Hi there, just wanted to express my opinion on a terrific car show at Van Dusen Gardens, thanks to the organization that set up and run this great car show and to the participants with these great cars, thanks.😎
That is a hell of a show. Need to get out there one day. Only seen Landcrab in person in UK show, never in North America. Jags…well they are at every show and even in my garage… but 1100’s, 1800’s, oddball Austins… weird and wonderful. I love it.
Thanks for sharing the video Richard! Its always such a great show and why we have been coming from Oregon each year for the last quarter century. Enjoyed talking with you briefly while you were looking at my XJC.
My Ascot Fawn series 2 is one of the two cars with the chrome scoop trim and leaper badges. Was told during the show that Jaguar introduced this enhancement in an attempt to sell the last series 2’s, because the Series 3 V12’s were already on the market. I like the detail. Gary’s car also has the ‘bumper’ bars. Thanks Richard for the awesome video, and belated thanks from 18 months ago for steering me into Etype ownership.
Hi Richard, first thing I thought was "wow .. great to so you in an E Type roaring down the street". It felt like I was sitting next to you going to one of these Automobile events we love so much. Good the wipers were working, that is one of the most important things! Surprised we did see so many S2 and a few S3 but only your S1. Congrats to your sister and father for winning their class and for the maroon OTS you restored. Keep your FHC running 👍🏻
The Lotus with the ‘muffler’ going into the intake is actually an AC Air filter canister, looks very much like a muffler though.AC made air filter canisters and fuel filter housings(Etype).
Once again RMO, your enthusiastic and detailed narration is so appreciated.. Memories of my '68 Triumph TR250 (6 cylinder/TR4A body/red stripe tires) and my youth sustains my interest.
The Rover V8 was bought from GM and was an aluminum alloy engine. Originally the were placed in Buick Specials and Pontiacs. GM first attempt at a compact car. My 1961 Buick had one and was a great tiny V8. They were used until much later in Land Rovers and other British Leyland vehicles.
Thanks so much for this. My son and I came down from Prince George last year, but missed this one. Great to have the commentating from such a knowledgeable person.
That is always a great show, worth missing Monroe swap meet for. The Gordon Keeble was fantastic. Nice to see the Fluevog Jag again too. Wish I'd known you were there to tell you I enjoy your Goodwood videos too and wish i'd go someday. Tickets sell out too soon.
Hi Richard! Jerry Cotton would be delighted with the red E-type 👍. They are super fine restored cars. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹. You have a wonderful channel.
Hi Richard . Jay Leno has a Spectre . And something l only learnt recently , TR3 's had no external door handles , only TR3 A's . Great to see your "e"type on the road and so glad to see you love the Gordon Keeble ......great car ! Thanks Richard ..... l think the mk2 Sprite and mk1 Midget were launched simultaneously with the 948cc engine and drum brakes . And l had a mini pick up with a 1300 GT engine ., what a hoot ! A smooth roof van a 1960 Countryman, a traveller again 1300 power and at least 20 other mini's !!! ❤
RMO, thanks for another fantastic video once again. The only thing you missed was highlighting that Pagoda in the "for sale" section. Beautiful job on the E restoration. Congrats. Cheers from Los Angeles!
I believe that pre-war car with the polished aluminum hood that you caught coming in at the start and then just caught again at the end as it drove out is a 30/98 Vauxhall.
Why do you insist on parking all cars by their marque? If you want to see interesting cars , go to Morges in Switzerland, where you park where you want to. Much more interesting for the owners and the general public.
