcestershire.
@ I’m originally from Leicestershire!
Nice design
The Fiero plant was at the end of my street W.Tennyson st in Pontiac Michigan
It’s not only the impact bumper but also headlamps & side lights. In my opinion the BNW 5 series got the worst treatment.
@@edmondocerza4292 ultimately, it’s up to manufacturers to abide by legislation. What was interesting is how after the U.S. moved to 2.5mph impacts/1.5mph offset impacts in 1982, the EU followed suit (except for the offset legislation) later that decade.
Excellent and informative review of a great car. mine is 10 years old , has been above average reliability and still not a single squeak in the interior. Also one correction , this is not the leather interior , its the MB Tex.
Thanks for watching!
That 76 Mercedes 450 is something else. Incredible how these poor European classics were uglified under the safety regulations of the 70s and 80s. Those bumpers are just grotesque . That celica btw is lovely
I don’t mind the impact bumpers. The sealed beams didn’t work on the 116 though.
I _think_ that the X-Type used the Mk1 Mondeo (CDW27) 4WD estate platform as a basis as that was the only Mondeo of the time that was offered 4WD.
That’s correct; known as the CD132 for the X-Type’s application.
I preusme that that's a Ford/Merkur Scorpio a few cars behind you. I've had an '87 Granada Scorpio since 2013 that's now needing a bit of welding and seemingly a head gasket.
Yes, it’s a 1989 Merkur Scorpio. I’ll be producing a video about the car in the spring.
@@AutoAtlantica Excellent.
Sound out of the right channel would be nice !
It’s a problem I have uploading to RUclips unfortunately.
@@AutoAtlantica Ah, OK.
I had a 87 gt and loved it for the m9st part, I had to get rid of it
After doing one Archie conversion, I found it easier to modify the carriage of the donor car to the Fiero. Unfortunately I didn’t document the process.
When a man tells you to drive his car the way you want...respectfully nail it.
@@scottwright388 we drive respectfully on public roads on this channel. The safety of ourselves and other road users is paramount.
@AutoAtlantica with all due respect, you can drive safely and respectfully without endangering anyone.
@ we don’t exceed posted speed limits and always respect the fact we’re in someone else’s car. As I’ve said, we’re not going to put ourselves or anyone else in a potentially dangerous situation on this channel. Any car can be appreciated without driving aggressively.
Is that blue car a Sunbeam Alpine GT ?
@@Jonathan-dq8hb an Alpine, the single carb version.
Nice corvette engine, take this beast to a drag park 😎👍👍
The 3.8 supercharged would have made the Fiero a supercar for the common man. The interior sucked; luv my Lexus SC300.
I have gotten my driver's license in the 2 doors silver 1988 Pontiac LeMans LE went i was in the U S. Navy
I had a brand new 1985 GT and it had the original back on it. There were GT's that didn't have the extended sail panels. Just saying.
Very nice!
Beautiful E24s. I remember back when I was 8, my father looked at a late m635csi. It was a purple with white leather seats. He went for the B12 instead :) thanks for the video
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it! Agreed, beautiful cars.
We also have a used Covid mask hanging off the air pressure gauge in case of another breakout.
Given his health issues in recent years, it’s a wise move.
I’m an outside sales rep that drives three states. I have a Mercedes AMG and I have this car. I can tell you the vehicle is a lot more comfortable and it gets way better gas mileage. I’ve already put on 15,000 miles and there’s not been a problem with the car.
It’s very impressive considering its price point.
Timing belt could be an issue down the road!
@ well at least it won’t cost half o a years salary like my Mercedes did lol
Filmed in Virginia ? What city ?
Piece of junk after driving it 3000 km start having issues and the dealership couldn't find what's the issue that making vibration so directly i sold it
Sorry to hear about your experience!
Most of the dickheads commenting on the ad wouldn't know what a Jaguar was if they were crushed by one.
We had that exact same Roadmaster station wagon. Can't recall those roof racks though. Classic vehicle. Lucky you.
Also put a fresh rebuilt 360 out Cherokee in my CJ7 nothing out of ordinary but what a power difference from the wore out 304 it shredded the t150 3 speed had get another cj pRts one for the t18 four speed brute it was.
You say tricky i say fun.
Probably one of the coolest Fieros I've ever seen.
great review , i purchased a 2024 chevrolet trax in march of 2024 and so far i love it, a few software recalls but they took care if it and i dont put many miles on the car, it does live most of its life in my garage, always clean and cared for here in northeast pa, i have only put 3800 miles on the car so far, and had it serviced at about 3300 miles oil and filter and tire rotation, to be safe, great fuel economy and very comfortable, so i am very satisfied with the car so far, fun to drive and great gas economy, the buick i love also, suscribed to your channel so i will be watching from now on, great job :)
Thank you for watching and thank you for your support!
the volume is very low and only on the left ear
@@XMG3 it’s a problem with uploading to RUclips via its app unfortunately.
Sorry, I just can't agree with your assessment of the XJ40 from a styling point of view. As you say, development started in the 70s and the finished car looks very similar to the prototypes of that era. The Series 3 "face-lift" post-dates those XK40 prototypes and, in my eye anyway, the Series 3 should have been far more in evidence in its replacement. The subsequent X300 and X308 suggest that there were those at Jaguar that felt the same way but were somewhat stuck with the XJ40 as the basis of those cars. If the snippets of the new car that have been released in the last few days are to be believed the new car will owe more to ripping off the Rolls Royce ugly-but-well-built image that works for RR largely because it is well built.
@@ColinMill1 I’m simply referring to the controversy surrounding the XJ40’s debut at the time. Many criticisms were addressed with the X300 refreshed car. I personally like the design evidenced in the illustrations. It’s bold and intimidating, and it needs to be indicative of a completely new start. Many have associated Jaguar with poor build quality and unreliability over the past five decades and I’m glad that’s being put behind them with this reset. It’ll be interesting to see a video of your constructed thoughts on the matter.
@@AutoAtlantica Thanks for the reply. The only way they can reset the build quality and reliability reputation is to start building cars with high standards in that department. Nothing about the current re-brand, or indeed any re-brand can do that - only years of positive customer experience can do that. Talking quality doesn't do it.
@ that’s why they’re not building anything for eighteen months. This is a reset of the entire business. I’m glad it isn’t the apathy which witnessed the demise of Rover.
I think that the XJ40 looks excellent. I think that people had got used to the voluptuous curves of the previous XJs and something a bit more chiselled really suited the mid 1980s IMO. However, cars' styling was going back to being curvacuous into the '90s (Sierra & Granada had already done so but the Cortina & Mk2 Granada were still a very common sight) I remember loving the rear lamps on the XJ40, how they were all one smoked cover when no lights were on. I think Jaguar had to move away from the previous XJ's styling in order to come back to it (with the X300).
Nice place to visit
