If you like to go beyond the motoring mainstream, Below The Radar is for you. It's the home of weird and obscure cars, whether they're low-volume production models, concepts or modified machines.
Below The Radar is brought to you by Richard Dredge and this RU-vid channel accompanies a website with hundreds of articles on obscure cars, which you can find at www.below-the-radar.com
What a lovely chap, I could sit in an old pub with an open fire and drink pints of bitter and have cheese cobs all afternoon and talk about old cars 😂😂😂
There are many more cars there, which I couldn't film because they are owned by people who pay Rodger to store them. These are the ones that I could film because they are all owned by Rodger...
Yes sure true for some but does not cover all brands, many disappeared because they could not change to the modern way of making cars as a monocoque, and the age old problem of making them cheap enough. After that then your comment is right since British Leyland took numerous brands to the morgue with some appalling design and build quality, not all their cars but enough that the Japanese then other makes broke into the market. By that time its too late but at the very least some names are still around because of foreign money and companies. I have some knowledge on this because my grandfather was one of those makers who stopped at the end of the 50’s after making nearly 2000 cars and I do drive my Morris Traveller often but also very fond of my modern BMW mini. It was meant to be, even the cars considered awful until recently are gathering a following.
Amazing collection. I’d heard of it but not seen it. Folks like Rodger and Leno won’t be around forever, I hope these sort of collections can remain in their current form for we car lovers to view in the future. Thanks for sharing Rodger.
34 years ago, trying to sell my Ducati Mike Hailwood replica as a very poor student- only chance was a guy who would swap his Clan- the car was horrible- I still have the Ducati and actually rode it to work today- WIN !
44 years ago on my German language exchange I met a girl called Monica- yes there's a car called Monica I tolled her- didn't help my chances ; ) now married to a German girl- mother in laws name is Monica- we don't talk about cars . . . .
I wish Rodger would set up a RU-vid channel. It would generate a lot of dosh, and ensure that this collection is safe. I am willing to volunteer to be a driver!
Wow! He's got the concept car Lotus M250. I remember placing an order (deposit) on one at Lotus Bell and Covill in Surrey. Shame it did not go into production. What a great video. Thanks for sharing!
The seats "fold down into a bed"! That also happened on OTHER cars, but the bed was never comfortable. Was THIS one comfortable, I wonder? And personally, I would feel dizzy, facing BACKWARDS, so is it possible to take out the REAR seats?.You could take a hell of a lot of shopping then!
I actually bought that copy of Car & Driver here in the UK back in the 70s and I remember it well. Thanks for reminding me of this fascinating piece of history.
I believe I know the gentleman who owns the 2 of them in France that he is refering to, a blue and a purple one. I restored the body on his blue one, interresting car. Very british in it's construction for a French car.
