    Hi Tim. You did a wonderful video. I started working with Miles on his cars in 1968 while still at school and helped tow them till 2019.
    We got 150 cars to his land above Bathurst by 1974.
    He was a busy boy !
    Most of those cars were sold to buy his first real estate business.

      Thanks very much for your comment! Yep lots of treasures there, but we'll have to thin it out a bit so its a bit more sustainable (as much as I would love to keep it all!). We've already started on getting a few of them going, some more videos of that soon! :)

    I knew Miles back in the late 60's, he was the local Estate Agent. I was a young kid pumping fuel on weekends, he had an account at the Service Station...he used to drive in with an old fire engine...remember him well.

    To Miles sons and partner Mary. I wondered why I hadn’t had a ph call from Miles for a long time so I searched and found that he had past away last year. I’m Gay Goodman and I first met Miles in 1972 when he visited NZ for a car rally. He was a awesome man and we always kept in touch. I did meet you boys years ago when you were little. Please accept my sincere condolences to you all, I just wish I had known sooner. He has sure left you all with a lot to sort out ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    On the double decker bus step @ 19:20 I believe is a Cylinder Record Player. It looks like it is missing its "reproducer" which would track with the arm along the bar as the record rotated on the spinning cylinder. It is probably early 1900s to the mid 1910s, by then flat disc record players had taken over. There should be a spot for a crank, and they came with lids. FYI. It looks like it's in good shape, albeit dusty. 33:45 could be the horn for the Cylinder or another record player. 34:00 You are holding a Cylinder record in its case!! (The records needed them as they are quite fragile). Cheers, Jon

    • @classicregister

    • @jonathanlong3063
      @jonathanlong3063 11 месяцев назад

      Glad I could help!! You probably have all of the bits to put it back together. Should be a crank, a wooden lid, a small "reproducer" that runs on the record that would fit in the arm opening. One of those curved horns should (or may have) a connection to the reproducer. The record would slide onto the horizontal cylinder that is under the arm. (Don't push it on too hard, I have broken records that way). There should also be some kind of bracket that would hold the horn up. I've had a few of those sets over the years and they are great fun. Often a bit of cleaning and oiling the mechanicals is all that's needed to bring it back to life. What parts I could see looked to be dusty but in good shape. .... Sorry you lost your Dad, I lost mine also. He left you with quite an interesting (and I think fun) project, a giant puzzle, getting all of those bits and pieces put back together. Great collection!! Cheers from New Hampshire, Jon@@classicregister

    Amazing accumulation. Thanks for posting! For the record, that Renault 4CV is from early 1949 not 1952. It is the quite rare early R1060 model, known in Australia as the Renault 760. It was superceded in about September 1950 by the Renault 750, the R1062 version of the 4CV. The car in the collection might either have been assembled in Sydney or fully imported. Looks nice and unmolested from the little we could see. What a video!!

    The Silver Merc Cabrio came from BH car club?? I have worked on two different cabrios which came from there,and possibly sold around the same time your dad bought his. One,a green cab, is gorgeous and belonged to Richard O'Brian of Rocky horror Picture show fame. The other was a total wreck and was shipped to latvia for a Full resto. The Engine in your Dads is a six (M127) and with the four speed manual is quite a good performer. I'd be guessing but I'd say that the Silver cab is like the other two and were actually from England ,not the USA. 😁😁
    Those things with the rubber rollers are mangles, used for squeezing water out of your clothes when washing them. Wringer was another name ,so if you got your hand mangled or wrung out,it was because they went through the mangle.

    • @classicregister
      @classicregister  Год назад +2

      Hey thanks for your comment - I realised I mis-described the engine when I reviewed the video before uploading but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to re-record it correctly. This one needs a bit of work (has some dodgy floor pan repairs by the look of it), but came directly from BHCC California in 2021 from. Must have been a north east car originally telling from the rust repairs it's had.. a big project but a very worthwhile one. I'll see if I can dig up some more history on it - I've got the full import file with old papers going back decades for it so will see what I can find in those :)

    My mates mother had an Aussie imported Mini K, we live in NZ. I've never seen another like it. The paint was called Calypso red or orange. Can anyone out there confirm they made a K model? It was nothing flash with the slider windows etc and had the 998 engine but it was as quick as her later model clubman she traded for the K.

    @lezbarker2673 11 дней назад

    Here in early 2025. Hope you sold the cars. I wish I’d seen this when it came out I would have jumped on the Charger. My daily driver is a 1965 Chrysler Valiant AP6 Aussie made and I love it. I run my AP6 on unleaded you just use the highest octane and never put ethanol in an old car. Those 60”s and early 70’s Mercedes were awesome cars my Pops best mate had one and as a 7 year old in the 80’s sitting in the back seat it felt like a huge tank and I loved it. People need to get into these older cars because the crap coming out today is just a joke. I will not use my wife’s new 2022 Nissan and it’s now over three years old and cost 50k new I bought my AP6 about 10 years ago for 13k put 5k into it over the years and now it’s insured for 45k and is worth more than the wife’s car now. I could give it away for 30k tomorrow if I needed the money but I’ll never sell it. My dream car is the 1972 VH R/T Charger with the square headlights. Had a chance to buy a newly restored vitamin C one in 2014 for 70k but I umed and arred about it until it was sold and now that car is worth 300k and I just kick myself at least once a week for being a dickhead. I must admit I didn’t have all the money but mummy would have lent me the extra money but I hated to ask. It made more money than house in 10 years but I wouldn’t have sold it and also I’d probably be too scared to drive it with all these terrible drivers out on the road these days. Still what I’m getting at is buy a classic car because they usually go up in value while all new cars go down in value fast especially if you’re dumb enough to by an EV 😂 you can’t give them away new and second hand, forget about it 😜

      Smart move Philip - it's a lot to deal with. The biggest risk when people leave these things is that others may not know what's actually there, and its true value.. Thankfully, I've always been involved with his collection so most things I'm across.. But there are things I've found that look valuable, but I don't know what they are!. I'm trying to be as diligent as possible as we look through things :). A long job!

    PS: Nice contents, but problems continue to exist with misleading ad contents, that neutral audiences might find very offensive.
    Although not necessarily agreed to by content originators or the programs those appear connected with randomly, such as disparaging political ads by a former president seeking illegal overturning of his last loss, etc. And or his (trump) attack ads which slam former non-convicted holders of the Office of President of the United States, are still shown in bad form and likely are illegal.. (These continue to be added to your video contents, even after reporting to google + RUclips.) ~Thanks!
