    I grew up close to our local small (10 bus) bus company. They had mainly Bedfords but they also had a 1950 Daimler which I drove several times. Once you've driven a preselect, you always have a soft spot for them.

    I had a 2002 Tii when I was 19 (in 1995 so it was a classic then), it was white with the full turbo body kit, big wheels, etc. You could not turn the steering wheel at standstill. My insurance was £2k a year but I loved it. I lived in Tunbridge Wells and the only problem was I would get a producer at least once a week (in the UK then if you got pulled by the cops you had to turn up and produce your docs, insurance, MOT, etc). Because I was 19 and driving a classic they always pulled me over, plus it looks like a drug dealer car. I used to turn up at the police station and the girl behind the desk was "Hi, you got another one...". One week I got three and I said to her this has got to stop. Not sure what she said but I never got pulled again, I assume it was a "guys leave him alone, it is all legal". I miss that car. Plus it would be worth loads now. The head gasket went and I could not afford to repair it, sold it for scrap. 😞

    Pre-war Riley cars often used this Wilson Pre-Select Gearbox in conjuction with a centrifugal clutch which only engaged drive a little above idle speed. Moving off after engaging first gear and then depressing and releasing the gear change pedal prepared the car to start only after raising the engine speed. Subsequent gear changes could be made with both hands on the wheel even in a corner. The system was especially attractive to drivers who were not skilled to deal with non-synchromesh gearboxes common in other cars and they were not likely to stall the engine.

  • @rosewood1
    @rosewood1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The preselector is great to drive. But deceptively simple is a good description. Because there are aspects of them that you don't want to get wrong. Like making sure you stop in neutral. Otherwise next time you start it will be in gear. And matching rpm especially on overdrive versions with a fluid flywheel. Change is fast but if your engine speed is badly wrong you can twist the mainshaft!

  • @timcarpenter2441
    @timcarpenter2441 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the pedal is the trigger, I have wondered why not have this trigger occur when moving the lever into a new gear? Perhaps the pedal provided sufficient manual thrust to perform the action. A lever may have needed an additional set of hydraulic actuators?

    • @scooteringblackpool8249
      @scooteringblackpool8249 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes, because technically it's the clutch which is automatic (fluid flywheel hydraulic coupling instead of a conventional clutch) and not the gearbox, you still change gear manually. My mum passed in my dad's 1953 Daimler Conquest in the 60's, she'd had lessons in a Triumph Herald manual prior.. they were popular to learn in due to the tight turning circle!

    @YorkshireMidge 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting video - but at the risk of asking a daft question, how do you handle junctions? I assume you have to coast up to the junction in neutral (in case you have to stop) and pre-select 1st if it's looking like you'll need to stop, or another gear if you think you can keep going?

    • @theclassicmotorhub239

    • @its_me_dave
      @its_me_dave 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. At any point with your foot on the clutch you can select neutral. No need to panic or think five moves ahead all the time. It’s really not too different from a manual gearshift. Plus, like an automatic it won’t stall when you pull away...👍
