@stewartshackleton7825 Год назад

Another excellent video Gary, thank you. I shall try and get to the show in November - big boys and their toys!

@tedrenard472 Год назад

Hi Gary. A fabulous show, and just as interesting, and entertaining (not to be underestimated), as your other videos. Just a thought though, and I don't know whether I missed it or not, but - I'm not hard of hearing, and the lady signing on stage looked like she was doing a great service to those who would otherwise have totally missed out : it would have been a nice gesture to have given her an introduction and an ovation as well. Maybe that happened and wasn't able to be included in the vid. No criticism implied by the way, loved it all.

@classic.obsession Год назад

Hi ted. Yes, she was introduced, looked after and treated as one of the team. She did a great job. Regards.

@nevillecapper6529 Год назад

The land crab was the 1800/2200 Austin, Wolseley variants Austin 3 litre was a bigger car.

@nickturner2813 Год назад

Only bigger due to different front and read bodywork, the central section was the same as the 1800 and Maxi.

@nevillecapper6529 Год назад

@@nickturner2813 it’s about 2ft longer The land crab term was for the Austin 1800 etc. Some people called the 3 ltr the land lobster, ( according to Google search!) ;)

@klwthe3rd Год назад

I'm still learning alot about British cars through Gary and these wonderful shows. In America, We only had Jaguars, Rolls Royces and a few other British marques. And by the time i was a teenager, alot of those brands(MG and Truimph) had already pulled out of the North American market. I think my two favorites are the Jaguar XjS and the Rover 800 Vitesse.

@brianrobson5208 Год назад

Met you at the show Gary, you were every bit the gent you are in your videos.

@colinclark8132 Год назад

Great Video Gary really enjoyed it surely you can get your own TV show keep them coming

@whammond511 Год назад

Terrific video!! I could watch 5 or 6 of these in a row!! I especially loved the ‘Barn Find’ section!! And the Cutaway Rolls was really neat to see as well!!

@jamesreckling6697 Год назад

This is my new favorite RU-vid channel. Bravo Gary!

@davidmcgill3370 Год назад

Brilliant show... 👌

@markwallis7199 Год назад

I'm working on my 1987 XJS V12 outside and every time I take a break it's to come back and watch some more of this channel that I only just discovered. It's so inspirational which is deeply necessary sometimes as I'm sure anyone also doing this type of stuff will agree.

@neilperry2224 Год назад

The A90 Atlantic, has powered convertible roof, and they were a sales flop here in the UK. The Americans liked them.

@classic.obsession Год назад

They were probably too expensive here but style wise I can understand it appealing to the American market…

@neilharrison7555 Год назад

Enjoyed it. Didn't go to the Practical Classics show - wish I had now! Liked the RR, and the 50-50 paint job on the Lotus highlights the difference between old and polished up. Oh, loved the 928 video, looking forward to the upcoming ones.

@davidredding1529 Год назад

p6 rover came in 2000/2200tc and 3500 v8 lovely cars and advanced in the day..i owned a 3500s which was the manual..love your vids Gary keep up the great work you do

@novaseline4u Год назад

I really enjoyed this. I'd have a blast at that show. I have a friend who lives in Birmingham. I don't think he's a car guy though. If you have ever been to the Bartons Arms, you have probably run into him. He had been doing tours of the place. Don't know if he still is.

@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain Год назад

Brilliant video, really enjoyable from start to finish, you have a new subscriber.

@nickturner2813 Год назад

9:22 The Wolseley Six, surprisingly, had a 6-cylinder engine, that one is a 4-cylinder 18/85.

@malcolmeyers6759 Год назад

Agreed that the Austin Atlantic looks great, but what is involved with replacing the rear wheels (e.g. for a puncture)?

@BMan100 Год назад

" yes it's a barn find" "sir, why did you bring all the hay from the barn with you as well?" " it's date stamped..."

@loafdad Год назад

Cracking episode, thx Gary

I know someone here in New Zealand with one of those 'Austins' with the Rolls Royce engine sitting on his drive. Been there for a few decades after he moved it from somewhere else.

@davidthegolfer Год назад

Gary, this Vandan Plas Princess R took me back. I worked at a Renault distributor and took one in part exchange for a new Renault 4TL I sold to British boxer and household name at the time Billy Walker. Imagine that part ex for a Renault 4. Lovely engine that 4 litre RR.

Awesome review. For me, the best part - really the BEST part - is seeing the younger people who have apprenticed in to the industry. Bodes really well for the future of classic cars.

Hey Gary - Enjoyed watching this; it was a great show and plenty of interesting stuff to look at . The team at Footman James put on a great stand and the coffee wasn't bad either ! Great to meet you and chat about the cars and the Lotus and the Rolls both looked great (especially the Rolls 🙂) Not bad as a daily driver ! keep em coming and look forward to seeing what goingon with the Porsche .

@jacqui911s Год назад

...sound wasn't its best so we may have misheard but we're puzzled by the remark concerning the Scimitar axle. We had a SE5a Scimitar GTE slightly older than the one you stood next to. And in 8 years of doing our own servicing never had to dismantle the back axle and fill it with grease! Change the oil and check the level to schedule, yes, but never dismantle it. Providing the vent hole on the axle wasn't blocked that's all that was needed. Sounds like the one you spoke of was well past its best and very noisy.

@classic.obsession Год назад

Hi, it was way back in the 90’s so maybe I’ve remembered wrong. I just recall my friend being instructed to do this by the previous owner when purchasing it. Or was it to do with the gear selectors?anyway, I thought it was strange at the time. The previous owner had lost his leg in a motorbike crash so the drivers seat was moulded into a weird shape because of years of his unusual weight distribution. So after developing sciatica and back trouble and numb legs he reluctantly sold the car!! Regards.

What a car show A minefield of information all under one roof Well done to everyone involved in the show

@nickturner2813 Год назад

Er..don't think it was a "minefield of information" [sic], that would be a really bad thing, a mine of information, maybe, yes.

@peterjones2845 Год назад

The Austen 1800 was the land crab,under steered like you wouldn't believe,I had one in 1974.gear cables used to fill with oil and would be murder to change gear.
