    Back in 1968, I attended high school in Virginia. A good friend's dad purchased a used Lloyd Alexander for my friend to drive to school. Even though I considered myself a car guy, I had never heard of this brand. I drove that Lloyd Alexander several times and recall that it was quite roomy inside for a car this size. Most likely that Lloyd was sold new at the same Richmond, Virginia dealership that sold your LLoyd Alexander in 1957.

      There couldn’t have been many dealers. They are similar to a beetle or a mini they are bigger on the inside.

    I have seen a handful of these in much older junk yards and didn't know what they were. It was nice to actually see a Lloyd actually together and in working order. More videos would be nice in the future. I want to see what you had on the back of the truck in the scene when you were driving the Lloyd off of the lift for a test drive.

    My dad had a Lloyd mini van. I think it was a 59. The floor to the road was about 18 inches. I think it had the big engine.

    Thanks, Steve. I'm enjoying your step by step explanations as you attend to your repairs. As a Jaguar fan and owner I couldn't help but notice the one on your hoist ... an XK 150?

    The cool looking engine bay deserves a good clean n' paint n' polish.
    Also, I hope you will re-cover those front seats and restore the floor covering. I wish I was there, I'd happily do the interior for you.

    Love to see those old microcars running again. The more you drive them, the better they run. When you get it all sorted out (though it looks mighty good now) it'd be great to see it really put through its paces: speed, braking, hill climbing, load carrying, etc.

    Took you a minute to get the hang of that clutch Steve.😁 Would it be fair to say that it's got a slightly leaky exhaust?😁 Great old car; looking forward to learning more about it.

    • @ThisWeekWithCars
      @ThisWeekWithCars  4 роки тому +1

      It is a touchy clutch because it is no longer smooth because it sat for too long. Just like when you see rusty brake rotors on a car that say too long. It will get better the more it is driven.

    Does it really have a fuel pump...? even though fuel is gravity fed. The wheels and tyres look a bit over size, are they the correct factory spec? Nice little runabout, I would use it for our weekly run to the supermarket, in normal times that is.

      It just needs to driven. The clutch will clean up after it is driven a bit. Cars can’t sit around even in a climate controlled room.

    I was born in 1956 and saw this cute car quite often until they magically disappeared from tzhe roads by the mid 1960s. Llyod and the parent company Borgward ceased to exist in 1961 - a big loss, as the Borgwards were on par with Mercedes.

    Is the points old? Seems they packed up quickly. Might consider checking or replacing the plug wires. Cant remember if the car has a charging light or meter?

    • @ThisWeekWithCars
      @ThisWeekWithCars  4 роки тому +1

      Once points get corroded the loose the plating that protects them. Cleaning the points is a temporary solution once it get bad enough you have to clean them they won’t stay clean for long and you really need to replace them.
