What kind of oil are you putting in the dashpot?

The Pirelli CN36 was the upgrade tires for this model in the mid 70s

I'm one of those people who got a Focus when it was already a classic. I have a 2004 one, and I got it when it was already 15 years old. It's a blast to drive. I'm trying to preserve it as much as I can because I absolutely refuse to get a new car, it's just perfect for me.

Excellent video. But my Fiat ownership was disastrous! I bought a Punto selecta, 1 year old, in 1996, thanks to the demutualisation of the Alliance and Leicester building society. 1 year of hassle free ownership followed by crisis after crisis. Problems with fuses, gearbox, seat belts, even the key snapped in half in the door! A beautiful car but appalling build quality. It’s been Toyota all the way ever since!😂

Fantastic to see a proper engineer at work. No computer required. Real intelligence and wisdom beats AI!

The wing is ridiculous

My Morris, 1100 was my first car.I loved it. The ride was, as you say, outstanding. It was roomy and just a great car.

I have a 1.2 panda 4x4, it has a wheel at each corner and just handles like a mini, just so happy on any road

Great little car

I always liked the badge engineering and feel it's a shame it's gone... except it hasn't as you mentioned with VW and Skoda. It may have been messy but it didn't stop the 1100/1300 range from being Britain's best selling car for a long time so on that basis alone I'd challenge the received opinion that it was a bad thing when it came to marketing the car.

I had one of those MG1100's over here in the 'States. Was fun, until all the suspension mounts broke, totaling it. A friend had an Austin America... I think it was the same car. It shook its SU's loose and it burned to a crisp. That, and some other anecdotes regarding british cars has prevented me from ever considering purchasing a British built anything. Why did you do that to yourselves? To be fair, I hate American cars even more.

You might not beleive this but this is a true story. My relationship with a 1967 Duetto began when I was 21, I'm now 67. I was married for 28 years between then and now. I still have my 67 Duetto.

My mum's metro couldn't even take on a damp morning 😂

Allegro (Allagro) 3 estate in Eclipse Blue. Nice… Seriously?? 👍👍👍

1:25 In Spain they did, an it worked terribly, mainly because most of the Indicas sold here ended up in the junkyard before 100000km with serious problems after 50000km, also because despite being sold at 6000€ (under 5500 pounds) the car looked really badly built, it consumed a lot of petrol (even the diesels consumed more than most petrol citycars), and confusing pricing policies made the decently equiped versions more expensive than the basic Panda and Matiz (better built) and just a few hundreds of euros shy of the Atos (Amica there in the UK), and many people just spent those 300€ in upgrading to the €8200 reliable boxy korean rather than staying with the €7900 trim of the Indica. A close friend bought a diesel Indica and it was her worst choice in life so far.

Had a blue 78' in Australia, well proportioned & great design, fun car in my early 20s,liked how the roof stored under the front hood turned 90deg. Would have another,look great in white,15' rims 50s tyres, 1300 with small bumbers look better than later ones!

To me this is one of the top 5 greatest cars ever...

Instead of actually producing something as potentially exciting as this, MG has instead always turned out uninspiring cars. For any given time period, they were ( and still are even under the new Chinese brand) always second best…at best…to their competitors. For decades MG were only supported by a clientele of backward-looking, pipe-smoking, die-hard ‘only ever buy British’, Golf Club Geralds in the UK.

Excellent video! Very interesting

Amazing video! THIS is why I'm restoring mine!

You present the Capri as if it was a musical. Well, it's not. 😉

The car I enjoyed the most. Ever. Excellent video, thanks!

should be added that the turbo does in fact have shocks, as well as ARBs front and back of course

Great video and story. Look forward to you doing a story on the Rover SDI. I had 3 and still the cars I have enjoyed owning the most. For younger readers, if you think the SDI still looks modern today, can you imagine the impact it had amongst the boxey cars of the 70's

i *really* want to get an insight. people seem to enjoy tuning them, but i want to experience it stock. the only trouble is in finding someone who has the know-how to work on one.

I thought UA-cam didn't allow sensible material... This is some kind of adult content :) Very hot this hatch...

I think I had a Matchbox toy of this car, it had BMC Pinafarina stamped underneath. as I grew from schoolboy to driver I realised I never actually seen one and had always wondered what it was. If I found it is the toy worth anything?

Like the plan with the suspension: the world has all but forgotten about how clever this system was. Engine sounds good: can you do a feature on lean burn and why it was discarded for the BMW catalyst system? Is there a roll/crash cage that could be discretely fitted to make the body a little safer in the highly unlikely event that having a little too much fun goes wrong? Not a lot of structure between engine and driver in the original design...

Wow what a super car

Your videos are very informative & interesting many thanks, best stick to British cars

I agree a truly wonderful car

Fun!!
