I learned to drive in a Mini 1000 , they were a street legal Go Kart !! SO much Fun !!
Uhmmm.....The "Dieselgate" fiasco had nothing to do with the Volkswagen type 1 Beetle. VW never sold the Beetle with anything other than an air cooled flat four engine, and never produced a diesel version of this powerplant. Beetle sales started going down in the 1970's due to Japanese competition, which is why Volkswagen designed the Golf line of cars.
You tellem, brother!
You're exactly right
Although they did manufacturer the original beetle in South America until 2003
If my memory serves me right, the Lada is a Fiat 124.
Yep
It is but without the twin cam.
Our first family car was a 6 volt Volkswagen Beatle. My father found it was easy to start in frost or snow conditions.
A "Beatle" was either John, Paul, George, or Ringo. And your family never drove a "Beetle" because that name was never officially used by Volkswagen.
It was also easy to drive in the snow due to rear engine weight on rear drive wheels…
the Lada Riva is actualy a fiat that was sold to Russia and rebuilt to how we see it today
Yeah, love both of my Mini Coopers. One vintage 74 and and a 2017. Also own a vintage Bug and a 2014.
I like your picture, how long do you keep your hair? I find that attractive, please describe it?
@@danielobrien1571 hi Daniel. My photo was fake
@@okSiri.. I see, so you were using a model's picture to simulate how you really look in reality? Are you truly a female and do you have very long hair? If so, can you describe what it looks like and also describe yourself and your interests please?
The type 1 was the beetle not the bus.
This video has a lot of mistakes
This has been very interesting. My father had a Model T, I had (the LOVE of my life) Volkswagen Beatle. My cousin had the Fiat. I knew they were good authorities. 👍
The Hindustan Ambassador didn't sell well because it was necessarily a good car; it was more because it was one of the few cars even available in India for decades that was sort of affordable. People today might view it nostalgically, but a great many Indian citizens for a long time were sick of being denied more modern cars because of a restrictive government with outdated laws.
Leonard Lord had nothing to do with the Mini initially designed by Sir Alec Issigonis as far as I know Herbert Austin was still alive when the Mini launched in 1959
The Mini Cooper was a derivative of the original Mini (made as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor originally) as a result of the engineering prowess of John Cooper. Whilst Leonard Lord was the instigator of the competition, the engineering team you mention did not, I believe, involve Cooper originally, as he was a freelance.
The original mini was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis who had previously;y designed the Morris Minor. The whole concept was his design and it was launched in 1959. John Cooper persuaded Sir Alec Issigonis, to let him produce a high-performance version of the car even though Sir Alec did not believe it would sell. In 1961 the first Mini Cooper hit the streets and was an immediate success, firstly with a 997cc engine producing a massive 55bhp.Later adding the S version with the 1275 cc engine which became a competition success.
Sadly the modern cars called minis are good cars but only play lip service to the original minis being more of a badging exercise by BMW. The idea of a very small cheap car lost. I owned an 850 Morris Mini in 1967 and up rated the engine and different exhaust etc . You didnt go fast in modern terms but you felt you were. I later had a new 1275 GT clubman which was a great car. It had wind up windows which my 850 didnt!
for the most part, John Cooper was brought in LATER to MG/BMC Competition Dept to help hop up the Morris Mini Minor as it was called, and Austin Mini. My Dad joined MG/BMC Comp Dept for 1955/6 season as #2 man wiht his mate Marcus Chambers
GOOD AND BEST VIDEO. HINDUSTAN AMBASSADOR WAS A CAR WHICH WAS BORN IN INDIA. AND GROWN AND BECOME POPULAR IN INDIA. FROM POLITICIANS TO BUSINESSMEN TO TAXIWALLAHS. ITS A TESTIMONY OF BRITISH-ENGINEERING. IT HAS STURDY BUILT. FRENCH FIRM PSA GROUP BOUGHT IT IN 2017. AND WILL RE-INTRODUCE IT IN 2024.
5 Million minis were produced, not 5 Million Mini Coopers....... Cooper is the sport variant of the mini.
It would have been good to see the original Morris Minor, the Land Rover and the Trabant.
