I take Chris Howells Austin out for a drive and we have a little look around with his son Oliver . As they say in Tesco.... Every little helps..... :) paypal.me/alex...
That only looked mildly terrifying. If it had been me, then it would have been extremely terrifying with no synchromesh on first gear, the weird indicators, no seat belts and 34 bhp. Very nice little car, however.
Lovely video looks like you enjoyed the ride great stuff 👍 Just need a door strap offside He’s a good lad!! great to see Making me wanna get my a30 out 😊😊
@@Alexsassets I’m sure you know by now that lamp underneath the clock is the courtesy lamp from your door switch Not many of those work 👏👏 I’m getting mine done I’m an electrician so it’s easy for me 👍 Enjoy There’s a nice one on arrived last night in cream at the bangers and cash ready for auction . 2 dr Thornton en le dale Enjoy 😊😊
What a great looking little car and Oliver is a lovely little chap and so refreshing to hear him talking about the features on the car. Looks like he will be keeping those little cars on the road for many years to come.
What a fantastic video. My Dad rescued a 1958 Austin A35 (2 door, palm green) from our local scrap yard in 1998 when I was 13 as a project for us to work on together. I spent hours looking through the Haynes manual and Autofurbish catalogue and then working on it with my Dad until we finally got it back on the road. Happy memories too of driving it into college after passing my test when my friends all had Saxo's and 106's. That car got me into the world of classic cars. It is great to see all of your knowledge and passion being passed on to Oliver, I hope he gets to enjoy driving Barney in years to come. Thank you for bringing back happy memories.
What a lovely little car Alex you really looked like you were having fun 🙂. I really hope Oliver is able to drive his own car when he's old enough and not have to worry about fuel and the government stopping the younger generation using classics.
I absolutely loved this little car. And Oliver is great. He is what this future world needs. He even said off camera that he loves the smell of petrol 😆
@@Alexsassets aw he does look very keen and full of enthusiasm. We definitely need people his age involved. 🙂 I did see a cheap A35 on ebay but it needs lots of work.
Love the A35 and A30, both pure 1950’s motoring. Great video Alex, thanks to Oliver and Chris for showing the car, it’s nice to see young people showing such an interest In classic cars.
Pheasants are such weird things. If you toot your horn they usually just ignore you, which is why so many get squashed in the road. But if you stop and get out and clap your hands they are gone in a flash! I would never have thought to lift the 'flying A' to release the bonnet catch. I would probably have been fiddling around for half an hour looking for a little catch hidden between the slats in the bonnet grille. Always enjoy your videos.
It looks to be in nice original condition.I used to own an A30 back in the seventies.Back then it was just an old car,not a classic. The one I owned had a crash gear box, so double clutching was required.❤
Intrigued by the blanked off hole in the boot, as I understand that the 1st. Classic Mini’s had a similar hole in the boot and of course the central dash covered a hole, because they started off being “built up” on a large shaft right thro the middle of the shell, maybe those were similar. I can see your classic car knowledge and review expertise is at threat from the little Oliver after watching this video 😳

Oliver was great.
Great little Austin and video
Everything works so well and I didn’t see any rust holes. Barney just needs a blue paint job

These are lovely little cars and they are so cute. My mother had a black A30, the sound brings back some wonderful memories.
Fab little car. Love to own one myself one day. Great video Alex!
BRILLIANT Alex. Looks like you all had fun - you have to love Oliver :-)
Well it’s a fantastic little car, I’m now awaiting Oliver’s own channel!! Great to hear the enthusiasm of the youngsters 😊
What a lovely little car Alex you really looked like you were having fun 🙂. I really hope Oliver is able to drive his own car when he's old enough and not have to worry about fuel and the government stopping the younger generation using classics.

I hope the next generation have the opportunity to enjoy classic cars as they're a great way to learn about engineering.

63 years old ....ace little car...
Well done, you got the hang of that very quickly. Oliver is a lovely lad with all the right ideas, great stuff.

Oliver is a star 🥰 . Such enthusiasm

What a lovely car and it drives so well , I’ve driven many of vehicles in my life but never a Austin A35 I think is brilliant.
wot a sweet little car! 😍
What a great chap, Oliver!
Great video alex it reminds me of the one my dad had but it was the van version in about 1974 I helped him hand paint it dark green
What a charming little car!
Little fella is a right charmer, you need to watch yourself Alex 😉
Hi Alex,
Great little cars these still are, I was only 8 years old when this on was made...steer a steady course...😀
Love this car
My dad rolled an A35 back in the day 🤣🤣🤣
Omg! Was he ok? Lol .
I can see how he did it tho... it feels very dainty (like one wrong move with the wheel could cost dearly)
He was fine. It rolled around like a snail 🐌 Because the roof on A35's is so strong it didn't crumple up 🤣
@@jrbs oh to of seen that.... did he have a seatbelt! Lol
I had one. Took in on a plane from Southend to Le Touquet in 1963 and drove to the south of France and back
Wow on a plane! Can you still take cars on planes now?
@@AlexsassetsUnfortunately not. That probably finished in the early '70s.
Was it on a British Air Ferries Carvair? Just like Mr Goldfinger used in the film.
@@stephenholland5930 I do not know, but perhaps a search on Google would produce the answer
@@stephenholland5930 I do not remember
Ok
Alright
Worst car austin ever made hardly no room inside looks very pokey looking from outside if u had accident ud have problem to get out car
Possibly the most underrated classic British car. Even though they appear delicate they are actually quite bullet-proof mechanically. 🙌🫶💪❤
