Another excellent video! Re. the ex-Peter Sellers Lotus Elan I worked on the pumps as a teenager in my holidays at a garage in Chipperfield, Herts where Peter would fill up his many cars. He lived round the corner at Chipperfield Manor with his first wife before he traded her in for younger models.
Ah Emma !!! , the car was found in the states , before being repatriated for the collection , and it still had the communicator in the glove box ( thanks for the cat suit reminder ! )
Chevrolet Firenza Can Am built by General Motors South Africa to take on the V8 Basil Green Ford Capri Perana's. Using the 302 cu inch 5 liter V8 from the Chev Camaro Z28 Only 100 were ever made. Very few originals survive. They dominated racing and are true legends. An Interesting side note regarding the Z28. I had a 1970 Holden Manaro HT 350 cu inch 4 speed manual in the mid 70's. I was living in the then Rhodesia at the time. I came across a Z28 and decided to have a drag, it blew the Holden's doors off. Only found out after stopping for a chat that is was somewhat modified. Did not feel so defeated then. I sold the Holden in 1980 for an absolute song. I arrived back in South Africa with virtually no money. You were not allowed to take any money out the country, and the car needed 4 new tires. I sold it for the price of the tires and spent that money on a Honda 400 Four. I thrashed the pants off the Holden, it was lethal in the wet, it never gave a moments trouble, apart from a new clutch. I often wonder what happened to it, they are worth a small fortune today.
My choice of three run of the mill cars to take home would be, 1st the Datsun 240 or 260z seen driving round the track. 2nd the blue unmolested 1964 MGB, and 3rd the 1954 Daimler Conquest. Mind you I love the blue convertible Roller. Thank you Richard for the video, always a mixture of cars / motoring memorabilia to cater for everyone's taste.
I like the wider variety. Nice change. As for the MG Midget, me, I would drive it. As with my vintage radios, the were made to be used. That’s just me, though. Great video- as always. 🚗📻🙂
Terrific video RJ. If I had the spare cash Bruce's Roller would be coming home with me. I saw it promoted on the internet previously and it is a really nice car.
What a great video! Thanks, Rick! I had a flat on Holland Road, W14 for years, so walked past the Bristol showrooms frequently. My first choice too. Although prices seemed to me to be all over the place, many of them seemed to be quite reasonable. 35-40k for a Bristol? You bet! Mike

The white unregistered mgb would be nice to use sparingly over ten years in the summer about two thousand miles a year. And change them horrible big bumpers.
Amazing that Jaguar got away with that disembowling animal on the bonnet for so many years, may still be current?, The 2.4 was the stupedist vehicloe Jaguar ever built, logic dictates it had to be an economic failure.
As far as I know the 2.4s sold pretty well, the 2.8 that went into the Series 1 XJ6 though wasn't perhaps the best choice and did suffer reliability problems
@@oldclassiccarUK My take on it is that you had to have two sets of con rods and crankshafts and differentials made plus selling the car for less having a smaller capacity engine, since the bore size was the same [i think] there would have been no saving in registration cost and if you saved a teaspoon of fuel, well who cares, if you could afford a Jag, fuel cost would not have been a consideration. Just a very weird lapse in economic judgement, maybe old Bill was having an off day when he decided to build it.

Looks like a great event must go some time soon, Thanks Bob

Ah Emma !!! , the car was found in the states , before being repatriated for the collection , and it still had the communicator in the glove box ( thanks for the cat suit reminder ! )
My pick is the DB4 GT...Old English White...#96....Proper speed, style and dash .... great walk around....
Thanks Stephen
Great video as usual. Love the tour!
Fantastic video I did not know where to look. Amazing cars great content “Keep up the good work” Well done Rick
Thanks Alan, glad you liked it
Another great video thankyou. Limited mobility at my end so your many shows are my easy/only option of seeing what's out there.
Another cracking video. For me the Bristol 400 and the MG F2 Magna. Both stunning cars 🤩

The Datsun sounded wonderful, such a good looking car too
Excellent video once again OCC 👍👍👍 I'd take home the V8 Firenze and i would use the new MGs if only at weekends. They were built to be driven...
I like the wider variety. Nice change.
As for the MG Midget, me, I would drive it. As with my vintage radios, the were made to be used. That’s just me, though.
Great video- as always.
🚗📻🙂
Thanks Jeff, I try to vary things a bit with these uploads :)
The SS Plus 4's of the 60's had that right sided intake blisters but I hadn't seen a flat rad plus 4 with that feature.
Terrific video RJ. If I had the spare cash Bruce's Roller would be coming home with me. I saw it promoted on the internet previously and it is a really nice car.
Thanks, re the R-R yes - nice to see it to see it, nice
And at 41.13 possibly a Hilllman Imp Engine disguising iyself as a Coventry Climax Fire Pump? For £460?
What a great video! Thanks, Rick!

Glad you liked it, off the top of my head the Bristol was bid to late-20s but didn't make reserve iirc.
👍
the red parked audi 80 was probably danish registered, but not german. we got other lincense plates ✌️
Ah ok, I saw the "D" on the plate and thought German. Thanks for watching.

Great content. Too bad it was interrupted every 2-3 minutes for ads.
Thanks, YT set the placement of the ads in the vid
@@oldclassiccarUK I know, and they are getting worse across the platform.

Écriture en français beaucoup trop rapide , pas le temps de lire dommage
You hate Porsches. Obvious.
I don't much like modern Porsches, but I really like some of the older versions. Thanks for watching.
No thanks. The saloon cars jerking their way around what looked like an ",improvised" track. Not a complaint nor a criticism. Just not for me. ☹
Fair enough! Thanks for checking it out

I had a Marshall tractor with same seat material as the unregistered mgb....
Wow I thought tractors might have had something a little more resilient than that! Thanks for watching.
@@oldclassiccarUK we're talking 1980s don't forget,marshall were using up what they could find
