@@Reedys_Digest Look forward to it! Love Lagonda..Thank you so much for what you're doing! In a side note,I believe Alvis Cars has been revived. Saw something onYT,but need more details .Apparently,if you have the bare bones of a carcase (eg. chassis,engine,gearbox,they will restore it for you,but unsure of details.I just mention this out of interest,as I feel this is a positive development in the historic car movement and feel that it does encourage us!Anyhow,keep up the good work!
Glorious! Pre-war Lagondas are wonderful machines. I was just watching your previous upload with freeing up the hood frame on the Lagonda. Makes me realise how easy I have it on my 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater. It's take about 3 seconds to fold/unfold. I'll get around to watching the next one after watching this. Edit:- Just finished watching this and there's plenty more than just Lagondas. Got to love proper Vauxhalls too (30-98s) and the Delahaye 135M.
That VSCc weekend will be a permanent fixture in my calendar there was so much to see. I do wonder if one day we might be able to coax Celia up that course!
@@Reedys_Digest I took my little Morris Minor up Prescott Hill Climb back in 2021, and on the second run up the hill it spat a core plug out and dumped its coolant! I managed to get my hands on another plug and the next day successfully completed the Cotswold Tour, some 80 miles, and drop my friend home before heading home myself. About 180 miles in total. The week before last I took the 92-year-old car on a 1000 mile tour to Scotland.
@@crashbox7130 oh my goodness! Those sound like wonderful adventures. I hope one day to take Celia up to Scotland, one of her previous owners lived there!

They are lovely. My father drove his as a daily driver for years including driving my mother down Snake Pass on a winter’s night with the top down. Now that I have had a closer look at the hood I could hazard a guess as to why that might have been!

Love this era of car❤
I know I can’t get over all the copper pipes in the engine. If you told me it powered a Time Machine I’d almost believe it!
I was there, it was a great weekend
It was brilliant!
I never miss it. 😎
I noticed that all the Lagondas were parked together. Now I know why.
Absolutely! They had all been to the pub (closed!) at the crack of dawn!
Love you guys! Can't wait for next episode.Hopefully,Celia is back on the road soon!❤
Thank you! You have made my day with this! Should have another workshop video out in the next 10 days or so!

What beautiful cars and I think I've fallen in love with Tamara, a beautiful girl driving a beautiful car!
It was a tremendous day out!
You definitely have a talent for making documentaries.!
Thank you! It was fun to make and a good excuse for a couple of great days out!

The lady in the blue outfit seems extremely knowlegeable about those old pre-war cars. Great. Don't see too many women in the hobby.
