I think that glass jar at the end was the coolant res. A friend of mine had a Talbot Sunbeam the 90’s, it was an 1980’s car that had the same glass jar with pipes running to the radiator

“Yes mate, what you got?…” The best cliffhanger in Geoff Buys Cars history. Or should that be Le ‘hisoir de la Geoff Buys Moteure? This loosing one’s mind business is catching. 😎🧐😜 Peace

I had one of those in London 6mpg just to go to the pub from N4 to NW1 and back, gallon of fuel, chokes on both ways! Good times.😂😂😂

i'd rather pay for extra fuel than give money to genghis and tfl 😁

I just use it as toilet paper ,

Is that cheaper?

I used to know a guy (*fleet manager) who had on his fleet, an early Hummer, with a taxi M.O.T. , a solar panel hooked up, charging a 9v battery 🔋, had it certified, hey presto, an exempted Hybrid 😮😅 taxi 🚕 used it for ages as a shuttle car

I run mine on proper leaded petrol, thanks to Tetraboost 👍

I'd love to see such cars like Deusenberg, early Cadillac, early BMW, mercedes etc etc, imagine if all of us who have such vehicles hidden away suddenly started dailying them again!

😂remember those days well. I had a car I used to have to park on hills so I could bump start it. The youth of today don't know they're born

No plastic LEDs to completely replace, no ECUs to programme. Returning to horse and cart might be worth doing lol.

Lost my virginity in one. Haha.

I had an older round-headlight one. Super reliable, 350,000km plus when I sold it. The brakes (4 wheel discs) were superb. A bit nervous in the wind, a bag of sand/cement in the front helps. The seats are super comfortable too.

@@65PCH Exactly, I always had a couple of bags of gravel in the boot to stabilise the winter winds hahahaha. I also loved the crank, for if the battery went dead she would always start first time.

That was, my first car back in 1980... Great memories

Nice

Mine's a 1960 moggy that would like to run on minced jso or is that run over oops shame I had the servo fitted 😂

Excellent 👍👌😎

I want one of those 😁

Yep, "You have to have something wrong with you", but the earlier part of your comment makes good points.

Don’t worry ulez will soon be in a town near you!

@hugo Yes it’s been so popular in London I am sure other towns will welcome it, not!

Most people are avoiding the charge by having compliant vehicles

@Andrew Not so easy if you are not wealthy and can not afford to change your non compliant vehicle

@@misfit2022 Most people. Wouldn't be a problem if the tories (who's idea the scheme was) paid out decent scrappage.

It already has 4 disc brakes!

@@salipander6570 Does the 1100🤔 I thought it was the sport that got those, everydays a school day👍

I had a R10 (100 cc) and then a R 8 Gordini (1300 cc). The R 8 had exceptional handling

Isn't the Renault 5Gtt engine just a slightly updated version of this pushrod motor with a turbo slapped on it?

My Dad had a lot of Skoda,s over the years and he loved them.Thrashed them and they did not let him down.I asked why they were so good,he said the best lathe he ever operated was made by Skoda and if you make a good lathe then a making car is a piece of piss.

@@petersaupe7455 Not surprised in the slightest. I chose Skodas as budget East European cars worth buying because my research indicated that they were amongst the best reliable automobile technology to come out of the Eastern Bloc - and that was back in the 80’s. I was also aware some of the best military hardware was built by Skoda!!! The Russians were suitably embarrassed by Skoda’s automobile success that they never imported any Skodas into Russia for sale, even though they had a deficit of new cars for sale in the former USSR and a 10 year or more wait in a queue to get one back then. My rear engined Skodas were built like TANKS and were tough as nails. I loved the 70’s style engineering technology but it was tried, tested, proven and reliable. I enjoyed every single one I had. 1. Skoda Super Estelle 120 LSE (1983) (Codename: FOXBAT). 2. Skoda Estelle 120 LSE (later upgraded to a Rapid 130G engine) (1984) (Codename: VOYAGER). 3. Skoda Rapid 130G (1987) (Codename: Cappuccino) 4. Skoda Rapid 130G (1987) (Codename: Thunderstorm) Cappuccino was written off in an accident (not my fault) so it’s engine was transferred into Voyager. Having a 1289cc engine in that A Reg Estelle made a surprising difference! My wife drove it like a rally car 😂 - it had a colour coded Whale Tail Spoiler on it and chrome trim inserts on all the windows - also a vinyl roof. I do still miss them all.

Like me then. But expect to pay about 50% more than you would have a year ago. Ulez exempt stuff has rocketed in price!

Me too! What colour carpet…?

Who puts an engine in the boot with no cooling??

@@GeoffBuysCars Well Skoda corrected this issue in the rear engined Estelle, by putting the radiator at the front. The issue then was two long metal pipes under the car, which could freeze in very cold weather.

Ah ha ha the Renault? Yeah that's where I got it from.