You should make more lego related videos, such as top 15 biggest lego sets, life size lego cars etc.
As a past and current Mini and MINI owner, I agree with its placing 😊
Alert about auto insurance: Do NOT think that $40. /Mo auto insurance is anything but a scam.
you forget about the greats car alive the 1967 Impala BABY from supernatural
Ehh. Dad had a 69. Malibu tho now those are nice
67 introduced several cars that may could have made the list over the Russian whatamcallit.
I had that also. Chevrula '75 before it became Chevrolet with a 360 cart engine. It was awesome, easy to fix, safe to drive. Steel you know.😮💨
No Vette's???
I'm currently the proud and determined owner of a 60's vw type3 squareback. Unfortunately, her previous owner lived by a river and never maintained her, effectively leaving her to rust and rot away from the bottom up. My old man and I towed her home and started stripping her down to get ready for the repairs and sand blasting. Currently struggling with the removal of the driver side hinge window, which already broke 3 screwdrivers, and the passenger side door, on which the bolts won't come out.
The Chevy Bellaire, the Dodge power wagon.
There are many that should have made this list over a well couple of cars the majority of folks have never heard of.
No Vette's?
You forgot the Jaguar E type.
jeeps were made in brampton, ont canada AMC corp then chrysler bought the brand
The Citroën 2CV was called "the duck".
Mine was called "a family four-seater convertible sports saloon"........
The Duck was the Honda 50. The 2 CV was the Snail.
@@michaeloreilly657 Perhaps it depends on your context. When I was in Germany, the 2CV was called Die Ente.
Great List. A few corrections-comments.
1. You said, with a straight face, that the Citroen 2CV was design so to go 130 KPH on a plowed field and not break a bunch of eggs. Give me a break!!!! The 2CV had such a TINY engine, it could barely go 60 KPH (40 MPH) on a HIGHWAY. The quote from Top Gear is "carry four people and 50kg of goods at 30mph, across muddy and unpaved roads if necessary"
2. The Lada, which I am very familiar with, my father bought one new and drove it for 15 years, was NOT an example of any... "Soviet ENgineering", you clueless person, it was a rebadged FIAT 125, (also available in Poland as the "Fiat Polski:, and it was an example of OBSOLETE 50s ITALIAN ENGINEERING.
3. If you include the Corolla. I would ALSO include the VW GOLF and even the Honda Civic.
Tesla labels their cars model "S", "3", "X", and "Y". This forms the word "sexy". Elon Musk smokes a lot of weed afterall....
Why no model "E"? Because Ford has the copyright on that particular name, so Tesla substituted "3" instead.
My grandmother used to own two Corolla's, old design, and new design.
Before the autobahns were built, typical roads in Europe would go at most only a few miles before coming to a village, town, or city and following the streets. When the autobahns were built allowing continuous driving for hours at highway speeds, most cars, even powerful luxury cars couldn't take it without overheating or other failure. The Volkswagen apparently had engineered its air cooling to match its engine size and power and was able to continue without slowing (top speed 100kph/60mph) for hours until fuel ran out.
Beatle should be number one
America desperately needs a reliable economy car with a small displacement engine. I'm making a car with a motorcycle engine. A cycle car.
They make those already. Been made before. Check patents
5:02. 19th century?????????
I was questioning this myself, all those people in the latter half of the 1800s driving Cadillac
"Nineteen century" or "twenty century"? (5:01) Is the Cadillac from the nineteen century?
Of course Americans never heard of the Renault R4, the first succesfull hatchback, millions were made so why bother
this is very british view, americans would put there F150 or some Chevy. and of course any other country has this view very different.
@@bohuslavkanovsky4345 But it is an American video. Still, I have owned a Renault 4, an original Mini, and a 2CV. All of them are iconic in their own way.
The VW van was never a type 1. Type 1 is the VW Beetle and Type 2 is the first bus.
I have a vw bus and bug
Mini #1??? Only brits might think so!
I thought #1 would be the Vette but it's not even on the list?
