Times were better then !
As if the talent is better now.

Britain: "Our spares are more readily available." Japan: "You won't need spares."
USA-We have a plentiful supply of very affordable parts for our cars in the junkyards, starting with extremely late model, low mileage vehicles.
@@indridcold8433 Yeah but none of them are interchangeable model year to model year because we got built IN obsolescence!
irony being that austin licensed the design of the A series engine to nissan. during their time that design they updated it 4 times. meanwhile at austin.. whats good enough for 1951 is good enough for the year 2000.
@@mrrolandlawrence Sochiro Honda once said, "every time the US implements new regulations GM hires 100 lawyers & Honda hires 100 engineers!"
Remember my dad telling me about a Japanese car manufacturer looking under the bonnet of a Triumph and saying: "Only the British could put that under a bonnet and call it a triumph."
"Do you come with the car?"
"Oh you. Ha ha ha ha."
LOL That Simpsons episode which one was it I got to see it again!!
@@nw8000 I think it was the Mr Plow episode. Season 3 I think.
🤣
@@gutz1981 Thank you dude
gutz1981 That was when the Simpsons was funny It's ran too long
I was probably here with my late father. He took us to these now and again. I fell in love with the JENSEN INTERCEPTOR! Awesome car!
ME TOO, LOVE MOPAR POWER.
Great name for a car too
And me.
Jensen interceptor 140 MPH Toyota corolla T Sport 140 MPH + can be brought up to 600bhp Shivers Rolls royce last longer than the beautiful girls who sit in them lol
Me too
For the man going places.... mostly to the repair shop.
Lol
Just what I was thinking!
At least the repair wasn't THOUSANDS of dollars like today.
Yes, and the remaining places to the men's toilets so as not to soil his pants after looking at the repair bills.
That Japanese gag would cause an international incident nowadays!
I thought the same thing. How stupid and feeble the world has become.
@Kirk Wolfe No one is really talking about an "international incident." The phrase was used figuratively, I am pretty sure. Many of us have seen worse and many of us realize the future can bring unforeseen disasters, but that has nothing to do with the comments above.
It's not even accurate. Japanese people have no problem pronouncing the letter "R", and never have. It's "L" that's more problematic.
@@Gynra I always thought the "R" and the "L" were sort of the same thing for Asians, in that neither really exists in their languages. But you are right, the gag was a little clumsy. However, I don't think the intention was to be accurate (pretty impossible for most Brits, anyway) but rather to be a little clever and a little funny. Turns out the guy is no Benny Hill. One certainly couldn't do it today, even if one were Benny Hill, because nothing can be funny anymore.
So cringey
All the Morris marina handbooks came with a free bus timetable!!
All Nissans with a CVT may also benefit their customers to include bus routes and a discount taxi coupon. Actually, all vehicles with a CVT except Subaru and Toyota Prius, could benefit their customers with a good local bus route and a taxi coupon for their customers.
I can only agree, the Nissan has its fair share of problems.
Good joke! We in Russia know two jokes about Land Rovers: if there is no oil under it, then it is over. If you saw a Land Rover on the road, then only one of two things: he is going to the car service or from it just now.
The marinas had a good heated rear window,,,,,, kept your hands warm while you were pushing it,,
67AlmazRus how very funny, and true! Lol, hey did you know why we have red, amber and green traffic lights?
Red is stop green is go. Amber is to take up all the slack in the transmission!
Our spares more readily available says it all :D
00CaldinaGTT Iwas in the working in the main dealer network in the seventies and the parts weren't more readily available because of endless industrial action. We had a Rover 3500 sitting in our workshop for twelve weeks waiting for front pads, hardly an obscure item because Unipart were on strike and BL would not let us fit aftermarket Lockheed pads because the car was still under warranty. Needless to say the customer closed his account soon after as he had bought a Granada.
What a selling line. It may break down more often but at least the spares are plentiful.
Now their spares are available providing you have their tools & equipment & can rent their 'manuals' daily & afford all these at their prices. £60 ish for their recommended oil ....? Buying their cars is only half the cost of ownership!
Or in the Stags case, "our engines are more readily available...."😉
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg Some of the older cars in Leno's collection have spare engine and drivetrain parts stowed under the hood and trunk so you could fix them on the fly.
The JENSEN INTERCEPTOR: Still my favorite car of all time!!! Greetings from Southern California, USA.
The Jensen Interceptor ate all the others for breakfast,lunch and dinner. Still the most awesome car ever built.

