I had and again have my 69BGT, Primrose. I bought it new in 1969 from the factory ($2405 US), drove to North Africa, all around Europe, shipped to the USA, drove it around all summer and sold it. Found the same car 52 years later and again have it in my garage. It had sat in a pole building for ~30 years and took about everything except body and glass. Had a street performance engine built and recently installed and overdrive thansmission.

How does this camera perform in lower light... is there lots of grain ?

Can you please let me know the details for the back rack please.! I couldn't find one online.

Just wondering how you get those external drone shots when you’re driving …amazing!

How does it cost to buy one,

I'm 21 years old and have just bought a 79 MGB GT 1.8. I absolutely love british classics alongside my late 90s Corsa B

Well done on passing your tests 😎👍🏻 I passed a few months ago and also did lessons on an MT07. Apart from power and speed, the balance when doing slow manoeuvres was a real eye opener which makes you question why 125's are the L limit.😮 I sold my Bluroc Legend for £1100, a 22 plate with 4.5k miles. I bought a 16 plate Kawasaki ER6F which is similar in MT07 power. However, after a few months of riding it , doing the type of journeys that I had in mind in the first place (Peak District bimbling) it's too much power 😮 I'd be looking at something smaller capacity, like the Royal Enfield's (350 or 450cc) because real life riding you really can only ride a certain speed anyway and I've no interest in dual carriageway or motorway riding. Funny as I had to respray that brake line bracket and the horn on my Bluroc, the corrosion is bad on them but the bikes look so good 👍🏻 I actually miss it sometimes 😢

Congrats on getting your full licence. I remember going from my Honda CB250RS to a Kawasaki GPZ500S, that was like night and day too. Where I got my licence in the early nineties you could have a 250 cc as a learner. I’d love to have a bike again but it’s been so long I would be quite nervous about heading out on the road again on one now 🤔

Is the exhaust/ sound original?

old english white gt,s look superb

congrats on getting rid of your L plate- and good hunting when looking for your next bike. and, by the way, having 2 is not such a bad idea... bikes tend to multiply in the shed, at least mine do ;) interesting that you, too, found a more powerful bike made life easier: I do remember when I changed from my 50cc 6.25hp Zundapp to a 500cc Honda, a very long time ago. I was surprised how easy many things became just by having a bit of weight under you and a bit of power to help it along.

ok youngsters, i will be 74 in a few months and drive a 2020 Cadillac XT5 to haul my musical gear...about to pull the trigger on a beautiful blue 2003 XK8..56K miles. waiting for a few things to be checked out but it is nice. "nearly" the same wood type and color as a '64 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud i was able to view yesterday. not as much wood, and perhaps not quite as burl as it's 40 year old almost ancestor, but nevertheless reminds me of the British luxury feel and i am hoping to love it.

Gostaria de comprar aqui no Brasil uma Bullit Hero 125

Splendid... bit of the old British spirit alive and well there too!

Thank you for sharing your experiences of the event, clearly the rain didn't dampen you and your families experience to much. I lived in the UK for a good number of years and went to the very first event in 1993, and was a frequent visitor. All the more due to the route I used which was the A272, what a glorious road, with stunning scenery and lovely villages etc. The perfect way to get to the event in a classic car - mine in later years was an MGB GT V8. All the best.

Love your videos, and it will take a lot more effort and time for you to make these than for me to watch them, but I've unsubscribed from other professional RUclipsrs because I don't have time to watch all their content! As someone else commented its quality not quantity. Just really pleased to hear you will continue making videos when you can 🙂

👏 great video. I know what it's like with that rain. We got caught out one year at Car Fest North with the rain. Plus, we had flooded roads to drive through. Luckily we were in the Lotus so just flicked the 007 switch and we sailed on...

You poor things and you made the right decision to leave earlier than planned. Another great vid Mark, thanks. Despite the rain, the vid still captured the whole amazing feel of the event...hope everything has dried off now😊👍

Nice flavour of the event sir. We also did the three days and with hindsight you should have stayed put, as the Sunday afternoon was a real scorcher and we ended up using our brolly as a parasol to keep the sun off us😄. Crazy weather but didn’t spoil the event too much.

Spot the missing apostrophe 🙈

I was always dealing with bad condensers. I put electronic kits on all the brits. I think the kits were about 40 bucks U/S. That was a couple of years ago. Now, I carry a basic tool kit with an extra module . It literally changes on the road in about five minutes. unclip the cap, undo one screw, replace the module, tighten the screw. nothing to gap. But since I've changed them over, I've never had to use my spare module. Thanks for another interesting video. I know it's five years old for you, but it's fresh for me, and I am gleaning lots of knowledge from these videos.

Great cars. I've had six in my time. Not so fast, but very practical both in use, and when repairs are needed.

Hi Mark, I did wonder what had happened to you and I’m glad to see you back and congratulations on passing your bike test. There are only so many plates one can keep spinning at any one time so there has to be compromise. I must say you have far more “toys/projects” than I was able to manage when I was your age with kids and a pretty demanding job. I think the law of diminishing returns comes into play at some point, I sold my bike in May as I just wasn’t using it and had just bought my MGB (now changed for an MGC) plus having the XKR, you can only drive/ride one at a time. You mentioned the members meeting which was great fun this year and I’ve booked my tickets for next year. However I can highly recommend the Spa 6 Hr Classic which was last weekend it’s an absolutely brilliant event over 3 days not overcrowded and at the princely sum of €45! All the cars you see at Goodwood plus additional categories. It’s also a good road trip, probably 600+ miles if you avoid motorways. Anyway keep up the good work. BR David

Nice to see you back! yes, don't pressurise yourself into making content for the sake of it- do it for the right reasons. I used to upload weekly at one time, these days it's more like every three months.. as and when the inspiration is there. As for the Jag, what a car, but if you're not feeling it then let it go- there are still enough of those around that you'd find another if you felt the need. The MG on the other hand, an evergreen classic. I've been in a similar quandary with one of my vehicles- it's a bastard to work on, it needs lots spending, time and effort but after a couple of years umming and ahhing it's a keeper, too many adventures past and too many more to be had. Others I've let go with ease no matter how much I thought I liked them- it's all about the memories and I'd say that MG is way more that than the Jag! Keep burning the petrol..

