    "Restore where you can, replace where you must"
    Anyone involved in the old car scene would do well to heed this advice. Well done.

    Thank you Petrolicious for not making another paid host do a video. But every once in awhile that's cool but to have true people who either own or work on cars talk for themselves is the best recipe. Thank you lovely video

    The world needs guys like this no matter what country or whatever brand they specialise in we need to be able to see these historic master pieces to remind us where we come from before the electric domestic cars take over the world in the near future

      combustion is a natural phenomenon which man has managed to exploit with cobbled together contraptions, ultimately failing to produce anything remotely sustainable, as he poisons his own habitat. just like the stupid rodents that shit and piss over their own food.

      I can promise you the pay checks for this kind of work are plenty good enough. I have a pre war Bentley there is no such thing as a poor renovator. They are great at what they do but it’s definitely not charity work.
      To give you an idea a rebuild is around 50,000.

    if you look up the word ART in the dictionary, it describes an expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in visual form, to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. I agree with this fully when you look at vintage cars, planes or machinery. not just the visual aspect but the noise, the smell the feel, the sensation when you drive, fly or operate. In my opinion, To be ART is to feel emotion, the era of beautiful cars has gone I feel, things are created to fill a need or market demand rather than to stimulate, there are too many rules and regulations nowadays. Watching petrolicious videos gives me hope, that the ART will one day return and make us feel the true emotion of the internal combustion engine wrapped in a beautiful shell.

    🤣😂🤣😂🤣Well Mr Ewen Getley at the Kingsbury Racing Shop wartime RAF Facility...? The Bently Brand belongs to the '''Volkswagen Group''' since 1998 when it went bust! And the VW Group have ''ree kindeled'' the Bently Brand to what it has become tooday, I respect the Bently Brand and meny other Brands two, but you shuld get your facts right and stop sipping ''internet'' yarns if you consider your self a Automotive engenieer and War Historian, to be on the Petrolicious web blog...? Let my ''rectifiy you and your empire'' on ''Aircraft engines'' during World War I, the ''Hispano-Suiza'' was the Nº 1 Airo Engine Built during WW I...? Hispano-Suiza piston aero-engines were the dominant engines in the war and produced by Hispano-Suiza in France, Spain, and '''under licence''' in the ''United Kingdom'', the United States and Russia from the First World War through to the 1950s. Development of these engines started with the very successful V-8 engines which introduced many new features which ensured the success of the Hispano-Suiza line. and that is the history of WW I airo engines built in Britain toled to you By a Republican Scot!! Free Scotland!! 💯Form your Aurocratic unionist Lies🤮🤮.... 🎱

    Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my RUclips channel that I will be starting in the next couple months...The first project is w the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....