When cars came in colours.
All grey, black and white now...
@@harryday174 ...and generally termed by me as, "funereal" colours.
Colors don't sell well.
@@CarbageMan They don't sell well because they are not offered, a self fulfilling prophecy, and guess what, they used to sell well when they were offered - you can only buy what is offered. Some say the Model T Ford only came in black, and that's untrue, it always came in at least 4 other colours - a lot of myth out there about car colours.
@@martintaper7997 Actually, they are. Market research shows that shades of black, white and gray sell the best. I said it because I meant it. it isn't any "myth."
Now that's! one motor show I want to go to. Cars, Birds and proper BOOZE!
I had a toy Lotus Europa as a kid. I loved it to bits. I'm still no nearer to owning one.
Worlds fastest van !
Hah! I had a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado and a Trabant toy as a kid. Loved them both, and the Cadillac was motorized. I have no desire to own either. Well, maybe the Eldo...
I finally understand.
Auto makers: "We dont need quality in 1973 we have woman to sell cars".
They still do it today
I was there... It had a wonderful ambience that Birmingham never equalled. Earls Court WAS the motor show.
Really enjoyed the video , thanks. Lotus Europa was a timeless design .
Velly nice. Lovely cars and birds. The 70's were cool.
@ ..lol. I was a child of the 70's. Born in 1966. One remembers things through rose tinted spectacles I suppose. Yes, I am fully aware there were problems but still, life seemed less complicated back then.
@@doktoruzo just tell the miserable bastard to fuck off
Not so cool with all that polyester.

Imagine the uproar today if they had scantily clad women gyrating on the cars.

Wow, Motor Show and the Van der Valk theme tune, what’s not to like. I think this is the year I went with my father, my abiding memory of going is that it was absolutely packed with visitors and was very hard to get close to any of the cars.
If you listen carefully you can actually hear those Fiat's rusting.
Yea, really.

