Two thumbs way up for adding all of the descriptive information pop ups. There's so many videos of who knows what, because they didn't bother to even list of vehicles name. Well done and very appreciated thank you
Back in the mid 1970's I drove with a colleague to Capel Curig in North Wales to buy a Jaguar XK150S and drove up a farm lane to a large barn full of beautiful classic vehicles. The seller was Owen Wyn Owen who then proceeded to show us a project he was working on restoring Babs amongst his many other projects. The cylinder heads were off and the exposed cylinders were the size of flower pots. At the time he was trying to recover a similar liberty engine from a swamp in Florida for spare parts. Not bad for a lecturer at Bangor University!!
What I find utterly compelling about these cars is how unbelievably cantankerous those huge old engines were (I simply cannot imagine flying an aircraft powered by such unreliable, by modern standards, engines). Yet, when they run, they produce so much torque that they'll strip the teeth off the gears in the most durable gearboxes. I imagine, if you know what you're doing, running one of these big engines must be frustrating and rewarding in equally huge measure. Certainly, they won't leave you feeling indifferent!
Most of them run so much better when they're installed in aircraft. I can't put my finger on why some of these engines in the cars are left so poorly tuned
@@jetstream454 The flight logs and memoirs of air crews who flew aircraft powered by these kinds of engines, generally speaking, reflect just how often they suffered engine trouble. Engine reliability was an issue even in WWII, though it isn't much heard of, since air crews had more pressing issues at hand, like being shot at, and that generally steals the limelight. On every raid, a certain percentage of aircraft turned back with mechanical trouble before reaching the target. And, knowing old engines, no matter how well you tune them, they fall out of tune quite readily for a myriad of reasons. So i wouldn't be too hasty to blame the owners for poor maintenance.
@@ElBach1y In most cases that's quite true. What i was alluding to was the adaptation of such engines to automotive use. Breaking gearboxes in that application with them is a recurrent theme.
Always a good sign when - the driver's seat looks like an airplane cockpit - the exhaust belches out meter-long flames you can barbeque sausages with - the engine sounds like it's about to take off
Babs has long been a favorite of mine since reading Ken Purdy's article on the car's excavation, called appropriately "The Day They Dug Up Babs". It's a fun read and that car... oh how that car never gets old!
Some of the informations are wrong. The Beast of Turin has no aircraft engine and Brutus has a displacement of 47 liters (46,93) and was built between 1998 and 2006 and not in the Fifties.
@@unclerobert7532, see, that’s why Wikipedia isn’t a fully trustworthy source for information. I read the English article and it is absolute crap. How could have Brutus been built shortly after WW II when the Technik Museum Sinsheim, that built it, was founded in 1981.😉
The informationabout V12 engines was amazing. I learned so many things that I never knew before. I had to replay it a few times to fully understand the masses of information that was given.
There was a guy who built a car with a P38 engine as the power source . . . it could be heard all over our small town when he took out the garbage where it was stored! 👍👍😘
Go look at Jay Lenos collection, a couple of Merlins, Hispano Suizas etc. As for Beast of Turin,,, Duncan actually races that at Goodwood and it is not super slow. And drives it to the track. And scares everyone on the Goodwood hill.
Nice seeing the Aussie built Final Objective again! Such an awesome car with fantastic details... The airbrush work is amazing!!! And from memory, made road legal in Victoria lol
I love how way back then they were just like...okay what if we just swap out the regular engine for a plane engine?...and everyone else just immediately agreed
Hearing Protection anyone. ? Naw, we are British. WE across the Pond Yanks love these things. We put them in our Hydroplanes. Sir Malcolm had a couple of rides without wheels/ powered BY???. He flew across the Water. That was cool. Jay Leno has a Garage full of COOL.
I think it's heartwarming to see old engines being repurposed and put to work again
OMG. The flames... and the smoke... and the noise... insane! Love it!
Thanks, pls share!!!
That Fiat is amazing! A four banger with the displacement of a RR Merlin! Let that sink in a moment.
😮😮😮😮😮😮

