A different type of video this one, may be controversial, i'm talking about proper old school classics, pre 1980 cars here. I'm sure there are many others, but i am just speaking from experience. Comment below what your first car/ classic was!
I SOLD THE SCIMITAR AND BOUGHT SOMETHING…

So unfortunately the Scimitar had to go, i feel really annoyed that i was unable to get it to the point i wanted it to be, i really did love the car, but i just don't have the time to give the love that the car deserves . However, the new owner i'm sure will. Credit to Rowan for putting up with my nonsense again and transporting me another dinger home! There will be more videos to come don't yo...

keep your trunnions lubed! :)
bought our 77 se6a c 1980 and it was used for daily commute by my mother and we also holidayed as family, towing a caravan - so yes, it is a v practical every day car. - The construction and simplicity means nothing has changed in that regard :) Now needs full restoration that unfortunately hasnt been possible due to lack of funds...Totally original with nice light interior and white coachwork, owned nearly half a century :) - Even still have the classic caravan (also needing restoration) we used to tour with - They look regal together :) Hugely underated car!
Was this your first car?
@@Edwards_second_channel no, it wasn’t I believe it was my fourth :)
@@WillBowenclassiccars ok, a very cool fourth car!
I have an se6 its my first car and currently swapping an oldsmobile 350 onto it
NO!! - VAZ 2107 Was BEST 😮 That Radiator Grille Was A Work of Art 👍
30mpg from one of those 3.0 scimitars lve had one and I think 20 is nearer the mark
I own a fiat 130 saloon a bit like a giant lada
Minted
OMG. That exhaust pipe looks like it's dangling down! I'd avoid speed bumps like the plague until that's sorted...
Congratulations on your latest purchase! Hope that you enjoy hundreds of hours driving in your VAZ-2101 (Lada 1300 - license built Fiat 124). Personally my favourite Lada is the VAZ-2103 (Lada 1500 - with quad circular headlights and upmarket interior).
I have had the se5a and lada riva enjoyed both cars . Great to see a young man into classics 👏
Great to see you at 22 appreciating these old cars that I grew up with back in the 70s and 80s. That 1800 looks like a lovely car!
Thank you! I’ve loved classics for as long as I remember, I’ve had 3 scimitars, 1 bmw 1800 and now the Lada
I like the new car
I have had two .I like them
Why do people think that music is good on a video.time to stop.its noisy bollox
Video good.no need for music
This evokes happy memories as a kid. My Dad had a blue reliant Scimitar GTE from 1976 to 1986. I believe it was the 1971 Se6 variant. It had the 3-speed automatic transmission 😊.
I've had two .got a 1974 one now putting 7.5 Chevy Big Block for Drag racing. Please make more vids of yours .Keep up the good work 👏
Oooo i’d love to see the big block one
A good way to combat condensation on the windscreen & windows is to have a wiper inside the car & use it by hand - it's very effective!
Now that is cool
Cheers mate! It’s unique that’s for sure!
Best of luck, I enjoyed my Scimitar SE 5 for 70,000 miles 28mpg below 90mph on Autobahn with 18 gal fuel tank Regularly covered 180km between signposts every hour. V relaxing drive with high ratio back axle and overdrive 100mph at 3,000 rpm 4 hour , 350 m evening Autobahn trips from Munster towards Bavaria for ski w/e Rear shock replaced every 12k due to 4” of travel, 3rd gear every 20k as it would cruise at 100mph in 3rd gear with overdrive, back axle lasted 50k Cooling system & electrics troublesome - reputation for being flammable, fabulous fun. Successor to a Scimitar GT V6 Coupe
I have a Scimitar too, not quite a daily driver now I'm retired but it is my main car and I love it.
Take a look at my more recent videos… I’ve had. 2 since this video was uploaded :)
Would love that on my drive
Great looking car

2024 you still have it fam?
Old cars suffer from the domino effect, you fix 1 thing, 2 others break down or stop working. In my time as a car mechanic, I have never seen such a clogged coolant connection.
It was stored for 18 years with coolant in it 🤣
The gear change position was the 1st thing , it’s a diesel!
Can you tell me where
Can you tell me where
Believe it’s been knocked down now.
They were attached to my old school’s rugby pitch
Can you tell me where
Liking the car. Hoping to acquire one soon. Good luck on MOT
Pity it didn't have a towbar I had one it towed brilliantly heavy car.You could have used it as your tow car.
Watch my new series youll see what i have now ;)
Nice job.
Those TT seats would look ace if you can get them to fit. I really like that your car is blue. There doesn’t seem to be many in that colour. I’ve got a soft spot for a scimitar and came across your channel a few years ago when you had your first one. Glad to see you’re back and looking forward to more updates
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Please make sure you subscribe so you dont miss out on the next video!
. . . Its nice video . . . I need more,. . .. because i have good memory about this car
Thanks for the BMW update! Looking forward to hearing about the 5 series!
You’re really not 🤣
I AM. What engine is it?
n47 lol🤣@@Tyresome
OH.
Nice to know you still have the 1800 low dash NK... lovely car. The rear brakes don't have automatic adjustment and that caught me out, leading to a rear cylinder popping many years ago... 😀
I have missed driving the car a hell of a lot! Hopefully it’ll be back on the channel soon!
Great video... brings back memories of my NK journey!
Oohh lovely stuff! Always cool to see someone doing something interesting with a Scimitar!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've enjoyed it thoroughly as well! Stevie singing in the background really adds to the loveliness. Yes, a proper video would be rather nice, not that there's anything wrong with this introductory teaser!
Some gorgeous machines there!
Ours would have made it better ;)
DEFINITELY! @@WillBowenclassiccars
Good on you. Want one my self but Mrs.L is not with me on this. Bother.
looks very clean like the headlamps great work keep going and updating
She is coming along nicely!
Arrgh the sound is soo faint
I know! I will make sure next video captures it better!
Hey William, you lucky bastard...😉👍
Looks in great condition compared to Mikes! Sorry Mike, love you! ❤
Absolutely awesome mate! I'm sure it'll be an awesome car! Look forward to seeing you again at Scimfest 2024! ❤
