Postwar Morgans seem to me to be the motoring equivalent of a mock Tudor house - a sort of recuctive "ye olde England" idea of a traditional sports car which mostly appeals to Americans.

Thanks very much for making this video. It would be good to get a comparison with the Sunbeam Talbot convertible, which appears to be bigger than the Alpine.

My father blew an engine up in a Sunbeam Alpine, just after I was born. It was a rusty one even in 1963, so it was not repaired. He even admitted that he was racing a blonde woman in another cabriolet (forgot the make, sorry). The beautiful woman stopped, reversed, laughed at my father's smoking wrecked engine, waved an drove off. So the assertion that these were very strong engines, I don't share that opinion. My father was a car mechanic so I think he would have checked his oil regularly.

$60,000

how much????

gee hope you enjoyed your ride. I just wish I could have seen the CAR not the useless ride. I had a 56 "A" Always wanted a Morgan.

I own a 1962 MGA Mark II I love driving it.

Hi Mike! Great ride up Butter Road!!! I'm sorry I missed you!

Ese cambio no va bien.

I don’t know how much but you can’t buy anything better of this

Don’t be concerned about the noisy first and reverse gears, that was normal as they were straight cut gears non sin-cro

Always loved these. And BMW doesn’t make anything close to this beautiful these days.

Magnificent!

LETS SEE THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR !!!

how much?

I drove one like that but with a diesel engine 190 D , it floats and it's nice to drive😅

i have a 72 spitfire that runs and drives and i do drive it in close to similar condition as this car, i also have a hard top for it but that needs some work, id be interested to know how much this goes for

Thank you sir

So many things to comment on. 1) The model is a Normale. It falls between a Legere, the smaller model, and the Familiale, the bigger model. 2) To the viewer unfamiliar with the car, the "shifter" is not positioned as is simply for the sake of it. The gear box is directly behind the grill. 90 years ago when the car first appeared the problem was how to operate the gears with the technology available at the time. The solution was a series of levers and cranks. Properly set up the "shifter" works perfectly. 3) Seating material and door cars are of course not original and incorrect for the model. 3a) The 11D engine will have produced approximately 65 BHP. 4) As pointed out elsewhere, the tube that we see in the rear compartment (trunk) is what passed for a heater. It works in a manner of speaking and is best when the weather is chilly and or damp. 5) The most important points that the vendor has failed to grasp are are: a) It was the world's first example of unitary construction (monocoque) in a production car - hence no chassis. b) Traction Avant means "pulling from the front" this too was a first for a production car. In short, every modern car that is of unitary construction that has an engine in the front can trace its lineage back to La Traction.

nice jeep! but some extra details: late model regulator, willys hood, willys bumper, willys footrests, late model dipstick as i can see ;)

I'd get a kick out of watching todays kids trying to figure out what "double clutching" is.😅

Interesting. Showing the car entirely from the interior of the cockpit. No exterior shots. Looks like it might be maroon in color.

I had a 1952 TD and I will tell you from my experience they are not worth a shit they got a little four-cylinder engine not much better than a model A only a little man can drive one all of the petals are extremely close an average man with shoes does not have enough room to break and use the clutch you could say it is a clutch fuck. They do look very beautiful they are classy car made for a little British roads back in the 40s but they are a joke in America. They are only garage queens when taken to a car show they become trailer queens. You who are you telling about your TD I will tell you you are full of shit.

Amazing. Is this going to BaT?

Im currently working on a 2002 from 73 and its a sweet car it's better than any newer car more smiles per mile any day

Where is the water pump?

Very nice Austin

You know, I bought a '64 new and a '66 new, loved both of them. Now at almost 80 years of age, I don't think I'd be happy with a simple 4 speed. I am now addicted to MX-5's and on my 5th, it's a six speed and I love it.

I wanted an MGTC, but they are just to expensive, so I bought a cherry mint Honda Shadow Spirit motorcycle instead for 1/20th the price and got my spoked wheel fix on. A lot faster and more reliable than an MG for sure. Believe me, it's got way more chrome on it than I want to polish... Young people just can not afford to blow $40K on an old hard to find car with hard to find parts that runs and sounds and shifts like a tractor.

What? No walk around?

how much this car today?

To try and enhance the driving experience for the viewer, ware a head mounted camera. You will give the viewer the experience from the all important "behind the wheel enjoyment" as you are doing, driving the car and explaining it's caricature. I know your hair is important to you but please think of the viewer. You'll get more people liking your videos.

Would like to comment on this Javelin AMX. It appears to be a non Go Pac AMX. The base AMX came with either the the 304 two barrel or the base 2 barrel 360 engine. It does have the E 60 15 in. rims on 3 sides, the passenger rear looks to have a Chrysler rim mounted in place. The inside adjustable drivers door mirror would come with the visibility group option, but could be ordered alone. The center console could be ordered with the automatic. All in all, a bare bones AMX, but rare as only 3,220 AMX's were built in 1972. Of that just1,830 were built with the 2 or 4 barrel 360 engine. A some what rare AMC car that one doesn't see hardly at all in the shape this one is. AMC built many 360 engines, shouldn't be hard to get running or to find parts for it.

Did you go into second before first when you started?

I'd much instead drive that now 70 year old Olds than a brand new electric car.

My 1st car was that model in tu-tone grey. Strong drive train.

My mother had one of these in the late 70s and I remember my sister and I both sitting in the front seat taking turns with the toggle switch turn signal. ❤ would love to get one one day in her honor. She loved her sports cars. After this car, she got into the 280 Z and the 300 Z Unfortunately, I lost her in 2015 she was only 65 #FuckCancer

Price??

Not on Michael's Motor Car Website???

No Photos Of Exterior??? HOPELESS!!! 😢

you screwball what does it look like dummy

Great looking MGB

Dennis Dean, of Denco chambers, President of the Ramblin' Rockets Racing team ran a '54 88 in NHRA's K/S in 1965 and was a member of the Fremont 101 club. Yep. It ran over 101 MPH and it was certified legal.

Dude, you never show the outside of the car ............. dah.

I was born in 57, and my dad had one of these (1954), 2-tone green and yellow. We lived in CA. I still have a small thing that looks like a license plate, which would go onto the keychain with the car's license plate numbers on it. FHK579, that was dad's plate. Don't know what ever happened to the car, as we had a family tragedy. There are more 55s than 54s out there. Thanks for sharing.

Price ??

I wish he would report what the speed is when he reaches 4th.

Mine was a Bugeye