Nice, thank you Sir 👍
It’s insane to see these absolute monsters of machines running and doing it well. I could watch this video a dozen times and not get bored.

lovely drive, would highly recommend 👍😎
I like brutus
Yes, most of us like BRUTUS, the iconic vehicle built from aircraft engine.
I like the last car wrecked and buried for 40 years!
A very expensive to run rotisserie bbq.

they weren't going through a gearbox in the plane, propeller was bolted straight

@@ElBach1y He was talking about car gearboxes, but on that note often those big planes had gear reduction propeller shafts.
Something about these cars sound cooler than even modern supercars
Exactly, some classic cars are cooler than today's cars.
My upvote is the old codger doing john force style burnouts in the red car. Everyone else is putting. He’s giving er’ the beans.
I have seen the brutus (not running), i already took a look in the cockpit. I already was at the Sinsheim Musuem, its a nice car
Yes, that right!
Yes, it's a great car, and the name fits .
I’ve been at speyer and Sinsheim. It’s great really massive.
The more our government pushes us to electric vehicles, the more I feel I need one of those 47Litre aircraft engines in my car.
WAS FÜR EIN GEFÜHL. VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...
I just love how massive they all are while having less cargo and passenger space than a Kia Rio
you were lucky enough to find room for wallet and house keys in the cockpit ;)
Always a good sign when
- the driver's seat looks like an airplane cockpit
- the exhaust belches out meter-long flames you can barbeque sausages with
- the engine sounds like it's about to take off
Thanks for putting this video together. That was a lot of fun to watch.
Thank you Sir, hope you enjoy and please share if possible🙏

Absolutely awesome. I bet the eco-green loons are spitting feathers over this one. Hope so!
Thank you, nice 👍
I always love to see a V12 Merlin in a car. It just makes me happy.
Perfette per la transazione ecologica 🤣👍
Wszystkie maszyny są niesamowite ale największe wrażenie robi na mnie Fiat s76 po prostu no jest Bogiem to jest potwór potęga i tyle pozdrawiam
How you can't love these amazing cars !?
Yeah 🙌

Wrong,brutus was built in the fifties check Wikipedia page of brutus
@@unclerobert7532, nope! de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutus_(Experimentalfahrzeug)
@@paddycore8985 you have the German page ,i read the English page not German , two different pages of Wikipedia

the most beautiful and beautiful demonstration of brute force. . in the simplicity of a car.
Beautiful and great to see still working. And in the UK ULEZ free!!
Flames shooting out the sides. Seems safe. Let’s go for a ride😂
Wow! Nice views! And HPs noice!!
The Beast Of Turin is my favorite.
Yeah, me too and The BRUTUS more!
You and me both. It just sounds right, not like the rest of these clown cars...
3:53 nice!

