Thanks again for the help - best tyres in Chester www.chester-ty...
Hope you like the video! A real head scratcher at times, but ultimately a great outcome for being sat so long and I loved every minute of doing it. The part two is also out now and I'm currently scuffing my knuckles on the next Scimitar video ❤️
It wants to be Left ! Right ? @Tasty Classics. Lol
No foot start button ?
Land Rover Series one lense you need i think for that rear light ..
Oooo get it restored , worth it just for those suicide doors 😁
If you go on you tube and out in panard banger racing...
I used to PDI Scimitars many years ago ..they are great drivers cars we sold them through Ford agencies..Nice car s but the smell of fibreglass gel ...lingers,!
You fancy swiping for a 57 prefect
I worked and restored a few of those. I don't know about export models but since yours is a Z16, I can tell you it doesn't have a Z16 upholstery but from a one year only PL17 L1 (the only year the PL17 had suicide doors, your spare engine is probably from the same car that donnated it's upholstery).
Those "towers" next to the spark plugs are the torsion bars for the valve (yes torsion bars).
I don't know if you know that already but the crank is mounted on ball bearings and the connecting rod are needle bearing. If you have some slack when moving the fan back and forth by hand : you're in for a crankshaft rebuilt, you cannot do that at home (because of the needle bearings that are not publicly available and assembly process of the crank/con rod themselves) and it is extremely expensive.
No sheetmetal is available for those cars, don't even bother buying the couple of sh!t parts that exists : make your own. Inside the rockers are the actual frame rails, I'm 100% confident that your car needs at least the 5 bottom centimeter of those frame rail replaced, it's always so when the rockers are rusted out.
Good luck, I hope it's not an investment because they are cheap to buy in good condition at least for the left hand drive can't tell for the RHD because you simply never see them. If it was me I would buy a LHD one to restore the RHD.
Some great info thank you, I think it'll be worth getting it on the ramp and seeing what it's like and how viable it would be to get it back on the road, maybe keep it's condition as it is just a bit cleaner and less big holes! Just need a gear linkage cable and a brake master and the clutch needs freeing and it'll be a lot easier to move it around
I was fascinated by the Panhard when I was a kid - according to the 1959 Observers book of automobiles that was rarely out of my hand in 59 (I was 10) the Panhard had a top speed of 90 mph. Seemed amazing from a twin! Not sure if that was actually right of course and you rarely saw them in the flesh as, again if I remember right, they were very expensive for what they were. But it’s great to see one again. I’d love to see it back in it’s 1950s glory. Keep it up Ben!
Thanks Chris sounds like a book I need haha! I might not part ways with this one just yet we'll see
I have the same edition. The Dyna Z 16 is on page 200. Apparently they made a convertible too.
PS: The bit missing at the front under the bonnet lip is the 3rd (centre) headlight. My mum had a 1962 (I think) PL17. Ran great with its suicide doors and drop down back seat back giving access to the boot. The only problem was finding someone to service it properly.
I had the same book,and looked at it religiously ,ld like to race my Lloyd Alexander TS against it.
Check out Jay Leno's garage, he has one and there is a video of bim driving it. He was impressed with the performance.
@@vumba1331thanks for the tip on Jay's Panhard!! A little bit different from this one!! But, cool. None the less!! Thanks again!!
I don't know what's more incredible, the fact you got it running, or how healthy it actually sounds once it got running.
I'm just as surprised as you!
These french very HQ mchines never die like a 2CV
I live in the US and I have only ever seen one Citroen 2CV (as far as I can remember). I did however own a 1987 Renault Alliance L with a 1.7L SOHC 4 cylinder with an automatic that ran PERFECT, but it could not pass emissions testing no matter what I did to correct it. (Same as an MOT, but less strict). I drove that car for eight or nine months all over my area and I only ever got one ticket for not having windshield stickers for emissions and inspection (screw you Pennsylvania BS!). I got that thing up to 120 MPH on a few occasions with no problem and I only paid $150 for it!
Wow !, what a journey !. A crazy, typically French, little car. Amazing that you got it running after standing for so long. Never seen one of these before. Interested to see it after a wash. Nice one Ben.
Thanks Kevin! Maybe another episode on this one I'm not sure I can part ways with it so soon
ive one thing to say on this video..........................THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THEY USED TO.......... i take my hat off to you......bloody well done
Haha you're absolutely right! Thanks mate
Cracking job squire, didn't think it would live without major work but there we go!
