I had a 1929 Whippet Model 96A which had a finger tip control switch. Mine was modified as the switches needed upgrading. Bosch no longer make the switch. It appears this 98A also had the starter on the Steering Wheel, not on the floor. Our 96A is still in the family in Albany Western Australia and like this one is unrestored but still going!

What surprised me is all the dirt and rust under the hood. Good maintainance starts with cleanliness. It all looked a bit neclected. Certainly compared to the outside of the car. Carbs and air filter are S2 instead of S1.

Your tractor tires are on backwards. It's V tread the V. Is supposed to be pointing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tires are on backwards

I love listenyto him talk about cars. Lets see someone invent an emgine today that wont be outdone for 20 years or so.

All the illiterates need to stop pronouncing Steve’s name as “saline” like the contact lens solution and with the emphasis on the first syllable. Suh-LEEN. It’s his name.

It would be interesting to see him try it when the sand is dry.

Looks like a very clean and original car. Stunning color. Thanks for the insights; very interesting. Well done, it runs. Keep it alive, original and get the Mustang back on the road.

Gaaaaaay

In the unboxing aside from the 2 charging cord what is that plastic small bracket in the box?

Can’t figure out how to remove the door and swap the other way.

Jay knows cars that's for sure. I had no idea that Duesenbergs were only built in 1928.

Great car! Great to see MAM still exists. Raced SCCA there for many years and always did well. I can still do laps in my mind. So many great memories of that track and all my friends.

I love TRX

This guy looks and dresses like a homeless bum

🏆Jay Leno 🏆 king of 🍀 cars 👀✌️

What’s the app called? My instructions didn’t mention that. Thanks.

Mad Max type beat

Great to hear Lennon extolling Duesenburgs.

Yes sir. I bought my Frogeye back in 73 and it's followed my my whole life since. I absolutely love everything about Sprites/Midgets and especially racing versions. Thanks for sharing your English car passion with us.

I had a yellow 78 midget in 1985 while serving USN in Virginia. she was a fun car, liked to run hot at times, and the zenith stromberg could be touchy,, such a fun car put in a 1975 triumph spitfire 1500 engine in because the original was shot,, I remember that car as the only car I have ever owned where I could sit in the car, open the door and touch the rear tire

that suspension is terrible.

Wow. Nice spotting.

Один сказал -это круто ..... стадо теперь думает это шедевр))))

And Letterman thinks he’s cooler than this guy…

Yours is actually a 106E model as it's a left hand drive, export model. 105E is for UK right hand drive. And the clutch should definitely be hydraulic, as there should be two cylinders (same size) under the bonnet.

Just received mine. How did you detach your fridge door? Also, is there any way we can charge the battery separately?

this engine mister have big issues, water leak to the exhaust and also burning oil like a factory chimney,, it is a difficult situation ,,, better fix it in a mechanics workshop classic way, new pistons se new casket new valves and seats treatment and reshape the head surface ... and will last many many years after that

Steve, I love Spridgets and have two RWA Midgets and a Morris Minor - GO A SERIES ENGINES! I love your channel - but I have to ask, man, what is going on with your TC? any engine un-sticking progress???? Tom

5/!7/24. Interested in how to get this unlocked. I'm facing a similar situation with a 53 MGTD I found on Craigslist. In storage for 30+ years. Watching and learning.

Idk, I think it would be pretty cool to drive a 1969 Shelby Mustang 🤷

Steve, the car looks good, motor sounds good. I told Ken to get it on your chassis dyno. We used a VP276 cam, which more of street performance cam, so maybe not hot as needed for all-out racing. When we built this engine to FIA 998 sec for road rally, I knew it would have to do some lower speed stuff and have some street manner. It right at 10.0 to 1 so a way to wake it more would be moe race cam and little more compression ratio. Now it should fine off 93 premium.

2006 Nissan Altima.

Does the parking assist work on 2022 v6 models ? Which parks your car automatically? I have a devender 2022 v6 xs edition

Man, i wish some rich gearhead would buy it and resurface it. Such a shame such an amazing track is sitting in disrepair. No track should ever meet that fate. Especially not one with such a great layout so close to my home!

Super. Use the actual battery terminals, not the accessory terminals, and apply anti-oxidation compound to the battery clamps. Good luck. 💙 T.E.N.

Anybody figure how to turn on the cooled seats? lol

At the prince of gas today you could fill both cars and have change

That is a doozy of a story!

Some guys know about car models and features because they heard about them or read about them Jay Leno knows about those features because the one in his garage has them.

More vixen content pls

Вау! Додж тои четверти 3/4👍🏽🔥💪🏽

I didn't think you could make a Jeep much dumber, but I stand corrected.

bro has 8 wheels and loses to an old ahh truck😭

Where is the update on this car? I thought for sure you would show what happened to the car. This was 2 years ago. Please show us the car now and maybe take us for a ride.

Imagine if Jay was your dad or grandpa! Getting dropped off at school in a different car regularly 😎

Driveline is not exactly the same as the Spitfire. The gearbox and diff are different. Also the single Stromberg setup wasn't used in UK, our rubber bumper cars retained the twin SUs. Waxstats on late cars like mine. The standard box is a modified Marina unit but the Spitfires single rail box with overdrive can be fitted with a little work and the overdrive is wonderful for cruising. Drops the revs by about 20 percent. Many have also been fitted with the Ford type 9 five-speed which requires modifications to the crossmember but it's a nice unit. Also there is a 3.5:1 crown wheel and pinion final drive set available which was never offered by the factory. A telescopic damper conversion does wonders for the handling (from personal experience). Nice video and I agree that the 1500 cars are under-appreciated.

Woah, who's triple rear axle rig is that?

I think I can actually hear an ice sheet splitting. Good thing fresh water doesn't hurt our oceans. Other than that, it's a very shiny compensation. 😅
