@@idriveaclassic only just stumbled across yours and Eds channel a few months ago, I was chuffed to bits, can't believe I hadn't previously came across them. As a cough, cough ahem 46 year old, it's like the channels are tailor-made for me, just a trip through the cars of my youth, pure nostalgic joy. Do you know of any shows similar to the Ripon one that are held near Scarborough (I mean in normal times, not this forever asterisked time we currently have to endure) by any chance?

Something tells me that coffin in the back of the Montego Hearse is empty - at least I hope so! 🥶 I like the way you let the owners talk about their own cars. I noticed some Austin 3 litres in the background (quite rare now - they never sold well.) My all-time favourite BL cars were the Princess "wedges" - these started off as Morris, Austin and Wolesley grill/badge engineered variants (ultra-rare now) before becoming the Princesses we all love now (unless you're Jeremy Clarkson) - these had huge potential, if only more money had been available for research and development. Excellently videoed and edited (as always!) 👍🏻

Thanks for this film - all these cars were perfectly decent in their day and competitive with Fords, Vauxhalls etc. of the same era. Most of the worn out ones have long since been scrapped, so the seremaining cars are quite special and great to see these days :-) That Rover sounds nice. The Montegos were surprisingly quick when they were new - especially the hire car versions.

My Dad had a B reg Morris Traveler and then a N reg 1975 Wolseley six and for me it is still the coolest car I have ever been in. How I would love to own one now. Whenever I see a 1970's or 1980's car on the road it always makes me smile.

Well his son had a Metro, and next to the A158 Skeg road, broke the key off in the ignition. So there he was, drilling the key out, with everyone passing saying 'you stealing that car' LOL Just a treasured memory from the past. Thanks for another great video 😊😊👍

Hi,love your channel,greetings from America,the 3.5 that Rover and British Leyland used originally was used by Buick and Oldsmobile from 1961 to 1963.It was raced by Mickey Thompson in his Indianapolis race car. The engine was 215 cu. inches (3.5 litres) aluminium block & heads ;I had one in a 1963 F-85 Cutlass,the engine was sold to Rover in 1965.

Hi Steph, another great video - obviously ! I had an Austin 3 Litre, and would love you to do a review - if you can find one. I was far too young to own it - I was only 21 and didn't really appreciate it - wish I had it today - I'm now 65. I also LOVE the Metropolitans - our neighbour swapped her Austin Atlantic for a Metropolitan - I'm thinking back 60 years now - OMG - where did THAT time go ! Love your videos, you are a great person :-)

I owned two classic Minis. It was when I owned the 2 nd one that I realised how cramped the driving position was. I'm not that tall but I had to put my right foot at a weird angle to press the accelerator. So I agree with Will that Metros are an overall better classic car ownership experience than a Mini. I liked his bottom of the range 1.1 C with the blanking plug where the rear wiper would go. Less items to break too. My sister owned a Maestro identical to the blue one shown (Mayfair with silver mirrors).

When I grew up in 1980s BL cars were everywhere and then disappeared in no time at all. I passed test in a 92 Metro and had two Maestros. Much under rated. Love the Maxi too. And watched Rita Sue and Bob too last week !

I absolutely agree that the Allegro was a splendid little car - especially when they got the four large headlamps, as in the Allegro-3 example owned by Theresa Vincent in your video. None of its alleged "defects" justified its slow sales at any time in its lifespan. But there were some very dubious motoring pundits about who would have sold their grandmothers to get hold of a disparaging headline. Notice that even the much derided "square" steering wheel is now commonplace in today's fancy expensive foreign automobiles.

Knowing Dan personally, he is a really nice lad and a massive Maestro enthusiast. His partner also has a 1974 Allegro in Brazilian brown and I have a 1968 MG 1100. All three of our cars are directly related because the Allegro was the replacement for the 1100-1300, and the Maestro was the replacement for the Allegro. :)

From down under the 1800 was sold by Leyland Australia who modified a lot of Leyland product for Australia. New Zealand got the maxi allegro and princess and marina later they got the Montego and MG metro turbo New Zealand got most of the UK Leyland stuff sold thorough the NEW Zealand Motor Corporation. Australia was very different here they made a 6 cylinder Marina with the 262 red motor. There where also Leyland nomads a hatchback that was a cross between the maxi and 1100. Also the 1800 was developed into the Austin Tasman and the Austin Kimberley which had a 6 cylinder

In a brief two-year window covering most of 1980-81 (and when BL brands were still being exported to the U.S.), the SD1 was definitely an attention-getter and got generally good reviews in the U.S. auto mags. Unfortunately, that didn't translate into sales. BL sold barely more than 1250 units here. By that time, the C3 Audi 100 (aka 5000 in the U.S.) had arrived...and the future had a different look.

Brilliant video Steph, I drove many BL cars but my all time favourite is the Rover SD1, I had most variants of the SD1 , except the diesel. My favourite was the V8, I had a very early V8 manual, and a C reg Van den plas V8 manual, Misty, My early one ,and Carol, My vdp. Carol was stolen and burnt out, my ex girlfriend stole the spare keys and gave them to a druggie with £50, with instructions to burn my car out! That was my last classic car, I don't have a safe place to keep one. I stick to classic motorcycles now. My ex wife made me sell my 1963 Minor 4 door too! You should do a video on the SD1, I think you would enjoy driving a V8! Keep up the good work Steph.

My mate had an MG Metro turbo in metallic green in the mid 90's. That thing was a flying machine! He tried to keep up with patching it up but the rot got too bad and he had to scrap it in 1999. He kept the alloy wheels which he still has for some reason?

Love BL cars! the fact that they were so underrated and had a reputation for being poorly built is probably what attracts me to them! You have to have a good sense of humour to own one and they are guaranteed head turners! Alot more interesting than yer other box standard classics like yer VWs or Fords which everyone seems to have! Bin after an old BL box for some time now like an Allegro! Got the Quartic steering wheel just need the rest of the car now!

I have just discovered this Video. Some cracking cars there, It is a Real shame that there is not many Allegros left. I never understand why people run them down all of the time. Same For the Marina as well. Similar sort of numbers left now. Considering over 800k Marinas sold hardly any left now. I like the Allegro But I also Like the Marina. Between the pair I like the Marina a bit more, I am a believer that Marinas are not that bad a car.
