I had an entire book written, but my phone glitched, so I'm just going to say that Malcom's got some neat cars, especially the TR7.👍
What a fine collection! I've not seen such import finery!
I’m agent 1959 😎🎶🤫👍🏻✌️
Scotts sliding scale for classic cars:
1. She's mint!
2. She's a bit rough around the edges.
3. She's a tired old girl.
4. She's a bit "partsie",
5. She's a perfect static display model.
😉👍
Yes. And "partsie" is a new term for CWM as well
you forgot "she's seen better days" 🤣😂
"She's pretty crunchy" should be somewhere on the low end of that scale.
What about “welding project”?
Name that junker..
"Harvest Gold" is the correct paint color on the stove, in case you are going to do the total restore! Great show!
In Canada it would be Neil Young singing Harvest Moon.
Mom had all Harvest Gold appliances back in the '70's. Think my grandparents had chocolate brown appliances by then and they booted the old '53 Westinghouse down the basement to become the beer fridge. I salvaged it when they passed, and eventually located all the missing shelves throughout the house. That old fridge is now in my basement and has been in continuous use for the last 70 years!
Harvest Gold: a popular British Leyland colour. Many many cars turned out in this paint.
You don’t see free range stoves in the wild very often these days.
Could be a chicken inside.
@@andyfloyd8583 a free range chicken?
Actually, it's a free range range.
Austin Gypsies are fantastic four wheelers but outsold by the land Rovers . The wagon was a Hilman hunter / Sunbeam or in Iran , a paykan . The Austin America is a 1300 ,smaller than the landcrab .
The Vauxhall envoy is a VX490 in the UK etc
Those were so common when I was a kid, 1960's Toronto. Winter & salt just devoured them, then they were gone. My first trip to Vancouver in the early 80's, should have been gobsmacked by the Rocky mountains, but what freaked me out, they still had British cars. "So what do you think of the view?" "Unreal, I haven't seen an Austin like that since I was a kid." Obviously the sad bastard disease.
Yes. Exactly how I remembered Vancouver for the first time... I had maybe seen one Porsche in my life and here were Porsches and Jags and Mercedes and Peugeots and cars that almost no one in Edmonton owned... And early 70s Plymouth cabs into the mid 80s... Sad bastards for life.
I think that’s the record for the number of cars I’d never seen before over a twenty minute span! Thank Malcom for tour - see you Saturday!
You always find old stuff that needs a bit of work in sheds... I guess that applies to me too. Cheers
Hidden in a shed--someone cared to get it out of the weather, but not that much!😆
@@glennnickerson8325 😆
Thanks to Malcolm for showing you around. He has some well preserved examples of early British iron. To me, it's strange to see British cars with left hand drive 😅
Thanks Scott for an entertaining show.
You have an interesting group of friends, Scott. What an eclectic collection of vintage British motor cars. Thanks for letting us be there, too!
You know I received a complete derelict of a A30 sedan (same color as this one) from my firend's junkyard. We cut it in half and fun fact: The rear was used to build a storage for liquor and glasses by someone else. It took me weeks to stabilise the body with steel bars so I could turn it into the front of the Wallace and Gromit mobile out of the film "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit".
I put some lights and a movement sensor. When someone came near our front door, the little car's headlights lighted up.
Now the vehicle has completely detoriated again. Once I will have the energy, might fix it up a bit. My son who is somehow like "Rainman" loved it so much. That is the reason why I did that.
I love that grill of the A 50: I remember that in 59 there was a very early Austin Mini with the same grill style.
Thank you very much for the tour Malcolm. You have some very interesting cars.
Malcolm seems to be a true British car enthusiast. Hopefully he will be featured on the show more in the future with his vehicles.
The Roots Group station wagon is a Hillman Hunter Estate, it shared the same rear lights as the Sunbeam Rapier and Alpine.. Very common here in the UK at one time.
The ultimate one to have was the Humber Sceptre Estate. It had wooden dash and door capping's and a chrome roof rack.
It was probably called a Sunbeam for the American market.