You and me both thanks mate!
I saw them on the road in France as a kid 70 years ago and they seemed so far ahead of anything else on the road. Loved 'em!
How awesome! great video, such entertainment, you had me smiling & laughing & fully engaged, great stuff 👍
Superb that's all I can ask for thank you!
Was nearly late for work this morning because I stayed up late to watch both videos. Can’t believe you actually got it going let alone drive it around the block……brilliant!
These cars were technological cutting edge back in the 1960s!
Amazing .we'll done mate.interested to see what becomes of it.
Thanks Craig, I might have to do another episode and we'll take a view!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, well done!
You're a man of incredible patience.
Wow!! A 'Tesla' from the past!! Panhard was way ahead of others!? That's what my grandfather told me!! We was in love with this machines!! This is even rarest, because of the right hand drive!!
Another gem from the bearded buccaneer get me a bucket full of what your on best channel on UA-cam 😂
Haha superb thanks Stephen very much appreciated!
Really interesting to see you revive this amazing car, looking forward to more!
Thank you!
Wild little car ya got there. I have a feeling you are not going to fit very well though😅Believe it or not there is one of these cars over here in a Maryland junkyard. Too bad it's so expensive to ship or I'd send it too ya for parts. Is it OK to put a link to your channel on my other page? We need to get ya you a bunch of subscribers my friend
Great video Ben, who would have thought it would run so well?! I’m glad Rob was there to witness it’s first start. Good to have a mate to share in your excitement. Talking to a camera just isn’t the same.
MUG, not you, but a merch idea. Who wouldn’t want a cuppa from a “Tasty Classics” mug?
Right, I’m off to watch Part 2 now. Thank you for the hard work.
Great idea, i'm on it!
2 hrs well spent watching this 👍 Would love to see some welding, brakes - even an MOT to see how good/bad it is - and an industrial hoovering out. Lovely car ❤ Hope there are more videos on this one to come 💪
I think we'll do another video of taking a view on what it would take, I can't let it go just yet
I’m 67 years old. Our next. Door neighbor. Was war. Bride. From. London. England. Love. The. Accent. Thanks
Thank Arthur, I have two middle names, one is Arthur!
Well this is a hell of a lot more interesting then all the American ones rewiring and starting v8s
Always on the look out for the unusual! Makes it more fun for me to do too, thanks mate!
Wow, what a great job and great find. It looks like a fun car for all your local show circuit. I hope it will give you as much pleasure restoring, as it should give must of us watching.
I saw one on the road about 18 months ago. Gobsmacked as it was the first I had seen in 50 years. Good luck. Previous one was a Tigre, a sports saloon with more bhp, bug eye headlights, and the tail lights were mounted horizontally not vertically. Some unfortunate American serviceman had bought it. It was grey. Yours has Michelin X tyres, stop tread pattern. Lethal in the wet, used to break away and aquaplane. That number plate makes it late 58 through 59. My first car had a 4 numeral EV plate.
The interior design is wild. Cool car.
Can't believe I'm sat here with a big grin on my face because the indicators work :)
I honestly couldn't believe it 😅
Nice that you could get the engine running. Keep up the good work 👍
Really enjoyed this one good work
Thanks Darren!
Very interesting video, thanks Ben 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍❤️
I binge watched and it was well worth it!
Only ocasionally do you come across a channel that ticks lots of boxes ,consider me subscribed, cars ,passion and just the right amount of humour.look forward to watching many more episodes 😁👌
Perfect thanks Laura!
Yes i luv this shit it’s alive this car needs the luv now that sounds fantastic the only channel we’re I can sit and watch it for to hours keeping it real Nice one dude 🙂🚘🔧✌️
New Subscriber here, UA-cam May had finally suggested a Video I wanted to watch. Being I’ve not ever laid Eyes on such a Vehicle and reside on East Coast USA, South Central Pennsylvania more specifically, I am intrigued.
I plan on following the Journey and catching up on past experiences when I get Time to do so. Until then Keep it Safe Out There Sir
All new cars a hard to turn over because they are tight being new,all the best mate.
Wonderful
Thanks Andrew
Back in their day Panhards were considered fast cars for what they were. With their wind tunnel developed aerodynamics, and their high reeving short stroke engines, they were good for almost 90mph.
About 10 years ago I went to buy a motorcycle...the owner had about 5 of these he said they were his retirement projects ...I rember things like the valve springs being leaf springs ...the wheels having tags on them to the drums ...3 years ago I went to a motor museum in Malta and they had just got one in ...I am fascinated by these rare cars
Brilliant, i'm really keen on keeping it alive!
great vid thanks, fun to watch!
