When most people think about pre war cars they think of little old Tin Lizzy's going 15 miles an hour, but the reality is that there were pre war cars roaring through racetracks and the country side well over 100 miles an hour! If you have any friends who are skeptical of pre war cars being fun, then show them this and prove them wrong. In this video I chose to highlight some cars that make me really feel the excitement of the era, my personal favorite, the Alfa Romeo 8c 2300, the Auto Union Type C, Mercedes W125, and a few more. It is my pleasure to show pre war race cars in POV, startup, and ripping down the road.

-“Who says Pre War cars are boring?” -No one in their right mind!!

I live pre war cars, they're one of my favorite eras of automotive history. The beautiful styling, simplicity, abundancy of manual transmissions and even the fact that they were easy to service on and repair. It makes me wish cars from that era were still made today. It's a good thing the style is kept alive with neoclassic cars!

No electric car can ever sound as good as these!

Electric cars sounds boring and weak compared to this.

Pre war race cars where badass and very interresting with raw sounds.

Great cars. Pre war cars are fantastic but it's a real shame that all the cars shown here are not accessible to people under the age of 70 or for people who don't have millionaire parents. I'm the only person under the age of 60 in my pre war club and i can't go to any meetings because they're on Wednesday afternoons when normal people have to work. Most clubs are unfortunately full of 'investment gurus' that think high car prices are good for their hobby. I'm looking forward to the next price crash when younger people might be able to get their hands on them.

Yep, these shown here are all either vintage pure race cars or really high end sports cars. I am building a vintage car which is a fast sports car but less top end (it's a replica Riley Brooklands) but it will still be fantastic to drive. It's not cheap but doable on a decent salary. I hear you about the vintage car clubs. They all talk about getting more 'younger people' involved without realising they can't afford them and their magazines are full of pictures of retired people going for lunch mid week! Even the up keep of the cars is getting expensive here, especially somewhere like NZ where we have to buy a lot of our parts from overseas. I am considered young in the club at just over 50 and it's only now I can really afford this hobby.

Well said. Is there anything we humans can't ruin when there's money to be made?

@thephilpott2194 24 дня назад

Seconded. Afternoon meetings are highly unfortunate.

@thephilpott2194 24 дня назад

@@asciimation Indeed. You've had the job of cobbling together a decent engine from 3 or 4 shagged out ones of notably different specs, so anything you've achieved is hard fought. Design details at Riley during this specific period changed every time someone returned from lunch. Apropos nothing in particular, there was a bloke who teamed up two Riley 9 engines to try and make a straight eight, although i've the suspicion that all he may have achieved in the long term was buggering two engines beyond repair.

@@thephilpott2194 "changed every time someone returned from lunch" I wonder if that was how they came up with all the models too! I can never keep them all straight in my head. Didn't Riley themselves make a V8 from two 9 blocks? Or am I imagining that? Need to dig out my Riley books again.

It was pre-war Alfa Romeos that won the 2 first Formula one championships, in 1950 and 1951.

Now this is real driving! No bells, no whistles, just pure adrenaline, driving by the seat of your pants! Oh! To be a rich bastard, ah well, dreams are cheap.

@workman122 5 месяцев назад

Well yes the pre-war cars that are very rare and cost multiple hundreds of thousands of pounds plus are exciting. The reality of anything vaguely affordable for 99% of people is a plodding small engine that lumbers up to 60 to 70mph flatout if you're lucky and isn't capable of cruising long distances at more than 50. Still I suppose it would be exciting if you need to stop quickly from that speed ;-)

@patrickjean-philippe7679 29 дней назад

I love the pre war cars and especially the racing ones. I bought my first one at age 28… it was in bad condition.

@parrotraiser6541 9 дней назад

I built the Pocher model of the Alfa Romeo Monza. It's nice to see the real thing.

@theoteddy9665 5 месяцев назад

that alfa looks and sounds way advanced than the rest, beautiful car

@PreWarMotoring 5 месяцев назад

Probably the most extraordinary car ever made

@vinesauceobscurities 5 месяцев назад

People who make comments like that have likely never seen a Darracq 200HP, Fiat S76 or any vintage aero-engined car in action. Folks back then were already pushing the limits of car tech as early as when cars became a marketable item.

Pre War cars are the best.

When a Tesla can sound like that w125 then I'll be somewhat impressed but still not stupid enough to buy 1

@thephilpott2194 25 дней назад

Well yes. Apart from the dullness and the constant threat of conflagration a Tesla is not quiet- you're interrupted by the sound of banknotes rapidly departing. They'll soon have the resale value of the Exxon Valdez.
