What's my Rover doing there?🤣 See Sven spotted that as well😀.Cheers for the shout out! I know Maia and me have this running joke about Stags, but I have to agree - if I ever got one it would have to be in Java Green - love that colour. And really like Rootes group cars. Great museum👍

As you know i didn't intend buying the Jag i fancied a Stag i have always loved them and somehow i ended up with the XJS. The Stag its a 70's thing like the Chopper.

Some cracking exhibits in there Glyn, Dolomite Sprint and Avenger! Peugeot 405s....for the thousands that were built there's not many survived! 👍

Your right rarely see an Avenger or 405. I have not seen a 605 for a long time. I thought they were nice looking cars. Don't know if any still left i suppose they must be some. Thanks for watching.

It is interesting to hear how you're pronouncing Daimler. In Germany we pronounce it completely different - the AI is here pronounced like the Y in "my". Hehe, someone parked Mike's Rover P6 at 2:43 - actually also a nice idea to let a classic car parking during winter time in a museum. But well, I bet the most museums won't be too happy when the car will disappear in summer, hehe. So many great looking cars. Loving that red Triumph Acclaim - I can remember about the Honda Civic from that time over here. Always liked the design and the Japanese cars from that era were known for its reliability - especially with the Toyota and Mazda badge. I don't know how reliable the Honda or Ronda (Rover-Honda) have been. You seem to remember a lot names of colours ... how comes that? Have you been a car painter? Interestingly they also have some other brands like Peugeot What an amazing collection of cars and even model cars. Amazing to see these model cars! Well, in this small scale I can be a billionaire and owning a lot of cars that I can't afford in the original scale, hehehe. But my collection is small compared to this. I'm loving cars, vans, lorries and buses - no matter what scale! Interesting set about the time machine at the end. I also have these three models but if I am remembering right I bought the individual boxes - well, mostlikely I am getting rid of the box because I am rather interested in the model car than in the package. Some people keep everything stored in the original package for resale but that's not my intension of collecting.

Daimler -that's because we pronounce it correctly, he he he. I noticed you say it differently and for your country and the DAIMLER BENZ you will be right. The Honda elements engine gearbox in Austin Rover products is very well respected and reliable more so that the Rover product. Car colours-I'm just a nerd. The Peugeot are present in the Museum as they were built at Ryton in Coventry. The Museum is mainly about Coventry built products.The Ryton plant was Rootes group factory(Hilman. Humber, Singer) that later became Talbot and Chrysler. The 3 Deloreon were for sale in the shop for £99.95/ 116.94 euro. Have a good weekend my friend.

Ok - opportunity to vent from childhood🤣I so wanted a Raleigh Chopper and wasn't allowed one - 😪. For no other reason that my parents thought them 'silly' - a silly design I was told - why do you want a silly bicycle? I've never recovered from that crushing experience 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'll comment again when I've watched the whole vid but I had to get this off my chest 😂😂

[@TipTopMotors.]

They were expensive bikes when new and the bike to have if you were a kid. If it helps i could say i never owned one either. You also have to feel sorry for the kids who wanted one but ended up getting the cheaper Tomahawk instead( the poor relation. which was like Cinderella going to the ball in a pumpkin instead of the coach.

[@OldCarsNewVan]

@@TipTopMotors. I ended it with a Raleigh Mayflower - I'd going to sound ungrateful now - but it was the most uncool kids bike ever 🤣🤣🤣

[@TipTopMotors.]

@@OldCarsNewVan Thats life. It can be full of disappointment but its still not to late to buy a Chopper even if its only to look at and think of a misspent youth.🤣