Princess Anne was quite a dish back in the day, if thats your thing. A true good egg and so much more interesting and deserving of praise than disco princess Diana ever was.
@Pollywog Oh no!
Where? Where?!!!
The Datsun was the most reliable car in the UK during damp weather and early morning starts.
we use to have a Datsun Bluebird estate, it had a very reliable engines, unfortunately the bodywork used to disolve and rust away. Datsun got such a bad reputation for poor bodywork that they had to change their name to Nissan.😊
@@deltafoxtrot2 Nissan was always the company name. Datsun was the brand name used outside Japan until about 1983.
1:29 - I had no idea that the VJ Valiant Charger was sold in England!
Graham Clayton - It wasn’t. The motor show featured lots of cars that were not sold here as ‘show pieces’. Although I suppose you could import one (at great cost).
Australian Chryslers WERE sold in the UK from the late 60s until the mid 70s. The Charger was one of the most popular models. UK cars were mostly big spec V8 auto. The top of the line CxC hardtop and sedan was also sold in the UK.
@@wagoneer11 You are totally wrong mate
@@myopinion138 Everything i have stated is a FACT. Just because you are ignorant of something does not make it wrong. Do a little research, google makes it really easy for people like you. Here is one to get started on www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/aussie-chry.html
They were sold here. I drove one when working in a Chrysler dealership in Scotland in the mid 70’s. It could go but steering the thing was another matter
It is nice seeing these cars all brand new.
British Leyland cars were out of date by the time they fell off the end of the production line.
The only mystery is how it lasted as long as it did!!
Not all of them.
Patriotism mostly. No BL car was ever a success outside the UK, other than perhaps a few Triumphs.
Some cars were dated but not all. Some had some real effort put into them, only to be let down by countless other factors.
@@R33Racer
Yes, build quality was often very bad, which was a great shame as cars like the XJ6, XJ12, Range Rover, SD1, Dolomite Sprint, Stag & Mini would have been much more successful.
IMO, BL tried to be be too forward thinking with what they offered instead of doing what Ford did and just sell pleasant-looking run-of-the-mill stuff.
Take, for instance, the Maxi. FWD, hydragas suspension, 5-speed box in a 5-door hatchback body.
Cortina had none of that but it looked better and went wrong less often (I think).
Many years ago I worked for a company that made gearbox parts for almost all the big car manufacturers with the exception of BL. When I asked why I was told "The government won't let them pay high enough wages to attract decent designers, so they have to buy cheap foreign gearboxes". And they were *crap*. The gear shift lever in BL cars felt like it was in a bowl of pudding so you couldn't tell which gear you were in by feel, or even if you were in gear !
I reckon the only designers left there were old guys closing in fast on retirement and who'd stopped caring. No wonder the cars were awful.
But those Cortinas were as rotten as an old pear after five years. Mind you, so was every other car made beck then.
Super cool, I can't see anyone looking down on the mobile phone, good old days.
A friend ours was a proprietor of a BL garage in Surrey in the 1970s. One day a woman brought in a Honda Accord & asked if they would check the fluids & tyres. Pretty novel: they'd never seen one before.
A mechanic opened the bonnet & soon all the other staff, our friend included, were gathered round to look at the layout. It was all precision, neat & tidy, like the mechanism of an expensive Swiss watch - beautiful to behold. Very different to the low quality & antiquated stuff they were to used working on.
He later switched to selling & servicing one of the Japanese brands - don't remember which.
Some of the later Rovers had Honda engines and gearboxes.
“ The space age Lamborghini, a £16,000 dream.“ -I know inflation and all, but still so weird to hear.
You could get £10k Uraccos this century!
Would be over 160k Eur today !
I was there as a 16 year old app motor mech ... it was all free . The dealership i worked at paid for everything . GREAT DAYS !
LOL, yeah, especially if they paid for the SAAB stripper and a lapdance! ....seriously, those were much better days in terms of motoring when cars look interesting, were not mobile computerized TV screens on wheels in an assortment of colors such as black, white, tan or silver. I was only two that year, but having grown up with a steady diet of Matchbox cars and enthusiast magazines, those were THE days.
@@manofthehour6856 five of us went to that VERY motor show and the models didn't care how they dressed ... I'll never 4get it ..
@@manofthehour6856 Well then get yourself one of those 1960's, 70's cars, they will go under the title "vintage" on your internet market place. They see how many times you will need to visit your local garage for tune ups and general servicing. Cortina, Allegro, Mini, Princess etc theres some of them.
@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 agreed but back then it was possible to fix a lot of stuff your self. It was a right of passage for young drivers. Now, even if you need to change a spark plug there's no guarantee that you would even be able to get at it.
Those days will never come back, the world was a better place
It's those imported 'forrin' cars I'm worried about.
That's the real irony- Their all foreign now.
"Leyland's dream of a petrol rationed car" looks like Peppa pigs car!
Correction at 1:25 of the video. The Valiant Charger from Australia only came in a 6 cylinder model, I believe. To my knowledge there was never a V8 version...
No the race and base ones were sixes. But V8 options of 318, 340 and 360 were offered at different times. Always automatic luxury models though.
That Countach LP400 was production chassis #2. It’s worth several million now.
Sure is 😊 Technically tube chassis No1 as the prototype was welded steel sheet construction. With its original interior. Was red with twin wipers. If you keep hunting the AP archives there is footage of the Lancia Zero and 1971 stratos prototype. Oh and the production Lp400. I will post links to them. Just great to see show footage. Compair the rear of No2 countach to a 1974 Lp400 the rear was changed for production.
Lol, that Saab girl was sure earning her pay! Cool video, different times for sure!
It’s so strange to see so many cars without head rests.
And thin steering wheels...
Once owned one of those Volvo 164 with straight 6 and twin carburator engine. It was like a battle tank on the road and you needed your own petrol station. But by that time, who cared about smal things like that when it was fun to drive and we all waited for that moon station who never was built. 😊
First time I saw a "Yensen" was in Dubai around 1973/4. It was on a road leading to the Zabeel Palace. Looked very impressive, elegant, GT type of a car.
Always wanted a 'Yensen'
I always read Jensen as a 'yensen', as it is obviously Danish/Norwegian surname.
@@blinski1 Made in West Bromwich.
440 cubic inches.....7.2 litres doesnt sound too tough to me
@@blinski1 You are correct, I know it was the most common Surname in Danmark when I used to go to there a lot in the 90's. Take care.
I have one :-)
If I had to pick a favourite year for cars, 72-73 would be about spot on; Britain had the Jensen Interceptor and XJ12, Triumph TR6, and the lovely Lotus Elan was still in production; in the USA the 240Z was impressing the locals, but they still had decent versions of the Pontiac Trans Am and Camaro; and in Aussie, the big Falcon GT coupes.
What about that 16 valve yellow Triumph Dolomite Sprint on display.
For everyday cars it was the beginning of the end. GM replaced the '68-72 generation A-bodies with the Colonnades and BL replaced the ADO16 1100/1300 with the Allegro, kicking off the Malaise Era in earnest on both sides of the Atlantic.
Girls and Cars... good times :-)
1:44 "Imported Foreign (spit spit) cars". Said with total disgust. Lol.
LOL, I wonder if the narrator had any commentary on the imported foreign girls? Probably not; he sounds too ancient for that kind of thing. Myself, Ms Skoda in the white bikini, and damn the cars!!!!
@@manofthehour6856 I doubt they were foreign.
Cracking birds Blakey.

