I worked for a company in the sixties who manufactured Pyrene foam drums amongst other things. The Government specification was very rigid, and included the seam welding of the sides and bottoms of 16 guage high quality rolled steel sheets. This was performed by a slight elderley lady who had been doing this job for over 40 years which was no mean feat. The welded drum weighed over 12 lbs, and she managed to produce ten of these per hour! There was no other younger welders who could achieve this. Violet was a lovely lady who was a widow, and lived alone in Millwall (a very tough part of London). As a trainee I was in awe of her and she always gave me a sweet each day!

Richard thanks for yet another wonderful video. The Austin A30s brings back yet another memory. A school friend of mine had a slightly tuned four door one inwhich we went to his previous school reunion in Tynemouth. On the way back after much drinking I fell victim to a. malfunctioning rear door lick and fell out the door straight into a trench in some road works. My friend carried on taking to me for some minutes until he realised that he was alone. He then reversed back and hauled me out of the trench and we carried on home. I bet the grey example is a real sleeper with that Honda superbike engine.

Hi Richard. I love my part of the world and had a walk in Dawlish this morning . Looking out to sea the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth was doing extensive sea trials ... but we simply don't get these type of shows . Thanks Richard

Absolutely fantastic video of some really beautiful car's. The Humber Hawk is a winner in my book having owned a Super Snipe, which i had a Rover 3.5 installed. I had D LLF 767 for 23 beautiful years before she was stolen. It was a lovely car to drive, not many around, & the sweet sound of the V8 was magical. The Hawk look's fantastic & is great condition. Great video, keep up the good work 👍

Thanks, yes I like these old Humbers too, a good car for cruising around in

An interesting event RJ and that Hawk definitely suits the Rover V8.

Thanks, yes I've seen a few Humbers of this era with V8s shoe-horned under the bonnet, not always as smart as this one mind

Thanks Rick, you are a font of knowledge. I was very interested in what you had say about the early production A30 v the later ones. You are never to old to stop learning.

@oldclassiccarUK it's only when you hear a motorbike coming from behind then you see an Austin A35, originally it had no reverse gear either, it goes pretty well too.

Another great video,nice to see a Ford sierra 2.0i S,my dad bought a two year old one in 1988 and had it for many years , I was lucky that he insured me on it and me being 18 years old,it was like a rocket ship compared to my 1.6 capri.

Another great video Rick, good to see a Ventora, we have WPA506G owned by my brother in law in the 70s me in the 90s and now my son, in completely original condition and still looking fantastic. Doesn't seem to be hardly any around now. ☹️

Hi Richard. I loved the old stockcar. Here in NZ the Fiat Topolino body shell was used for the cars in the 1960s/ early 70s.
@oldclassiccarUK3 күн бұрын
There are quite a few old stockcar photos on the main OCC site, in the image archive section, including a few based on FIAT bodyshells: www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/stock-cars.htm

The humber hawk is such a nice car with the v8 manual mod .i think the wheels suite it in a 55 chevy sort of way.

It was very smart indeed, looking down the side it appeared to have excellent bodywork (not always the case!!)
