Great video Gary 👌🎉
Classic obsession obsessed Gary, loving your motors , looking forward to nxt vlog.
Thank you......i couldnt make it to the nec, i was too busy buying a series 3 jag and driving it home down the M1......boy did i get some thumbs up from other drivers.....great video thanks mate.
This is my new favorite TH-cam channel. Bravo Gary!
Gary's enthusiasm shines through in these videos, very chilled and not averse to a bit of fun. I find myself smiling along with him 👍
p6 rover came in 2000/2200tc and 3500 v8 lovely cars and advanced in the day..i owned a 3500s which was the manual..love your vids Gary keep up the great work you do
Enjoyed it. Didn't go to the Practical Classics show - wish I had now! Liked the RR, and the 50-50 paint job on the Lotus highlights the difference between old and polished up. Oh, loved the 928 video, looking forward to the upcoming ones.
I'm working on my 1987 XJS V12 outside and every time I take a break it's to come back and watch some more of this channel that I only just discovered. It's so inspirational which is deeply necessary sometimes as I'm sure anyone also doing this type of stuff will agree.
Thanks for highlighting the ultimate Farina! 2:15
Love your videos Gary,the best out there
I really enjoyed this. I'd have a blast at that show. I have a friend who lives in Birmingham. I don't think he's a car guy though. If you have ever been to the Bartons Arms, you have probably run into him. He had been doing tours of the place. Don't know if he still is.
Met you at the show Gary, you were every bit the gent you are in your videos.
He enthuses me to to carry on with my 1989 Sierra Cosworth in moonstone la peach of a car but still need a little fettling here and there .Enjoy your programme cheers
Just came across Gary’s channel by accident. What a lovely genuine chap. You now have another subscriber.
Great video Gary, was a pleasure to meet you over the weekend. I hope the RR advert reached you, thought it would look good on your garage wall. Thanks again for your time, love the picture we got with the Rolls. All the best, James Dean
It was a great day out for me this year - Pleasure to meet and chat to you Gary! The Corniche is a credit to you and I can't wait to see more updates on the Elite :)
Brilliant video, really enjoyable from start to finish, you have a new subscriber.
I'm still learning alot about British cars through Gary and these wonderful shows. In America, We only had Jaguars, Rolls Royces and a few other British marques. And by the time i was a teenager, alot of those brands(MG and Truimph) had already pulled out of the North American market. I think my two favorites are the Jaguar XjS and the Rover 800 Vitesse.
Can’t wait for the Lotus. 👍
I know someone here in New Zealand with one of those 'Austins' with the Rolls Royce engine sitting on his drive. Been there for a few decades after he moved it from somewhere else.
Looking forward to seeing that 928 gleaming 👌
Hiya Gary I’ve been enjoying watching your videos speshly the XJS it looks absolutely mint 👌 .. got an idea I’m hosting a Audi TT meet at the motorist 25th of June that’s week after Father’s Day ..
Post code LS256JE its just other side of Leeds the place is amazing .. your welcome to come if ya free 👍
Great Video Gary really enjoyed it surely you can get your own TV show keep them coming
Brilliant show... 👌
Been watching Wheeler dealers since day one, lucky to be on the show for dream car. Life is nuts
I love the way they scattered the hay bails over the barn finds 👍
Murder to keep the cars clean though!! Regards.
Awesome review. For me, the best part - really the BEST part - is seeing the younger people who have apprenticed in to the industry. Bodes really well for the future of classic cars.
Brilliant video! Wait a minute, thats me right of screen at 1.57! It was good meeting and talking to you at the show on Friday.
Cracking episode, thx Gary
I know Nigel very well what a thoroughly nice chap he is, I bought my first Rolls Royce from him
Great video Gary. 👍🏻
" yes it's a barn find" "sir, why did you bring all the hay from the barn with you as well?" " it's date stamped..."
Great video, Gary. In your element!
Watching from north east Thailand
Oh.
9:22 The Wolseley Six, surprisingly, had a 6-cylinder engine, that one is a 4-cylinder 18/85.
Clip rất hay❤
I had a 4 litre vanden plas in 1978, it was a 66 E reg. loved it.
🤘😎🤘
Enjoyable watch. Did you pop in on the Lotus Grand Tourers stand? Experts on your Elite 501!
Briefly at the end of the show but everybody was starting to pack up..
@@classic.obsession Shame you missed them, but busy few days for you! I have an Excel myself, sort of the grandson of your Elite!
Terrific video!! I could watch 5 or 6 of these in a row!! I especially loved the ‘Barn Find’ section!! And the Cutaway Rolls was really neat to see as well!!
