    Great video...just a small point on the XJ12 segment, some of the pictures used actually show the Daimler model. Jags had a plain edge radiator, whereas the Daimler had the "fluted" top to their radiators. In many ways they were essentially the same car, although the Daimlers were seen as the more luxurious vehicle.

    The sad truth is no company handbuilding a small number of high quality custom cars can remain in business for long. No matter the car quality, auto companies can only make profit on mass sales.

    First up is the Bristol 412, a fancy British car from the 1970s. It was made by a company that used to build airplanes! The 412 had a unique roof you could take off and store in the trunk. Only 98 were ever made, so spotting one today is super rare.
    Next, we've got the Ginetta G21. This little sports car was built by a small British company in the early 1970s. It was designed to be fun to drive but also practical enough for everyday use. Ginetta only made about 80 of these, so they're pretty hard to find now.
    The Panther J72 is another cool British car from the 1970s. It looked like an old-fashioned 1930s sports car but had modern engines under the hood. Each one was built by hand, making them extra special.
    Moving on to France, we have the Panhard PL 17. This car was super light and aerodynamic, which made it really fuel-efficient. It even won a big rally race in 1961! Sadly, the company that made it went out of business not long after.
    From America, there's the Ford LTD LX. This was a family car with a muscle car heart. Ford only made about 3,260 of them in 1984 and 1985, so they're pretty uncommon today.
    The TVR Tasmin is another British sports car that's often forgotten. It had a wedge-shaped design that was really futuristic for its time. TVR was a small company, so they didn't make too many of these.
    Let's not forget the Triumph Acclaim. This was actually based on a Honda design, which was pretty unusual for a British car back then. It was reliable and popular, but not many have survived to today.
    We'll also check out the Toyota 2000GT, Japan's first supercar. Only 337 were ever made, and they're worth millions now! It even starred in a James Bond movie.
    Finally, there's the Jaguar XJ12, a luxury car with a massive 12-cylinder engine. It was super fast for its size but used a ton of gas. That, plus its high price, means not many were sold.
    Aside from the cars listed in the description, the other ones are the Marcos Mantis and Bond Equipe.

    • @darthwiizius
      @darthwiizius 5 місяців тому

      Depends which era, they went right into the 2000s. The MK1s are pretty rare because they mostly got scrapped due to fuel costs, most of the V12s averaged 6-8 miles to the gallon at the time. I remember my old metalwork teacher at school bought a pristine low mileage one in 1982 for £50, that's all people could get for them. Lesser ones ended up in the crushers, breakers yards didn't even bother pulling them apart most of the time.

    • @darthwiizius
      @darthwiizius 5 місяців тому

      The MK2 had the most expensive body shell of any production car at the time, it was curve detail loaded. When Ford bought Jaguar they immediately abandoned the design because they could find no way of mechanically mass producing the body panels which until then were still being mostly hand made and took a lot of fettling and panel beating to get fitted to a reasonable standard. Thus you then got the squared off XJs, they followed the rough dimensions, they still looked sleek but alas no longer beautiful. Later iterations were a little more rounded off and featured aluminium body shells until in the end even the V12s were pretty much abandoned and replaced with V8s. Ford on one hand saved the company but on the other hand tarnished the brand, and their biggest mistake? Flogging it off literally just weeks before sales of Jags exploded around the World.

    5.0 L 165 ponies - a powerful Ford sedan... The ltd lx sounds like it was forgotten for very good reasons. Both design and performance was dated even at the time it launched. Ford had a 3.0L in the Capri it made 165 ponies as well. It wasn't very sought after. The smaller displacement motors could relatively easy be tuned to 165 bhp - saving weight. The 3 litre version was a highway cruiser motor - a heavy lump of metal. A 5 litre engine not doing any better - just adding weight - that's stretching the words. Big displacement and torque - yes. Performance - no. Within the Ford family you had better - the Capri was even based on the Fox body design as well... Why add the displacement and weight only losing performance? I would call the motor equally outdated to the design. The Fox body is a rebadged Ford Capri - sold in the US when it became to old for the European market. If they had looked to South Africa and the Capri Perena V8 - they would have gotten performance. The ltd lx isn't important - it's a good example of cheap skating - counting on the customers not knowing they've got a 1960's based design - just like Chicken Tax pickups - making buyers pay a premium price for something where the general design, safety and efficiency complys with the standards at the time of the Chicken Tax - which is 1964. Except for the footprint of the pickups increase as well as the weight. The dimensions of the general pick up is close to that of a Sherman Tank. In Europe cars are picking up weight even the smallest fart can has a lot of built in safety and creature comforts - heated seats, electrical windows and mirrors - not to mention AC. It all ads to the weight - cars becoming EV's just ads even more weight. It's starting to counter the fuel efficiency. Being more and more like real estate on wheels with the comforts of home. EV's being less taxed simply means it's possible to be getting a bigger and more luxurious vehicle than they otherwise would have bought - detracting from the original of getting more economical and efficient vehicles - efforts are on the way changing the taxes to counter it. The smaller EV cars are so cheap many families are buying extra cars just because they're nice to have. In trying to regulate traffic and pollution - the side effect was getting 40% more vehicles on the road from 2015 to 2022... EVs became popular making the roads even more crowded. In the cities parking is close to impossible - increase the numbers of cars while restricting where you can drive and park. The infrastructure is at the breaking point. EVs were regarded as the holy grail - they're becoming a burden. The other infrastructure needed to support EVs is getting better but by no means enough for the demand. It's also forcing an expansion of the electrical grid - the grid was never meant to support that many EVs. The situation is different from country to country - some countries experience stagnation or even a decline in the sales of EVs - the infrastructure can't keep up with the EVs. In some countries many are going back to ICE - An EV could prove to be impractical. Infrastructure is key - the lack of development in infrastructure prevents EVs from being practical and where you try to keep up... the numbers took even the most optimistic by surprise... The infrastructure is around a decade behind the numbers of EVs...
