Mad car auction - the reserve collection

[@mohammadlone]

Would love a series of just you two visiting random car auctions and walking round the lot.

[@cheharrison7107]

The Caprinarda; the car I never knew I wanted. Great video again chaps, more of this type of stuff please.

[@jryalls]

Who needs the Geneva Motorshow.

[@AllSpeed]

id rather tetanus in Wales than Corona in Geneva

[@scotti_wan_kenobi]

I had a 1967 P6, it was a 2000 SC in Brigade red with a tan leather interior. It was a joy to drive. Quite sprightly for a big car, with the most comfortable seats I've ever had. It was like a gentleman's club inside. Another car that I wish I still owned.

[@porscheinspections1091]

A lot of hearses came fitted with an LSD, it stopped them slipping on a damp graveyard and churning the ground up.

What I love about Smith and Sniff is the awesome knowledge and facts they have... Loved the Sunbeam story!

[@elob5741]

Nearly an hour of Smith and sniff in a single week? Never been happier

[@andypsunshineisle5655]

All those zone toughened windscreens in one place. Polaroid sunglasses at the ready. That rover would be the one for me. Nice casual amble around with 2 blokes who know a bit.

That Sunbeam Tiger story cracks me up so much

[@CapriJake]

That’s at Capri club Evesham. Badgers hill. Reason for the Capris dotted in the background.

[@sarahrobinson410]

I had a couple mark 1 escorts 1971 on J reg 4 door GT in a mixed colour of oranges and the 1974 M reg one was 1100 cc in purple with mexico wings a two door version.

[@richardmatthews6325]

The Capri club use to hold a weekend jaunt in that location, makes sense as there are many capris and parts off Capri there.

[@tleuven]

Finally some more people that appreciate the P6!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

The ford people will be falling over themselves to pay far too much for the Capri and cortina but the Best car outside is that V8 rover.

Yu know your old when classic /vintage cars I remember them all was a capri man....lovely stuff guys...cheers from dave

[@coppice2778]

Its nice to see so many P6s still around today. They were lovely cars to own and drive daily, but their Achilles heal was corrosion. The V8 automatic was so nice to drive, although some owners would cry during visits to a gas station. :)

[@derekbilton-heenan854]

Bonus Smith and Sniff. Great video as always

[@chrispenn715]

In the 80s, my dad had a Rover 3500 in turd brown (oops - Tobacco) with a sunroof. It was fabulous in a straight line, but cornered like a boat compared with the Alfasud I had at the time...... :-) I can see the attraction though.

[@adamfloyd2152]

I saw that Capranada hearse at a local show recently. The owner said it wasn't an easy conversion and took a lot of effort to make it look that good, but it just seems a pointless exercise to me.

[@johnmichaelkarma]

You want a ride in the back,.............we know you do.

[@Countrystock]

The Rover P6 is from the Isle of Wight. Gotta love a DL plate 😍

[@SB-vb8ch]

Mk3 Escort had the same style of tacho which started at the 5 o'clock position....very cool!

[@dj_paultuk7052]

As did the 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT from the states. This meant the Red line was at 12 oClock, which in a way was handy if you were on-it. (I had 2...)

[@grahameaves3298]

I think it only came in as part of the '81 facelift. Very "80's"

[@Alexander_l322]

The wiper on the 190e was really cool my mum had one and it was so smooth and cleaned the screen so well

Actually the granada mk2 and the capri mk2 front ends are almost a bolt on match, including under the bonnet stuff aswell 🙂

[@mrjones2009]

You guys are really funny but some cool rides and yes had a few that Granada Capri thing had flames on that bonnet I wonder what was going through the persons mind when he built that

[@SmallBlogV8]

Had to look-up what that blue thing is at 4:18. Apparently it's a Microcar Virgo?

[@TheStwat]

The Caprinada has been very well done.

[@NJRD977]

a little monday treat!

