Super interesting video Harley,love to see the Dodge come out again. You have such a good knowledge of classic cars. I owned a Saab 99 many years ago and ran up a huge mileage doing all repairs and maintenance myself,then swapped it for a Saab 900 and did an even bigger mileage! Both were extremely reliable. Looking forward to your next video.......👍
Hello Harley. Memories coming back for me with your video. The Ford Zephyrs were popular here in New Zealand. The police used them in the 1950s. Back in the early 1960s a family next-door in the neighborhood had one. A dark green one with white wall tyres, and the father of the family wore his hair slicked back in a Ducks Arse style with a quiff in front. And his wife had a beehive hairdo. This in the Rock 'n' Roll Era. Those frog eyed cars look like they had forgotten to put headlights on the front and added them at the last minute. Morris / Austin 1100s were everywhere in the 1960s, selling so well here in NZ . Well thank you Harley.
The XK-engined Daimler 420 was my favourite as it would suit my delusions of grandeur, plus I am an XK devotee! But as ever I loved your relaxed and informative presentation - and hope you had a less eventful journey home in the Dodge! I Look forward to the next weekly sop to my classic addiction from you. Rob
WOW CT that Start up was perfect when you tap the wiper arm back on to the splines a small drop of super glue works a treat if the splines are dry first ,loved the ride in the Dodge thank you for the outing
You are correct, but not many people do it, it takes the load off the gearbox. Might be useful if the battery is not in it's first flush of youth........@@CarTractionvids
I love it when you guys take the Dodge out - but this must have been a scary ride - traveling at breakneck speed and having to feel your way along in that fog. The 1100 was just beautiful. I had a beat up 1100 as a 2nd car and it must have been a very early one. It's instrument panel was the same as the A40 Farina. That may have been a quirk of a New Zealand assembled car of course - I don't know. Being a person of luxurious tastes I can't afford - the Daimler takes out Car of the Day for me. When I first saw it front on (and couldn't see it was a limo), my initial thought was a Wolesley 6/110 Mk 2.
Hi Harley - that MK1 Zephyr Six is actually the Zodiac variant. We had one in 1960, same colour as that one - Green and Cream - 455 AML. A few extras on the Zodiac - cigarette lighter on top of the dash, 2 tone paint option and probably some more that I can't think of. It was a lovely comfy old car - Dad would paint the white wall tyres with emulsion paint, if we were going somewhere special - really looked smart. I don't see a C/T sticker on the MX5 ??? A great line up of cars there - the SAAB 99 wins it for me though - had 7 SAABs throughout my years ! Thanks and take care 🙂
