Thanks for sharing Becca 😊👍

Lovely to see a Minor 1,000,000 convertible, I'm guessing that was originally a saloon!

Thanks for sharing Becca 😊👍

Driving a classic car in modern traffic can be an interesting experience that's for sure :) I am getting older and softer so my daily driver has the tech and features I like such as air con power windows power steering e.t.c. But it doesn't have the same connection, the driver is not as involved. Driving my classic is a real thrill and taking it out on a Sunday morning for a bit of a blast is pleasure I can still enjoy. Thanks for the video.

Wyvern, and Trevor, my 1977 MG Midget must have compared notes. I bought Trevor near Yosemite, and decided driving home 300 miles to the desert was a great idea. He finished the last hundred miles on the back of a breakdown truck. It was the first of oh so many rides home with a recovery truck driver. We spent SO much money on that little carmine beauty, but Finally just couldn't anymore, and sold him for half what I had invested. My hubs , as a parting shot, installed another new $30 mechanical fuel pump. The buyer rented a car to drive out from LA, then drove Trevor right back home to LA, called and said he'd had no issues. "What a great little car". So, at least somebody was happy. We had overlooked the obvious, because we had already replaced the %$^&@ fuel pump.

These type of problems are difficult to sort out, sit down with a nice cup of tea and write down all possible areas and parts that could be causing the problem, then start with the easier ones first or sell it and get a better one. Good luck sorting it out. Bob

Nice to hear Peggy is working well. Sorry to hear your having si much trouble with the Spitfire. The washers you were talking about was that the thrust main bearing in the crankshaft? Sounds like another engine might be your best bet. Something rebuildable with a regrind of the crank and new undersize inserts. Hope you find a good replacement engine. Looking forward to your next update.

Hi Becca, many thanks for the upload, an interesting story very well told.

Thanks for the update Becca. Sounds like Jamie should have bought a Morris Minor. 😆😊

I had several Morris Minor vans during the 1970's/1980's, even one that was badged with the Austin marque. The last one I had was an ex Post Office van, sold for £40 which was about the going rate at the time. My dad had an arrangement with a local garage to buy in Minors that had been part exchanged, he would pay £30 for two providing they were in good condition with long MOT's. He would sell them on for £50 each. I no longer (sadly) have a van but instead have a 1960 2 door saloon, very nice but I do miss my van. Very interesting video Becca, love your content.

Sorry for having to be unpolite, but if you are going to manage the RREC-event as you have handled the video footage of the event, i.e. shaky, superficious and out of focus, I'm not going to raise my expectations.

Really Becca that is money well spent. That car means a lot to you and you get a tremendous amount of pleasure and enjoyment from her. So if that work gives you another 20 years of happy motoring, then it is good value. It's also an investment for the future. You were fortunate to find a genuine restorer who has decades of experience and really knows what they are doing. I've heard a lot of horror stories ! The trouble is that the people and garages with the knowledge to work on these lovely old motors are disappearing fast. Another reason to encourage young people to get into engineering and restoration work. Very happy for you and your 'voiture '.

Fab video. I love that museum.

Thanks for sharing Becca, it sounded like a fun weekend. I would have loved it. I hadn't noticed until now that Peggy's seatbelts were red. 😊👍

It is NOT pronounced Chrys/ ler dammit. It is pronounced Chry/ sler. sounds like Cry Slur. There are old videos of the man himself Walter P. Chrysler talking about the new Chrysler Corporation, and that is how he pronounced it in the video.

Why do the Brits give the letter A the sound of a letter U? They play sports with a bull, instead of a ball. To us a bull is a male cow.

Nice upload, thanks

Always liked Rolls Royce's. Have more books in R R than any other make. My mother gave me a lot of them for Christmas and the rest I bought myself. Really an interesting history of the men and women that made the company. History of the important part they played in the W W 1 and 2 and the technology breakthroughs they made throughout the life of the company and are still making today. I find any of their history interesting and realize how lucky the world was to have this company at worst times in the past century.

Excellent and thank you so much for the ride! I hope you will be able to do some more RREC events. My father was a member and I recall (when much younger!) going to the annual rally which I seem to recall was at Blenheim and indeed the picnics were an art.

