What a great meeting with the most interesting assortment of early racers. In 1971 I went to Montlhery to a sports car race. It was a magic circuit the banking was in full operation and there was no better sight than the Matra Simca 670 v12 at full chat. I will always remember it screaming at full speed on the far side of the circuit made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!

That's awesome cool.

Everybody should have one! mine came from a local farm, it had been left outside for 50 years unused, the magneto was rotted in half as was the fuel tank, 10 days later with some used bits he lived again.

Handle for implement lift for rotavator

Great machine is this the one was for sale few years ago ime after a mk4 to finish my set brilliant😊

Hope you get the old engine going. Just would fit the look so much better

What an awesome bit of family history! It's great to see you're bringing it back to life again.

Adorable

Well done. Nice garage helps.

Just paint the full filter a flat black ! It will blend in

wonderful video please put chainguard in cockpit

the beast of turin start procedure is just like my 1939 Farmall F230 tractor dont forget to retard ignition or get vicious kickback at start handle

What happened to radio boxes- FFR

what about tag/license/registrattion/insurance?

brilliant! great film!

Interested in where the leak is. Did you put a gasket/ exhaust sealant between the downpipe and header? I did that same job on a different vehicle (replacing the stud) and it is a bit annoying. Also it makes things much more time consuming and difficult but I've had to split the intake and exhaust and had to install them separately to get a good seal. Late 70's Honda prelude comes to mind if I remember correctly, on the backside of the engine facing the firewall. Only about three inches to work with, God that was horrible.

1. There's nothing wrong with your bearing press. I like it. 2. Loving caresses of Land Rover Parts ought to be done behind the scenes. People won't understand. 🙂

Howdy. If you see this question: can you say anything more about that spacer you fitted under the slave cylinder? why was it needed, and thickness etc? Cheers.

Watching with interest: Last weekend I did exactly what you show here ( But mine is a Truck Cab Series 2 mostly) so didnt fight with a roof. Had Exactly the same Battle with floor and seat boxes. Got my S2 Box out in about 4 hours. ( No Crane) ....

Good job getting the Grafton moving again. I would say your innovations and methods reflect what a cyclecar owner may have done back in the day to keep his machine operational. What's that sleeping behind the Grafton?

I would never have thought it was something like a collet to hold the drive gear in place. Actually a really neat design.

How do you even find a cycle car like that?!?!? Creeped around the vscc a while but not seen anything the like for sale.

I love seeing the way the rear wheels are held onto the shaft. Thanks for a great video. I hope the key and keyway holds.

Great to see you both moving again! But I want something like that to take out for rides in the summer, I need it! But then I remember that I live in Sweden, and summer is the hottest day of the year... Well, I can still dream.

Aw, missed a chance to show us the headlight on. But excellent work as always, I thoroughly enjoy this series!

Brilliant, well done you. Looks and sounds great Always a sense of achievement when it works

Improvise and overcome! Great to see you've got her running again and plan to return to original as and when possible.

Thank you for this video. I like this old cycle car, I think for this beauty, you need Cooper fuel line and filter !!.

Great stuff. Although I spotted loads of stuff that I managed to miss!

Excellent video. Fantastic cars and sounds. The CanAm cars are and were truly what we call here “Ground-pounders”. Love those cars especially the later 1973 Shadows. Thanks for posting. Cheers from Texas.

I just about expected to see 'Flintstone' brakes.

so very cool! needs more funny horn honking!

Wonderful gathering, thanks for sharing

are there breaks only on the rear wheels? operated by hand, not a leg pedal?

Excellent 👏🏽👍🏽🍾🥂😉

That's the best video coverage of this event I've seen: lots of weird and wonderful machinery, great access, nice weather. Was that Tim Gunn's latest cyclecar build rolling by? Thanks for bringing us along, Eddie.

Fantastic. And €20 !

Love your Landy!

That is a fantastic absorbing little motor. Love the carburettor. One step up from blowing petrol through a straw - ha! Good luck with getting the transmission sorted.

Used cars lasted longer back then. I want one!

Very cool car, my family bought an amish wagon back in the 70's, ive been wanting to put a engine on it just for fun!😂

Total loss oil system? If so it is simple. And works.

Brilliant work

Engine seems reliable for its age.

Could try Aspen fuel which I believe doesn't go off like standard petrol does. Expensive though.

Hot start spray?

Been thinking about a Roamerdrive for my Series 3 for a long time now. Did you have to import it from Canada yourself?

The shim was there for a reason and it's moved. It doesn't look like you put the shim back in its place before you tightened it down. Questions would be. Is the shaft original? Why was the shim there? Is the shaft narrower there than the rest of it?

I would have expected a key of some sort to transfer drive from the gear to the shaft. If not, you could modify it. You could drill through the gear and shaft and insert a pin.
