Austin ten special. 'the rat'..walk a round

[@billybobholcomb8768]

That car is a true work of art. Even if only car guys can see it in that light.

[@fabbricaitalianaautomobili5859]

This is different, who doesn't like different? Good on you mate. Am definitely going to watch the series, Ciao Ciao

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate....hope you enjoy the series😎

[@daleskidmore1685]

Good luck with the sale Bryan. Some one will be getting a real piece of kinetic art and a great deal of fun.

[@williamforrestall2161]

The Perfect Car!!!!

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate👍

[@Meccanico208]

The Austin 10 Special is a masterpiece, it deserves a price tag that reflects that, and the hundreds of hours into it.

[@caspar0777]

Hello my friend! Strange feeling to see it for sale, it's a part of yourself, but I understand. The show must go on😁. I would like to have it in my garage. For that I have to sell one of my bikes I give you a call soon. Cheers bro

[@phoenixforge5944]

Good luck with the sales you did an awsome job of the build!

[@90FF1]

Great music for the bittersweet announcement. The 'Rat' was an exciting journey. Fasten our seat belts for the next adventure.

[@WilliamPhillips65-69]

Love the ride you built. Came over from Half-Assed Customs in Canada. Keep up the great work....

[@oakswamp]

hey thanks alot mate ...please stick around I have some very cool stuff coming up....cheers

[@mrwolsy3696]

You hit the mark well, it's a great little car.

[@oakswamp]

Thanks 😊

[@paulwhite7475]

Best car build on KZbin...Ever! Wish I was in a position to buy it 😢

[@dougseivwright]

Fantastic build! A work of art. ❤ Good luck with the sale. Loved watching the videos of this car.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Yes life goes on, projects come and go, but you have to make room for the next one! - stay safe

[@plainnpretty]

Thanks for taking us along on the Rat build it’s sad to see it go it’s a very cool car . Thanks Bryan

[@oakswamp]

my pleasure mate , thank you, More to come!

[@simondell5843]

Great build and finished vehicle, very inspiring to see what can be done with some imagination and creativity! Good luck with the sale, and look forward to more projects!

[@tractorhead971]

A exquisite work of art to be cherished by the right kinda connoisseur Sir.

[@dragontattooee]

Best of luck with the sale, here's hoping it's a quick one

[@JohnEldred-q2r]

Really a cool car I love it . What a great car you have sir.

[@oakswamp]

Thanks! 👍

[@yardleypen]

Brilliant! Just watched this having spent the day trying to bash a 1957 Morgan's bonnet into shape (been experimenting with metal shrinking with heat... I've not mastered it yet). Meantime, your wee beastie is most impressive, and so is the thought process and creative spirit that went into it. It's evocative of a lost age, but it's not all gone. Well done.

[@oakswamp]

thanks alot mate....I believe we are the last of the victorian age ...nuts bolts and cogs....I love it

[@PhineasPhlob]

If I had the money, a place to store it, and an understanding girlfriend I'd love to give that a home. It's beautiful - it just looks 'right'.

[@nicholasbell9017]

Such a great little car Bryan. Thanks for all your videos, I love to watch how you create these wicked machines. Also, the music is outstanding, and the people you meet are fun and interesting. Nick.

[@martinjeneway]

It was fun watching the build. such a shame it's got to go, but as you said it's part of the process. Someone's going to get a very reliable fun car

[@rustandoil]

Love it!

[@oakswamp]

Thanks!!

[@WilliamOBrien-s8x]

Gonna miss the rat when it's gone if I had the cash I would snap it up .Great build Brian you have a great eye for what looks right ,keep going fella ,I have all your t shirts and a hoodie, they look great too .Good luck difficult to put a price on the rat ,way over 10k I would expect. Cheers Will

[@colinhead284]

Thank God my garage is full of bikes !! Its been a wonderful series Bryan , it would fit in well at some of the vintage hill climbs with all those mad "specials" . Onwards we go .

[@Doggymcdoggy664]

Nice fun car. Be cool zapping around Down the Spainish beaches. Good luck with sale. I see there is lot of effort and thought gone into the Rat. Thanks for video. 👍✌️

[@Mopar46]

She's a little beauty; pity you have to move it on, but with more builds on the horizon, we're all winners. Hope you get your asking price! Cheers, from OZ.

[@leighharron]

Good luck with the sale, such a cool little car. Great video too!

[@Steve-Chapman64]

Loved the Rat build up. But life moves on. The Hook too was great, that went. You have to free up funds to keep doing what you love most...building the cars. Good luck with the sale Bryan. Sure it will fly out the door. Onwards and upwards.

[@neilgreenfield3392]

Wonderful fun car... I've enjoyed driving it ( 6'1 ).. looking forward to driving the next one ❤️🥰👍

[@donhoughton271]

Nice view from affair

[@oakswamp]

cheers

[@Magpie_Ian]

Greetings from Oz mate. Really enjoyed this vid, I’ve subscribed and I’m adding you to my 2 other fav fab guys, Puddins fab shop and Bad Chad. Very entertaining. Well done.

