was that a fish eye or a drone you were using?

It's called jamaican yellow.

Nice one.

I had 5 of these , 4 saloons and a coupe. Great cars

My business partner still has his 74 Ghia still drives lovely better than modern rubbish

Great video Mark, glad you finally sold it and sounds like the buyer got a good deal with the windscreen & bumper etc thrown in. Look forward to the Sweeney car now moving forward - keep us updated on progress - cheers Pete

Got one of these almost a year ago. A Ghia spec & body is in VNM condition. Had a new fuel pump fitted & will be getting a new carburettor for it soon.

Seatbelt

Just came across this video. Thanks for posting. Brought back some great memories of my childhood there 👍.

lovely car, few issues but shame we cant get old style petrol for these classics as it might be happier than on e10 or e5. many thanks for video

Interesting to see the differences between this and the standard saloons. Certainly a bit less chrome and a more utilitarian upholstery.

Please lose the music.

I'd take the old grandad over any modern sht..... brilliant old motor

I've got a '76 GXL 3 litre that I picked-up from it's 1st owner down near Munich over 25 years ago . Although mine was bought originally in Germany she was specced with the British 3 litre motor . I love her , and my '75 BMW E3 (also 3 litre ) , great pair of cars

It's frightening how cars have changed in the last 40 years let alone 100. Nice car.

Drove Mk 4 Mondeos for 12 years all high mileages found them really reliable

Really think they're nice looking cars especially with a vinyl roof, usually sunroof too.

My Aunt that was a Tax Inspector bought a new one GXL I believe early seventies then a Nissan😅

The SWEENY used a Ford Consul GT, it was much the same car but with w=a 2.5 litre v6 that had a shorter stroke engine so it revved up faster than the big 3.0 lire Granada

Engine sounded like a bag of spanners at one point so I’m glad you said the idle wasnt ideal . To my eye it’s a stunningly beautiful car , clearly there is that association with The Sweeney series which I grew up with . Cracking job sir 👌 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A very good, informative video. I have recently fitted a brand new cylinder head to my 1966 'BGT, but having watched this video, I have decided to take the car in to my trusted local garage, as I'm too cowardly to wave flames in the vicinity of the carburettors!

Excellent Mark. Nice to meet you and my Mg 1300 looks great on camera mate.

Great video again Mark, weather looked perfect and it looked really busy at the show. Can't believe nobody snapped up your Mk1 Granada at £4200 ! - What a Bargain. Good to hear you'll be back on the Sweeney car now the Moggy Minor is nearly done - look forward to seeing the progress and some 'Copper Bronze' paint going on ASAP!

Getting there Mark, keep up the good work!

The car is coming along nicely. Your boot handle is upside down. 👍

Fun & games! I am restoring a 1968 Convertible, just finished the outside panels in Cellulose old English White..

Remember selecting third in my father's minor for uphill and noticed there wasn't much difference from selecting first😅

Certainly a lot of these classics were no doubt fitted with engine cut out switches to help keep them from being stolen and written off

Aunt had the brand new one GLX she was a tax inspector

Thats the avengers music for the lotus Europà 😂

My theory is people are more willing to spend more money on a car that looks nice psychology and all that

Love the way you avoid reaching and bending while doing the job by hanging the boot 😀

Best fitting an engine cut out switch or two disguised or concealed with these old cars without immobilisers i had a montego and the rear wash wiper switch was actually the engine cut out switch so that's why nobody ever got it 😀🤸😂🤸😂🤸😂

Great when you can adjust the playback speed exactly 😀

Comments on KZbin are a godsend for future people buying these cars

Great job on the Moggy is it 2 pack paint your using

What a load of bull

I would be interested if it was a rubber bumper model but 😢missing with a chrome 😢

My mum had not just one but two Minor police cars over the years first one was a 1970 and second one was a71

Doing a great job and its going be a great little moggy when its all finished and done

That CB radio was perfect

Good progress again Mark, keep it going so you can get back onto the Sweeney car ASAP 😉

Fab job. Little morris coming along nicely

Looking well coming along nicely

Looking good Mark

Hi Mark good video. Loved seeing the moggy get a refurbed boot you done a fab job of showing how one job leads to another but all worth it in the end x

Another great video, liking the MM as I am currently doing mine. So watching your adventures with it. As a fellow spectacles wearer noticed you struggling with the plastic goggles. I get mine from Home Bargain they are cheap, nice and clear and will fit over your glasses. Hope this helps

My parkside £25 from Lidl is great different speed settings up to 6 and 125mm size disks and replacement Bushes as well I get my flux wire £4 a roll as I don't always use my gas on thin metal as my mig welder takes both it ideal for when I do welding on cars in my spare time as I work full time for a company nice job on the boot nothing is easy doing any jobs on old cars and replacement panels never fit perfectly all ways you have to do make them fit 👍

Hi just wondering why you have no spark shield on your grinders , you have gloves on to protect your hands but nothing to protect your eyes , having worked as a car body repairer even with glasses on sparks could get around prescription glasses so i would have used googles . i have a 53 series MM , a traveller and a series 3 jaguar sovereign

Good video again Mark, hopefully will help someone doing the same job on a Moggy boot lid. I find there is always something that doesn't quite line up on retro repair panels that makes more work but hay-ho Keep up the great work/videos 👍
