You should really think about using a microphone during your videos. I use earphones and can hardly hear what you are saying. Love your videos too. 👍

I'm 59 always classic car owner, but said good-bye to it all, just a small house and a new lexus, a little travel and enjoyment

I think your work is brilliant but your no1 so please look after yourself iam 66 no garage working in all weather's iam daft

Look after yourself and less of that grinding dust ,paint spray, welding fumes, ect . Your bodywork comes first now perhaps.

Love your work!,like you I know MK4s like the back of my hand, absolutely awesome cars!

Rent and expenses kills the job. Best to own the property and save on rent. The savings on renting makes many jobs possible.

Love watching you videos bud, I get what your saying completely, people don’t realise the cost involved in a workshop and the time involved in fabrication let alone the paint prep. Do what you enjoy and take it easy but keep posting please

Renting or even owning premises to work in has a big cost and pulls you down on earnings. It's 11 years since I let my rented workshop go, it was a relief not having that to fund. I retired at 57, 4 and half years back. I don't miss work and all the stress that it entails. I didn't do anything connected with the motor trade. Doing a few jobs for yourself on your own cars seems the way to go. Hourly labour rates kill any jobs dead. Take care Brian.

I love these cars.

Can you still get the original antenna that bolts under the wing

And we never got to see the car... bravo.

in new zealand when i was in my teens we had a mk 4 zodiac ,, took the v 6 out of it and put a 302 v 8 in it put the v 6 in a mk 2 cortina

Wing mirrors and door mirrors?!

I like classics but it's not the time to own money draining assets, u need to live frugally with few commitments

In my opinion the future is bright for classics! I saw something amazing the other day a black Auntie Rover P4, it looked very solid, and was running like a champ! However what made it really striking was modern upgrades I spotted-led bulbs, slightly lower profile wheels, more modern number plates, all the chrome was painted black, larger modern door mirrors, rear headrests, rear seat belts, electric windows, (how!?) led bulb upgrade on the interior instrument dials and interior lights, dvd screens in the rear of front headrests, modern reverse camera screen in the middle of the dashboard! It looked amazing I saw this late 50s bruiser at night and damn it almost looked strangely modern!

Well spoken changing times or moving times with generations changes im stuck in the 70s with my zephyr mk 4 And love it don't think the next generation will have the same passion.cars change and people change keep the zephyrs going

Car shows and classic truck events there are more and more modern stuff turning up! -Yanky car shows are full of modern Mustangs these days and nobody bothers with my 68 Galaxie...and my old trucks at truck events.

What a sweet sound, no electric cars gonna match the feeling you get when you really feel a V8 on song. If you know, you know. Just finished fitting and welding in my front cowl over weekend on the trans am and cant wait to hit the road. We're not dead yet mate!

Selling the rear quarters ya bugger! 😢 i asked if i could buy some and you said you was using them. I think your right about the car scene changing, most people can't afford the older stuff and just settle for a "modern classic" which is alot cheaper and easier to live with if your not mechanically inclined.

Those camera mics are ok close, and in a closed space (garage,car etc) but outside you really need a radio mic you can pin on your shirt.

EVs are not winning, actually the big manufacturers that committed to them are now staring down the barrel of multi billion dollar losses and are rowing back the commitment to EVs as demand craters and residual values bomb. Ford are going to lose 5 billion this year, that is what they admit to. The CEO of Toyota has said that EVs will never amount to more than 30% of the global market and I think he will be proven right. Britain will never have the charging infrastructure or power generation infrastructure in place to move to full EV adoption for at least 20 years, if ever. EVs wont go away but will be part of a mix, rather than taking over completely.

It’s time for real classic cars to be given a rating, say for instance only cars made before 1969 are called Real Classes, cars made after 1970 could be called 70s, 80s, 90, classics, and so on peoples ages have nothing to do with classic cars, I mean if you are 25 years old you can own a car made in the 50s like wise you might be 70 and own a car made in 1980s I know one thing if I go to a classic car show in a field I don’t want to see cars made in the 80s or 90s nothing wrong with them put them in the other side of the field behind a fence, I’m generally a 50 / 60s guy possibly mid 70s also, put it this way I like the column change leaver, bench split bench front seat style that ended in 70 / 71 I believe, the 70s American cars Elvis Cars I call them are what I call Classic that Lincoln is one Although elvis liked his Cadillac’s!

