My older brother had a 1952 MGTD in 1955. He raced it around the dirt roads in west Texas. I was 5 years old. I once too all the bolts to the oil pan to play with. He had to buy all new bolts.
A classy video for a classy car. I just bought 2010, M Sport version, fully loaded in similar condition, and low miles. It is an instant classic. I almost don't want to drive it because it is so perfect.
WTF !? laying a hand on the engine header and shaking hands with th exhaust pipe ??? Are you checking to see if nobody has been driving your car lately or what ... LOL.
Hey Klauss, Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT (Step Nose) all day long and twice on Sunday over this "Brick on Wheels".... FORZA ALFA BABY !!!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!!
Many years ago, I was going home from a party in the wee hours in my SAAB 95 wagon. As I shifted away from a traffic light from 1st to 2nd the shift lever came off in my hand. With a bit of distance left to go and not wanting to stall or burn the clutch I just kept driving in 2nd without stopping till I got home. I used vice grip plyers as a shift lever for a while and they worked just fine until I fixed the shifter.
Excellent POV demonstration of the characteristic angled shifter. But PLEASE always wear the shoulder harnesses you highlighted in the beginning! Be safe...
Bellissima, che emozione, ancora oggi rinpiango, di averla venduta, anche la mia era una seconda serie, ora mi consolo con una Land discovery 300 tdi, w Land rover
No double clutch, and you are having an easy time steering!?! I drove a 69 S2A 88 inch recently and require both arms and a small horse to steer it. ( it did have bigger tires though) Was power steering fitted to this?
We now have super cars that sound like old V8 Muscle cars, but back then, they had economy car that sounded like V12 Supercars! That is awesome, all of it!
I had a 57 year model and later a 1966 Monte Carlo 2 stroke which I replaced with a 4cyl Monte Carlo.After changed to a 99 which was a massive improvement especially space.
A yank driving a manual? Perhaps you should learn how to ! Use the engine compression to brake!!! Stop holding the clutch down going around corners besides having no control over the car you don’t know what the f..k you’re doing Also why start the car in a closed garage??? Are you tired of living or hooked on exhaust fumes (mixed with unburnt petrol - “gas” - for you colonials)
My father's first car in the 60s was a 50s Ford Prefect, he was very pleased with that one (I was a toddler at that time). After that he got a Saab 93, and he still talks about how unreliable it was. He never got a Saab again ... still wonder if the car he bought had some flaws or if he just didn't manage the two stroke engine. One cylinder always went dark, he said.
The English Ford Prefect and Anglia were very good automobiles. I had an Anglia when I was going to school at the University of Florida. I had a friend there who wrecked his Saab 93 because of oversteer when he was driving on Rock Creek Park highway.
@@ericnadaoka9038 They were good cars, indeed I actually now own a Anglia '58, as a hobby. And my father owns a '66 Anglia, drives it a lot during summers. This '66 was my grandfathers first and only car, after that is was used by my uncle, then by my cousin. My father restored it in the 90s and its a popular sight in the s mall city he lives in :)