Great tour! Can you go back and do a "Will It Roast" revival on the old stove?
🤣I was thinking the same thing🤣
I wanted a Will It Run on the moose in his last one.
@@andyfloyd8583 🤣
Shhh! Now everyone will know it was your idea! Seriously though folks; you're gonna love our upcoming 1966 Chevy pickup project.
@@coldwarmotors Is that the one that Carter Auto Restyling has been doing videos of?
That was like a trip through my childhood, when all of those old British cars were still everywhere 👍
I like that you are always courteous and respectful to the people you interact with.
How fabulous to see all the English cars !! Very familiar to me, as I'm in Eastbourne, England. Love the Austin A30. What is known is an AS3. I hope to have my A35 on the road in June !! Looking forward to Saturday 👍
I also have never seen several cars in this segment. What a treat.
Scott is so awesome! He describes the issue faced by the Salesman:.."All you have to do to drive it is to shift exactly the opposite of the car you have now" hee hee
My Gosh 🤩🙆♂️ !!!!
What an incredible farm 🚜 find !!
That place could be classified ,
as a museum
What an incredible collection of British cars 🚗 too .
The Sunbeam Arrow wagon was sold through Chrysler-Plymouth dealers, 1967-70 or so in North America. The Austin America was designated the ADO 16 (Advanced Drawing Office project 16) and called the Austin or Morris 1100/1300 in Britain.
These old English cars are like a visit to my childhood near Montreal.
Cheers from Costa Rica!
In NZ they were sold as Hillman Hunter Station wagons. I passed my driver's licence in one.
The A stood for Amalgamated when the various drawing offices were merged when BMC was created.
@@richardw1970 You are correct. I had a massive brain fart.
HIllman Hunter in the UK too. Rootes had a collection of 'badge' brands: Hillman, Sunbeam, Singer, Humber...
@@paulketchupwitheverything767 ... I now own a 1957 Humber 80 which is the same as the Hillman Minx
That is quite the unique collection. Some very nice and rare pieces. Thank you for that fun tour. Cheers!
Hey Heather! Glad you liked it... I had a great time looking around too!
I know Scott is colour blind, but that stove it HARVEST GOLD!
Outstanding collection of British marques, some of which I’ve never seen or heard of while others I only knew of through my early Matchbox model collection. Thanks to Malcolm for his retention of these machines!
Scott, Malcom and Keith thank you all for this wonderful field trip! Scott, if a Peugeot 404 follows you home, at least one guy will watch the video, ME! 👍
Theres always a car i havent seen before every so often. Love the treasure hunt feeling with goin into the woods
Wow. I grew up only a few hours from the Canadian border and can name almost every American car or truck from the 40s onward yet I was totally clueless on most of these beauties. Amazing.
99.999% of Canadians dont know what these are or that they even existed,even back in the day..These cars were rarely seen on the roads as in America you rarely seen these cars and they were sold in America too.
Pretty much Canada has the same cars there as in America yes a few oddities but just badge renaming basically for a few American models here/there until the early 70's, even those were rare and most extremely rare as they even sold the identical car as in the American market and those were 1000 times more popular.These Import cars were even sold in America..so you probably seen a few but said ? and forgot about it..
Love the rare cars and the fascinating stories! Never considered the fluctuating foreign exchange and its effect on British imports back then. Malcom's got a sharp memory and a great eye for detail!
Please thank Malcolm for allowing us to see his array of postwar British cars. From all of the Canadian-built US nameplate cars you have shown, complete with “Made In Canada” cast into the engine iron, I had no idea the little English cars came to Canada in any quantity. (I wonder how well they were welcomed, or if each one was a rolling reminder that Canadians fought and died in World War Two helping England, and still Canada was not freed from the Empire.)
My oldest brother bought a new 1966 MG 1100 sedan, and those Austin Americas bring back fond memories.