Mk1s production ran from Oct 65 ( around 10 servive), although a pre production car from around june of that year has been found, finishing in - late 67 ( a couple were registered in early 68 & around 500 mk1 cars only, survive in the UK today!

Good to see the MG back on the road:-) I was playing a ship's captain at Revival this year so much less involved with the drivers :-( Looking forward to your take on it with all that wonderful rain!

Great to see you back Mark and we all agree with you that a hobby should be fun. Don’t feel pressurised, family first and blog second. But what you do produce is fantastic and I for one love your videos. What is the white circular clock looking item next to the choke? 👏👍🏼

Use a piece of paper tissue to find the exhaust leak.....old trick but it works!

Trip to Italy? or is that just my dream drive in my GT

Good to see you are doing OK buddy and passed your bike test. A) Family time comes first. B) Film stuff when you want to, like you said, it's a hobby. C) Me and the rest of your subscribers, looking the comments below mine, are not waiting with baited breath for an upload! It's nice when we get them. D) And most importantly, WTF you even thinking about selling the Jag!!!! E) Read D again! F) Looking forward to seeing what CC Motorbike you opt for. G) Did I mention D? All the best buddy

Always enjoy your channel! Great overtake on the Fabia!

Brilliant to have you back Mark. As so many others have said, the quality of your productions is off the scale. The videography coupled with your skill in the edit make for exceptionally fine films. Obviously, you'll appreciate that I'd like more x100 content, but I always enjoy all of your videos. I personally think you'd regret selling the Jag in the long term, but you must do whatever's right for you and your family. If you do decide to sell though, let me know...(Also, I'd be more than happy to help you out with the thorny problem of all excess of tickets to Goodwood 😉). Whatever you decide, here's to continuing content and hope to see you at a Jag event in the not too distant future.

Great to see you back Mark. I bought a 67 MGB GT a few months ago , and have been very busy catching up (ok, binge watching). There's a wiring harness, dash board, and new mild steel exhaust sitting in my garage. I finally have time, so maybe in a couple of weeks I will be out enjoying mine, also.

American hot rodders use a product we lovingly refer to as "Shine Juice" that is a mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits that sticks to paint and rust and works as a rust inhibitor. It's not a product for show cars (unless you are showing Rat Rods) but it stop rust for some time because it soaks into it. You might try coating in an obcure area and see if it's something you could live with until you are ready to respray. Just a thought. Still love the channel!

Beautiful home! It looks like a huge property! Looks like a great garage to restore a Lotus in... ;-)

Awesome video and update, great content is worth the wait and it was a very nice surprise to see it pop up in the feed! Glad all is well and you've been enjoying the car! 👍

Great to see you back, Mark! And the MG - best colour option. It looks to me like the middle section of your exhaust needs some support back to the chassis, as you have a middle section with two joints unsupported that will put the joints under strain? Just a thought. Ref quantity of videos, you’re exactly right in getting the balance right and is nothing to be ashamed of. When your videos come out is up to you - and they’re great btw!

Great to see another video from you. Appreciate your honesty in explaining why the videos aren’t coming out too often, but I’d say not to stress about it, produce them when you can and for one will always enjoy them! Thank you for producing some interesting content.

Great video! What products do you use when washing your car? Thanks!

So envious of that leaf that hitched a ride 😂 Great to see you back with the B x

So nice to see you back and with updates and showing off your B 😊 Pleased you put the effort in to explain your situation regards family life and work etc. You’re doing the right thing. . . Another quality video as always. Take care x

Great update, you gotta keep the Jag, it’s a stunning car, even if it’s off the road for a few years it makes a beautiful garden ornament! 😄

Totally understand the way life being in the way. Love what you do and your MGB GT is lovely, what a great burble from that exhaust. Your road trips have inspired me to have a go at something similar myself over the autumn, though it'll be a day trip in Wales rather than an over nighter.

Great to see you out and about in your MG again and hope you can find the balance you need in life to continue. All the best Bob

I've been wating for this!

Glad you are back . Love your content ❤

Nice to see you and the car back...

Nice to see you back Mark. Thanks for the new video with your nice looking MGB GT. I recognize the situation you describe. The hobby of classic cars need to be in sync with the reality around; job, family, house and other things. When working under time pressure with your hobby, some of the passion, the fun, disappears. I think you have the right attitude to the videos, producing them in times when it's fun without feeling stressed about it. We viewers are waiting here, and are grateful when you have something new to share about your classics, but take it at your own pace 👍

My 2005 XK8 has an ABS issue as well , not looking forward to the service and MOT but is my baby and I love it Keep doing what suits you not a load of people that either don’t care or don’t have the time or money to do what you do I Subed after your last trip in the Jag , if it’s gone I will still watch what you do , probably skip the bike vids but hey you can’t suit everyone

What's the saying ''Quality, not quantity'' I must admit that some car orientated channels seem to put out too much content and a lot of it is repetitive - 5 things I hate about my car, I bought a cheap car and it's broken etc. but your are always refreshingly straightforward and honest Mark
