I had a left hand drive 71 for 10 years. I didn’t feel old when I married or got a mortgage or had kids. The day I sold my B and bought a minivan I felt old. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and my youth.

when is the next video coming?

are these widetrack wishbones bespoke ones? i would love to see some more suspension footage..

996 GT3 RS was actually the seond rarest of the RS lineage after the 4.0

Fantastic to be able to follow the build of the ultimate Elise variant!

Can’t wait to watch this series! Oddly enough I also have a French blue lotus Elan S3 and planning on buying the same Elise S1 in the titanium grey next week from Stefan 😂😂

Powder coat for wishbones,worst idea ever,just ask a tvr owner

Great topic. Looking forward for next episode.

Great video looking forward to seeing how the series unfolds. As a 22-year owner of a Sport 160 I can definitely vouch for the genuine smiles per gallon Series One Elise's can deliver :)

Spotted your vid on lotus page on Facebook 👋🏻 subbed for more, great video ❤❤

The donor car isn’t grey! It’s ‘storm titanium’ - it also looks too good to strip completely and spend 100k on so I’m interested in why?

Honestly wish that lotus would have made a bigger push in America. The Elise is such a wonderful car all around. A pure drivers car.

Lovely to see the Elise go from strength to strength 👍🏼

2.7 RS for me. And a great video too - intelligent and excellent choice of experts giving their many years of experience with these cars too - Josh is the RS legend!

Beautiful video. I love seeing an MGB being driven around like this, as I don't see them much in the States. I hope to own one myself someday.

I too believe the McLaren 12C and 675LT will be fruitful in the future, especially the 675LT….

My first MGB was a GT which I bought after selling my first ever car which was an MGA. The GT (1966) was finished in a Ford colour, Blue Mink which was what the previous owner ( the Duke of Westminster ) had it painted to match their Rolls Royce. It was a great car to drive and travelled to Cornwall and the lake district with me and my girlfriend who is now my wife. I sadly sold that car to enable us to get a mortgage and our first house along with a clapped out Mk 2 Ford Cortina ironically painted Blue Mink! I’ve owned numerous cars since but am now looking to buy a roadster to fettle with (hopefully not too much rust involved) !

Hi there! Im currently loking to get my first car, and Ive had my eye on a 1968 MG MGB...do you recommend it as a first car, or would you say to look other models? Thanks for a great video

Those classic 🐍 charmer flute tunes...

Congrats for the nice video. Loved it

just wanna say fantastic production quality. new fan

It's interesting to hear mr. Stephenson would prefer it to look like 675 LT from the get go! I have huge respect for him for sharing his knowledge and being involved in designing a number of cars I admire. I remember being fascinated with MP4-12C when it first came out and sort of struggling with its design. It is very restrained and I thought it could have a bit more flair. But I couldn't point out one thing wrong with it. I finally saw the car in the flesh at the British Motor Museum this year and I kept turning around after I examined it to look at it a bit more. This is when I started to seriously appreciate it. It's a cohesive, VERY well thought-out package. All he lines make sense. It's reduced to a point of being minimalist and I guess that's why people yearned for more but it's also why it matures very well. I seriously appreciate it now and would love to own one. I know it wasn't suposed to look like an F1 but it's the closest to it design-wise out of the whole line-up.

I got a '67. Shoot me an offer. I have had it since '77. I'm about done with it.

Thank you

Wonderful analysis, thank you. It could only have been made better, selfishly for me, had you included the 80s RS - the 3.2 Club Sport.

Thing about the MGB , it's the sweet spot between the midgets , lotuses etc and the really big engine stuff like e types Cobras etc. Yet......... A good one can hold its own with modern traffic and with overdrive cruise comfortably. Factor in the fact that parts are so cheap and readily available , it is the perfect car.

This video makes me long for the days when we had roads like this in America. I suppose there are still some out west but here in Maryland.... all but gone. Sure miss my 73 "B"... or is it being 21... maybe both. I used to say driving my MGB was the most fun you could have with your cloths on. That and sailing...there were many days when I did both.