Good to see those old Austin's That old Somerset A40 was the first car I ever owned , I bought mine for 10 bucks as it didn't run . But guess what happened after it came home ? I was 12 years old and my uncle came over to see the car and soon , he was showing me the in and outs about cars and soon it was running and soon I was learning to drive it around the property . Years later I was given one that had been parked since 1965 had the plates still on it . Dusty and mouse housed I brought her back and she is on the road today . I even took a page from your book and bought a walking foot machine and tried my hand a redoing the seats and then the headliner . I must say it turned out great and thanks to you and youtube I did something I never thought I could have done . Austin cars were very well built cars . Mine still has the patina lite grey and surface rust but wasn't at all rusted out floors still had paint showing and the OK inspection 252 strip of paper found about 4 of those in the car . Also found a 5p Woodbine cigarette wrapper for 5 smokes all balled up and put into the stuffing of the back seat by the guy who upholstered the car new . Nice to see Scott thanks
Yay! Thursday's rule!
Hi Scott. What a nice collection of old European iron. Cool!
*MALCOM!*
He's one of those walking auto encyclopedia type critters, eh? Always fascinating talking to such folks...
Being a longtime viewer of all things CWM, I get exposed to all sorts of cars I would otherwise never even
think about, leave alone actually *see* - so thanks yet again for all the effort, Scott!
- Ed on the Ridge
I'm in Australia and i actually have my Dads Austin Cambridge that I think he swapped for a surfboard in the 70s, it got left behind at our Farm when we moved and 30yr later i contacted the owners to see if i could have it, they said yes!!! full of bullet holes but I'm still very glad to have it. man that comment from Scott about the wavey grill took me back :') it still has it's 'made in Isreal'white wall tyres from 40yrs ago that I got a local tyre shop to put tubes in
I’m glad there are other old guys out there with barns and sheds and lean 2’s full of old cars that all need a bit of work but get drivin once in awhile.
Hey Scott. Great trip around Malcolm's yard, mate. He's got some real gems in there - and even some I recognised! The '64 Fairlane 500 was one - my neighbours had one back in the 80s that was a very similar colour. Factory 289 "Challenger" engine and 3-speed "Cruisomatic", theirs was a hardtop and in mint condition. That one didn't look too bad either through the camera lens, but boy did it bring back some memories.
The Austin America was one of the smaller BMC / BL (British Motor Corporation / British Leyland) sedans that was rebadged for the US / Canadian market between '68 and '72. It was based on the Mark II version of the ADO16 model designation - which had many variants using the brand names of the BMC group of companies to designate trim levels. The ADO16 series had two engine variants - a 1098cc and a 1275cc (known as an 1100 or a 1300), although the Australian branch of BL shoehorned a 1498cc engine in one variant and called it the "Freeway". The Austin America ran the 1275cc A-series inline 4-cyl engine matched to a 4-speed box. This was mounted transversely and sat directly under the block, meaning that the engine oil was also the gearbox oil. The America didn't differ much from its UK Austin variant much except for a nod to emissions (an 'air injection system'), hazard lights and a dual circuit brake master....which wasn't fitted to the UK versions until half way through the Mark III version of the body style in 1974. The "landcrab" name was given to it's bigger brother - the 1800cc variant (ADO17) - and purists / enthusiasts of ADO16, ADO17 and ADO61 (the 3-litre traditionally-mounted inline 6-cyl version) will tell you off if you mistakenly refer to anything other than an ADO17 as a Landcrab!
The "Rootes Group" car was known here (and in the UK) as a Hillman Hunter Estate (aka: station wagon), but I think they were indeed branded as Sunbeam with the model name of "Arrow" for the US / Canadian market, running an I4 (a 1500cc or 1725cc unit) and 4-speed box. Looking at the front of that one with its round single headlights, it would be a '68-'70 model.....although in pressing play again, I heard Malcolm fill in a few blanks!
The white sedan you saw first when Malcolm took you on a tour was a Vauxhall Victor VX 4/90 (PB series) - a rare car by any standards 20 years ago as they all rotted away quickly, so even more so nowadays.....and that one looks lovely. Well worth the time for Malcolm to make her a runner - especially if you let your UK viewers drool over the idea of owning it!. It seems the old British steel is worth so much more in its original country nowadays.
