Bolting huge power to small chassis, let chips drive it is far from it. Beautiful as your film work. Merci. :)

Gotta be one of the coolest 25 year olds about.

Your Beetle is beautiful man tha's crazy aplausos 👏 🙌 👌

I would dearly like a new A110 , I would dearly love a 1970s A110

Nagyon szép auto

About 20 years ago I used to own a red 1974 Mk 2. It was a LHD US car, rebuilt before I bought it. Except for a small oil leak from the seal onto the exhaust manifold, the Lotus engine was reliable. The Sunbeam 4-speed transmission was rebuilt shortly before I got it, and it felt like new. The electrics were mostly fine except for one day when the power to the added fuel pump vanished. That problem challenged 2 Ph.d. electrical engineers and 1 Cal Tech physics Ph.d. So I called up the experts at the UK's Cropredy Bridge Garage in UK, who sent me a wiring diagram. That helped and we fixed it. The Jensen-Healey was great fun to drive. I sold it at auction for about what I paid for it. The buyer owned a bakery in Arnhem Holland. He shipped it back there, which is where it likely still resides. It's former home in my garage has been taken over by a Honda S2000, which I keep pristine and fully stock. The S2000 revs higher, corners better, but sometimes I still miss the more primitive Jensen-Healey.

I used to have a '73 Jensen Healey in white . I used it to tow my MG Midget race car . It didn't like that and I had to replace the main bearings before selling it . I'm 6' 3" and had about a dozen Spitfires , got in them easily .

All good from the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS

Lol "100 miles a week, I drive the balls off this thing" I do more then that in a day.. But cool car and story 😁👍

Hi Adam, great video, best Jensen Healey video on KZbin 👍. I just watched another with you being followed by a blue JH fitted with a V8 engine and you were clearly easily pulling away from him in acceleration. I have a white 74 Mk 2 and have also done the 2.2 conversion. A couple of questions are you using the standard camshafts and how is the 4 speed. Gearbox holding up to the extra power. I heard the Sunbeam Rapier 4 speeds were only ever meant for 120 horses.

The new Alpine is BIGGER...

The whole point of driving the car is the smile on your face? We, who drive Mazda Miatas, know exactly what you mean! But absolutely, Alpines are magnificent machines. No doubt, most of us could be satisfied with a car like that!

Great Production!, and Awesome insight..but the most important question is....does Jay Leno have one? Considering his love for French cars. But your right this is a very original and very smart thinking, important car.

I wouldn't say original since it's prettybmuch a luxury lotus elise, but it's definitely a nice car!

Excellent video. I enjoyed it very much. Thank You.

WoW 01:33 good job

God of war 4 is thé bast

Beautiful video, I am French and I understand your English no point here. ;-) The sound is well balanced I don’t get the criticism. I subscribe because your work is fantastic and you deserve more subs.

That it's badass 👍👍👍👍👍👍0:03

Such as shame that the new car was a commercial disappointment.

There's work to be done on the sound quality. The volume is too low - I barely hear the interviewees (I hear the birds chirping way better than the person speaking); your accent is quite noticeable and you mush your words, yet you put music in the background so we can make out even less of what you're saying... Too bad, because it looks interesting and the cinematography is quite good. Another vid ruined by unnecessary music and bad sound... Let's hope it will improve in the future. :)

Man shoutout to this guy for keeping it running and daily driving it. I feel the same about my old Volvo 240 wagon as this guy does for his car. Neat video. Side note, is it just me or is this fella’s accent sort of American? Could just be the accent of where he’s from in the UK but it’s something I noticed.

The deal today for a sport car maker is not the race for engine horse power but it is to make a performant sport car with a light weight and a small CO2 emission. A ratio weight / hp combined with a light weight will always be more performant on a twisting circuit than the same ratio combined with heavy weight. in other words the ALPINE A110 S ratio 1114 KG / 292 HP (3,81) will be more performant than the same ratio 1440KG / 378 HP (3,81) (....Porsche 718 ). Unfortunately, on the commercial market, the car makers attract customers with the number of horse power.. 600hp, 700hp, and now some at 800 hp. This is the race to horse power with crazy CO2 emission because this cars are heavy. The Alpine A110 is the only one on the right way. The Alpine engineers worked a lot to save weight in a daily usable car. All sport car makers (Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes....have to change their strategy and work to create performant supercars, BUT with half C02 emission (I am not talking about electrical development which is not a solution because batteries create other big pollution issues people forget). ALPINE shows the direction

Nice little film which swayed me to go out and buy one which needs a bit of work to the engine and so I would love to know where you went for the rebuild?

What an amazing put together video, another underrated channel

I first drove one of these in the early 90s belonging to a coworker. He kept telling me to rev higher before shifting - I'd had a TR6 and MGB prior. Once I hit that sweet spot around 5500-6k rpm I was blown away. I now have two in my garage undergoing restoration. Thank you for the motivation in this presentation and congrats to Adam on having such a fine example.

Thank you, great to see the Jensen Healey and the Interceptor in the background

Good video but your English is hard to make out

Despite having once (about 1987) been a passenger in a J-reg Frog Eye Sprite (if memory serves) I'm sorry to say that I had completely forgotten about these motors. Thanks for the reminder 🤔. Can't afford one now as my £ is all tied up in a 1972 Rover P5B lol. Excellent production. Has there been any filming done on the Interceptor that I saw lurking on the garage? If so please post a link and I will watch it. Thanks 😃. Stay safe out there 👍.

Loved this final product man! Gonna share it on my community tab for you ❤

Just got my 73 JH going after sitting for 12 years, she's running really nice. These are totally forgotten and overlooked classics. Nothing like the noise of a twin weber or del screaming away at 7k rpm. Mine is red too, somehow it's the best color for this design.

Nice film about an under appreciated 1970s British Classic car

First class job well done 👍

You did a cracking job with this! It was half a tank of juice well spent ;)

Nice to see a car not many people seem to know about in the hands of an enthusiastic owner. Great engine noise as well on the video.

Amazing production, love the drone footage, and the engine sounds!

Terrific stuff - very interesting and well produced, plus, looks like a great car,. The owner is clearly very enthusiastic and an asset to any classic car club! Well done.

Thank you for video! I really enjoyed the editing and footage.

Awesome!!! You have a new subscriber! I recommend checking SMZeus. It’s a handy tool to help grow your channel!

Shiny!

Just one thing. What do you mean you couldn't own it sooner? I got my first and still only car to date when I was 14. I saved money since I was 11 with minor works and shows I'd do and when it went on sale I just had to get it. It's now been with me for almost 13 years.

Hey it’s Jordan here, appreciate all the love you guys are having for the car. If you wanna keep up to date with me, follow 404_missinglink on Instagram :D

Great film keep doing them

This car is god tier wtf

Well, done. Keep ‘em coming.
