    Favorite part of the Redline Rebuild is it isn't about LS swaps and big turbos; just bringing these nice examples back their former glory!

    My dad set me on the fender of our 1959 Sunbeam Rapier to watch while he adjusted the valves. I watched and learned by the age of 7 how to do that work, forever instilling in me the desire to work on all things mechanical.

    • @marcryvon

      I helped my Dad rebuild the manual transmission on his 1956 Ford Custom. I was about 8. My first task, cleaning the case in & out, then gears. I already had a photographic memory, him, not so much. But together, we made it !
      Sweet memory of my Hero !

      Electrikity cars are for the rich,,, even the hybrids are not for the poor. And while they go ok range is an issue. And tow??? Naah does not happen. So too take the boat to the river or sea, the caravan on holidays, tow your special interst vehicle or racecar they are totally useless. Maybe a 100k to a battery. That takes hours to charge!
      Ditto for tens of thousands of trucks small to large
      Then all the smog from the electricity grid, fugly windmills and fugly rooves with all the disposal dramas as they wear out.
      Plus classic car owners are still going to drive them. Any Govt trying to ban petrol sales at a reasonable price will end up in huge trouble. As has happened in Eastern Europe very recently.
      As a car dealer I simply will refuse these expensive very high maintenance toys. Tesla seems to have the suckers however with used cars that are not really good. And I am far from unusual. Dont need the inevitable warranty claims.

    Love these videos. A month’s of work in a 15min video. Cars today are like a bic lighter, once the flame burns out you throw it away. But that said back in the day you did really good if you got 100k out of your small block Chevy without any major repairs. Now Honda’s and Toyota’s go 400k easy.

  • @toddvolpe6396

    The first car I ever drove was a car that my father purchased for $600 it was a 1966 Austin Mini-Moke and he bought it in 1967. Much like this Cooper it had a transverse mounted engine with the radiator facing the driver side but the engine looks identical to mine except mine only had one carburetor.
    I used to run from our bus stop across the golf course home so that I could ask my father permission to drive down the quarter mile driveway to pick up my two brothers.
    I was 10 years old. My father gave me that car when I was 25. It was my second car but I loved it.
    I watched you rebuild this engine with great interest I don't know what cc it is mine was 850 cc
    I was waiting to see what kind of oil you put in the carburetor's reservoir.
    Thank you for the excellent video coverage of your excellent work.

    The only other car I've seen with a radiator that small was my mate's 1.0 litre Suzuki back in the 90s. Once we'd been driving on the highway for thirty minutes when he said "Check this out". He pulled over, opened the hood and - to my surprise - grabbed the radiator cap with his bare hand. He undid the cap and removed it. The header tank was full and he put his finger in the barely warm coolant. It was the most vivid example of engine thermal efficiency I've ever seen.

    I love the channel and I love the effort that's done. Obviously, the time involved is legitimate and the work is authentic; what bothers me any more with "reality" TV is knowing that none of it's real and I always question whether of these "barn finds" are actually found in a barn, or just bought and placed there..... Especially the actual "barn find" shows.... TV magic in my opinion.

I still have the tool to balance those SU's. My favorite was the Tri power Austin Healy 3000. I am just catching up on your rebuilds. I stopped being a professional Auto Tech in the late 80's and switched to Computers. Still into the hardware though. 😉 I forgot the Vanden Plaz.

    You never showed how much fun it is adjusting the SU carb mixture. I spent 10 years messing with my own Austin got to really love or hate Lucas electric. Who ever thought putting the distributor to block out the rain! Solution to most problems was spray all electrical wires and often had to take the distributor cap and wires inside and dry out in the oven for a few minutes to get things running again. But it sure was a fun car to drive. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    Hi Hagerty guys, I loved this rebuild as most of my favourite cars are British. I have owned a Morris Minor, which has the in-line version of this motor in 948cc. The A-Series could be considered as Britain's answer to the small block Chev. This group is also opening my eyes to lots of American cars as well. A suggestion for your next rebuild - an Australian Car, preferably E49 Charger!

    I guess someone didn't read the Mini's manual regarding pulling the powertrain. It stated that you undid all of the assorted wires and brackets leaving on the four bolts bolts to the subframe. You then blocked the powertrain and undid those bolts and using two strapping lads, pick up the front of the car and push it back out of the way. We did it that way and it worked very well. When the work was done you just reversed the process.

    Years ago I was working assembly at Mossville Caterpillar basic engine plant and when the engines were first assembled they went to a cold test dyno where they were hooked up to an electric motor and all the functions were monitored without actually starting it. One test cell operator hooked up an engine and started the test cycle and walked away to get a cup of coffee and when he got back there was forty gallons of oil on the floor from a welsh plug missing from the oil gallery on the block. The reason why there was so much oil was it was a stationary industrial engine with a large capacity oil pan. So even professionals miss things sometimes.