The A40 Somerset is one I am very familiar with too....and more so it's little sisters, the A30 and A35, as my household was never without an A30 or A35 when I was growing up. My first car was also an A30 - in grey, hand-painted by the previous (and only) owner over the top of another blue-grey colour he had used 20 years prior....and both paint jobs were applied with a wringer-mop and bucket, with the odd string staying in the paint. Let's say it was a very thick coat over the metal and the car had minimal rust as a result - even though she was 30 years old at the time. It had a feature usually only reserved for Bond cars - as in it had a smoke screen that stopped any car following you from seeing where you went. Sadly, in my Austin's case, you couldn't turn the smoke screen off again until the engine ran out of oil to burn and that wasn't such a good thing. I tried all sorts of potions to stop it using so much oil - it would use a gallon of oil every 500 miles (which equated to about 3 tanks of petrol in her 5 gallon tank) and my mates used to reckon I should just pull into the local petrol station and ask them to fill it up with oil and check the petrol once a week. It had a factory fitted heater too - very rare option considering the cost.....but I digress The Somerset / Nash Metro ran the 1200cc B-series engine, with the Metro getting the B-series 1500cc engine when it was developed for the Austin A50 / A55 in 1956. That Somerset is in beautiful condition and doesn't look like it would take much to be back on the road as a daily driver again.
.....and then I pressed play again........and wow! There's an A50! The A55 Mark 1 (1957-59) used the same body style and interior, but had big hooded chrome rings on the headlights instead of being Frenched, a slightly reworked bodyline with chrome that followed it into the dip and back out, a larger rear window and a re-worked rear end that had the boot lid coming all the way down to the bumper line and the indicators / brake lights at the top of the rear fenders (like the A55 Mark 2 Malcolm had, although they were an inverse teardrop type of shape). I have also owned a 1 owner 1957 Mark 1 A55 Deluxe, which had every extra that 1957 could throw at it except an overdrive on the 4-speed box. It even had Austin embossed factory seat covers and embossed factory rubber floor mats! It had a heater, a radio (a valve model that took a good few mins to warm up), a clock, fog light, twin wing mirrors, windscreen washers, two-tone paintwork, chrome lightning strike on the front wings, monsoon shield, leather upholstery, boot liner, full tool kit and a reserve fuel tank. It was a beautiful car to drive and I clocked up 27,000 miles in that car in 18 months. It's one car I have been chasing to find another one of similar condition to have now, but funny enough, there are fewer now than there were 36 years ago when I had mine! I still look at them and have a huge smile on my face every time I see a photo (or video) of one. ......and then you saw an A30! That is one of the first model of A30 before the refresh that saw the speedo cluster change to a trapezoid shape, the interior door handles move from the top of the door to a chrome crank at the front of the door card (similar to a '71 and later Mini), the boot hinge arrangement change from internal cantilever style to an external swing-type hinge and the fuel tank filler change from the right hand rear guard to the left had side of the rear panel under the boot lid. Yep - 803c of raw power, with a top speed of 62mph - 100km/h!! No synchro on 1st, but a 4-speed floor change with a long pudding-stirrer / mystery shift gear stick with one of the longest throws I've driven outside of a 1948 Ford Bonus truck! The A30 came with trafficators like the A40 you saw, but the A35 had indicators as standard....and a 948cc engine, 75mph top speed and a short-throw remote-shifted box.
And he has a TR4! NOW you're talking my language! I have a Triumph Stag and a Triumph 2500S saloon (sedan)! What a lovely wee beast that it - recognised it immediately! Pity about her nose, but the parts will be out there. The TR4 / 4A is the model I most like as it is so very underrated as a driver's car. That TR7 is out out of the box though - a fixed-head coupe (or FHC) as the Brits call it. Love that colour. The TR7 being an unusual "Marmite" style of car that appealed to as many people as it didn't. They went well too - I had a bit of an unofficial competition with one TR7 owner on a back road about 60km from here in my 2500S. He was surprised I could keep up with him in my saloon, but I was more impressed with the performance of the TR7 as I had not seen one driven spiritedly before then. The TR7 returned to a 4-cyl engine layout and 5-speed box after the TR5 and TR6 had been produced with an inline six.....and was superseded by a short run of that same body that ran a Rover 3500cc V8 mated to a 5-speed box, called the TR8.
