Great video and thanks for not adding any goofy music to it

My mom had the same car when I was a kid only a 4 door

WOW!

In highschool, i drove my girlfriends dads Tasmine TVR to prom....The car was hot....but not as hot as the girlfriend

Great looking truck, is the color meadow green?

I worked on one of these when I was an auto mechanic. Parts were very hard to get. Not a super quality car nor a smooth running one and it rode rough

TVR, the same people that made the Griffith, a 289 Ford powered, fiberglass bodied, tubular framed "screamer" to the lucky few that could scrape $3995. together in the mid 1960's! I still have a few "Road and Track" magazines that I saved from that time period advertising the Griffith. They were considered the "poor man's Cobra", and just as fast! At twelve years old, it sure had this kid drooling! When I lived in Mansfield, CT in the early 1980's, there was a person who had two TVR's, both hardtops, parked outside on his front lawn on RT 44 very near the Coventry-Mansfield line about 20 feet from the road. They didn't move for almost two years, because of a lack of parts availability, I'm guessing. I drove by them almost every day in my '70 E-Type. I drove by a few years after I moved and they were gone. The Turner sports car for sale on RT 6 in Andover, CT. is another story. It had a hand made "for sale" sign and lasted less than a day on that person's front lawn after it was yanked out of long term storage and turned into a very short term lawn ornament! I mean, who wouldn't buy a Turner for $450.? Eastern Connecticut still had lots of "barn finds" for those that wanted to look for them, like the 1931 Harley Davidson VL I yanked out of a barn, stock, original and unrestored, around the same time period. Thanks for posting this video, you always bring back the best of memories!

The 450 seac was a monster! 400 or 420 would suffice though, a lot more power than the V6

Get a 350i instead of a TR8

One of your best video's Bud!

Was that at Nathan Hale?

0:05 0:10 0:12 0:56 1:21 1:23 1:44 oh Dude , it’s too embarrassing to watch. Oh man my heart is breaking right now for the guy. I’m glad he tried to see if he could stop it but it’s not that easy unless you’re able to do it, glad it was minimal damage and glad there wasn’t a car coming down the road because it could’ve been worse. I hope he got it fixed. I do understand for him that the car was perfect and never been wrecked but you can’t always think that. Oh it’s never gonna happen you have to be prepared for the inevitable.

Your narration style reminds me of the "Motorweek" show that reviews new cars. Not sure if that's what you are trying to emulate but the vocal delivery style is very similar.

Great cars

Was this the car that sold recently at a MECUM auction for $200,000 or is this another example in the same color?

I have a 1927 model t Dr coupe. I rebuilt the engine and it runs really good now. I have only driven around the yard a couple of times and want to take it on the road but I am afraid to get in traffic and have a wreck and mess it up. The traffic around here is going so fast someone may be texting on there phone and run over me. I had a 27 roadster like yours and sold it for 10k. So hold to your price if you have not sold it.

I noticed it was a tight fit height wise in the garage. I have a 23 Ford Touring car and only last year determined it fit in the garage with the top up. I was always afraid of wrecking it so I took the top down for the first 35 years I owned the car! I like the 26 runabout it is very nice in fact before I got mine I looked at one very much like this guys. He should keep it but if selling it the 8K offer isn't off base. They haven't appreciated that much over the years but they are a blast to drive. When you are learning though you want plenty of room in front of you because the controls are not like you are used to. The clutch engages first gear when depressed which is disconcerting if you know how to drive manuals. Also the throttle has to be manually returned to idle unlike an accelerator pedal.

Another ripper story, Bud. Very enjoyable.

Cool spiffy enough yet could pass for an old mans car.

Amazing nearly the same collection as my dad has... Lyon Blue 1940 FORD WOODIE, a 1941 3/4 ton Stake bed Ford Truck, and then a 1957 Chevy Wagon and my mom has a 1968 Cutlass Conv. My brother and I have LT1 and L82 Corvettes, a 1973 Camaro Z28 and a 1968 GTO.

It's not to bad of a car to have as long as you live in a small town and don't drive it far.

Great story and what a collection. Looking forward to the follow up on the Porshe.

I have 06665

Another wonderful video. Thank you!👍

My dad had one in tan with a black roof. I always loved the console. It brings back memories of little league baseball in 1973. Nice resto on yours!

I had a 74 260Z and a 78 280Z. They were imperfect (rust issues) but the design is classically beautiful. I think the 78 280Z 5 speed with electronic fuel injection might be the best of the breed.

My grandmother has 73 gran torino just a regular gran torino its not a sport but still a bad ass car sport or not but her car has sat for 24 year in her back yard well her birthday was on the 4 this year turned 54 and me and my grandfather surprised her on her birthday by making the car run after 24 years i felt like it was the best gift i could give her and ive been working on the car for 3 months now and im only 16 and im learning things not most people now about these old 70s cars but i feel like a 73 torino is bad ass and im doing something my grandmother would have never thought of an its to restore her car and its her second car she own as well and she loved it and after i found out it was a torino i wanted to restore it how it was and i fell into the car i liked it enough to save a family car and i was told id have it some day by her and thats fine with me im have lots of love for that car and i want to make sure its taken care of in the future so it could be passed down but i dont like seeing old cars rot away we need to save cars like these especially the torinos an hope that this nice man car gets put into the right hands god bless him

May I ask why the steps are cut short ?

When I was a kid my next door neighbor bought one of these new. I was crazy over the way it looked and the way it sounded. I have never loved a car like that since and I still get the same feeling every time I see one.

FUNNY, i loved my TR7. But, I always wanted the TR6. Found memories of my TR7 drop top!

67 Eldorado is the best looking cadlllac ever made.

To me one of the most beautiful Eldorados ever made. ❤

To think these Morgan beauties came into existence because of a British law classifying four wheel as a car and any less meaning three and lower a bike thank God for loop holes.

I just bought one inside of it is original 1951 geyser no rustVery clean original seats so happy I got a car

A real noise maker.

Beautiful color! My first car was a ‘68 Toronado which also had bucket seats and center console + horrendous gas mileage.

I am glad you have it. I bet it will be mostly reliable. 😊 love that wild dash, interior. Man, crazy hydraulic windows. Enjoy!
