Classic cars racing at an old GP circuit in Kent UK

After an absolutely horrendous 5 months of weather here in the UK, thankfully it's improving and long may it continue. Heres a few minutes of what the day was like at the circuit that rhymes with Bran Snatch. Can't name due to copyright !
A fine winters day for fine old Triumph Spitfire 1500.

Been a long time since our last video, we've been pretty busy doing stuff and we have a few interesting features coming up in the next few months. In the meantime, here is Simon in a 1970's Triumph Spitfire 1500 in the winter sunshine.
Jack adjusting the tappets on his MGBGT. So young people do take an interest in older cars!
Переглядів 1 тис.2 роки тому
Jack is Peters son and he loves classic cars like his dad. He brought himself an old MGBGT from 1979 back in summer and has done a fair bit of work on it to make it reliable as an everyday car. A great starter classic which is quite cheap to own and run as almost every part is available. Today he's adjusting the tappets.
Some interesting old aircraft at former Battle of Britain airfield, RAF Manston.

A visit to an old Battle of Britain airbase, one among many in our area. A great day out that costs 5 quid, plus a bit of grub with your mates and having a chuckle, you can't beat it! Don't forget, we're not experts and are possibly wrong in a lot of what we say but it's just a bit of fun and most of all, memories.
We visit the Military Canal and have a lark around for good measure.
Переглядів 1822 роки тому
Built as a 3rd line of defence against invasion, the Military Canal in Kent was finished in 1806 and runs for 28 miles. The road runs alongside so is a good drive with a few villages and towns along the way. Hythe, Appledore, Rye and Tenterden are just a few throughout the route. Good for motorcycles too.
Factory MGB GT V8. Any good? my pal drives mine for the first time.

The London to Brighton vintage car run. Nice old cars but terrible weather!
Переглядів 7582 роки тому
Torrential rain kept the crowds away today, but the vintage cars kept on plodding past us at a steady rate. I dodged the heavy showers to grab a few clips and have added a bit music to try and make the best out of a pretty lousy day!

Lots of interesting machinery and architecture on my walk of the Historic Dockyard at Chatham.

Chatham Dockyard has been a part of the Royal Navy for 500 years and has some very interesting artifacts. Was great to have a quick walk around the grounds looking at the buildings and old air raid shelters. I was based here for a year when I was in RN, so great to reminisce.

      problem is they are all now 10-15 years old. and are heading towards 100000 miles plus so are needing tlc so expect expensive bills. doesnt matter the variant. ive owned my gt200 13 years so i know whats been done to it. a lot out there had cheap repairs so not always a good buy

    What a nice piece! I don't recall if this model was ever sent over to the USA. I don't recall ever seeing one. That exhaust note is delicious! The newer stuff just doesn't do much for me. Too many plastics with watered down character and driving experience (not all, but most).

    What a gorgeous car. I thought I saw a V8 badge when I watched your GT750 video. That's a real "sleeper" right there. What size engine? I have a 4.2 V8 in my Jaguar S-Type ....around a 260 cubic inch. I always threatened to install a Mazda rotary in my old Spitfire.....never did but should have.

  • @ellisrochlin2267
    @ellisrochlin2267 Рік тому

    The r is limited production flagship lump , but for every day the 200hp in a decent colour manual box will suffice and of course become rarer each year , chance of values rising will be semi guaranteed by the mileage , history and condition . The anchor that sets rcz up for being a classic is that love it or hate it roofline running down and onto the bulbous rear end to rear bumper , as i dont beleive they will ever introduce a petrol head new rcz version in the future , ( maybe a ev style sports job maybe ?) If you want a better drivers car than the rare R you should look at the high performance audi tt components wise, stronger and has better dynamics. just sayin

    No mistaking that sound. In the 1970's my uncle had one of those. I had the GT550 at the same time (Yes, I was in high school). Never forget that sound. What a beautiful sample of a classic. Thanks for posting.

    I’ve owned two and both were lovely and trouble free perhaps I was lucky. But I enjoyed both cars. One was a White Diesel “ Magnetic “ only 175 ever built, The other was a standard one in a lovely Blue I think it was Dolphin Blue ! Not sure ….

    Did spannering back then at Sanders & Lewis in Kilburn. We had a copy of the Nico Bakker frame and called it our SL200. My form of transport was the triple 550. You don’t need to have a guilty conscience concerning Greta! I personally believe she’d be honored to see more of these bikes on the road cos her initials are on every one of them!!!

  • @RedHotscot
    @RedHotscot Рік тому

    Two of my favourite means of transport, a V8 MGB and the Kettle. I had a ratty old MGB GT in the late 90's that was scrapped, and my first bike in the early 70's was a second hand, knackered, Suzuki 200. My dream was the Kettle and I missed buying a mates abused one around 2005. I bought a Bandit 1200 to compensate, but it never did. Nothing comes close to the Suzuki/Kawasaki 2 stroke triple howl.

  • @ingopinkowski1091
    @ingopinkowski1091 Рік тому

    The problem with all carburetor-based bikes is the petrol left in the carburetor. After a long-standing time, it evaporates. The leftover block the jets and you have to take the carburetor apart to clean it. It would be better to run the engine until it stalls, so the carburetors are empty before you store the bike.

    • @ingopinkowski1091
      @ingopinkowski1091 Рік тому

      And don't forget to empty the tank, and rust prove it, slightly oil the inside.

  • @michaeldobson8859
    @michaeldobson8859 Рік тому

    You shouldn’t let it sit there and idle like that after sitting a long time. Revving it a little helps to lubricate the engine. You should check to make sure each cylinder is puffing a little blue smoke of course to ensure the oil feed line is not clogged or air bubbles in the lines.

  • @michaeldobson8859
    @michaeldobson8859 Рік тому

    Hahahaha. CV Carbs do not draw gas from the tank with vacuum. The CV stands for constant vacuum but it refers to the Air operated vacuum slide in the carb rather than mechanical actuation of the slide in the carburetors.