What a wonderful mini-episode, my friend! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all these vehicles that have been part of my own life for many years. Hope you enjoyed a bit of expansion of Malcolm's knowledge on the models - and a couple of anecdotes as well! Looking forward to seeing Agent 2000's P5 go through the process to look more herself in the next episode too! All the best, eh?
Amazing to see so many British cars at Malcolm's place, that TR7 is in remarkable condition, it'll be nice to see that out on the road,
Who's ever seen a TR7 that didn't have any problems? So fun and so terrible. Amazing it's still there.
Great tour, guys! I haven't heard of an Austin in years-my buddy's dad bought his mom a Austin Marina-about 1973- the poor thing dropped parts as it went down the road-it made many trips to the dealer-finally it quit out on the highway, and his dad had the district attorney, who was a friend, write a letter of suit to the dealer-they refunded all of his money! Thanks again, guys! Cheers!
That's a place Al needs to visit.
Wow, thanks to Malcolm for sharing his collection. Looking through the comments, naturally your UK subscribers liked seeing some of their old gems as they were sold in North America. I wonder if some time, 2 others that were renamed for the NA market will appear in an episode - I am thinking of the Austin Marina (1 of the ads called it "Some family car. From some family of cars.") and the Plymouth Cricket.
Wonderful collection and knowledgeable owner. That Austin A40 Somerset is one of the very few I've seen in Canada that still has paint on it. They usually get down to primer. Perhaps re-painted at some point. But in really nice shape.
I really enjoyed todays showing of classic British cars on Malcom's farm some of which I've never seen before, such as the Sunbeam Estate wagon, thank for bringing me along.
Harvest Gold appliances! Nothing says early 70's more than Harvest Gold enamel work.
Brilliant: "Clean fixer upper ready to break in half."
I used to own a 63 Ford Fairlane! Had a 289 with a two speed hydromatic trans! I got my nickname in that car! I would come around a corner drop it into 1 low and floor it then goose the throttle and slip it into low 2 floor it until it went through passing gear and into drive! Everybody swore I had a three speed column shift in it! They would crap their pants when they realized it was an automatic! I had to prove it to people all the time! I discovered you Can push start an automatic in that car! I lived on a hill and almost every day I would run outof gas going uphill home! I would flip a u turn park it and get 5 gallons of gas pour it into the car then coast downhill in neutral slam it into low1 and whalah- it would start! I baha'd that car in the desert so much the gastank was flattened to where it only held about 15 gallons! Hence the reason I kept running out! Never knew how much was actually in it! I put over 400 thousand miles on that poor car!😄
I used to push start my Falcon that had the same transmission, some of the older Torqueflights prior to '65 you could start the same way
That is one heck of a collection Malcolm has.
Wow, a lot of old and rare cars. Awesome tour. Thanks Malcolm and Agent 2000. Cheers!
Huge THANKS on this mid-week vid!
I think Austin America's were 67/8 to 70/71(or more correctly, here in the states). That gray one in the shed is the best looking one I've ever seen - of course in a very British color.
LOVED the Arrow wagon!! Also the Austin version of the Land Rover(don't be surprised if Stephen comes calling!).
Am actually surprised Al hasn't snagged all that Mini stuff.
Thanks for the tour!!
Scott, you gotta love going through someone else's collection of timeless pieces. Great pre-show. Cheers from Wisconsin
Thank you to Keith and Malcom for showing off those cool little British cars! I've always liked the Austin America's. Only seen a handful in my time though.
What amazing. Group. Of. Cars. Austin. Americas. Love. Those. Years
Great tour. Malcolm has a lovely accent. Could listen to him talk about Canandian-spec British cars all day.
He is the first scientist I've ever seen with high vis stripes
Wow! I've never seen so many diminutive British sedans in one setting before. Would love to watch some road tests of those! By the way, the stove was "harvest gold". Awesome episode.
