A video of me driving my 205. I'm an idiot and forgot to invert my camera so it looks like it's LHD lol

Not car related but if you enjoy the 70's...

Peugeot 309 GRD turbo rear axle fettling. Lots of good ropey old diesel content on this channel.

Engines Must Not Enter The Potato Siding (BBC1, 4 November 1969)

Modern life is rubbish...

The outboard is inside - how did that work with the exhaust 😂

 

[lesapandre]

This features one of the very few sold - but very cool  - Austin Westminster estates.

Pathe Newsreels were obviously having a very quiet day.

 

[lesapandre]

More motoring madness...

 

[lesapandre]

And more...

Ah the wacky 60's

The Radford Carabus

U.K.: A Carabus - A Unique Touring Vehicle With Living Quarters And A Garage For The Car - British Pathé (britishpathe.com)

 

The car in the film still exists. Here it is at the 2018 MCR Beaulieu show

More 'modern life is rubbish'. Interestingly the boat does not seem secured to the chassis when on the road...Pathe seemed obsessed by these sort of gizmo-things. These were cinema newsreel fillers while they changed the films.

Will our own age look so stupid - I expect so.

It already does to me!

Mondeo - 1992

A video presentation intended for dealers to help them with the launch of the then brand new Ford.

"The 21st Century": Autos and All That Traffic (1969)

Surprising the amount of features being tested on cars and roads which took some time before they are considered "normal"

 

[lesapandre]

At last a vision of the future that was the future...the folding bike accurately predicted except standard bikes have not been supplanted.

The Beast is coming up for sale - didn't realise John Dodd had died

 

[lesapandre]

More 50's madness. Suspension on the Standard looks pretty iffy.

Vintage Van Life is nothing new.

After struggling with carburetors on the Audi I owned, I now understand why people hate carburetors. So engine swaps like this make sense and also make the car more usable. So I don't mind this.

Engine swaps have been  done for a long time. I am not against them except for electric conversions. It is far too early to say if these will be a good way to go. Still here in Spain I cannot change anything on a car without a lot of paperwork and hassle. Even adding lay light running lamps is a pain in the backside.

Yes, engine swaps have been around for a long time, but it almost always seems to be large and too powerful engines that people switch to, which I don't see the point of. An MX5 engine and box in a Marina, I would assume, should be a pretty good swap in terms of both engine power and keeping the car usebale. And I agree on electric conversions.

Norway is also quite strict about changes to vehicles, I don't think people in the UK know how good/easy they have it. But I hope it will get better as engine changes and other modifications make older cars safer and more environmentally friendly.

We're going to see a lot of changes with old cars in the near future, I'm already having problems finding someone who can weld and almost no one knows anything about carburettors and point ignition anymore and it's only getting worse unfortunately.

Sounds like there’s a gap in the market for a business opportunity…

There are some who still do this kind of work here, but they are becoming rare and I am not sure how much work there is in it either.

I wasn't sure if Henry Kelly was still alive, because this is what happens in my head.

 

He is, and did these NOT Partridge adverts a few years back.

 

 

 

This advert seems contradictory.