[@OddSoxDj]

Hurse with flame job... mint👌

[@chickenhawk2882]

dtl2000 I just watched your two videos of this mass of truly horrific vintage (and vanquished) cars. In the united States they hold several races around the country called the 24 Hours of Lemons and more then a few of these would appear to be good candidates. It boggles my mind that anyone would want to purchase most these cars at all but I recall an old copy of Classic Car where someone dug up a 58 MGA that had been buried for decades and restored it?!. Here in sunny southern Alberta the environment is far kinder to our older cars (no road salt in some areas until the eighties) and so we do occasionally see a good many of these cars still in restorable condition and I have a number of them in my fleet (i.e. '77 Capri II Ghia, a mint condition '75 Marina GT with dual carbs and only 10k miles, a number of MGB roadsters (both rubber and chrome bumper) and several late 60 to early 70 BGTs,, '73 Midget, '80 TR7 roadster plus a nice low mileage TVR 280i). That being said, there are a few cars I would love to have had the chance to add to the collection but they are as rare as hens teeth here such as a nice Vauxhall HB or Sunbeam Rapier GT. Despite the crap weather you guys experienced it was great to see your video of your visit and I really wish i could have been there to see it with you both as I really enjoyed the banter between you. I'm much older that either of you but I always enjoyed walking around old wrecking yards in western Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the US to see these same old cars and the memories they evoked. Great job guys! by the way, is there any way to find out what the results of the auction were? I wouldn't have minded the Fiat 124 coupe I can tell you. Cheers!

[@chickenhawk2882]

Thanks for the link to the auction results. GOOD GRIEF! based upon the results there are some buyers who should contact FLATLA Auto Wreckers in Tilley Alberta to pick up some old British cars in far better shape than many that were sold here. Once again, what a great video!

[@ImLeuff]

The Granada/Capri crossover V8 side-piped hearse really is the pick of the bunch

[@emmajnation-emma]

Leuff sad to say it’s only a V6 (if the DVLA are to be believed)

[@ajthepoppunkkid8415]

Was that Dennis Waterman’s Stag from New Tricks briefly shown before the hearse?

[@SB-vb8ch]

Love a P6....especially V8 ones.....mmmm. You lost me with the mk1 Escort as soon as you said 4 door! Nice knowledge on the Tiger!

[@Matteo_Licata]

[@79tazman]

A guy I know has a 1973 Ford Capri with a 302 in it that thing rips big time

[@chickenhawk2882]

They actually made those in South Africa; it was called the Parana!

[@paulgeraghty6041]

Sunbeam was a really odd choice in the US as the tigers sold better than the alpine. my dads got a series 5 alpine and has owned it since 68 and its a 67 not bad two owner. Capri hearse awesome, my fav lot but needs the engine coming thru the bonnet for a very uncivilised funeral. I'd have to rename it though caprinada doesn't work needs to be Granpri

[@scottishcalv]

No comment on the stag?

Rather have the moggy minor over any other car in the yard except for possibly the rover P6

[@benjaminsawyer8479]

Quite easily. They're shit

[@Vampirebear13]

Dang if I were there I'd be spending alotta money, then paying 1 or more restoration shops a small fortune. I'd buy every Capri I could get my hands on. They've always been 1 of my favorite Fords & they're incredible rare here in the states. The Capri body should've been the replacement for the big bodied Mustang instead of the Mustang 2. I'd also have that blue Rover & green Morris Minor & of course that Cortina, & have it built into a Jim Clark tribute :-)

[@PC-LAD]

That hurse was on a tv show, the owner used it as a daily driver but i can't find a reference

Thank you for the look at these (to us Americans types) no longer seen anymore cars. If they were even seen in their day over here. However I must say come on guys, were you not allowed to open the hood or Bonnet? Or even take a camera near the interiors? And really wouldn't you want to be driven for the last round in the Capri Hearse? Where's the fun in death for you guys? LOL. These cars are not what we get to see in North America like this especially this many years after they were new. Thanks for the look and sorry for being the party pooper (again). I was glad to have a little peek anyway.

It’s a biplane and a car. The 3500 has that legendary Buick aluminium V8 block that was developed for the sixties small car craze in the US. Shamefully the Americans didn’t like that light & nimble engine (3.5 liter is just way too small) so they sold off the engine to Rover which made it to a British legend.