Oh my god!!! That triump motorcycle was a thing of beauty. I would love to own that machine❤
Hi Scott love ya Frankers Rusty Gold 💟💟
Excellent video On Keith cars Scott and very nice see in garage and also outside too! Looking forward on repairs on one Saturday Show Series To and so nice seeing different vechiles on RUclips videos you show too !
👍Nice museum visit. More interesting than any dealership car lot today. Thanks Scott. See you all on Saturday.
*Whooaa thanks for the walkaround, great to see a few old Brits being looked after over there. I owned and ran a Somerset just like that c2000, it was very prone to head gasket failures and after it lost a rear wheel while I was driving it, it fell out of favour and was sold on. My missus ran an Austin A30 as her daily just like the one in that shed, it ended up in Atlanta of all places and last time I saw a photo of it, it had been rolled on its side at the bottom of a hill after a brake "issue".*
I love the old brit cars there so cool in their own style and a great tour . cheers man.
Thanks for the visit to Malcolm’s!!
So nice to see the Austin Americas. My mom & dad had a few over the years. And I learned about maintaining cars when my dad bought my sister & me a Cambridge to drive in the fields. We were around 10 or 11.There was a hole in the rad. Dad said we could have all the gas we wanted as long as we kept water and oil in it. Car was still running when it went for scrap
They were everywhere in the U.K and I still couldn't get the name out for that Hillman Hunter.
The little station wagon was sold in New Zealand as a Hillman Hunter Definitely Rootes Group. LOL. Its funny these old Austins and jags are well known to me as they were around in quantity here in NZ when i was growing up in the 60s and 70s. Nearly all the electrics were made by Lucas. It used to be known as Joseph Lucas prince of darkness .LOL. It was rare to see them as rust free as those ones are. The A50 and A55 used to rust out along the tops of the rear fenders from the inside out .The only cars that rusted out faster than the British cars were the Italian ones. We always joked that they were brought in as deck cargo.
What a fantastic collection. Thanks for taking us along.
As always, just a great video...
Lots and lots of British steel.
Awesome exploring, thank you and very cool to go out for a 'treasure-hunt' with the coldwarmotoros crew, what a great collection to showcase here for us eagle-eyed viewers.
Looking forward to the wing repair video on the blue Rover. Cheers, a much enjoyed outing and a quite impressive 'stash' of classic cars 😊👍
Thank you once again for showing us cars I've never seen before. See you Saturday!
Thanks so much for the education effort on British automobiles. I knew about Jaguars and MGs and Hillman and just a smattering of Austin's, and of course the Rovers, but I never realized the class and comfort of the average British autos. Amazing content as usual, keep up the great work although I have to admit that I truly missed Frankers.
I grew up watching these type of cars pass me by as a child. I even had one knock me off my trike going to get a bottle of milk. Great times.
Started out driving with my moms Cambridge Austin all those cars bring back memories from the day. Thank you! Cheers
Ha, Scott said al you Minnie yum, the way one is supposed to. Good work. More anti Kythera references. Best show out there.
Wow, that was a pile of cool old units there. Great guy keeping them all covered up.
What treasures, 😳🤗, that is a nice collection of hard to find old British cars! 👍 Cheers guys, hope the fires 🔥 are under control and everyone got through relatively safe.👌
❤ looking at old cars.😄✌️👍 cheers.
Every time I see those little Austin cars i think of that scene from Fawlty Towers 😂
I could swear I heard some gears turning in your head at 1:32, when you glanced at that sweet tractor.
Cool tour. Like a petting zoo for Britsh cars.
Austin Gypsy ? That's a first for me. Now it's an Austin Crispy
My parents had a Hillman Hunter not the fastest or luxurious but it got you where you needed to be. (eventually) 🤣 Interesting look around the yard. 2x👍
New Toys to play with, always fun
When I was a young lad in Southeastern Colorado a grocery store gave away an Austin with "trafficators". It was about 60 years ago and to me it was a wonderful car. I'm sure it could have been bought for $50-100 dollars back then. It was running and had decent interior and working semaphores. Very cool to see these old cars. Most too far gone but a few had some life left.