[@oakswamp]

Nice one thanks mate 👍👍

[@jimsmith-fh1jx]

I would like to get it, but I don't think the USA would let me put it on the road without changing a bunch of things on it. It's a cool car. Waiting to see what you build next.

[@christianstage1501]

So sad to see it go, but thanks for the build, it has been a big joy to follow !

[@andrewbroughton-tompkins5672]

Really, really enjoyable watching you at play... Looking forward to more..and sorry to see this one go, but, well, that's life.

[@Paul_Hassell]

Best of luck with the sale Bryan, the Rat looks an awesome bit of kit and somebody somewhere will get a fantastic purchase. Onwards with the next project Bud.

[@lanceuppercut2483]

Great car, great videos. I would love this awesome ride. Ahh...next life

[@elmerkemp5316]

great job

[@oakswamp]

Thank you

[@rdt1104]

coolest looking car on the road

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude... gonna build a cooler one next year !

[@NWLee]

It's a treasure, you've done good. Cheers!

[@norbertr823]

Cool AF

[@seaofcronos675]

A beautiful job of work . 👍

[@mikego18753]

Great car mate,thumbs up!

[@pimpg6323]

Good luck will the sale! I'm building a Datsun Special out of a Datsun 720 driveline and Datsun 520 chassis. My version of a race special that Datsun never built... but perhaps should have. I find lots of inspiration in your builds. I appreciate your tenacity and problem solving when building truly unique autos.

[@timwilson4967]

It's brill that proper mechanical and aesthetic works of art and engineering can still be made, found and used in Britain. Small and perfectly formed by you, Bryan, this Special is delightful. Bl**dy well done. Btw, l don't think l've seen a 'guide price' yet; could you give us a 'steer', please, man?❤

[@oakswamp]

hey mate thanks ...Sas says i can keep it for any less than 10 k ...gonna see how it goes , market is shite and im happy to wait

[@mgermca]

Brilliant car and video! Well done Bryan!

[@themilitaryhistorycollecti5641]

Love the car and the video!

[@Wheelgauge-bt7ox]

That’s one sweet little lady!!

[@Bigsinglecoils]

Love it, man. Cheers from NZ!

[@MakerGuy]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@racebanning6390]

Diggin all the Vintage Gizmos n Gadgets ,you used. Thats always been my style too. Swap meets n Ebay finds. And our creative wheels turning. 1 thing i always strive for is dependability and simplicity. Original body colors make it Authentic. Its such a Kool ride Brother, im sure its already sold🤙🤙🔧🛠️🔧🛠️🏁🏁🏁

[@oakswamp]

exactly that mate ...as i put right at the beginning of the rat series ' adding power makes you faster on the straights, simplify and add lightness.....colin chapman" amen brother !!!

[@andyfelthouse9234]

Good luck Bryan. What a shame you have to sell it but it’s understandable.

[@nigelperren2645]

Awesome 😎

[@garypoulton7311]

Great. But I imagine getting it road legal anywhere in Europe would a challenge, Id love it, but here in Norway, which is a hangaround vasil state of the EU, they would have a fit when you presented it for approval.

[@daveross1004]

Same thing in North America.

[@baxdesign]

LOVE this car. Great design brief, and well executed. Sad to be not currently flush and be on the wrong side of the world :lol: Good luck with sale, hopefully it goes to a great home where it's treasured.

[@weg1]

Fantastic job, a real treasure. But I can't find the tips jar.

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate .....paypal.me/oakswamp?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB

[@haydenw6585]

Such a cool car , you nailed the design

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude

[@tedayer1823]

Sad to hear you are selling the Rat, but I understand why. I think the car is an absolute masterpiece. Can't wait to see more progress on the Leaf. Great job.

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate

[@DouglasSpeidel]

2 thumbs up. I enjoy your u tube show

[@paulwhiteman3625]

I reckon whoever buys it will be chuffed to bits and it'll be interesting to see if it goes abroad!

[@FredKustomGarage]

Great car, but impossible to register in France. Good sale

[@boydsargeant7496]

I’m sure a lovely guy will buy it Bry, so much love went into it! Hang loose bro!

[@oakswamp]

hope so mate cheers bro

[@faroironandcustoms6577]

Nice!!!! Good luck with the sale!!!!

[@oakswamp]

thanks, cheers mate ...

[@HootisGarage]

I want it. 🤙🏻

[@blacksquirrel4008]

That’s art

[@simonlacey6153]

It’s been great watching the build. I’m definitely interested in taking it off your hands but I’m struggling to place a value on it. A guide to give me a starting point would be great.

[@danielleekirkpatrick8579]

Would love to build a special one day ❤

[@rickm5806]

I love that car! Gonna hate to see it go.

