Classic British Cars E Type, MGTC and MGA

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Gorgeous sound, isn't it? I loved the roar of my TwinCam

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

A dignified roar, of course.

Great car love the video great presentation. & to here the story. Great thumbs up.

Good to see the earlier MG roadsters mentioned, the TC-TF were stylish little cars.

[@joegarcia54]

Most enjoyable

[@allencrider]

I've seen very few twin cam MGAs but a lot of pushrod MGAs. Afla Guiletta twin cams sold a lot more, at least where I lived in California.

[@barry5643]

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@preem7]

Brilliant!!!

[@JackpodyDK]

Haha, the owner seems like such a jolly chap!

[@spurrclassiccars1530]

Lovely cars

[@promerops]

No personal experience, unfortunately, but everything I've read indicates that the Aston Martin DB4 was nothing like as fast as an E-Type. Interesting to see a driver double de-clutching in the E-Type - these days very few people have that skill or even know about it.

The E-Type was nothing as fast as today’s Mazda Miata, either around corners or in a straight line. Except for top speed, which is about the same. I know: I’ve owned both. And the performance specs bear me out. When downshifting, I heel-and-toe the Miata’s superb, close-ratio 6-speed - not because I need to, but because it’s fun.

[@promerops]

@@johntechwriter Performance comparison: such is progress. Heel and toe - the enjoyment of driving a fine car - more power to you (no pun originally intended).

[@huskyflylangley6053]

I love double clutching. I have an old jeep (1953) and trucks (1958)but the fun is still the same. That left hand pedal and three speed column shift ensures theft deterrence these days, plus no power steering and brakes means you drive within your limits and don't try anything stupid, also ensuring a longer life!😃

REAL Englishmen. What have we done to ourselves now ?!

[@Redstoneprime316]

currently waiting for the "Jaguar is Indian, not British" comments.

[@johntechwriter]

I think today’s generation of smart-asses are so ignorant about anything related to Jaguar, they are deprived of the opportunity to make snide comments.

[@seinsmeld13]

Cheerrio!!

[@unigateman]

Whats the opening music

[@hueyhoolihan582]

did anybody really ever drive it at 60mph? i'm skeptical... i've got one of it's progeny, the TD. i'll take it up to 55mph on occasion but the RPMs tell me it can stand no more: that's it. the car is happy at 40-45. one can throw a taller differential on it and attain higher speeds at lower rpms, but 50-55 horsepower can only do so much and will struggle with anything beyond on moderate incline if so modified.

[@norincobro658]

1961 E type FHC is my pick for most beautiful ever. MGs? gutless boats for girls.

[@alexgreen1559]

As an MG owner, I'll take that!

[@racketman2u]

norincobro how old are you, 12?

[@stewartw.9151]

Funny you should say that, obviously from ignorance. I remember to this day racing an E-Type at night in my MGB (which I admit had a few engine mods) on the road from Harrogate town to join the M1, along a twisty country 2-lane. The E could not get away and believe me he was trying!

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. :-(((

[@paulhunter123]

arnt the americans still trying to ban imports vrs detroit junk, ie vw

[@arodrigues2843]
