fantastic mate

Damn man.. invest in a Mic and film away from running water and barking dogs. Almost unwatchable smh

Just had my Fizzy Lemon delivered, waited 50 years to own one

Quality still makes the money.

Looks great, we’ll give it a go. Thanks

I believe Derek is incorrect in his statement saying “British workers are lazy”. Toyota, Honda & Nissan all have or had assembly plants here in the UK and the quality leaving those factories is comparable with any plant in the world. If you take the workers out of the equation that leaves two things: 1 Lack of investment 2 Poor management The German automotive manufactures work closely with their unions and include them in high level decision making. Not the ‘us and them’ mentality in the UK.

Think Derek is a Joke, he would be skint if he didn't sell British Classic cars ! Where would we be if the British Workers didn't build the Spitfires & Lancasters ? Jaguar use the same Castle Bromwich Factory. I have been a Mechanic for 44 years and British cars are the best bar none ! You can stick your German cars where the monkey sticks its nuts.

not sure how that's controversial...

X Type Future Classic !! I dont think so

A Great Video, I just got the 2024 Chopper Delivered, I thought Fizzy Lemon might be too bright on my eyes, So I went for the Space Blue version. I managed to just get the sale thru before the website crashed out on the 1st release. I did log back in again on the 2nd batch to try for the Fizzy Lemon for a gift, as it said you could have one of each colour per customer, but, I ended up in such a big queue, I fell asleep, then the website refreshed. So I am not sure, if I even made it in the 2nd queue or not & it then timed out. I do wonder how many were produced, but, Raleigh are not saying. My First Queue order was 1760 approx, so is that a random number or part of the volume. I did notice quite a lot have appeared on Ebay for a bit of a profit. It would be interesting to know how many were sold thou, as we may spot a few out and about. It is also profit for Raleigh, so what do we think 2,500 of each colour or less were produced for 2024 ?. Anyone with insider knowledge that can share how many were sold for 2024 ?.

Great to meet up with you and Linda in Whitby, Russ. Next year put a motor on your chopper and ride with us.

Marvellous you do it proud xxx

You can tell he is British because he keeps saying 'Yeh'.........................

I want a car from my youth. I can get a 20 year old ford fiesta ST for not a lot xx

I've got 2006 X-Type 2.0D and I'm renovating it (some things require it). I will keep him as a backup car no matter what. What an awesome car.

Good info but also remember to say "Do not depress the clutch but ensure the the gears are in neutral until the car has started".

I had the pleasure of walking into a breaker's yard when working in the UK in 1984. "I don't suppose you would have an overdrive gearbox for an MGB Mk I ?" I said. "Sure", he replied. "There's two sitting on the floor over there" he said. "Help yourself to one." Things were a little less happy when I drained the oil prior to shipping it home, and a whole lot of metal filings drained out in the oil. But a gearbox and overdrive rebuild prior to fitting it, (and one more since after about another 140,000 miles), and the wrecker's yard gearbox and overdrive is still providing excellent service in my now 250,000 mile MGB.

When I was 18yo (in 2002), the x-type was the very first Jag I drove (it was a 2.5 petrol). I really liked it, it was the very best car I got on at such time... It felt to me like a nice quality thing. Now I have an XKR x150 Convertible and an XJR x356... And I still like the X-types. I wouldn't mind to have one as a daily driver. Sometimes I think to give one to my wife as present, she loves them because she thinks the XKR and the XJR are too big for her.

Absolutely ridiculously over priced

Horrible bike the Mark 3. I would stick to the Mark 1, we never had that type of accidents you mentioned in the days.

MRK 4. Want one! ❤️

Exactly the same here. I could have killed for a mark 1 at 11 years old when they came out but my father didn't buy me one. I think that you should start a club for deprived boomer chopper children. I bought my first Raliegh Chopper, a mark 4 in ultra violet at 64 years old last year. Very sad and the neighbours think it is very strange but who cares what anybody else thinks. They just don't understand. Johhny Seven next maybe, rather more expensive than the £4 19s and 6d they used to be in the early 60's 😢.

X type is a classic car 😊😊👌

That blue S type was a R which is supercharged with all the toy s:)

Should have turned the water off you twat

RALEIGH announcement in 2023..."We’re relaunching one of the most iconic bikes of all time: the Raleigh Chopper. Back in all its original glory, this Limited-Edition 2023" is almost an exact replica of the old-school Chopper MK2 - from the U-shaped handlebars down to the chunky rear wheel". Now they are releasing "Limited Edition edition 2024". Both the same bike.

Thanks for this. Alan’s a big fella and dwarfs it a bit. Now I just have to hope I get lucky and get my Fizzy Lemon.🍋

So how are these to cruise around on for normal daily use? I’m on the list for the 2024 Fizzy Lemon model and I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.

Hi like the x type is it me I didn't see eny xj40

Slk isn’t a classic maby in another 30 yrs yes

You know a classic when you see it. Most of these cars were not classic at all. Neither are they scarce. And that’s why they’re worth less than real classics.

MGF. SLK classics??

That’s music to my ears!! Another batch of Choppers to be released. I missed out last year & I’m gutted! Do you have any intel on when the release date will be?

Was some of the footage reversed? It looked like some of the cars had the steering wheels on the passenger side.

The two X Types early on at Gaydon belong to me (Silver Saloon with reg BT54) And my good friend Michelle (Green Estate with Reg BL54): they were entry-level Jaguars for us both and we both have XKRs -hers is a convertible 420L and mine a coupé 500L (which I got after seeing her XKR in action!).

If you think a 20 year old car is a classic…think again………think money pit!

MGTF’s and SLK’s are used cars, not classics. They are still in the depreciation cycle. A friend of mine had a TR7 new - it was the most dreadful ownership of her life😂

old mercs never hold their value, because everyone wants a new one ....in Australia that slk is worth no more than $5000 au....classic car/ motorcycle prices go through cycles..... it depends on the demographics...cars / bikes from the 50s 60s have topped out... now aussie made Holdens and Fords from the Very late 60s 70s are commanding high prices

We are often partisan!!

So I can get a nice 1965 Ford Mustang soon for cheap?Nice!

X type is a nice car , rust is the issue

Nice ones make good money normally rust is the issue on the SLK

I had an X 2.5 and I had to sell it, the back seat squeaked so loud I couldn't stand it.

13 to 20 years old is just an old car people start to care after there 20+ and what was once street taffic is gone

I ride his bike his name is mad

I work for that first guy

Get a TreVoR much more fun and won't depreciate.

Lovely looking GT! I do really like the original steel wheels on them. A month ago here in OZ I bought an early 67 GT in Sandy Beige (GT only colour) on chrome wires. It has a period Tudor Webasto sunroof, black leather with white piping to interior & new carpets. It has a mild cam in a rebuilt engine and a close ratio gearbox with Overdrive. I OWNED THIS VERY CAR IN THE 1980s. I purchasing it in 1984 and sold it in 1988 - it is now back in my ownership after 36 years. I found it purely by chance on an online car sales site. Initially I thought it looked like my old MG due to the colour, but when I saw the detail photos I realised it was my old GT! What chance in that it has survived in that time, accidents, rust, neglect etc. It is still in excellent condition, testament to is owners post me and retains 90% percent of its original paint when I had it - and it's still rust free which is a blessing here.

Classic cars are cars that you don’t see everyday. 13 year old Mercs you find in every supermarket car parks.

Hi,im planning on ordering one of these this weekend.how is the bike doing now please? Is it a bit of a hard ride?
