The Humber Super Snipe that you say exploded in the first video never happened. Watch the video frame by frame and you can easily see that it's the La Salle that blows up. Also the screeching of the tyres on a gravel road is a hoot! ... View more

Knowing that most American classic car people don't like a slush box they might change there minds if this unit were connected to a torque converter. Not knowing much about torque converters, and even less about electric motors, I look forward to some comments. ... View more

I will take the 1969 Boss against the bloated, later model every time. Ever since 1970 America lost it's design direction and started producing horrible looking motor cars. ... View more

Somebody who is an absolute Corvette fan, with very deep pockets, is the only type of person to put up $90k for this junk. Put them back in the barn. ... View more

That's what I don't understand about Americans. They come to England, buy London Bridge, which they disassemble so that they can ship it back to USA, where they rebuild it in a dessert but then want to demolish one of their oldest motor car historic buildings in order to build a new modern building. I must say that I like your idea of building over it, thereby keeping the old and the new is a much better idea. ... View more

If you cannot afford the real thing, then this is the way to go. Beautiful replica and a thousand times better than a "Fake Snake" Cobra in every respect. ... View more

Pass on all of them thank you. America lost it from 1970 onwards in the design department in my view. ... View more

I was offered a 1967 Coupe 289 but the price didn't interest me even though it was very low. About two months later it was offered to me at half the previous price so, under sufferance, I bought it. I have owned over 200 cars, 3 classic car dealerships, a classic car repair shop but not ONE of those cars, including the Porsches, Ferraris, Maserati's etc. gave me as much pleasure to drive as did that Mustang. Only one other car came near it and that was a 1969 BMW 2002 Roundie. Both great cars that i wish I still owned.s ... View more

Absolutely unbelievable collection. When I started in old cars it was with a 1934 Austin Ten Four Door and my wife said that i wouldn't be able to live with it for more than 6 months before I would have to buy a larger car. She was correct, so I bought a 1947 Cadillac but I didn't sell the Austin. From then on it became a disease/obsession, call it what you like but it never leaves you. I am now 81 and although I don't have old cars anymore, I still have a 1933 Calthorpe motorcycle and a 1986 Honda Rebel motorcycle that I ride as often as I can. As for the Austin Ten, I had it for 29 years before emigrating to UK. From the smallest to the largest, a 1948 Hudson Commodore straight eight convertible, they were all great cars to have owned. ...

My panel shop reported to me when my 1951 Buick was being restored that the body had been galvanised and that's why there was no rust anywhere, however, about two years after the paint job rust appeared in several spots where the sanding apparatus had gone through the zinc on some high spots. Would this hot dipping, zinc plating have been normal on a '51 Buick? ... View more

As a lover of motorcycles, of which I have owned 52, mostly British from Triumph Tiger 110's, BSA Gold Star 500, Sunbeam S8 etc. Seven Harleys, one Moto Guzzi , one Czechoslovakian Jawa 350, plenty of Japanese and a couple of Chinese, I just loved your write-up. To all the people that have never owned a motorcycle, it's your loss and you don't know what you are missing. I'm now 81 and took my '86 Honda Rebel 450cc out for a 50 mile blast yesterday and still enjoyed every minute of it. All the best and enjoy the Triumph. ... View more

Having just watched Tom Cotter finding two very different types of car collectors it amazes me that the one guy acquires cars by the hundred, restores about 40 of them by the look of it, and then parks them off and does nothing with them! He just lets them collect dust and knows that the engines will freeze and the rubbers will perish etc. but that's o.k. as he has a couple of hundred more that he is going to restore. There are so many enthusiasts out there that would love to buy so many of his cars, put them back on the road, and enjoy them. That might only happen after he croaks, and that might be past the desirability date of the current generation so they will possibly go to the scrapyard. The other gentleman is the real McCoy collector, driver, restorer etc. and drives and enjoys his cars whether or not they are perfectly presented. Thanks for another great episode Tom.  ...

I watched him race a Cooper Jap I think it was, back in 1952/3 with the nose of his car just inside the tail opening of Roy Salvadori's car, for several laps until Salvadori had to let him through. It was at this same meeting, at Boreham circuit, where Froilan Gonzales spun his BRM H 16 off the track and into my fathers motorcycle sidecar that I was sitting in. What a great day. ... View more
