Some of these could reach 200, (metres per minute) . In a world of ridiculous power outputs and top speeds ,it is a rare treat to see these old gems being maintained. Thanks to everyone involved.
I love that a Family model still exists. With so many being cannibalized for more profitable models, its nice to see there are still some out there. I wish you the absolute best with your sale!
Thank you. She's a dream to drive and oozes character. Only a fool would change her credentials for a more profitable model. Thank you for your kind words.
Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my RU-vid channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....
Many viewers may be a little confused when hearing that this or that car has a “JAP” engine. JAP is an acronym for Jonathan A. Preston, an Englishman, and does not refer to Japan.
A wonderful film of a splendid event. It reminds me of a wag at Armstrong Siddeley who, referring to Stoneleighs, said of J.D.Siddeley, "the man who made walking a pleasure."
Goodness. The older I get the more appealing these little treasures become.I saw a wicker bodied , v twin powered twin seater a few years ago in Melbourne Australia. It had a rope pull start in the cabin, a solid rear axle with a single Morris Minor brake hub on the inboard part of the axle . The seats were two plastic stackable kitchen chairs without the steel legs. No gauges, or switches or even any lights. Wish I could see it again today.