[@oakswamp]

there are more to be built mate ...cheers dude

[@majormallock]

Hi, I love the Rat videos, I would like build one to, but where do you get the bits? I saw the video on going to pick up a chassis a engine plus bits. Ebay is the only place I can think of and those prices are silly. Could you do a video of how you find stuff how contact is made etc. Also another video I would like to see is one about registration of your vehicles with the dvla, what do you need in terms of identity

[@oakswamp]

only buy cars with a current v5 mate

[@besenzon1]

Good luck with the sale 👍

[@donhoughton271]

Cool car😊😊

[@JohnnyJalopyArt]

she is kool!

[@davidprocter3578]

I used to be 5'10" not been that for some time. More like 5'8" these days. Could I reach the pedals??? I also get cold these days, do you think a brolley would keep in the warm??? Main use would be to race across London would I have to pay any of T**t faces charges??? Will the wheels smoke up and the car doughnut essential for provoking the City police force. A bit brassic at present bloody bank puts you through a grand inquisition every time you want to withdraw more than a tenner. So would you consider swapping for a 306 half a dozen knacker lawnmowers and a Honda FT 500. also knackered.I could probably throw in some old iron to sweeten the deal.

[@markhandley7665]

i cant believe you are selling it

[@paulmyfinger8272]

I would love the Rat, but I doubt the NZTA🇳🇿 would allow it on our roads.😞

[@mcm9329]

I dont think they would let me reg it in Australia... buyer will be lucky

[@MrSlugbait]

Would you consider a raffle? (that'll be the only way I could afford the Rat) How do you put a price on such a work of art?

[@stephenpickering9831]

Not everyone understands. Ownership of the completed car is probably not the main drive in building it. If you're like me 75% of the fun is the engineering challenge of putting it together. And while you're doing that dreaming of the next project. Ill keep watching this channel don't worry.

[@oakswamp]

hahahah that is exactly it Steve...although one after another the dream is most fun hahahahah. austin 7 morris 10 and la frog en route!!!!!!

[@gerard4444]

Hai, can i ask.. How many have you built ? I love the Concept, its perfect…….AND..it looks Save..👍 Up too the next one..thanks.

[@simonlacey6153]

I’ve sent you an email Bryan regarding buying it. Hopefully you’ve got it. Cheers, Simon

[@dwansbo]

Are the cobwebs extra?😅😅😅

[@sassybeatnik9452]

😎😅

[@fartingduck5316]

first comment and it comes with mixed feelings. I wish I could put an offer in, but I just dont have the Money. would you take a 300 Deere as a trade ? Cant wait to see what's next.

[@corvus1238]

Amazing car! I'm curious about the street legal status of the it. How do you get away with no lights, mudguards etc. I don't know how it complies with historic status, being so heavily modified. Enlighten me someone.

[@geoffryall-harvey7324]

Daylight only MOT and the status of mudguards is "vague". If it's not raining you don't need them - different story if it is raining. They aren't required for the MOT test.

[@corvus1238]

@@geoffryall-harvey7324 So would it be historic then? I thought if a car had been heavily modified it wouldn't comply.

[@geoffryall-harvey7324]

These are issues best not discussed on an open forum like this. The DVLA reads these posts too - as others have found out to their cost

[@oakswamp]

it will come with a actual mot ....not a historic one

[@daviddjerassi]

Could you hill climb or race it ?.

[@papermoontatum]

What kind of $ are we talking

[@oakswamp]

see description mate

[@randall1959]

Man I wish I had the money

[@rangieman]

Oh Noooooooooooo 😱

[@dwansbo]

Oak swam prats?

[@KRAMPUS1933]

For a minute there I thought you said welcome to WOKE swamp... I nearly spat out my beer....

[@keithhoughton4308]

Put KZbin subtitles on and that's what they think too!

[@h-j.k.8971]

If there was any way I could get this thing road legel here in Germany I would be at your door in a jiffy, but since Brexit, no chance. So sad.

[@alanrobinson6257]

is this even road legal ?

[@michaeljosling]

Built by Bryan Andrews, Chief Designer/Artist/Engineer and Life Style Philosopher... He's not the Messiah - He's just a very Clever Boy!

[@oakswamp]

hahahahahah ...'can i have a stone mum? '

[@SteveAbrahall]

Sorry dude! I always thought the Rat would be a keeper. I think this is going to be like that hot young brilliant girlfriend that ran off and broke your heart :-) Anyway I'll go out and buy a lotto ticket today if I win big I'll be sending you an email!

[@oakswamp]

hahahahah cheers Steve ....gotta be honest if it dosnt sell i wont be unhappy

[@davejobe6282]

Kinda like one of the kids leaving home to go off on their own 😒

[@daveross1004]

Totally illegal in Canada.

[@oakswamp]

hahahahah ...unlucky

[@alexloweh1]

Fantastic work pal.

[@andyfelthouse9234]

Good luck Bryan. What a shame you have to sell it but it’s understandable.
