  • I used to have a car restoration company and I have three projects that had to be completed this is the first of them I found it too hard to do UA-cam videos of Restorations plus restoring vehicles which often take 1200 to 1800 hours and quite often up to $100,000 this is a 1964 Humber scepter British built from the roots group it was the up market version for bankers and lawyers and such these were brought out to New Zealand for the royal dignitaries support people to drive around in 1960s for the royal visits

    Beautiful restoration. I've been watching My Mechanics restore a 1973 Datsun 240Z (my dad owned a body shop and his brother was a mechanic so what wasn't interesting then is kind of nostalgic now since both have passed). My college roommate's boyfriend had a 'Z' from about this era. Those were good times.

    Good for you! We have such little time on this Earth to do things that bring us personal joy. Regardless of your time away from UA-cam, this was a beauty to behold. And I for one am glad to have seen it.

    Hi Richard, good to see you back.
    I remember the Humber's from the 60's - Sceptre and Super Snipe, together with other members of the Rootes Group range. Hopefully some more restorations coming out soon. Look after yourself.

    Congrats on the subscribers. As for the car, l'm just a moron when it comes to knowing the make model and year but l do LOVE seeing them restored. It is most definitely a labor of love for thoes with the know how to do it. Labors of love are what are the things that make life interesting.😊

      Me neither. His last video was a month ago with the milkshake machine, and he’s been averaging a video a month for awhile.
