The Ford engines used frequently in British Allard were 30 hp ex Bren Carrier engines because they had lead indium bearings not white metal. The engines were mounted way backin the chassis because they started life as hill climb specials. The LMB front axle conversion gave feed back one minute and went dead the next. They were all hairy cars and even the M types could give a good account of themselves on the open road in the late sixties. Great days, thanks for the memories!
I hate to correct people but the gentleman said car is all original@3:55 the heads should be block letters not script . I have built hot flatt engines since the 60s.I understand you dont want 70 year old alum heads as they have electrolisis issues. but a super car it is
That my very well be true for the man buying or scrounging for the heads, but you have to take into account that Vic Edelbrock Sr. was one of the guys who actually built that motor, so he could've done something unusual. I am in no way saying you are wrong, you obviously know flatheads, just that ive seen stranger things. If it is my money......I'll go with your theory though.
@@bradcarroll3719 As I have many old sets of block letter heads on my wall . you dont want to run these as the white buildup inside is not good. the script letter heads are just a newer version. I do prefer Navarro heads.& they reproduce them again.
I had tons of fun with most of these cars since my dad spent the time restoring them for DeWayne. To be honest these two cars are not even in the top ten in that collection.
Oh man, I'm glad you didn't go 80, he didn't have the hood latched down! Both wonderful cars I never seen either...
love seeing these old cars that are running down the road and not sitting in the museum
At 35k on the odometer he loved what he had , that's a dyed in the wool car guy , both of them.
13:05 ol' boy hits the start button juuuust right. Love it!
Two rare and gorgeous"babies"! Keep em coming Dennis!
R.I.P..nice man..smart..great collection
Did the old boy pass on?
Shame, I was going to wish him many more years to enjoy his collection... 😔
@@rushzimi3865 He died from a stroke. A part of the cars are gone by a auction.
Well I'm tickled pink just to see these two beauties. The 'motorpool 'shot looked immense of what he had.

Two true classics and two great cars 🚗🚙
I always love your show and interviews.
Love that '49 Kurtis!
Gotta love “Your Classic Car”
2 absolute gentlemen in 2 gems of the past.
I love Allards!
2 beautiful cars, and i`ve never heard of either one before.
Nothing better than a 'flatty' with an 'Offy'! Thx Dennis.
We call Flat Heads .
Sides vale’s heads in OZ . Thanks for another wonderful video. Nice looking town you were at. Like we’re I live.
I like the mercury sound.
Another great & wonderful show Dennis from Australia 🇦🇺🏁
75 years old Kurtis ! belongs in a indiana jones type movie , or a sci fi type, amazing !
Amazing statement about his rebuilds, even original BOLTS!
Most restorers use original hardware.
Wonderful video and excellent choices.
What mustache wax do you use? It's amazing.
Love the car mate 🇦🇺🏁
Charming.

Always love your videos specially your mustache 🤩🤩😇😍
😎 cool 😎
The taillights on the Curtis look the same as Indian motorcycle taillights. True Dennis?
Beautiful spot. Bummer about all the McMansions. : /
What's the name of this beautiful place. Anyone?
Utah
13:22 13:35 kinda sounds like a Harley
Do The Opel GT. Pleeeeeease!! (:
I love those cars. I’ve owned two of them!
MyClassicCarTV i had a 72 yellow G T, it looked like a little vette.
It looks like an English Morgen sport car I love 💓 it 🟡🏁
The dash was used on boats also.
I thought the Curtis was a Muntz when I first saw it.
They are related.
@@MyClassicCarTV Ok. Thanks. Thanks for videos

👍🤩💚
Weird sound from that Mercury...
Could have closed the hood.
The hood was misaligned from the factory so when he restored the car he put it back that way.
@@MyClassicCarTV Wow, would you have done the same, Dennis? I think I would have a hard time not making it straight.
