Limping the MGC to the Flatwater British Car Show

[@paulhall170]

Those rubber American bumpers on the Spitfire 1500 and the GT6 are UGGGLLLYYY! A lovely show, great to see the TR5, some really well-loved cars there. Keep doing these shows, Steve, we love to see the oldies...

[@greglemon230]

Thanks for coming to our little show and spotlighting it on KZbin.

[@newblackdog7827]

Fabulous that you guys in the US are keeping British classics alive! Kind regards from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧😁👍🏻

[@timbutton4990]

Interesting to see what they did with the dash!

[@CharlieMetcalf]

I always like the car show walk arounds, you have a lot of knowledge to share and it is nice to hear about each model and the differences between them.

[@brentkasl6510]

Nice fitting tribute to Jim Danielson, glad you could make it over to Lincoln and good to see you again

[@dandodds1926]

Thanks for taking us along! I like your idea of a passenger operated panic button.

[@grahaminaus]

Looks like the red Mini had Australian doors with quarter lights. I also noted the Heinz Hornet (Crayford) convertible.... Rare car that one, Jim had great taste! Enjoyed this video... Thanks!

[@chrisebbesen5798]

Thank you enjoyed the Singer, and your authenticity point outs I am an M G enthusiist from many years back. I GREW UP WITH VOLVOS A.ND BMWS. I DO NOT CURRENTLY DRIVE. MY CURRENT DREAM CAR IS A LESNEY DIE CAST FERRARI 250 GT ELLENA OF 57 VINTAGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE!

[@johnhorwath5629]

Wow, amazing story and sad. What a beautiful car! Restore it to showroom quality and enjoy!

[@geraldharkness8830]

lovely to see all those beautiful british made cars..an era long gone im here in the uk watching this steve,thank you for sharing!

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@donaldhalls2189]

Awesome show, don't see many of them running around here in Australia, great video glad you are able to show us so much, them singers and thing's haven't seen before, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@rogerwilco4736]

I have a1968 C roadster in Brisbane

[@BB-gt1eg]

Excellent day Steve, thank you!

[@MrTjollen]

Beautiful car ! I was fortunate to drive one of those mgc in the early 70s . A workmate was given one by his dad . This was in sweden actually .

[@stephenricketts7764]

Nice quick fix on the car, you are thinking outside the box again Steve. So surprised to see a Singer in the show great old cars. Some well kept examples there. Thanks for the walkaround Steve. 👍👍

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stephenricketts7764]

Steve you said the MG had an aftermarket Overdrive fitted. It didn't occur to me immediately but I wonder if it is a "Laycock' kit? They did kits for other makes as well I think but theirs was the most popular for MG'S. I was looking at MG'S for sale recently and at least one said 'fitted with Laycock Overdrive '. I can't say for certain that they were shipped to the USA but its quite possible. You may find a label somewhere aiso stating the Model number, they usually put a label on the car. Sorry I didn't mention it before. 🇬🇧👍

[@philtucker1224]

That was really wonderful and I’m sure Jim will have been smiling down on all of you. ❤️❤️🇬🇧🙏

[@markmurphy3578]

RIP Jim A great car show showing their respect. Lovely cars too.

[@maureenmillard4241]

Loved my CGT regretI sold it a couple of yrs ago. Happy it went to a good home,a MG racer and enthusiast hope you enjoy it Trevor D. Mal in au.

[@RichardSmith-um4js]

A great video. Lots of interesting info on the various cars.

[@graymodeler]

Love the Ossa motorcycle at 11:47. Motocrosser from the 70’s.

[@TheGramophoneGirl]

8:18 oooh, is that a little Riley Elf? Used to love those when I was a kid. Just like a shrunken saloon car.

[@johndavey72]

Well done Steve . The "e"type did it for me . Love the way you never have a problem always a solution .

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Thanks 👍

[@titanus49]

The white car inside Jim's garage is either a Riley Elf or a Wolseley Hornet, not sure which one of those two. Those were luxury versions of the Austin or Morris Mini.

[@Jamcam99]

Great video Steve. For me the star of the show was the red XKE hardtop.

[@stephenhenion8304]

Love all your video's Steve... I think that Primrose Yellow TR 3 stole my vote as the one I'd ove to have in my garage. Congratulations on all your achievements! Thanks again!!🇺🇸🎩🇬🇧

[@dadsrustorations5103]

Great show , love your vast knowledge of all the sports cars!

[@titanus49]

That 1967 Morris MIni Cooper S , is most likely an Australian built Mini. I had one of these in 1969 (mine was Baby blue,with white roof) . Great fun cars with phenomenal cornering ability.

[@philtucker1224]

Yes a lovely looking example and I guess some of the Australian built cars may have survived with a little less rust than their U.K. built brothers! 🙏

[@tomtugboat]

Love the TR-250!

[@americanpatriot2422]

Great video!

[@micksterboone4517]

Being a bike guy at heart, the Ossa got my attention. Beautiful cars!

[@MrDunky48]

What a clever solution to the messed up wiring, even though temporary!

[@mickspencer4171]

Tragic story Steve, absolutely stunning set of cars at the show, all the best from the UK.

[@SPH56]

Great video Steve. Enjoy all you do with the marque. Being a MG/Fiat guy, that lil 850 would make a great stable mate to my BGT.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Absolutely

[@robj2704]

Thru the years, had an MGC and three 124 Spiders, as well as a Spider Veloce. All were very enjoyable cars.

