Racing an ERA

Driven by Tom at the VSCC Silverstone Spring Start. Built by Anthony J. Merrick who previously prepared and raced R1A until its then owner sold the car. Being without a car the resourceful Merrick shuffled his stock of genuine ERA parts and came up with AJM1. The 1980s brand new 1930s car is said to be an 80% original ERA B-type car using a 1.5litre engine and then a light green early works col...

Переглядів 185Рік тому
The Jaguar E-Type is a classic British sports car that unquestionably defined the era. With the sleek lines and undeniable power of the 5.3 V12; it is a car that turns heads and demands attention. The car we offer is an early OTS example of the S3 stamped with the Chassis number S1 1045. Along with the new V12 soundtrack, the S3 featured factory-uprated brakes and power steering, S1 1045 is an ...

Blue and yellow were the racing colours of Siam.
Loved these cars since seeing my first at Crystal Palace in 1938 . "Blue and Yellow" it was Prince Bira's whom I saw then in a dual with Arther Dobson. It is Romulus or Remus .
2:40 😮😳
Oh what a day that must of been 😮
Can you stay on the revs while shifting?
not the ideal way to change, as you burn a gear band.
Nice video!
Such an historic car brand! Beautiful Video!
Great video.
I'm simply god smacked ❤ it
Yes. I. Know. How. Work. On. A. Pre selectour. And. Use. A. Free selectour. I. Assume. A. Wilson. Pre. Selectour
While since I've seen Steve Berry , as hyper as ever , mad as a ship's cat. Just the bloke to cast an eye of the superb Alvis. Agree as below, this video could of been longer. Great stuff.
If Berry is the presenter, he needs to interrupt the guest less.
Nice machine! Two quips, what are all the wholes in the windscreen chrome? And it would have been very interesting to see a vertical supercharger , if I heard that correctly.
There for mounting the windscreen wiper motor. You can see a photo of the supercharger on my website.
I sat in this car at Loton park only few minutes but it felt fast and the view
No music. You're learning! ERA's are few and far between, so if you wanted the next best thing and you had some cash, i guess you'd build this. ERA would be marginally quicker, slightly more power, but this doesn't fall too far short. Sounds the same, must be a straight six. Rather nice. Preselecting gearbox?
What a lovely lot!
That was excellent, and such a clear picture! I've been to Prescott once, and loved it. Easter greetings from Stockholm.
Thank you, for your kind words and Happy Easter to you also. You should come to Prescott again this year....
No music. Please.
We didn't have the ability to get the engine sound that day, but videos without music are something that were working on.
Good one Tom. You have nailed the camera stability.
That piece of junk belongs in a museum 😂
Great video proper machines
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Oh my.... Lovely! What a car, what a sound.
Every time I see a Hyper, I always remember Tom Delaney and his amazing record of racing at Brooklands in the early 1930s to well into the 21st Century...in the same car! (IIRC it's now in the Coventry Museum of Transport).
What an awesome car and what a delightful video - thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your positive comment, will keep them coming.
What a magnificent piece of machinery,.Who is the bloke in the tweed jacket? he get's in the way.
Our Steve Berry, he's a credit.....
what is the red car
It is a very rare Frazer Nash Targa Florio MkII. Well spotted.
He is driving the piss out of that car!
My uncle had a supercharged Le Mans Front-wheel Drive. He's passed on now but I hope his son still has it.
Nice one Tom. Let's hope it helps to sell the car. Chris
Me too, want to be enjoyed as intended.
Someone had fun with extreme audio panning. I feel dizzy.
Plenty of methanol racecars that start cold with no assistance. Or a little bit of petrol down carby throats or injection stacks. Once started they are fine for the meeting. I know someone running a 13-1 Chev as a 'daily driver' on methanol. None of this farting around with plugs etc.
Would like to see , maybe a day at a track and open it up . Great looking car !
This video was too short , what a beautiful car looks more special than a blower Bentley and should be driven every day, I know I would
Superb video, epic car.
Thank you, I agree with you on all counts…
Brilliant title
And then the driving video is full with wind noise and muffled exhaust noise... I have done better with a GoPro on a chinmount using the in-build microphone...
Thank you for your feedback, I will endeavour to improve it was our first go in this style. We were using a gopro on the car.
Create body panels and glass top, you've got an 1930's Batmobile 😮
"Driven" By Tom.... Cue 7 Minutes of NO DRIVING followed by 1 Minute of driving.... yaay.
I'm wondering, with my 'standard' Riley Special, that even if it does have VSCC papers, isn't it just cheating slightly to pretend rhis is a 1930 Alvis? Although, that might also be in the "ethos" of competition!
I had a customer, a really nice guy who had two Alvis and they were a beauty to be hold. TBH I had never heard of them at the time but you could tell even though I knew nothing about them that they were something very special.
is this for sale?
Yes it is, are you interested?
Thanks. Who do I contact for more info?

@@DRIVENByTom hey up mate what's the ball park figure to purchase such a beautiful car
@@johngibson3837 we’re at £150k.. cheaper than a blower Bentley as well.
wow. absolutely love that.
That is magnificent.
Wonderful video. Too bad about the plastic labels on the dash.
Thankya thankyaverymuch!😎
You’re welcome, move videos to follow I hope.
My gast has been flabbered
A sweet-sounding engine - and a fast gear change with a surprisingly short throw despite the long lever.. For a moment, I thought it still had the original preselector.
Its a serious car, and well balanced to drive.
WONDERFUL
I don't know anything about Alvis's, but that engine sure sounds like it has a gear driven supercharger.
They have tried gears, but 100% chain now.
Belt screeching
You are clearly unfamiliar around superchargers : suggest you attend a few vintage races/hillclimbs
Wow!
All gone now. Even Norton and Jaguar are owned by the Indians.
Pay backs a bitch.
