Super video Harley,full of interest. I liked the pre-flight checks on your cars at home! I loved that Moggy,very useable and solid. I had a Moggy 1000 when I was young and went all over the UK in it on holidays,never any reliability issues. Looking forward to your next video.
Those Were The Day's,..Oil Leaks, Noisy Tappets, Wrongly Set Points, Oily Plugs ect.. I Would Have Kept My 65 GT Cortina But Just Couldn't Repair Anymore Rust !!😁
We got a version of the Vauxhall Omega here in the US sold as the Cadillac Catera. I worked for a Cadillac dealer during the time they were sold. Saw 3 of n service department with holes in the engine block.
Watched your fathers OCC vintage picture upload this morning. Just finished looking at your CT Crewe Heritage video . Both great to see. Considering the rain there were some very nice cars at Crewe. The Westminster sixes do have a great exhaust note and mechanical sound when running. I remember a few if these back un the 1960 s and earley 70 s. Great earnote. The trains in the background i take it are on display although they look like they should be in service. Great video and its raining here to.
Thanks for another enjoyable video Harley. There was a really good turnout considering how bleak the day was. It was pretty bleak here too while I was watching it!! My Dad always taught me not to rev the car when starting it to allow the oil to circulate in the engine. He said to use the choke for the initial start and to keep the engine turning over until the oil could circulate and then the choke could be eased off and the accelerator used. But as you say, these old cars had character and they certainly weren't all the same. Car of the day for me was the Rover 90. My eldest brother had one - it was smoth, powerful and a very comfortable ride. Have a good week.
Hi Harley. Like your video, presented very well. The Standard 8 is such a cute car. It doesn't backfire as you travel in it. My grandfather owned a Standard 10, which is basically the same. I can remember it. I haven't seen your mother in your videos and yet she drives to the shows. I have never seen a Triumph TR7 here in NZ. It's probably rare in the UK too. I remember those Raighleigh Chopper cycles in the 1970s. Expensive to buy. I rode an old Raleigh bike to school , an old bone shaker I called it many years ago. I'm grandad age now , I'm old enough to have a 40 year old son or daughter with grandchildren , but I didn't have any children , so no grandchildren. Sometimes I wished I did because I would spoil them. Good show of cars Harley, pity the weather was good. From Carl.
Good video Harley, I particularly liked the opening sequence. The Standard has a nice little roar but still a noisy tappet. I love the yellow TR7 I used to have a TR7 in orange and silver, I did own a yellow Spitfire. The weather looks foul not a nice day for a Mother's Day outing weatherwise.
Just for interest watching another classic car program and the guy went to a BP garage and because his classic car had the filler in boot the staff refused to let him put fuel in due to their rules saying that no doors or openings are allowed whilst putting fuel in. what stop using BP how bad is this
I’m genuinely amazed and delighted by your knowledge and enthusiasm Harley. A man after my own heart 👏

The Rover P4 was without doubt the star of the show. As you said, quality. I hope your Mum got some TLC after such a wet Mothers Day!
If a post car show bacon butty counts then we're safe!

The trains are for display but occasionally move, thanks for watching

I meant pity the weather wasn't good for you. Ha
If I remember rightly the montego had doors glued together ie outer skin and inner skins of doors and unsure if bonnet and boot too ?
VW Golf and many other current production cars have their panels constructed the same way today, and have done so for many years............
Just for interest watching another classic car program and the guy went to a BP garage and because his classic car had the filler in boot the staff refused to let him put fuel in due to their rules saying that no doors or openings are allowed whilst putting fuel in. what stop using BP how bad is this
That stops a lot of current and classic cars from filling up................