Hey Gary - Enjoyed watching this; it was a great show and plenty of interesting stuff to look at . The team at Footman James put on a great stand and the coffee wasn't bad either ! Great to meet you and chat about the cars and the Lotus and the Rolls both looked great (especially the Rolls 🙂) Not bad as a daily driver ! keep em coming and look forward to seeing what goingon with the Porsche . Cheers Stew and George
brilliant man wanted to get up to the show but was away thanks sir for showing us the show
Hi Gary. A fabulous show, and just as interesting, and entertaining (not to be underestimated), as your other videos. Just a thought though, and I don't know whether I missed it or not, but - I'm not hard of hearing, and the lady signing on stage looked like she was doing a great service to those who would otherwise have totally missed out : it would have been a nice gesture to have given her an introduction and an ovation as well. Maybe that happened and wasn't able to be included in the vid. No criticism implied by the way, loved it all.
Hi ted. Yes, she was introduced, looked after and treated as one of the team. She did a great job. Regards.
Another great show, so interesting- thank you 👍
Really enjoyed that Gary
Love your enthusiasm for the classic’s
Will definitely be following the 928 gt journey
Hello Gary Watching from our apartment in Spain admiring your cars, well done, look forward to meeting you at the RREC annual rally
Awesome!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I only went motion sick whenever the camera was panning with those shocks.
Had many rover p6 s, three 3500s mauals .flying machines but had a habit of jumping through hedges backwords in my hands.😂
Another excellent video Gary, thank you. I shall try and get to the show in November - big boys and their toys!
Gary there used to be a lotus 501 in front garden on Chester roaf in Helsby in early 90s I tried to buy it but the its not for sale were going to restore it !!!
Gary, this Vandan Plas Princess R took me back. I worked at a Renault distributor and took one in part exchange for a new Renault 4TL I sold to British boxer and household name at the time Billy Walker. Imagine that part ex for a Renault 4. Lovely engine that 4 litre RR.
What a car show
A minefield of information all under one roof
Well done to everyone involved in the show
Er..don't think it was a "minefield of information" [sic], that would be a really bad thing, a mine of information, maybe, yes.
The A90 Atlantic, has powered convertible roof, and they were a sales flop here in the UK.
The Americans liked them.
They were probably too expensive here but style wise I can understand it appealing to the American market…
Ohh boy has Mike stacked on the weight !! 🤔
Agreed that the Austin Atlantic looks great, but what is involved with replacing the rear wheels (e.g. for a puncture)?
Hey Gary, What is that music at the end of all your videos? Its been stuck in my head for weeks now. Cheers.
It’s ‘Classic Obsession’ a little tune I thought up for the channel. Performed by the LA’s. Regards.
...sound wasn't its best so we may have misheard but we're puzzled by the remark concerning the Scimitar axle. We had a SE5a Scimitar GTE slightly older than the one you stood next to. And in 8 years of doing our own servicing never had to dismantle the back axle and fill it with grease! Change the oil and check the level to schedule, yes, but never dismantle it. Providing the vent hole on the axle wasn't blocked that's all that was needed. Sounds like the one you spoke of was well past its best and very noisy.
Hi, it was way back in the 90’s so maybe I’ve remembered wrong. I just recall my friend being instructed to do this by the previous owner when purchasing it. Or was it to do with the gear selectors?anyway, I thought it was strange at the time.
The previous owner had lost his leg in a motorbike crash so the drivers seat was moulded into a weird shape because of years of his unusual weight distribution. So after developing sciatica and back trouble and numb legs he reluctantly sold the car!! Regards.
The Austen 1800 was the land crab,under steered like you wouldn't believe,I had one in 1974.gear cables used to fill with oil and would be murder to change gear.
I always thought that (for the Gear Cables, and Gear Selection) the Austin Maxi got some bad reviews, but not the 1800's.
The other problem was the inner drive shaft spider,mine destroyed itself and gauged the gearbox housing.
They were Austin 1800s, not "Austens".
Oops, sorry about my spelling.
I was there on the Sunday, I actually saw you but had no idea who you were lol, was that your corniche?
Yep and the Lotus…regards.
Nice one, next time il say hello if you are there in November.
This show looked like a white mechanics appreciation centre.....Sandell has a lot of coloured mechanics and turns up with a white kid
The land crab was the 1800/2200 Austin, Wolseley variants
Austin 3 litre was a bigger car.
Only bigger due to different front and read bodywork, the central section was the same as the 1800 and Maxi.
@@nickturner2813 it’s about 2ft longer
The land crab term was for the Austin 1800 etc.
Some people called the 3 ltr the land lobster, ( according to Google search!)
;)
Very nice video but I wish that Gary turns off or turns lower that shirt micrphone noise cancelling. It makes speech really difficult to understand. Especially during interviews.
Leaning over a classic car with a hot coffee! 🤬