Wow, so many of our old British cars there, pretty good condition too, the car at 2:50 looks like a Hillman Hunter estate, my dad had a white one back when i was a kid, i'll always remember those hot vinyl seats on the back of my legs on a summer's day!
The Austin America's are the same as our Austin/Morris 1100-1300 range.
Thank you so much. I literally watch for your videos. I soooo need a break from the US po.itics.. you bring me back to reality. CWM save me pleasee
very nice collection of vintage cars in your friends sheds
What a great tour! Malcolm is a very interesting fellow. Can’t wait to see the new fender installed and painted. The car is gonna look fabulous!
Definitely NOT the “same old sh*t!” ;-)
As the owner of a 25 year project Triumph I can state with authority that the restoration of any of those Brits will ruin your life forever.
Great look around! The Austin Gipsy was introduced by BMC in the late fifties to grab a share of the Land Rover market, some regarded the Gipsy as a superior vehicle to the Landy. When BMC and the Leyland group merged in the late sixties to form British Leyland they had two 'similar but different' 4WD vehicles competing for the same market so the Gipsy was dropped in favour of the Land Rover. The Rootes group 'Sunbeam' station wagon was marketed as a Hillman Hunter estate here in the UK. Hillmans were the basic cars of the Rootes group, Singer was a bit more luxurious, Sunbeams were the sporty numbers an Humbers were the big cruisers. Nice selection of Austins plus a Vauxhall Victor FB and a 'Bonnie' to boot! Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane from Somerset, England.
As a Mid Century Modern Collector, I can tell you that oven/stove is "harvest gold".
Had a Ford Courier pickup for field bombing. Was a 4 speed. Fun little truck to toss around the property. Lots of grass one wheel peels!
Harvest gold stove. Got one in my kitchen now and cooked supper on it last night! haha.
The Sunbeam Arrow in the U.K. would have gone under several name changes over it's life (about 67 to 79) Singer Vogue, Hilman Hunter, Humber Sceptre and Chrysler Hunter, all known as Arrow cars.
The Vauxhall in the barn is a very rare FB VX 4/90 from about 62/63 - the upside down T tail lights are 4/90 only.
The Austin with the traficators is one of the "County Cars" Hereford, Cambridge, Oxford etc.
Harvest gold is the stove colour you were looking for.
Thanks guys
Interesting tour of junk yard. Always enjoy your shopping around. Lot of Austin Healy engines . 👍👊💯
OMG the 52 Austin A40 Saloon is SOOO COOL! Looks like a Saab 96 mated with a Jaguar Mk VIII. Cheers from Alabama 🎉
Great episode. Had a late 74 sunbeam rapier Holbay tuned fastback. Looking to go 1950’s and it seems every car I’m considering was in his garages! 😊
Great tour of Malcolm's collection. South Africa is riddled with British cars from that era. Sad that my daily driver is now a Toyota, albeit one with a Yamaha-designed engine.
Please advise Keith to fit a relay to his P5 to save his headlamp switch from burning up - they've become hen's teeth on P5s, along with the red indicator prism above the sidelights.
When I was 15/16 and living in Alabama my Grandfather wanted to buy me a used beigey/yellow Austin America for my first car so I wouldn't get his '63 Corvair. Someone talked him out of it. 4 years later I got my first car, a 1974 Volvo 164E. 1 year later I got a 1975 SAAB 99 EMS. Almost 50 years later I'm back in Alabama, and old cars are everywhere here. There's an early 60s Pontiac 4 door Catalina in very good shape for sale here fo $12K.
Very interesting episode, find the British cars fascinating. I'm 60 and can vaguely remember the green sunbeam arrow my father had in the 60s. There was also what I thought was an Austin 1100? But definitely looked like the American. Then later they bought another old Austin for my mother one summer to use at the cottage, wish I could remember what model it was. It did have a crank start. Then my first car was a $100 73 mini. I should have kept it. Lol.
