    You could fill that warehouse up with classic Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Astons, Maseratis etc. and Chris would still make a beeline for the old tractor in the corner while Rob gazes longingly at the XR2. Love it. Never change guys.

    Chris is drawn to the 60's stuff and Rob is drawn to the 80's fast fords. It's all shaped by what we remember as kids

    The D2 Audi S8 is a stone cold classic. All aluminium construction, legendary reliable engine 340 BHP 4WD double glazing, fantastic to drive. Youngest is 22 years old now.

    That Rapier was indeed based on the Hunter. Rootes Arrow series. I had the Hunter 1725 GT in that colour. The Rapier was heavier, and tended to crack the doors around the hinges, and the door skin just behind the front quarterlight.

    When i was a kid my dad had a hillman hunter and we went on holiday in it, my mum left her handbag on the centre console, little did we know at the time, her handbag was on the cigarette lighter and the weight of her handbag held it in for hours and it melted the whole centre console, my dad was not best pleased lol

    It was interesting to see that Ford Cougar (1998-2002 'New Edge') version. It was sold in the USA under the Mercury brand. They used the Ford Contour/Ford Mondeo basic floor and suspension, and a different body. They were all made in a Michigan plant where Mustangs were later and still made. They were not a great seller in Europe. I had a 2000 model with the Ford 2.5 L DOHC V-6 also in silver here in New Jersey, USA.
    Some of those cars were lovely and rare today. I recall a teacher having a 3 door version of that DKW car here in New Jersey at a garage I used to hang out as a kid in the late 1960's-early 1970's.

    I know you guys probably won’t be up for it but I think you should do two separate videos, one for us guys that are in to the 80s/90s stuff by Rob of course and the second one for the real oldies by Chris, I’m not saying you’re old Chris it just a different era, and I know I’d watch an hour of either one of you giving your knowledge and expertise 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

    That Sunbeam Alpine (the one based on the Hunter), will have the smaller 1500 engine and lower trim level, hence those black vinyl seats, not the part faux leather, part nylon cloth ones. Childhood memories of those vinyl seats on a hot day - ouch!!

    Stretching the term “classic” for a few models as Rob said 😂 my Dad and Grandpa had Sunbeam Rapiers in the mid 70’s. The fuel crisis put paid to ours I’m told. I remember loving the frameless doors and rear quarters 😎

  • @islandhopperstuart
    @islandhopperstuart 5 месяцев назад

    Unimog U404: 2.2ltr six cylinder M180 petrol engine, already obsolete when selected for this vehicle in 1955 and, yes, thirsty. Due to it's widespread military use in Europe, probably the most numerous classic Unimog but, unfortunately, the least desirable. Worth more as parts I'm afraid: the portal axles are often used in the build of 4x4 specials.
    Fordson Model N tractor: generally regarded as "The Tractor which Won the War". As Chris said, used with trailed implements. Probably starts on petrol, the switches over to TVO once warmed-up.
