1956 Lotus Eleven vs Speed Bumps - THE lowest car in the world !

[@93455Driver]

Getting home sick watching Brit car vids....amazing scenery. Cars and castles makes a nice change from cars and coffee.

[@PetrolPed]

I think you've got something there !

[@geofo60]

What a great way to spend a day. These types of car shows, drive outs, park up in the shadow of an historic building are my favourite. The Lotus 11, wow, what a beautiful example & a superb owner. Had to laugh at a T,S,W & W Peter, never heard that one before. I remember vaguely visiting Corfe as a youngster, there used to be a pasty shop down in the village where my parents would go & stock up for the journey home if my memory serves me. Those bangs & bumps sound like my JCW Coupe every time I hit a pot hole, I think it’s getting close to changing out the R/F’s for some of those Michelin’s. Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Cheers Geof

[@PetrolPed]

Michelins are the way forward Geof. You will wonder why it took so long to make the change :-)

[@robinpratt1541]

Great film, so sunny and lots of fun!

[@PetrolPed]

Much fun was had bu all and a touch a sun burn ;-)

[@richardearth2848]

Great video Peter. Having owned a Tiger Kit car for the last 2 yrs I know all about potholes manhole covers and crests in the road. Oh and yes Im one of those daft cyclist fellas too.

[@PetrolPed]

Drive or Pedal...alway a tough choice !

[@1BLUEMEANIE]

What fantastic scenery blessed with the weather. Looked like you had a blast👍👍🏁🏁

[@PetrolPed]

Mate, it was such good fun :-)

[@andrewmurphy4842]

Still loving the content Pete! This week watching the sunset from a hot tub overlooking the sea in Ilfracombe.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice !

[@johns14a]

What a joyous video Pete. Really enjoyed that.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers John. It was a lot of fun 😂

[@Buck3366]

You can’t help but smile when in that car. Looked fantastic. Great video Pete.

[@PetrolPed]

It was magic :-)

[@WoodyWood]

What a brilliant day and a great looking event wish I had gone

[@PetrolPed]

It was such a great event and the weather was perfect :-)

[@teggsy2165]

Nice E-Type Jag @ 16.50 like the colour of it too!I'm 60 now and as a teenager of about 16 i remember my Dads mate in (Torquay then) a machanic Garage owner had an E-type jag he was cleaning the plugs and there were 12 of the things in that long nosed car i at the time was helping clean some of his stock as a weekend pocket money job,well at the end of the day my dads mate gave me a lift home down Saint Marychurch Rd hill towards Barton well i sh-t myself but loved it i never thought the car could stop at the give way line and since that day i have a special memory of the 12 pot E-type Jag.

Nice one Pete..being born and bred in Weymouth, nice to see the area again and on such a stunning day. My first car was a Morris Minor, bought from my father - the drivers seat was only fixed on one side, so every time she went round a tight left hand corner, felt like she was going up on two wheels lol

[@PetrolPed]

LOL...you would have liked the Police car following us then :-)

[@frasermacleod7642]

Awesome video! Totally loved the Lotus. Watching you drive around those roads brought back memories of my time at the Armour Centre in Bovington and driving around the roads in armoured vehicles. 😉👍

[@PetrolPed]

I bet that was fun :-)

[@frasermacleod7642]

Petrol Ped it certainly was 😉

[@stevetigersix]

Looks like it was a good blast Peter.... buttock clenching over the cattle grids n speed humps but great fun especially donning the biggles glasses

[@PetrolPed]

It was such a laugh :-)

[@stevetigersix]

Petrol Ped miss that feeling same I used to get in tiger z100, as you know similar to that caterham r feeling

[@ginggur17]

Stunning mate. Beautifully edited too, well done as always.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Buddy :-)

[@DamoDrives]

That looked like a great experience really captured that car 👍👍

[@PetrolPed]

Cracking little car :-)

[@yvesklein669]

Neil, You're a legend!👍

[@PetrolPed]

He sure is :-)

[@jay-by1gb]

Neils my grandad

[@yvesklein669]

Then he is a Grand-legend!👍

[@ginggur17]

Lovely setting mate

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

It was obviously going to be a brilliant day. You met ME!!!! :-)) What was funny was when you mentioned the Lotus to me, I thought you said it was a Lotus ONE!? It's an age thing you see. Not hearing what people say. Selective hearing at it's best. It normally works with the missus (Shh... Don't tell her please!), but I forget to turn it off sometimes when it's nothing to do about shopping, knitting and general women stuff!! I digress. I'd never heard of a Lotus One, so I went and had a look. It looked like an Eleven to me. No less a baby D-Type? And for you in the Lotus Pete. Or should that be Group Captain Petrolped? :-) I'm just glad you could fit in it. The car looked stunning even though it was a copy! And Neil left you hanging too (@11:06) after the crater!! How shocking? A great video. Great day out. And great to see you too. Oh! You owe me a coffee by the way. Though I'd prefer a cuppa char! Catch you anon bud.