Nice video!

Thanks again for sharing Becca, glad you're enjoying your new job 😊👍

Hi Becca, my dad was a Rootes fan, Hillmans, Sumbeams, Singers, quite liked them myself

Excellent video and a very interesting interview. The insight to the Rootes cars and Singer club was great. well done. Bob

😊👍

This is an example of the best video journalism and thank you. The detailed analysis is really helpful and as you say it was specific to your dearest car but the overview is very important. The cost relative to the value is irrelevant in these situations. You do it because it is your wish and she is now unique. I have just spent nearly half of your total on gearbox and front wheel bearings (that’s Germans!).

Lovely job.

Excellent video, very detailed explanation of the restoration process, and great advice for those considering a similar project. As for the cost, i think it's a great investment. 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed this. You describe very clearly every part of the process and the reasoning behind it. I don't think I have seen many broadcasters talk for so long without huge amounts of fluffs/edits :). I have owned and loved two Minors, and now have other classics. But the principles you extoll apply to all of my cars for sure. Here's to a long (er) life together for you and Peggy!!

Where did you get the heater on the rear window from ? Might get one for my car.

I enjoy restoration videos of these classic British cars, even if the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

That’s a good deal, as you may remember, I have owned my Triumph Stag for 44years now and it’s have work during that time and a full restoration in 2014 - 2016. As you will guess it’s a keeper for me and I have Grandchildren wanting to take it on when I stop driving, so it’s complete worth doing as you may well keep this Minor as well as other cars to use as time develops. Well done you. All the best Bob

Brilliant. This is the first time I have seen your video, you and your car. I am 76 now and suffering from arthritis in my fingers and knees etc so myspannering days are over. I have rebuilt my Landrover 90 (1991) with a galvanised chassis, new this and that 16 years ago and my car is 20 years old. I wouldn't thank you for a brand new car ( had some) as it is just a waste of money for today's registration. I will subscribe to your channel and see how you get on with her. Had a traveller and a two door saloon in the sixties. Loved them.

Hi, sorry but i coukdnt quite make iut how much you said the restore cost. Was it 15 or 50 thousand. The subtitles came up with 50.

A really good reality check. Great video

What car could you buy for that money. Not much. Eco-Friendly to the max. Let's say maintenance is 1k per year, complete no brainer. Thos should be the way forward. That saves the planet. I have a 1964 2 door saloon that I do the work myself, I'm lucky to be able to do that. Apart from the full rewire. Well done. A super car, I think, a bargain.

Excellent effort in preserving Peggy for the future. 😊👍

What a beautiful car

To an outsider it may not make financial sense. You work hard and you have a car you want to keep long term. In those terms it's a bargain. If your car makes you smile every time you look or drive it then your happy. Brilliant job from a fair and honest chap.

It’s wonderful what you have had done to preserve Peggy. I completely understand the attachment you have with her. I have a 1964 Morris and am in the MMOC and the Glos club. Had mine 29 years and a few other classics I can’t part with. I follow your podcasts with interest Becca. Congratulations, Well done 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

HELLO PEGGY. I HAVE DEALT WITH IAN FOR AROUND 15 YEARS, HIS QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP IS FANTASTIC, HES A STRAIGHT HONEST CHAP THAT ONLY CHARGES FOR WORK DONE, HIS MECHANIC JOHN IS ALSO FIRST CLASS, THEY ARE BETTER THAN ANY MAIN DEALERSHIP. 100% RECCOMENDATION . RILEY MAN !

forty pounds an hour is an absolute bargain!!!!! Thanks for an informative video.

Wow, money well spent and what a lovely dress too. ❤

One of the most beautiful blues I've seen,,,,,,,,,

Looking great!

I would love to have my " Rosie " refurbished, all the structural work has been done but she needs a respray and some of the panels realigned, I could see how happy you are.

Fabulous Becca, Peggy looks brand new.

The car looks fantastic and you have made it your own with your colour and trim etc. well done. Bob

Looks fantastic, I love the contrasting red wing piping, you looked so happy as well 😊