Cracking birds. Wallace, is that you?
Terence The birds were only there on press day - no GB public allowed!
Get that bus aaart!
1:57 16,000 pounds converted to american currency was $20,978 in 1973 adjusted for inflation is around $120,000 in today's dollars. Smoking deal!
The pound was much stronger than that in 1973, 16k GBP then would be well over 200k USD today. That's on par with today's entry level Lamborghinis, like the Urus or Gallardo. Wish the news report included which "space age Lamborghini" we're looking at, makes all the difference! Some of them have only appreciated in value, others not so much.
“Fast enough for a princess”. I love it.
That is fantastic footage so un PC 🤭🤣the best thing we could come up with was spare parts for easy availability that's because our cars broke down and the best thing we could do was go on strike😪🤭👍
All those Buxom Pommy girls & you just know a thick thatch is sitting there...
Such heaven- i'll take a Redhead thanks!
sod looking at the cars, look at the women! real woman not all fake and plastic like today
HAHAHA!!! Yeah, I was gaga here over "Miss Skoda". Definitely sod Skoda and shag the model!!!
@Gerd Wiesler 'underfed'. I disagree.
Calling a car from this era "as good as anything in the world" didn't mean it wasn't junk.
"the girl that has arrived and will last forever, the car that is". Back when Benny Hill was on PBS, boobs and all.
My dad had a hillman hunter...
Fab video.
When all cars looked totally different.
And women ....well...women sold cars....and we did japanese voices...loved this flashback to my teens...
"Yensen"? Did he think it was Dutch?
1:13 They mention the Hillman Hunter which was coming towards the end of life, yet nothing of the Avenger which was a much more recent model. You can see one behind the Hunter.
Oh yes, I still enjoy driving a 1972 Hillman Avenger.
I passed my test driving a Hillman Avenger, back in 1982.
When I was looking at the girls at the beginning of I thought it was a contemporary motor show...
Oh how it went so so wrong, the amber warning light stopped working due to being made by BL

