Absolute nostalgia overload there. I was born in the late 1950s, so was a young passenger in several jelly mould GB cars, one or two with column change. I even got to drive one when I became of age to drive. The bench seat, the turn signals on the steering boss, the whine of the gears on the overrun, the pull starter, the pistol grip handbrake. And in this particular setting, the wee whimpering doggie and the two upturned blue hooped mugs on the lower tray. I was looking for a flask at one point. Yep, you certainly hooked me with this video, and I'm an electric car enthusiast. But I don't forget engineering of the past.
Very nice, just got to love the simplicity, something very soothing about the engine sound I found, real characteristics something you don’t find with the modern robotic cars these days.
This was brilliant. Joshua, do try the column change on a Citroen DS (I know it's not British!) if you get a chance. The manual change cars have a really slick shift, and the semi-automatics are a trickier and at the same time a huge amount of fun. Right - I'm on to your next video. Love the way you presented this.
This is a very good video I drive a rover p4 and are 60 its great to see young people interested in old cars can you divulge where you took the video also I like the hat |keep up the good work Steve
A question for you, did the 4 speed pattern differ for manufacturers? I may be wrong but I seem to recall on an old Humber Super Snipe that first gear was away from the steering wheel & up, 2nd down, 3rd towards you & up, 4th down.

It's a very simple and easy video to learn even though you were used to the other normal gears besides column. I have clearly understood it. Thanks
Nice descriptive video. Nice car, looks like an original interior.
Very good video. You described it well and put it into practice even better.
This is 3 years ago but the camera feels like 1990

This is my dad's old car! Do you still own it, so nice seeing it's still going 😍
THANK YOU LOVE YOU HEAPS
What a brave dog!
Is this the same car that HubNut (Ian) drove?
Great upload it seems weird seeing a young man driving an old classic.
Gosh that car is sweet!
This is a very good video

Thanks Steve, the video was shot at an old RAF base at Tywyn, Wales.
I honestly always assumed these cars you see in the movies had sequencial gearboxes. I didn't think it was still H pattern shifting
Is this a Morris Minor 1000?

THE YOUNGER GENERATION THE IGNORENT HAVE DESTROYED SHAPE OF CAR STOPED MAKING THE GEST AUTOMATIC THE 3 SPEED
