Lovelly. Cheers.

It’s much easier if you pull the radiator out first

Pumping the gas pedal , with an SU carb , does nothing . There is no accelerator pump. Normal start procedure when cold , is full choke , crank till it starts , then progressively push the choke in as the engine warms . Hot start , touch nothing , just work the key . Nice woody .

I actually prefer the rat mog, the noise is more likely the dynamo bearing, buy a nice shiny water pump for Ronald and steal his for the rat mog,

Ain’t nobody nicking the wheels of that we are not in the 90’s anymore just put some normal nuts on

I replaced my seats with bmw mini r56 seats they make life much more comfortable

It's always a relief when you get that first real journey under your belt.

Mine jumps out of second gear.

Great video 👍. 1st gear should be easy to find but 3rd can be an issue and I sometimes crunch the gearbox.

Early modle Mag wheels need to be checked frequently as the parallel nuts always come loose . This problem wasn't fixed until they set steel tapers into the wheels .

I own a 1963 4 door saloon

Great video 👍

Morris Minors are known to be over cooled with their huge radiators so no issues with overheating

Totally normal for the long travel on the gear stick. Great video. Just subscribed today 👍

Yes. The XJR is expensive to run, as you'd expect. However, it is worth EVERY penny.

Fix her.

Nice timing mate, just a couple of days after a London authority agreed out of court to a lady whose daughter had died of air pollution. My some suffers from asthma, and any improvements to London air is literally a life saver. I don't care that people find a slight inconvenience as long as it stops children from an early death.

I love this 👏🏻

Don't apologise, your just highlighting what other's might be thinking and too scared to speak out. Well done!

Absolutely 💯 on the money, and where do the batteries go when they no longer charge, landfill. Not very environmentally friendly

Super car and glad to see it saved. Keep 'em coming!

Overfuelled and hydrolocked? Either that or something was ready to go, and the static revs finished it off

Mend her

A beautiful and strong car!! Our entire family used to be accommodated for trip back home after a visit to zoo in Mumbai say around 1955 to 1965 in the Moris Mini taxi for a paltry fare of one rupee for covering a distance of 25 kms.

40s?

looks ok to me , keep up the good work 👍

It's subject on my mind but relative to the DVLA and their points system - what is original - what is a period fitting or adding or taking away from the monocoque body shell?

Such a subjective thing isn't it. As soon as you do something to a car to personalise it, its "modified" - from standard. I guess I'm similar vintage to you and being modifying cars since I was 17 and have never left any car I have owned standard. I had a 998 Cooper back in the day and yes, those 7" brakes were not brilliant. a properly adjusted twin cylinder "Minifin" drum would outperform them. I put 7.5" Cooper S brakes on it as soon as I was able to.

brill will be after some advice soon as just got myself another project minor👍

Keep up the good work

Solid colour cars were not laquered from the factory, only metalic, it also needs the front bumper putting right, the lower lip is pushed out because the towing eye should be visable, its smokey because the valve stem oil seals need doing,

I got the same car in topaz with the same wheels. Like it a lot, it's loud enough for me. It makes a nice angry noise when it downshifts and is not short on power.

Junker

no shorts that day ? bumper could be repaired if you taked your time !

4:30 'You lookin' at me!!' 👍👍

Zetec turbo?

my ashtray does the same

Portrait again! AArrgghhhh!!!!!

I appreciate the upload and your thoughts on your Jaguar, but can you get away from the ridiculous notion of filming in portrait…it just looks dumb.

Swapped it over, it's not America!!!!!!!!

I think there’s quite a lot. The problem being, in my opinion… people aren’t opening their eyes to potential. Everyone is buying for an “investment” and not the ENJOYMENT. People are too set in their ways with certain cars having to be a certain way because that’s how they like it, but when the reality is the “Original” car from the 70’s with modern upgrades to suspension components, wheels etc will make the world of positive difference to the car. I personally feel a “Resto-mod” type approach to be my favourite.

That looks absolutely radical. Imagine if it looked like mr Beans car lol

Hi mate as you know I do not know anything about cars but I enjoy watching this, ps you look a lot happier there than the other place