[@jimchik]

I kept looking at the oil pressure gauge… was the pressure slow to come up?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

The instruments move very slow, both oil pressure and fuel

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks

[@fgb3126]

He looks like he was a "real character". And he died "with his boots on" so to speak. What better way to go?

[@2H80vids]

Had to laugh at the guy smiling at the camera as he wiped-out that cone. Way to look after your classic car.😂

[@MrBillsmith60]

Nice show

[@ryanhawkins1235]

Sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. Sounds like he died doing what he loved with his classic cars. I do love the look of that Jaguar Mark IX looks like little like a Rolls Royce

[@robj2704]

Refurbished a '68 MGC in the mid-80s in BRG. Mechanicals were all good, really enjoyed the overdrive feature and the exhaust note. Really enjoyed it the few years I had it and a Brit on vacation convinced me that he would return to England and to a good home, so I let him take it since I had an '84 Spider Veloce I needed to get on to.

[@ianmcgee9945]

Hi, thanks for another great video. Is that a little American Austin or Bantam at the back of his workshop at the beginning when you're working on the car? I'd love to know what happened to that one, or the Elf/Hornet that appeared as you drove the car out of the workshop... My personal car of the show: that little Singer!

[@jackfenton2271]

I owned a MGC GT for 4 years. Nice little money pit.

[@thomasschaefer9312]

I want to know more about the speedhut gps speedometer.

[@talfacprez]

Melting wires could only mean one thing, original Lucas electronics.

[@davidjones332]

I'm really getting tired of this cheap jibe. I've driven loads of cars with Lucas electrics and had far fewer issues than with the offerings from several American-owned makes. The electrical system on this car has obviously been bodged up, so you can hardly blame Lucas for that.

[@alterra9774]

Thats my dream car right there

[@joeychaseable]

Surely there was an alternatir floating around in that garage somewhere

[@newblackdog7827]

Have you guys started to get any TVR’s in the States yet? A TVR Chimera would look good on US roads in the sunshine 🌞

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

I have done a lot of TVR videos, here is the video going over my three TVRs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ_Kn2aClNuqZ6s

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Very impressive turnout.

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes is a Ossa

[@bobothree]

Do you have a list of foreign (read English) car shows in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, surrounding area? Internet shows little.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

The best thing to do is join all the Facebook pages for each club so that you know when their events are.

[@stephensim5839]

Hi Steve. Great video, I love the old British cars, being old and British myself. You got a much different result with towing with the all electric F150 than Hoovie's garage did, have you seen that video? any comment?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

He admits in his latest video that he sensationalized the whole thing for views. Everyone wants to make a video showing it’s terrible because so many people want it to be. They don’t care about showing it being used as an electric pickup and using it as intended.

[@robj2704]

As I recall, there were only just over 8,000 MGCs built.

[@terrywilliams667]

Where can I find out more about that GPS speedo?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

speedhut.com/

[@jacquikowalewsky7691]

The white Mk2 Midget was not running an A series engine, not sure sure what the motor was,Nissan maybe?

[@roger55es]

Beautiful car needs the spoked wire wheels

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Have you seen the next video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqvclXeKo8mYr6s

[@James-dt7ky]

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Yes it is

[@Brian-yw1mo]

No oil pressure??

[@strokenumber3]

Wolsley Hornet or Riley Elf in the garage there?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Wolseley

[@abrdds]

How is this different from the MG B ??? I miss my pain in the butt TR6 🙃 my fav was the Big Austin drool

[@ernieleithes6545]

The Mgc had the 6 cylinder 3 litre engine mgb had 4 cylinder 1800 and a completly diffrent front suspension which was torsion bars instead of coil springs.

[@BangerFleet]

Oil pressure???

[@brwlegge]

Was that a Riley with the hood up in Jim’s garage?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

That’s a Wolseley

[@emma.j.nation]

It’s a Wolseley Hornet. Judging by the fact it’s a convertible and has a registration plate in the range LLH 8- -D, it’s one of the 57 prize giveaway cars from a Heinz promotion run in 1966 in the UK. The Crayford Convertible Club estimates there are 41 left.

[@brwlegge]

My first car was a 1959 Wolseley 15/60 field find which I bought from the farmer for $18. I was 13 years old and drove it on the farm until the frame broke by the rear spring 2 years later. I loved that car, even got the grills Wolseley light working.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Emma you are correct it is one of the Heinz 57 Wolseley Hornets.

[@timdunn2387]

The wiring is worthy of a Concourse point. If it is burnt, it is genuine.

[@robertcallahan4065]

Left brake light (driver's side) doesn't work. GE1157 bulb

[@alancalvillo6756]

RIP Jim Danielson

[@davidnelson6893]

That is OSSA moto

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Yes it is

[@bengtgronlund9447]

It runs a little bit rich doesnt it?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

The choke was out.

[@danb.3397]

Also here on YT - "The Widest V8 MGB GT In The World"

[@tonysworksMGB]

Such a shame. i dont take my MGB on the highway ever. Cars today are just not built to see a low car like ours. I always take backroads even if it means an extra hour or so.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

It was a Tesla that hit him and sadly both the Tesla and the driver should have seen the MGB and not changed lanes into them.

[@steverice7546]

Gonna leave the battery charger clamps hooked to the terminals UNDER the SEALED battery compartment cover? Hmmmmm…. So, what will happen when one of those clamps vibrate loose? Short circuit under that cover that you won’t know about until you smell the smoke…..in a HARDTOP. Sounds like a great plan bro. Good luck on that.