So odd that some of the cars look so timeless and others just look like junk.
@M I so want to hate on the super cars of the day, but they look fantastic! The Rover 2200 not so much...
Jenson Interceptor was my fav! £16k for a brand new Lambo!! I'll have a pair. 😁😎👍
Ahh.....I thought it was 16k lbs.
And what you don't take, I'll take the pair along with the rest of Miss Skoda.
@Pollywog which is about 80k short of what it's equivalent costs new today and that's the basic version. So it really was a bargain back then :)
@Pollywog I suppose it could be considered a bargain if someone paid 275K for one then decided that they didn't like florescent green with pink seats after all and sold it the next day for 194k.
Those Russian Ladas were VERY reliable, and some I knew drove them for 15 years without much more than oil, tires, brakes, etc...needing replacement.
😃😃😃 Bollocks. Why does a skoda have a heated rear window.??? To. Keep your hands warm when your pushing it.
@@stringer-ik1pc I didn't say Skoda, they were not good- LADA was much more robust...

British cars in 1970-s were garbage, barely welded together by always-striking workers. Literally anything was better. Russian cars were also cheaper.
I remember going. The Earls Court Stadium has gone now.
Er, there never was a stadium at Earls Court. Do you mean White City?
@@AtheistOrphan No, I do mean Earls Court Stadium. They held everything form Pop concerts, Ideal Home Exhibition Boat show and Sports Arena.Depending on the event they advertised it accordingly. If you Google Earls Court Stadium it does come up.
@@jeremytravis360 - Oh sorry I didn’t know you meant Earls Court Exhibition centre. Yes, been there several times myself. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard it referred to as a ‘stadium’ though, which of course it never was, nor can I find it referred to as such on the internet. Happy memories for me, I saw Genesis and Floyd there.
@@AtheistOrphan Yes thats what I meant. I also saw Pink Floyd back in 1973 I think, and The International Boat Show, and many other events It was Called Earls Court Exhibition Centre. They also had a sports event but not a big fan of Sport. I also went to a Genesis Concert but that was at Wembley.
1973:jaguar for a man going places
2020:not anymore...
Hoods are so long in cars probably a safety feature back then.
For me, a Yensen would be a good car...I drive a Yaguar and my wife has a VW Yetta.
DWL OMG
Velly nice work
nah u don`t, u re yust yelious.
No love for Yapanese cars?
Those models should be brought back this year!!!
I reckon they would be a bit wrinkly now mate...🤭🤣👍
The Merak was a Khamsin and the Yensen was a Jensen. Nowadays, people don't forgive mistakes so easily. We are a savage lot. Full of filthy language, politically correct and up our own arses. In those days sincerity was widespread. Innocence was acceptable.
The f word was a serious swear word back then; now it's just a form of punctuation. Robin Witting
Why did he pronounce it “Yensen”? WTF is wrong with him?
To my mind the Khamsin was fantastic and Maserati haven't come up with anything better since.
Princess Anne..Britain,s no. 1 driver...who wrote this drivel?
I burst out laughing at that remark.
LOL, if by this inferred logic that the Royals rank above everyone else in the UK, I wonder how the Queen would feel about this statement considering how she, last I knew continues to drive at age 93 and was a mechanic during World War II? Or maybe being the "Number 1 Driver" means that she drives a mobile urinal?
This remark stems from Princess Anne being caught at well over 100 mph on the M1 in her Reliant Scimitar as does the later comment on the Jensen Interceptor having a top speed of 140mph being fast enough for a Princess.
Pat Moss ?
@@keithwelton She also rode her Royal in the Olympic jumping events. I saw her in San Diego on the circuit just after it rained. Really slippery and she dominated her ride.