The best "part 1" on the internet - fact! Just brilliant! To have me sat for 2 hours (in the middle of France no less - after a 7 hour 4th day on tour/hoon on my KTM) is testament enough. So when I miss my ferry tomorrow it's because I've binge watched part 2. Good effort! 😂 (P.s - I've got BBQ Lays here... A rare treat! 😂😂)
Haha excellent thanks very much for saying so! Sounds like a great time, salt and vinegar for me I think it was too :D
1:12:08 - British workmanship at its best. Use one arm to work with, the other to hold a mug of brew! - Geddin!!!
Great couple of videos. You can see it could be quite a pretty car if someone had a lot of time and patience
Great reg plate. I wonder if it's still registered to the car. Excellent video
Yes it is.
Thanks Sam's dad and yes it's a cool plate isn't it 😅👍
Amazing! Waiting to see how you deal with the crusty rockers😆
Not a bad looking car..it's a right hand drive. I seen a few on American junk yard walks. Never did know what they was.. thought it was a Renault . And now you know who invented the Panhard rod/bar.. 😮
Never seen one of these before but it is a very pretty car. Was so excited when it started to show life and eventually got running. Let’s hope the future is bright for this little car
It's absolutely gorgeous isn't it I love it
Complimenti per la bella scoperta grande auto😊
I hope you see part 2 for this cari
Enjoyed this well done mate
You have your hands full with this one,
You certainly love a challenge,
Good luck with this one, I hope It all goes very well.
Thanks Steven!
Thank you for the entertainment.
Seeing that little car start put a smile on my face, it wants to live.
I'm going to take another view on it next week... Maybe another episode before we decide if it's definitely getting moved on or not
@@tastyclassics I know it would take a fair bit of time and effort to restore this thing, but I'd love if you did listen to your heart and not your head on this one.
That's because it's possessed.
This cars were the fastest two-cylinders, up to 100mph. Some series were built with Aluminium Bodies.
Wow this looks rough looking forward to watching this video.
This panhard is really cool!
Great job 👏
I am new to this video, viewing from Australia. Great job.
Thanks Melodee I'm glad you're enjoying it!
It's crazy to think that the car was parked up two years before I was born. If it could talk, it would have a fantastic story to tell.
Horizontally opposed piston engine. With those old cars, they're quite simple, which means it will be easy to work on. How many wires could there be in it? For the lights, radio, ignition, and from the alternator or generator, dependingonwhatyearit was built in. There's additionally the wire that goes to the choke, with the exception of it being a mechanical style of that. This would mean that there'll be a knob inside the cabin attached to a small rod, which would go to the choke blades. This will allow more fuel to travel through the air inlet manifold.
not front wheel drive but I'm pretty sure they invented felching
Spat my tea out reading that 🤣🤣🤣
Great will follow you Trev. from New Zealand
Hi matey I’m Collin from Liverpool I do think it’s worth restoring I’d like to see the Morisminor restored all I can see it needs a new wooden frame
I watched this last year when you uploaded it just watched your fleet video so came back to watch this again at the time I thought you were off your tits I wouldn’t believe you’d drive it to a show at the end of the summer no wonder it’s number 2 🤣 it’s just incredible 😂😂
I'm one minute in and I'm hooked allready. This is gonna be a good one! :)
Thanks Alex!
Have a look in the boot you might just find the spark plug spanner or use a box spanner with the top cut off at an angle
Ny Dad had one of these in the late 60s. Six passengers cruising at 60mph. Till the gearbox gave up. Enen as an engineer I couldn't figure out how the gearbox was assembled. Everything seemed to come out of the clutch housing. It came loose but not apart.
with a spanner for the spark plug you need a vice and oxy cutting bottles heat up and bend the spanner to shape make a blank shape needed out of plastic and hot glue like a dogleg shape,had to make a few bodged together tools seen the dealers tool price looked at it and made my own ,some times very rare a better tool
Absolutely Karl cheers mate
English version of Vice Grip Garage and cracks me up.
I never fast forward that that was brilliant it was a good roller coaster well done😉
Excellent thank you! You've got to be in it for the long haul, one day the full 18 hours of footage will come out 🤣
100% store it and restore it, please!!
Its such a special car.
I'd love to see you do some big welding project on this thing.
It's got potential!