You should have come along to the Ripon show yesterday, it'd be great to meet you and see one of your Zephyrs. There was a mk IV Zodiac there, sometimes there's a really nice Zephyr 4 that turns up. I think with your cars, people like them for what they are rather than the memories they conjur up. Mk IVs were always rather thin on the ground compared to say, Escorts and Cortinas, so they're less likely to hold nostalgia for most people. Similar to expensive cars like Rolls Royces in a way - but those are still appreciated in a different way.

Personally I think we grew up poor and not many people on the street had cars so we were in awe of the cars that did appear and a spin in a car was an adventure and the memories were made and so the feelings of nostalgia are strong with us. In recent years everyone has a car and cars have become like furniture , not worth getting excited about just a means of getting to where you’re going, we’re as to us the journey was the adventure (once a week if you were lucky)

Times really are changingfor sure! I was at a show and a young 18 year old had bought his first classic car it was a 1989 Vauxhall Nova. At that point i started doing the maths and its a quarter of a century ago. I can remember that eternity of a wait until you were 25 for cheaper insurance . You got the cheaper insurance and the next 25 years pass in the blick of an eye. I can remember my grandmother saying the years were getting shorter now i know exactly what she was saying!!!

Struggle to hear you sat away over there mate.

I'm struggling to hear you even turning up the volume !

Yes times are changing and monies getting tight.

Well, apart from it being rather difficult to hear the audio of the video I did manage to hear it nonetheless - and yes, there does seem to be a change in the emphasis of what is a "classic car". It is very much a case of nostalgia for things we saw (or rode in) when we were younger and of course, as we die and are replaced by younger people, what they have nostalgia for will change. I'm seeing this in other interests too; a Mark IV means nothing to a lot of people but, say, a BMW E30 will. I don't hold with people saying a twenty year old car like an MGF is a "classic car" - it's just an old car that's survived in my opinion. Also, where will the skills for repair be? I can't weld, but I'm good with electrics and even electronics - and it'll be electronics that'll kill many an older car now. For me, I'll always associate a Lincoln like yours with the TV detective Frank Cannon, rather like I associate a Buick Century with Kojak!

A sympathetic light buff ,polish and rust proofing is the way to go in my opinion. A chat with a dent doctor about the door would be an idea along with an original radio in the dash . It has been asleep for 50 odd years and its going to be on the road again . Its a true survivor where would you find another one!

Oh how CUTE! The fold down armrest in the front seat, is a "TEDDY BEAR'S SEAT"! It reminds of a board they used to put across the seat, at the barber's, to make a higher up seat fir young boys!

I just LOVE these programmes, about one of my favourite cars! It' as if the programmes are specially for me!

Owes its survival to the Italian climate id guess, nice solid old car. Dad had a V6 Zephyr in 1971, a three year old F plate,the very front of the wings above the indicators was filler. Swapped it a year later for a 1.8 Marina. Thanks for the vid, straight and honest as always.

18 grand for a "Dagenham disaster".....😉😁😂

What are you looking for for it

Lovely motor.

Lovely example very well preserved and nice patina touch of class well done to you for passing it on

Can I have first refusal on the Lincoln. 😉

I"m hoping that this year, Santa will be leaving the sleigh at home. And arrive in THIS.(As my Christmas present!)

Beautiful car🇬🇧

I don't mind a car like THIS being BLACK inside, that suits it. UNLIKE the morgue -like cars of today, where everything IS black - even the roof lining! And that instrument panel is TO DIE FOR!

We had them as funeral cars 😊

Love it

Beautiful

4 speed column change off the MK3 this must be an early one .my dad's had floor change if I remember rightly.

40 mpg ? My dad's barely broke 30 and that was in 1972 only a few years old

Apparently, they have got a fully working one in a Florida??!!! museum of all places, in police white of course.

Great work your a inspiration and thank you ✌🏾❤️

Those big American V8 engines just go on forever.

I love these cars. I worked for a Ford dealer in Newcastle and we were one of the first dealerships to get these cars. I later worked as a taxi driver and I drove one of them. They were great cars.
