August Workshop Updates - big move around of cars in the garage
Welcome back to AT - we are back to HQ 2.0 and busy moving lots of things about to try and make space for the Bentley Turbo R in the garage (yes, I believe it will fit... just!). But first we have no end of things to sort out!
Join us for another monthly garage update as we finally get some jobs off the to do list.
Massive thanks once again to Dr Nuff who is smashing out the complicated mechanical jobs with (for) me!

Our Bentley is Back! The Turbo R ReTurns from hibernation

The Bentley Turbo R is back! After a long time in storage, and some hefty storage bills we decided to bring the car home and try to get it into the HQ 2.0 garage! But wow it has been expensive! BUT, it is back up and running and I can't thank both Karim at Pennant Classics and latterly Duane and Kyle at Starmans Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialists in Nottingham.

    I also own in my small collection of modern classic cars. A Silver Spirit mark IV last of line 1996, quite rare with only 144 produced with the standard wheelbase. They really are wonderful vehicles, but very problematic Due to the modern electronics they contain, especially when sitting in your garage for too long un used.....

    👍 I was waiting for you to get back to your Bentley Turbo R..Although i know there is certainly no practical reason to buy or own one of these old-school Bentleys. I always wanted one one . But instead ended up buying a non - Turbo Bentley Brooklands instead. Although at time of purchase in near perfect condition. Have still had to spend lots of money 💵 on it. But remember life is short, why not try and enjoy it !. Great video thanks....😊

    • @automotivetales
      @automotivetales 6 днів тому

      The Brooklands or even the Mulsanne or ‘8’ make for good drivable options. The turbo is more complicated and expensive to maintain and it’s very rare I get to make any use of the power as it’s just a bit much for most modern driving (but nice to know it’s here). It’s why I like driving the slower twin SU Silver Spirit just as much, as it’s slow but makes you feel like slow is the only way to travel and is effortlessly slow so to speak 😂

    In 1974/75 my mum owned one of these, it was also a series 2, but I can't remember exactly how old it was at the time. I was 17 and thought it was an incredibly cool car, only 903cc, but it had such a rorty (rear engined) exhaust note. On weekend evenings, when my mum and dad were out, I would illegally (no license) sneak it out of our garage and drive it - not very far, around the local village, desperately trying to manage the spring loaded gear lever. Although it was a relatively new car at the time, it was already succumbing to rust - behind the front light bezels and in the spare wheel well. The offset pedal position - splayed to the left and their close proximity to each other, made it challenging to drive for a gangly youth with size 11's. Sadly we didn't keep it for long and by the time I'd passed my test at 18, my mum had traded it in with the Huddersfield Fiat dealer for a brand new 127 (series 1 - looked like a hatchback, but just had a boot lid at that time - in that '70s orange colour) I still look at 850 sports advertised, although I'd need to move my Alfa gtv on first.

    • @automotivetales

      What a small world - we have had a new model Fiat 124 from the Fiat dealer in Huddersfield as that's where I grew up! The 850 is such a great little car but I can confirm the pedals are hard work work, even with normal size feet!! ha!

Chris never had an issue getting spares in the UK - there are a number of US car specialists who keep stock of common parts like filters etc. with the engine being a common Ford unit it did appear in some UK spec cars too (I believe the crazy MG ZT 350 was based on the 4.6, and the Mustang was available with this engine RHD). The Crown Vic specifically is a really easy car to work on too so any willing mechanic would be able to look after one! Lots of space to get at things too which is nice! 😃

    I had a fiat 850 in my 20s it was so much fun to drive, never hard to roll start at 650kgs weight (as the generator was often broken and i had to charge the battery at home)....always felt like a racing car even tho it was not that fast, really went around corner so well. Never got stuck in the mud off road as it was so light weight. Electrics would often fail so you really just had to accept that. I replaced the radiator custom made. A real joy to own the Fiat 850 really wish i had kept it but i was just too poor at the time to keep fixing her. But I'm soon looking for a retirement project so perhaps another fiat 850?

    Great video very helpfull indeed, also appreciate the thouroughness of the install. I will install an MPE tomorrow on my 340i Touring, hence im here. Two additions to your video: to stop the rattle on the std. back box you just have to change out the spring clip, they loose tention over time which causes the rattle I've had the same on my previous car 435i it's well documented on these they do not only rattle when they are broken, vut also when tentionnis not enough. If you want to cut your exhaust its easier using a chain tubing cutter (pliers) insread of an agle grinder, as that will be always exactly straight without rough edges.

      No, you’re not seeing things! It’s already up and running (more info in the next village). It was a lot easier to get running that I expected but it has broken down on the new keeper a number of times!

    Are you sure you had 2.0 version ? 2.0 version does not have space in boot in right corner because there is a battery. But you have there Toyota bag, time 1:24 and even on left side there is a ski boot. At 5:19 trunk is definitelly not 2.0. I gues you had 1,8 version. ua-cam.com/video/1v2S3xLypJg/v-deo.html at 15:37 this is trunk of 2.0

      It's 1.8, In 2.0 there is no "B" position too.

      The Bentley is still awaiting the brakes to be sorted and the Rolls... well, I just need space in the garage to bring it back from storage! They are such huge cars is causing a few logistical issues! ha There will be videos over summer, but first... Le Mans!

    Amazing, that is really a long time but totally worth its the sound of firing up that M20b25 is so familiar. Your car is definitely a Motronic, like all M20B25

      That’s the one - Motronic! How’s the engine swap going on the e12? Found my old 1602 m10 rocker cover while moving workshop! Makes an amazing piece of wall art 😃

    John, this is brilliant, what a beautifully restored car and fitting tribute to the your farther. I'm sure the old man will be looking down on you with pride......and certainly more pride than mine as I blew my inheritance on a long gone Alfa 147 Diesel, Jesus wept!

      Thanks Craig! It's been an emotional rollercoaster but actually brought it home today so its now tucked away on my 4 poster and its almost as clean underneath too!! Alfa 147 is a cool little car... I might be bias but its no BMW e30! haha
