Classic Cars - Suburban Specials pt1 

The pencil is mightier that the computer. In the 70's my bro had a MK 1 lotus Cortina it was beautiful. I had a 1600 GT MK2 Cortina. Forever visiting the scrapyards back in the day.

Old/Classic cars are lovely to look at now. Believe me when i say cold/frozen mornings in the 1960/70s were desperate times getting the bloody things to start to get you to work. I own a classic btw but from the early 1980s

What an interesting collection of rusty cars. I used to love going round scrap yards looking for Cortina parts back in the early eighties and would spend hours in them before Health and Safety put a stop to it all.

I wish someone had told me I was driving an "instant classic" in my 1964 Lotus Cortina that I bought in 1968! Back in those days none of these cars were considered of value since they were relatively common and not costly. That Cortina that I sold around 1970 for about 450 quid could be worth over 100 000 today I believe - crazy but true!

I agree, I still have my Mk3 Ford cortina 2 l8tr GXL 2-door . I.h.d. for 30years & a triumph saloon 2 l8tr 6- cylinder mk1. They will never die! 😃😍😍😍😄😂😂😂😂😂👍👌✌

I had a burgundy red G reg 1600E in the 80's, it was lovely.

What a lovely film, things really were much nicer back then.

The last sentence spoken is funny and so true! 😅

That is one beautiful 1600E........

If only I lived in England, I'd buy a British car. My favourite cars have always been the Ford Mark II Cortina 1600E, the Ford Cortina Mark IV, the Austin FX4 "London Taxi", the Jaguar XJ6, and the earliest Range Rover models. :)

Great video. Thanks. Nothing like the great English cars of the 1960s. That 1600E is fantastic.

@1.50 looks a fine fare car park back in the 70's!

Great . Thank you.

Our wedding car was a blue Armstrong Siddley Sapphire back in '93

In the day I owned an ermine white 1969 'H' reg 1600E. I had to sell because I was skint (debts). However I now have an 1970 ermine white 'H' reg for parts, and a 1971, J reg (last month of production) aubergine 1600E, my daily driver. I don't need a laptop to fix it. Also in my youth I could change the clutch in a 105E Anglia, in 48 minutes! I'm still trying to find a decent 1200E. well you need a pair of Ford, wings, to fly.

811 AYN, my dad's 105E, white with a maroon roof, caught fire one dark and stormy night on the Guildford bypass in 1966.. Never seen again.

Luckily enough Morris marinas all came with a complimentary bus timetable,

I liked the last statement .......pencil not computer

Our political philosophy (the American constitution is based on the Magna Carta after all) Our social structure Our economic structure Trust me, most Brits don't consider themselves european. We consider ourselves separate and are fairly isolationist just like the Americans.

I had a 1600e in the 1970's that was not as good as that one.LOL

1960s cars were death traps of chrome and glass .

What’s that chior voice puce of music in the classic car Suburban Special.

this was 1991,i remember cortinas were just your runaround beaters

ive just bought s 1600e. its a nice one .but not so nice as that one.

oddly enough American influence returned for the MK3 model with it's coke bottle look, but by the 80s the tables had turned, American cars were influenced by cars from Germany and Italy

I wish I still had my Consul Capri and Anglia 105E........ sob.

Just had a check if the 1.6 e was still taxed and mot'd sadily it isn't ! It was last registered in 2006! Shame , i wonder what happend to it ?

Mk2 1600e best looking car ever made

The tyres on that 1600 E were even slicked up on the inside ,what a joke !.

how does Britain have more in common with America than with Europe?

Germany and Italy is not Britain. Britain has more in common with America than it does with the rest of europe.
