    Have to admire anyone that can live and stay sane in a city, especially London. My wife and I were talking about this yesterday, and since moving to Cornwall, we feel so much less stress about driving and riding around, and whenever I visit my parents and have to drive around in a city, it all feels so oppressive, with many aggressive drivers racing round, beeping horns, revving engines. I feel blessed to be living somewhere where there’s just none of that anxiety to deal with.

    That red estate reminds me of a 1600cc VW Variant, 1971 according to the registration. Notice the vents at the back to allow the 4 cylinder air-cooled engine some form ventilation.
    The owner must’ve chucked on a different steering wheel when not having obtained an original item.
    Wishing all Dobbsters a lovely 🥰 Sunday,

    Nice video, great apartment .
    The car you were looking at is a VW 411 model from the early 70's , VW had 3 versions . The estate car , a fast back and a notch back( a typical sedan) only came with 2 doors a 4 speed and very early fuel injection by Bosch. They were a night mare to keep running correctly.
    I believe the earliest models may have come with carburetors .
    I am very interested in the Triumph Speed 400 , but am hearing that many have electrical issues. I think I will wait for the next years version and hope they get it sorted.

    Hi Freddie, great vid! I actually got a tank bag at the same time as you. I had been looking at Trip Machines website at their panniers and other luggage things. And when looking on eBay for Trip machine things, I found a used for 2 seasons tank and tail bag (which is their bigger tank bag) for 90$ canadian being sold by a gent in the US, new price is about $250 canadian + duty and shipping from india! I reckon I saved close to $200 canadian for a bag that only has about a year of wear, and trip machine products can last a lifetime if taken care of.

    I spent 2 1/2 years driving round London from 2008 repainting traffic lights, the sights you see. A Konigsegg sports car, Bugatti Veyron were the two rarest beasts. Members of the Royal family including them Queen and Prince Phillip, Camilla as well as various celebrities. At first there was the novelty of seeing famous landmarks and buildings, like streets from the Monopoly board, but eventually the constant traffic wears you down. I still remember during into London past the natural history museum at 6 am one summer morning when the was little traffic and the rising sun was lighting up the building with a glorious warm glow, a memory that will stay with me always as well as a journey that could take 20 mins at certain times of the day that would take two hours at other times. It was an experience but I’m glad I don’t have to deal with it anymore.

    *VW 1500 Variant* , in Feuerwehr Red. It was later fitted with a 1600cc motor and called the 1600L Variant, or Squareback in US. It has the Boot under the bonnet, and the air-cooled Motor at the back under the Boot, hence the cooling slits in the side wings at the back. It was built from 1961 - 1976 and was very popular with the German Fire Brigade (Feuerwehr), which makes me presume that because of the colour, this is probably an ex Fire Brigade example.
    I was the proud owner of a white one from 1975 to 1978. Very reliable, very robust, very noisy and it had a 0 to 60 in about 3 and a half days!
    Having said that, I loved It, and would gladly have one today..
    * If you are reading the comments to find out what car this is, several have commented on it, but only *shremich4583* has got the facts 100% right.

    Whitechapel wouldn't be my favourite part of London, has always had a crime problem. Brick Lane is ok though I suppose. But try heading just a bit south the other side of the A11 to Wapping and some great pubs there on the river with loads of history....if you are in East London again....I guess you've been to the BikeShed show at Tobacco Dock, Wapping so maybe you know that area already. Or else head a tad west, the other side of Commercial Rd to Spitalfields Mkt which I'm sure you would love...some great coffe and food places there. Great video as always btw. Thanks Freddie

    Nice film, I used to work in Whitechapel, great area, the history is so rich you can smell it. Jack the Ripper accounted for at least five victims.Tbe car is a VW Type 3 (very trendy right now) and Princess Anne is the King's sister. Would you like me to fact-check this book before it comes out?

    That car was a VW variant type 3, commonly known as a square back, nice to see London on a quiet day.

    It's a VW 1500, Freddie. The one developed when VW decided some people didn't want to cram the family into a Beetle. Air cooled heaven.

    I like the little tank bag. It could do with being big enough to take a novel. Not keen on the Triumph. 8:24 Not too pretty. Ridden through Whitechapel so many times, but I didn't live far from there. The usual slick video. Nick

    Its a 1971 VW type 3 squareback . One lives round the corner from my house in Melbourne Australia. We don't salt the roads here, so plenty of old cars survive here.

    Hello Freddie, Red car is a Karhman ghia derivative from volkswagen. Princess Anne is the Queens' oldest daughter, Charles, younger sister, the Princess Royal, sure it was just a slip.
    The Speed 400 seems to be outselling the Scrambler 400 by a bit of a margin. I thought it would be the other way round.

    "Tis true my form is something odd,
    But blaming me is blaming God.
    Could I create myself anew,
    I would not fail in pleasing you.
    If I could reach from pole to pole,
    Or grasp the ocean with a span.
    I would be measured by the soul,
    The mind’s the standard of the man."

    Your story about princess Ann (the late Queen's daughter!) reminded of when i was driving from Newcastle to the Isle of Wight with a friend. We hadn't been driving for long, when i became desperate for a "comfort" stop - so desperate in fact, that the nearest verge was going to have to do. While i stood with my back to the traffic, 5 police bmw motorcycles sped past, with blue lights on, followed by a maroon coloured roller, with the Queen mother in it, followed by more police bikes. Im pretty sure she didn't give me the Royal wave, although she must have seen me! 😅😅