[@PetrolPed]

Hopefully I can upgrade that coffee to a beer one day ;-)

[@martinbuchanan6312]

Great film, looked a fun day and real, this is a bench mark for all other youtubers....

[@jonathansia96]

Looks amazing, do you mind sharing the route? Except for the bits with the mahoosive potholes!

[@PetrolPed]

I don't know the route we went on as i was too busy filming ;-)

[@paulw5822]

Nice car and fun video. Are you aware it is not actually a 1956 Lotus 11 as stated, but a 2008 Westfield X1 reproduction kit of the original Lotus?

[@PetrolPed]

Shhh...yes I am but that can be our little secret ;-)

[@resnonverba137]

Thanks for clarifying... belatedly. Just seen an original for sale for around 200k dollars.

[@neilgrice9251]

I wish...... :)

[@1183newman]

Yea if it was a real one i doubt anyone would be driving it over speedbumps on the road.

[@jay-by1gb]

Really good vid i liked and subbed

[@PetrolPed]

Oh cool...welcome to the channel :-)

[@philipparkes5079]

Looked like a great event, and as usual you captured it superbly yet again, congratulations. Sight of the “Eleven” took me back many years when I bought a Lotus 7 Big Valve twin cam at the racing car show, weeks later the Caterham deal was announced, possibly the last made under Lotus name.wish I had kept it, but how many cars do you wish you had kept?

[@PetrolPed]

Wow, that would have been worth a small fortune now :-(

[@JDSFLA]

7:29 Is that hazard switch on the dashboard original (looks not)? So I am wondering if this is one of the few originals, or a Westfield replica. The 11 could have any of several different engines, although I believe the 1100 cc Coventry Climax was the most common. Which in this? Certainly a beautiful car and to think it did so well in races (like Le Mans) with such small engines. Quite remarkable.

[@PetrolPed]

Shhh...don't tell anyone but well spotted. This is a very good Westfield replica ;-)

[@dj_paultuk7052]

I think my Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo was lower than that. I could not do speed bumps at all. And it scraped just getting into our drive.

[@PetrolPed]

It must have been low then ;-)

[@dj_paultuk7052]

OK, checking back, maybe not. Close contender though. s6.postimg.cc/v311xf0qp/100_2125.jpg s6.postimg.cc/es0y14j41/100_2131.jpg

[@mattylf1]

That looked a lot of fun. Lovely location as well. So when you getting that F Type ? 😉

[@PetrolPed]

Oh don't...i was drooling over it for quite some time :-)

[@blackflagpirate3444]

Looks fantastic mate! Lots of beautiful cars.Did you find out the spec of the Lotus 11 mate ? 🏁🍻

[@PetrolPed]

1257cc engine was all I found out. We ere too busy having a good time ;-)

[@blackflagpirate3444]

Petrol Ped That what cars are all about.Fun! 🍻🏁😊

[@neilgrice9251]

1275 with single Weber. A very easy car to maintain and drive - assuming no speed bumps of course!! It was built by Westfield in 2008 and provides smiles per gallon.

[@RustyManisduckman]

Being from the states just love classic British cars. My dream car is an e-type(no show car want a daily driver). But being from the states please inform me what your car ruby red is please. Thanks Rusty

[@PetrolPed]

It a Mini Roadster John Cooper Works. They don't make them anymore :-(

[@RustyManisduckman]

Petrol Ped thank you. I'll be on the look out for your next post

[@beckypickett8356]

What is your favourite colour?😊

[@PetrolPed]

It depends which manufacturer ;-)

[@beckypickett8356]

As in your favourite colour (not of a car) sorry that it is a question that has nothing to do with cars!😊

[@amgguy4319]

Lower than than the Lotus 23B . . . Hard to believe.

[@jay-by1gb]