Except for the horse drawn cars & the T Ford, the rest are not Vintage at least here in Australia as Vintage ends on the 31st of December 1930.
"Hoover Carts" were by no means the USA's "most popular type of car" in the 1930s. In fact there were very few of them, since there were millions of cars in existence then from the boom years of the 1920s that could be run cheaply. You can see the proof of this fact by the many photos of the migrants fleeing the Dust Bowl of the midwest in their fully functioning automobiles - with engines. And these people were mostly the poorest of the poor at that time. Furthermore, the photo at 13:24 of what looks like a 1937 Ford has nothing to do with the Depression, since this shows a car someplace in Europe during World War II in the early 1940s. Gasoline was very scarce to non-existent then in a lot of countries, so in a handful of cases cars were reconfigured to be pulled by horses. The proof that this is during the war is that the car's headlights have been painted over, to conform with blackout restrictions to make bombing raids by enemy planes more difficult.
The Ford Model A came after the Model T 🙄
The first Ford was a model A. They went to T then started with A again in 1927!
Volvo 240 should be on this list
This is just one more author of literature and videos who STILL believes, ERRONEOUSLY that Henry Ford " invented " the assembly line circa 1910 - 1913. The assembly line actually, historically was invented by the Swift Company circa 1869 as a way to speed up the processing and canning of meat to prevent spoilage.
To appropriately credit Henry Ford, he was the first automobile manufacturer to apply the principles of the assembly line to the building of an automobile.
In my opinion, Henry Ford was a great man. He was responsible for putting America on wheels. By 1927, 75% of all the cars on American roads were Model T's. I also believe that if he were alive today, Ford would still be building ONLY Model T's! He was extremely obdurate! Even when GM's Chevrolet began outselling the Model T in the early 1920's, Henry refused to capitulate to pressure to design a new model. His son Edsel and a team of engineers designed a replacement and built a prototype to show to his father upon Henry and Clara's return ftom a trip to Europe. Henry was so insenced that he literally took a sledgehammer to the prototype. He told them that HE was Ford Motor Company, and HE made ALL decisions, alone! Now thst is obdurate!
Henry Ford's stubbornness would have killed his company if he'd been able to rule over it without any additional input. If he hadn't died when he did, allowing the 1949 Ford to be created, the company WOULD have died after World War II.
True.
Renault 4 is best car .
Chris Kane drives a 57 Chevy made out of human skulls.
Wrong.
Volkswagen does not support car collectors at all. Even parts need to be ordered somewhere else. Mercedes and Volvo, Citroen and Renault have most of the parts in stock. If you are a Ford US Models driver, you are very lucky. Even the oldest cars can still be maintained by original Ford parts, purchased by Ford USA. On the other hand: many Countries already try to keep collectors cars out of certain "restricted areas". In France for example, old cars have to stay out of most cities. France tries to get collector´s cars completely off from the public roads. European interdictions will touch car collectors painfully in future. By the Way: the Volkswagen ID Buz is ugly as hell and has nothing to do with retro or with the original "Bulli".
I drove 6 Volkswagen beetles over a period of 10 years. A much more reliable car then the Mini - sorry Englisman 😂
You talk about the 15 most succesfull vintage cars, where are Renault 4l and VW Golf? And why Mini Cooper is #1????? (Fewer than 200,000 Cooper were produced out of 5 millions of Mini's)!!!
None of the list were "Vintage" so why use the term? Vintage cars were made between 1919 to 1930, why not research you claims Top Fives?
No Chevy Corvette???
So many mistakes in the narrative. If you want to make a film about classic cars please do your research and get your facts right.
Get your story right! re: DB5 Aston Martin. David Brown made them BUY IT at full price, there was NO deals, and cost twice the price to do the mods! being My Mum was secretary in race shop, my dad a former race mechanic at Astons... and when the DB5 came to America, San Franciso for the Premier of Gold Finger, US Customs would NOT let the car go until the 30-cal Vickers machine guns were removed! MyDad went and removed them, made drawings, and mnade wooden replacements. GET YOU FACT STRAIGHT! David Brown never gave away anything!