I needed this video, I am a student still and the midget what the first car i ever got mine is full of rust but still a great thing to drive

Brilliant video and fantastically done car.

Great video. Full of information. Thanks 🙏🏿

Watched this again. Still great. Instead of wasting all that money,time,& material on a Tesla, Make these, (1968 MGB) just as it came back in 1968. Guaranteed they would sell all they could make if the price is right. Note: You're only here on this planet for a very short time so make the best of it. Enjoy & take care of what you have. The feeling that uplifts your soul doesn't come from a prescription bottle or illicit street drugs. MGBs ect. are therapeutic to me anyway & when you praise Jesus of Nazareth while driving your B, it's perfect.

did you buy this car from northern ireland ?

Very interesting- thank you. Have been a fan of Frank Stephenson for awhile and always value his opinion. A couple of Alfas I think will be modern classics are the 4C and the Giulia Quadrifoglio- the latter having an epic engine.

12C is a insane bargain for what you get but I believe the F1 and P1 will be the main poster child’s. Speed tail and Senna are also special but think P1 will outshine those over time.

I had the same 68 in burg but with steel wheels.stebro exhaust. I put new rocker panels on it a replaced the solenoid 2xs since I forgot to shield it when I drained the radiator. It was a great car . Very reliable. Had it for 5 years in high school and college. Great for moving back and forth to college from NY to pa. Was a wonderful experience despite what others say….. 😅

12c a classic I wouldn't bet on it but a crack of a deal in the V8 TT segment, absolutely...

What a great video, thank you!

There nothing but an unreliable poorly manufactured ball of scrap . Typical garbage McLaren

I bought a 2014 12C Spider almost new and now only 2k miles. It sits in a humidity controlled garage. It’s rarely been wet. It always draws a smiling crowd for its wonderful curves and lines. Drives perfectly and is lightening fast. It’s a classic now, not 5 or 10 or 20 years time. Nick.

I would imagine a Datsun Fair Lady would provide a similar experience. A car need not be powerful to be fun.

Owning a classic car is never a sensible decision. It's an emotional one that modern car owners will never understand.

Thank you so much for a great mclaren clip - got so much great information about this car that I didnt know before. Need to dive deep into the other clips.

Great video, beautiful car in the best colour, I currently have r/b roadster, which i bought back after 15 years, i also had a 1970 mgb gt at the same time. They were great fun. Owning the car this time round, it needs some TLC, I'm looking forward to getting back to its former glory with some tweaks😊.

The next car you should feature in your modern classic series is the 1991 Acura NSX. I have one that sits next to my 2012 McLaren MP4-12C Spyder in volcano red. Steve

Nicely done and narrated vid, thanks! I'm in the US and also had a hankerin' for one since my teens and finally beginning looking now that I'm in my 5th decade of life. I don't know which year to get but if there's a "most reliable" year, I'll look at that.

My 68 did not have headrests?

That's a beautiful MG ! I love the BRG. I had a 1974 MGB GT (pre rubber bumper) And I loved it ! Great fun to drive and tinker with! Living in Iowa at the time as a hard top with a decent heater I could drive it year round..That was in 1987 and I was 30 at the time. My Father (bless his heart) always told me how impractical it was. But as much as I loved dear old Dad he was boring ! So practicality did not enter into it at all ! It was good fun ! I miss that MG more than any other car I ever owned. It only cost me $2200 ! Best 2200 I ever spent !

Excellent video. I love my 12c

Beautiful car. I had a similar one and loved it. More power? I later bought one already converted to the Buick 215 ci (Rover 3.5L) aluminum V-8. I bought it with the conversion already completed but my understanding is... The aluminum V-8 is lighter than the original iron 4, no suspension upgrades required, and as a Rover engine it pretty much bolts right up to the trans. Didn't overdo the power but made it a much more satisfying drive in my opinion. Is it true Brits like warm beer because Lucas refrigerators? Don't know, but my MG's were very reliable!))
