well my claim to fame was i helped Rae build this car and spent most of the weekend under the red rocket.... and sat eve drove back to bracknell to get parts and get it ready for sunday... engine was 1275cc on 1-3/4 twin SU carbs...... it was already sold to a customer in Japan Rae won driver of the weekend .......
Hard to imagine the A35 has a better power/weight ratio than the Jag. Great selection of cars, nice to see the Alvis Grey Lady driven competitively. Thanks for posting!
@@saxon-mt5byThe Austin A35 started life with 34BHP... The 'Speedwell' cars are running more than double that, through a larger capacity version of the same A Series engine...
@@MorrisPV Yeah, that's my point. The 1275cc Speedwell engine is 35% larger than the original 948cc A-Series. Uprate the 3.4 litre Jag engine to something close to 4.5 litres and then compare the cars.

I am feeling like I want to learn more about these historic British cars. Grew up in North America 1969's-70's and I feel like we missed out on a great deal of really interesting automobiles. Have been to the UK several times in the 90's but do not remember seeing any of the smaller cars in this race on daily driver duty. Doing tourist things trying to keep up with wife the history teacher.... Sir Rowan looked all business in that Jaguar.
Those racing A35s were very competitive back in the day. Amazing race by the Jaguar driver. Great to see the Austin Westminster as well. Far more sturdy and reliable as police cars cars in the 60s than the Jaguars from what I’ve read. An Austin A99 Westminster support car driven by Eric Carlsson followed Pat Moss’s winning Austin Healey 3000 all the way in the gruelling Liège Rome Liège Rally in 1960
I would have liked to see more of the Tatra 603 (rear-mounted V-8), but it apparently wasn't competitive enough to warrant that much attention. Curious to see how all that weight in the rear would affect cornering.
The “Powerful peanut” A35’s .owned quite a few A30-35’s over the years, great little cars .especially with the 1275 A+ engine from a Morris ital.with a few vizard tweaks to it
too right, I used to hate them as a kid. Our sports teacher had an A30 van which stank of mouldy horsehair and when you slammed the door the whole bodyshell reverberated.
It's absolutely appropriate as all the Austin A35s I remember from the day, were less than a litre engine size and 0 to 60 in at least half a minute plus and old ladies drove them, along with Morris travellers and the like. The Jag was standard engined but A35 was nothing like standard and thus cheated!
It's a total fix. The damned awful little A35 didn't have the standard engine in it or running gear, but the Jag etc did. Anyone can create a fully tuned big engined 'special' just to cheat and win.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. " Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" in German. ;-(

More entertainment in 1 lap than an entire season of F1!!
It was a shame they didn't show more of part one of the St Marys Trophy :(
Darren Norman, agreed!
Almost as much fun as a Lemons race. But it's
great fun watching luxobarges driving so far out of their design parameters.
@@GregorMarshall96 Isn't it available?
I know the last years they have uploaded the entire days in completion
@@greatestytcommentator I think they've used several different TV Production companies over the years, so not possible with the older early years ☹️
Surely the most exciting motor race ever?
This is real racing

Stick a 50% larger engine in the Jaguar and then see what would happen!

I was trackside that weekend and to see my childhood hero in the Alvis was amazing . Will never forget it . Thanks for the entertainment Gerry 👍🍻
Lovely words Richard, thank you, Dad would be very honoured to hear 🙂
I was there also, and had a great chat with your dad in the pits.
@@davidmarsden4268 Great to hear 🍻
Epic stuff, the A35 has always been a fantastical competitive little gem but a Standard 10 up there too, nah I dreamt that!
Absolutely excellent, more of this please!
Oldies muss man in der Garage schützen und nicht auf der Rennstrecke kaputt fahren!!

Wonderful stuff!
Thanks - shame not more of Dad in the Alvis, but good stuff 👍
Unbelievable !!!!
Im loving those little car's carving their way through the pack of Giants, proper close racing in proper cars.
A great achievement for the A35 but it was VERY modified.

I couldn't imagine racing such beautiful automobiles (picture Tony Curtis pronunciation, as seen in 'The Great Race')......

Tatra 603 on the grid...sheer madness!

Fantastic, magnificent racing. Thank.
Great race! Curious that there wasn't really a mention of the Austin Westminster which came 3rd.
6:39 I was like "that driver looks just like Rovan Atkinson" And he is!

Great Great Great!!!
Proper dogs bits racing
I'd much rather see these cars used like this than sitting at some car show or languishing in some "collection".
great racing!
Love it!
Grrreeeaat racing!!!
I didn't expect a roll at Goodwood. Makes me wonder how many times that's happened over the Revival meetings
Has happened several times at The Revival and I can think of at least 4 at the Members' Meetings too.
Wasn`t Rowen Atkinson in that race. big old Jag Said it was like it a Yachting
Those A30s are perhaps the ugliest, most bizarre cars to ever touch tyre to tar, but this one was impressive.
Wonder what's under bonnet
too right, I used to hate them as a kid. Our sports teacher had an A30 van which stank of mouldy horsehair and when you slammed the door the whole bodyshell reverberated.
Same with the Standard Ten. It’s all over the Jaguar.
@@1258-Eckhart In his later years, James Hunt drove an Austin A35 van. He had a lot of fun getting it totally sideways as often as possible
I always liked them as a young man it was the Morris minor I thought was ugly
Was wondering if the A35 was on steroids ?
It was!
Hard to believe the Jag driver can't find the accelerator
Can somebody tell me what mods were allowed in this race ?
1275cc engine in the '948'cc A35, Spitfire 1500cc engine in the '948'cc Standard Ten, and no modifications allowed for the Jaguars.
Highly modified 1275cc engine in the 948cc A35, Spitfire 1500 engine in the 948cc Standard Ten, and no modifications allowed for the Jaguar!
I hate the condecending way smaller cars like the A35 are to referred to as "impudent" by commentators. That car is like a rocket.
And those "impudent" cars are even quicker now!!

Where is Mr Bean?
He was in the big Jaguar Mk VII, number 7 car

We best make the most of historic racing at all circuits when possible then 🏁
Don't worry, THE WOKIES have overstepped in every direction worldwide. This great racing isn't going away at GOODWOOD.
Criminal racing and wrecking these classics.
The same people that moan about banger racers.
Maybe, but to be fair, a lot of these cars are either too far gone to be saved or more recently are replicas anyway