I’ve got a pile of rust for sale…
Sounds a bit like a 2cv 👍👍👍👍🛞🛞🛞🛞great content
It does thank you!
Just found your channel. 32 minutes in now. never seen a panhard car! very cool! i assume u have seen your twin in america? vicegrip garage =) spot on! love it =)
Haha Derek is the man! A cross continent Collab would be the dream 😅
@@tastyclassics haha yeah u 2 should absolutely be a good team =)
Just a fabulous car. Sounds so like a Citroen 2CV when running. Would have loved to have seen it restored. So different to the usual boring run of the mill stuff.
I'm going to take another view on it next week, I'd love to get it back on the road 😩
Just finished watching. Well done. Started thinking what a dog of a car, but how lovely is it. That engine sounds sweet. It needs to be rescued, or at least protected and parked for another 48 years. With it being so rare in would be ok to have a custom restore with different parts from other cars. If you drive one of these you are a one of kind type person. My cars are volvo 850 t5's and r's, so classic not really my thing, but really enjoy the vids.
Thanks Matthew, I absolutely love it there is a chance we might have another little video on it assessing it's viability
Sounds like BMW or ural motorcycle great job brother am subscribing
Love your videos that car was near me in stir newton
I love all of your videos matey the foor will be easy to replace I recon a 2cv engine wood fit that car evin a Volkswagen engine
Gotta love backwards England 17:30 and shops are shut for car parts, here in the Good Old U S of A they open at 07:00 and do not close until 21:00 7 days a week
Yes, the French did invent front engine front drive. In 1769. Nicholas Joseph Cugnot's "Fardier" steam carriage. The very first car.
Yes, have you lost your mind!!!!
Well this diehard didn’t want to die you did a incredible Job sir I have never seen one of these, but it is a typical French car and how sweet was that little engine imagine trying to get one our modern cars running in nearly 50 years time no chance 😂
Haha cheers Dave and yes fantastic point if there's a bit of moisture in your ECU it's goodnight! 😅
I remember this marque in Belgium in 1969.
It was the Citröen Traction Avant that first had a front wheel drive cars.
Saw one of these in a junkyard in upstate NY once about 40 years ago. I always thought it was the strangest looking car..............
Hi m8 thought i would give your utube vids a veiw , ive binge watched the lot , and I love it every bit ,I'm on the panhard wats next? Regards Martin
That had to be the wonkiest tabletop in the world!!
It was sound as a pound before I dropped the engine on it 😩😩😩
I have seen Panhards in the Mulhouse museum then in Germany and a Panhard and a Audi 63 cabriolet .
Brilliant video
Thanks Raymond!
J. Walter Christie of the United States patented a design for a front-wheel-drive car, the first prototype of which he built in 1904.
I would start with a complete disassembly of the car and give it a proper rebuild! ;-)
Other than a couple of rarities dragged out of swamps, lakes, and canyons, this is the worst-looking barn find I've ever seen - what an awesome project!
"Could drive around smelling his own farts" made me laugh
EV WAS A ESSEX REG
That in incredible that it still runs , very nice work ….
Amazing French has done some odd cars,,but they perform well,,I love the Citroen DS,,I did don't see a radiator,,or is it air cooled,,,are the hose for the vacuum brittle or still good,,I discovered you today,,new shoe,,I also follow Marty the Machinery rescuer
This guy is an endless source of hope and humor. I do love cars, but now I'm watching for the beauty of sheer perseverance. Thanks for sharing with the world!
Very very rare and scarce piece of automotive history for sure and a needs a very brave restoration definitely. Will take a lot to do it but would be worth a fortune afterwards. Might need club support or someone in the know to source anything missing parts wise. Not much is available for this unless you go to France or elsewhere to get things needed. It is a PL17 model but with early interior and engine maybe. Maybe last on the road in 1975 . Get a donor car and there’s half of your battle done for you.
Here in the US we would put a bridge and station motor in it 😅
That car is 100% possessed/haunted guaranteed.
Great stuff, and a lovely motor, pity the French always have a habit of putting stuff in the way of things you need to get to. In the 80s a friend of mine asked me to give his peugeot 305 est. a tune-up, opening the bonnet and seeing the spare wheel there was just a mild indication of worse things to come.😂
Probably. The. Second. Panhard. I’ve. Seen. On. Video. Ugly. But. Nice. At. Same time. Thanks
That is nothing... In Finland one showroom car restoration began from swamp when its half, empty, rusty body shell was digged up.
