These beautiful cars brighten up even a dull or rainy day! They set their own agenda! Money well spent, these are "not just transport"

[@valcatlin290]

We bought one of these in Buckinghamshire for 30 pounds in 1969. The owner lived in Norfolk and had left it behind after he moved. We had to collect some of the parts from a local garage, where they had been for several months. There was also a yellow one in my village around this time, this one had been restored more than ours. We still had the old flick-out indicators but you had to thump them on the inside sometimes to get them to work. Wish I could remember the registration number!

Nice video! We here at Viking Bags really love your content!

[@matthewhiggins3555]

Really informative.

[@billmoss7723]

Quite excellent, and a real education. I loved the comment about kids yelling "Nice car, Mister!" I get that when out in my 1951 Standard Vanguard.

What a beauty

[@Dextamartijn]

Nice looking car

[@mrgrumpy5116]

Mine was black, and it went well, at that time we didn't have the speed limit.

SUPER!!!!

[@benfel9403]

In one of the episodes of Bergerac, there is a 'normal' placed gearstick in the car, does that mean it had been modified for some reason or was there an era of these that did not have the column shift gearstick? Does anyone know? Just wondered.

[@robinbrace9512]

I love these cars - always did! It was mentioned that this car was once green. That intrigued me because the late British film actor John Mills had one of these in green! Is this John Mill's old car? I ask because it is also mentioned that his was only available in about three colours not including green.

I’ve sat in those dicky seats once in the roadster of the dad of a friend of mine. It’s comfortable indeed! Little scary at first because you don’t have a seatbelt though :p

[@nygelmiller5293]

Really nice MUSIC! What is it?

[@VinnyDaQ]

This car MUST be related to the Kardashians - just look at that ginormous bootie !

[@starmountainkid]

Nice to see ordinary people and their cars.

[@peterbrown9662]

I didn't like the window in the drivers door flapping about as he drove along, I'd have that fixed straight away.

Is Cubic Centimeters a common displacement measurement for British Cars? Cause as an American I hear CC and think motorcycle engines. Most European cars measure displacement here in liters.

[@pjmbidge632000]

A 1000 millilitres or a 100 centilitres is 1 Litre, and 1 litre is approximately 61 cubic inches. I believe it is only the American automotive and Aircraft industry who still use cubic inches. The rest of the world use the metric system. The European and Asia markets tend to use smaller engines which are more highly engineered. A modern American Mustang produces around 470 BHP, from it's 5 litre V8, An Italian Ferrari produces in excess of 710 BHP from a 3.9 litre V8 engine.

[@emerycurtis8600]

@@pjmbidge632000 You're comparing a Mustang to a Ferrari? The 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500 5.2 liter V-8 produces 760 BHP and cost less than $59,000 US.

One of the worst ugliest most stupid unreliable cars ever made-apart from that its ok.