Ok, someone out there has to help me out. What is the name of the music in this video. It was also used in a TV ad in the 70s for the city of Amsterdam. I have been trying to find it for years and just tripped over this video.

@@johnd8892 Thanks sooooooooooo much. I love the internet! After all these years. Wow.
When cars all looked different and built to last.,unlike today
Agree cars had some personality then
..to last a year or two? It’s no wonder the British auto industry went down the tubes.
Good to know princess margaret was the safest woman driver in the entire known cosmos and beyond
Do you mean Princess Anne? (Who featured in the video).
Wow, if my wife would just open up a bit, I could use some of those hood ornaments. But, she says that a 76 y/o man doesn’t need them. Also, that men that old are like dogs chasing cars, and what would we do if we caught one. Phewwwwww, I think I need a nap, bye til later!
I know the feeling! 🤣
Depends on how powerful/rich the old man is. Famous politicians and billionaires have no problem getting their harem of young beautiful hood ornaments! Humans are not any different than animal kingdom.
2:20 I'm hearing the narrator call this car a "Shopping Cart." lol
This era really expresses the collapse of good management for British car companies.
Dad was a mechanic all his life and commented that the problem with British cars is the Engineering was so good there was no room for his caucasian hands to get into the engine area and do any repairs without dismantling the entire car. He retired just in time. Today ALL cars are like that.
All cars in Britain in the 70's were rust buckets but stylish rust buckets. It was part and parcel of owning a car then. There wouldn't the same amount of cars on the road today if they rotted like the good old days.
Hi Mark, I am restoring one of the "stylish Rust buckets", which in this case was MINT until the year 2000 when it got neglected for many years, and the rust took hold, (now a 100% rust free shell, built to a super high standard). you might find interesting to see?. if you like 1970's Fords, especially my resent find, that has sat hidden in a damp garage for 35 years, rusted in some areas perfect in others!!.
@@Cortinaman63 what car is it?
@@Elbowbanditest2003 The one being restored is a very rare version of the Ford Cortina Mk3 from 1974, and the one I found that had been sitting in a damp garage unused for 35 years, is another Mk3. Cortina from late 1975, and totally original, apart from some paintwork done around 1987., and has only rusted were rain water was dripping in on to it.(both cars are on my UA-cam Channel).if anyone is interested in looking at them.
@@Cortinaman63 is it a gxl a 2000e maybe?
@@Elbowbanditest2003 I plan to do the "exact model" reveal at the end of the restoration. But can say the car was built by Ford Motor Company as one of their (Promotional cars) and is the only surviving one out of two cars made with unique features, in 1974,
From a time when beautiful cars where the norm and not the exception.
Wow birds & cars sounds like a good day out did they have a bar 😆
Excellent
Love that yellow Renault 12 at 1:35.......
Thanks for reminding me why I hated the 1970's. My fathers car yard was full of this junk.
0:16 . . what a beautiful car
The lotus Europa ..."A mere 117MPH but smooth once you're in it" ...little did he know.
I love how they tried to Distract from the bad cars with attractive ladies writhing on the cars. The knew how to move some bad cars back then.
It's strange that the Lamborghini Countach is a car we now think of as synonymous with the 1980s and yet it must have been designed 10 years before the 80s began. I'd have that one one now for 16 grand!
Volvo looks nice and particularly nice interior. That Russian car, Moskvitch 412 (don't laugh) won the British Saloon Championship!
Actually I like the look of the Moskvitch 412.
Like all Russians involved in competition. It was either on steroids or cheated 😃😃😃😃😃😃

First time I have ever heard a Jensen called a Yensen. Is Yensen Button aware he has been mispronouncing his own name?
Jes.
Jackie Stewart. Still a treasure to humanity
I've never heard of the 'Yensen'. They look pretty similar to the Jensens though. I wonder if it was one of those 'foreign cars' I've been hearing about?
