Any idea who made it & what parts bins it was made up from ?

Dennis - for some reason there's no name plate on the front of the one in the video.
Loved the staged accident at the start

Jag (XK?) engine

Not car related, but planes.

The title isn’t click bait, Russian pilots really did drink the alcohol from their jets.

A different world. Despite being (just) in my lifetime.

Was that the same one that appeared in the second Sweeny movie?

Quote

To get the performance needed Dennis uses a Jaguar 2.4 litre petrol engine which has an output of 130 bhp and this drives

through a Borg Warner Type 35 automatic gearbox. From the rear of the gearbox the drive is taken by a Morse Hi-Vo toothedchain drive unit to a point below and to the right-hand side of the gearbox. This gives a step up of 1.33 to 1 and the output goes forward to a Salisbury final drive unit with a reduction ratio of 5.8 to 1. The latter is supported on an extension to the torque convertor bell housing and an extension to the left-hand drive shaft is supported in bearings.

The nearside driving shaft is 18.25 in. and the offside 15.75in. and while there are conventional universal joints at the differential unit end, there are constant velocity joints at the wheels

Margate, 1980's with bits of bobs of period chod (including I think a reversing Matra Rancho picking up a boat at 4:53) and a Sally line ferry.

Quote from the commentary "We are trying to make it just like filling up with petrol" Nope that is never gonna happen.

Sounds like I had twin DCOE webers on it at the time, it has a blow trough turbo setup now.

never heard of this!

This might be old news but I really enjoyed watching this guy weld a massive crankshaft back together. Presumably from one of those hulking great old diesel trucks you see smoking about in India. 

Stick welder and hand tools (and a lathe) but nothing digital and a lot of feel for the material. I bet they got another 200k kms out of that crank

Some rare old tin.

Ps you might want to mute the music, it sounds wrong played at that speed.

(Google; Судно (Борис Рижий) if you want the correct speed music)

My Dad had that Renault 25. Same hubcaps, colour, style. I broke the aerial on it by swinging off it through the roof when I was 5.

That's a car I need to get hold of before I stop bothering with cars.

For those of a certain age, Steed's Jaguar is cool !