BMW BRUTUS ,what a beast of a car
128mph with chain drive is insane
Hier ist der Punkt, wo ich mir Geruchs RUclips wünsche
Tolle Maschinen ♥
Such beautiful motor cars. Long may they keep ticking over.
There was a guy who built a car with a P38 engine as the power source . . . it could be heard all over our small town when he took out the garbage where it was stored! 👍👍😘
00:03 D day be like
Brutus 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, Brutus is so unique!
0:30. Love that chain-drive with the giant sprocket!
😁,☺️👍🏻👍🏻,Good..Beautiful Antik..
hola Buen video amigo👌
⭐⭐⭐
Go look at Jay Lenos collection, a couple of Merlins, Hispano Suizas etc.
As for Beast of Turin,,, Duncan actually races that at Goodwood and it is not super slow. And drives it to the track.
And scares everyone on the Goodwood hill.
Jay leno has some crazy beasts
The Goodwood footage of The Beast's appearance with other large displacement early racers makes for compelling viewing.
Want the Beast of Turin as my daily driver!
These cars rock
Great for picking the kids up from school!
the Bentley's are CRAZY beautiful
Beautiful machines.
It's like watching Mad Max.😁
Nice seeing the Aussie built Final Objective again! Such an awesome car with fantastic details... The airbrush work is amazing!!! And from memory, made road legal in Victoria lol
Yes, was fully street legal in Victoria. but I think Rod was the only one allowed to drive it.🙂
I would imagine someone in the Victoria MoT must have been a fan.
Napier- Bentley is the coolest toaster on the planet.
Даешь гонки Лондон Мехико 😊😊😊
Brutus featured in an episode of Top Gear racing against a car with a non supercharged Merlin engine. Both were great cars.
Oui alors la super l'échappement libre sur cette machine top geer
Чудо техники! Красавцы!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe.
Perfact Sound, 기갑 보직이었던 군인들은 눈물을 흘립니다
The second one is just pure monster
Excellent video
Thank you so much and please share 🙏
Wurstel and lead....very good!
That was great to watch!
Thank you, hope you enjoy 😀
リアルチキチキマシン猛レース！！かっちょ良い！
Love the Railton powered one. You can show off to ya mates and cook lunch at the same time
Ikr . A bit like DJ John Peel's spiffing idea of a combined bidet and dish-washer . 🤣
Could you PLEASE Show the texts at least 5 seconds longer? It really takes the joy of the video
Pause it, read, continue, then watch it from the beginning ignoring the text.
loveeee, perfect
I love how way back then they were just like...okay what if we just swap out the regular engine for a plane engine?...and everyone else just immediately agreed
Nice
Some of these cars sounded awesome in my headphones 🤘
Oh Nice! Yes, only headphones can help us feel in deep!
The clasiic CAR....
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️Ilikke..keren
Thank you, please share!
Impressive, this is not just a car. But this is a masterpiece 👍
Exactly Sir, not only as a car but these amazing creations look like some artworks 👍
7:42
The size comparison between what I believe is Fangios Maserati 250F from 1957 and whatever that behemoth that it’s passing
This proves there was a time when cars were fun.
And drivers deaf .
I feel cheated with today's Corolla's : (
As well you should. 😁
Totally badass!
Amazing. Thx
Wow bad ass drifting for those old girls
im a new sub loved liked shared and very very coooool ! :D
Thank you so much 👍
Am here watching vintage do a powerslide even a bit.. with a thin skinny tyre
Das ist so geil 👍😁❤️🇩🇪
You just have to be a car bloke to understand. Absolute beauty. Imagine 170+ mph in the babs. fkn terrifying
How many miles to the gallon?
Ans.: Who cares?
Luggage space?
Ans.: Who needs it?
it would be a sight to behold seeing those land speed record cars at their top speed
Hardcore💪😁
5:20 - bruh, this smoking man got me 😂
The beast of Turin did not have an airplane engine
We're the fire extinguisher
Hearing Protection anyone. ? Naw, we are British. WE across the Pond Yanks love these things. We put them in our Hydroplanes. Sir Malcolm had a couple of rides without wheels/ powered BY???. He flew across the Water. That was cool. Jay Leno has a Garage full of COOL.
I like the idea of using the exhaust flames as indicator lights :)
Stick out yer arm of to see if the engine is running. Brilliant video.
Thank you
Love ❤
thank you
Nice video let down by the small text that flashes by too fast to read entirely.
Amazing! 10/10
Thank you 👍
5:40 The size of the steering wheel in these beasts is quite sobering. My guess is the steering linkage didn't provide much mechanical advantage!
Those huge steering wheel look beautifull, and must feel amazing to use, they replaced steering assistance for no cost !
Very nice engines
That's right, maybe these engine were invented for rebuilding.
Ah the days of external combustion engines! ;-)
I liked the video and gave it a thumbs-up, however there were several spelling mistakes in the otherwise informative descriptions.
0:34 This part sounds like a recording of a neutron star.
Insane vehicles
I think the good cylinder volume is like the rock star age, at least 27 !
Ok 👌
Cool!
Thank you 👍
🔥
Fantastic
Thank you 👍
Sublime.
This is one of the badass era of cars
