A beautiful car but please learn how to engage the crash first gear without crunching it.....slide the gearlever slightly back towards second, then forward into first. No crunch!!

My first car.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi wonderful film ❤ do you know where I could find a roof rack for like yours for my prefect thanks

I was thinking of getting a roof rack too. Not sure how strong the gutters are on these cars but they look nice with one fitted.

Nice car.

I'll have to go camping in mine

Nice job on the engine. Amazing that you tore the car down to that extent and managed to rebuild it. Unfortunately, some cars dismantled like that never see the road again. Good job.

Very similar sounds to driving the E494A Anglia I owned a little while ago 👍

Lovey drive, thanks

Wow that gorilla is so cool

Nice music, but too much of it. I wish we could hear how the car sounds.

Creepy no way I would drive in that thing alone at night

Spooky!

Maybe she is related to a rolls-royce Ghost.

Draught beer?

Rear view mirror on a strange night might have it lookin at you 👻👽👹🙈

Car wobbled alright, must have been heavy for a ghost 😂

😳lol looks like your car is haunted 👻

I miss my RM.

Hi Wobble, lovely car.

So what make is it ,Oh its on the back its a GB 😂😂❤

👍

Thank you - any chance of a closer look at the fuel filler locking cap and fittings - I guess its been converted ??

Plugs Sooty (due to cold starts and short shunts never reaching running temp to burn off. Typical winter blues) and wire brush Sweep won't solve for long. Do you remember the old sandblast cabinets most garages had for cleaning spark plugs? The reason for sand blasting was to clean deep inside the plug body where a wire brush will not reach and clean all the carbon/soot off the centre insulator which was white porcelain as well as cleaning the contacts. Carbon is an excellent conductor and the spark can track down the outside of the centre contact to earth on the body of the plug rather than sparking between the exposed contact gaps when under compression. So sometimes checking the spark outside the cylinder can give a false impression all is well. Modern silicon carbide blasters are available quite cheap if you have a normal air compressor. This not only gets rid of any internal tracking problem but also makes it much easier to spot if the centre insulator has a crack. Want to see Mr Riley start first flick of the starter every time.

Sorry My Fault You were wire brushing the plugs and I said (to myself) "You mean !!** buy some new plugs" just as I said that you caught the wire brush in your jumper. In future I will keep my comments to my self quietly.

Nice set of metal badges to mince up pedestrians

S.U.pumping away.

If it has a mechanical fuel pump I've found that my RME likes to be hand primed first to get the fuel up which will make it start easier and save the battery.

Good to see people caring for classic cars, they are the survivors from the era they were created and a glimpse into the tech and styling of the time. For 1952 that is an old design though, just shows what WW2 did to UK manufacturing even into the early 50's. Nice car.

Nice ,great eye candy car👍

Really nice classic motor John. ❤❤❤

lose the infernal badge bar.

I wonder why it didn't start more easily. It took quite a while before it first fired.

Recalling our next- generation Popular suffered in my childhood as a parental reaction to the early 1970s fuel crisis also still had the comedy slow uphill vacuum wipers.

I'm drooling with jealousy, covetousness, and various other emotions. Oh, how BEAUTIFUL this was, and what a queen she looked, especially next to all the modern tin cans on wheels. I shall go on dreaming.

Done my prep., now all I need is my RMF.

This looks great

Wow, what a beautiful elegant car 😍 great job!! I can almost smell that interior from here 👍🏻

She had the kiss of life.may she live long Sir

Amazing what you have achieved, and a lovely drive down through Cheddar Gorge. Take care 🙂

Just a heads up. I got a badly strained wrist many years ago courtesy of a Morris 8E when it backfired. I was trying to start it with a starting handle and not keeping my thumb along side my finger instead I had it round the handle.Ouch1

Cor, takes me back. My dad had a 48 prefect with the headlights separate to the wings., I think Channel Green (light colour). Took our family of four everywhere Including holidays to Cornwall in the late 50s early 60s. Where on earth did we put all the luggage? lol

My first car was a 1948 Prefect painted olive green used to rock in strong wind due to cross springing.🙂

When my dad bought a car for me to drive to school in Boulder, Colorado 1959, he said it was a '49 model. The badging said "Prefect" but it had left-hand-drice (built for export to the United States). It had a bumper sticker on it that said, "It wasn't Sanforized." The slow operation of the windshield/windscreen wipers really brought back memories!

Sounds lovely when the turbo kicks in! 😁

It always amused me when I was a kid, Dad had several mates that owned Prefects, you opened up that big bonnet behind that impressive grille and there's this little side valve lump cowering in the engine bay, With an old car or motorcycle you'll always have friends.

Wonderful video

wonderful stuff you're going to make that Brummy accent popular x love from Lancashire

Ford in the post-war era never envisaged the future impact of wind tunnel testing by the owner-driver....commiserations!

Seen everything in her long life
