Before there was Mini-Vans with WOKE soccer moms there were STATION WAGONS driven by Mom’s with curlers and bandannas wearing tavern jackets and stretch pants who played league pool and shuffle board and these wagons could be seen parked outside of taverns …….Boy how times have changed

Interesting and lovely choice of music! I had a brief acquaintance with a similar one in the 60's!

This is ACTUALLY a 1981 registered Austin Maxi... It Was registered brand new on Thursday 10th December 1981 ...It was just "Deadstock" as the very last Austin Maxi rolled down the production line on the 8th of July 1981 ... My uncle bought one brand new in November 1981 as huge discounts were being offered at Austin/Rover dealers to shift deadstock. My uncle haggled the dealer down to £3595 for the car in 1981 on the road price (About the same as £13,250 in 2023) We used to nickname the car... "The Slug"... He kept the car right up until 1996 when corrosion finally got the better of the car and it went to car heaven ... If only he had Ziebart protected the car from new... It still could have been with us today. Edit.... I suppose 15 Years is a long life for these cars... Most Austin Maxi's died long before they got to the age of 15 years old.

Muy lindo auto

Nice burgundy coated Chrysler Newport. One night I came home from work in the 1980's & saw an identical car,same make,model & year except is was white parked on our block. It also had the burgundy interior. I lived w/ my parents & I was thinking ,I wish that was our xar. I went to bed & found out the next morning that it was ours ! My dad bought the evening before while I was at work ! My mother dubbed it " The Queen Mary".....

Great video of a great car, shame about the loud music

I don't remember an 1800cc engine in mk4, 2 litre v4 is the one I know of

Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to put this together, I have owned this wagon for 9 years now and still love it!👍

Beautiful. But the dual colour scheme requires some odd new lines.

Did my apprenticeship on them

My dad had one of these, back in the 1960s. It was a black 1956 Sapphire 346, registration XPJ 3. I don't recall it having an automatic badge on the boot, but it was automatic, as opposed to the optional pre-selector version. We were a big family, and MPVs were still a couple of decades away. The car didn't originally have seat belts, and never actually needed them, by law, but dad fitted static three-point belts to the front seat i.e. the left and right ends of the bench seat. My two elder sisters, my brother and the older of my two younger sisters sat 4-abreast in the back seat. I sat on the centre armrest of the front seat and my mum had my youngest sister on her lap. It's just the way things were back then. We lived in a village just north of Bristol and travelled like this to holidays in Weymouth in Dorset, and occasionally up to Melton Mowbray in Northamptonshire to visit relatives. There were no motorways back then, so the journeys were not short. The car was a bit unreliable at times too. I remember the electrics getting wet in torrential rain as we passed Temple Cloud on the A37 south of Bristol. Dad could get quite frustrated and I remember him pressing the starter button on the dash so hard that the whole panel would flex. Eventually, dad got rid of it and, as we'd moved into Bristol itself, we all used public transport and dad rented a car when we went on holiday. After such a grand car, when he did finally buy another family car, it was a Ford Corsair 2000E, with Ford's awful V4 engine in it.

I've ALWAYS LOVED THESE Vanden Plas 4 litre R's & 3 litre cars they are FANTASTIC examples of when our car industry produced the best cars in the world.

🙂My car... and it still looks the same

Even when I was a kid in'49, these were rare.

Lovely too see these brilliant cars in such good condition. And so well looked after.

Those front wings remind me of Buicks of the time,but the Victor also looks a lot like a Chevy Bel Air....beautiful car!😍😍

I bought a bright red ‘64 Cresta in ‘72, lovely big cruiser. In the 80’s I bought a bright red ‘80 Granada MK2 2.0GL. Similar size and shape. Loved them both 🥰

I may be wrong but I’m sure this belonged to a gentleman who ran a fish and chip shop in Wigan in the 70’s his name was Mahoney.

I wanna own all of the Rootes Hillman / Chrysler / Talbot / Humber / Sunbeam Hunter Cars and Dodge Commer Space Vans

I ❤Adore Hillman Rootes / Chrysler Talbot Humber Cars / Singer Sunbeam Hunters in all the Hunter Shape Design Cars / Both My Parents owned Dark Blue Hillman Hunter Cars 2 Blue Hunter DL & 1 Green Hunter DL in Grasshopper Green Etc.

HOPE TO BUY ONE SOON ELEGANCE LOST

50 mpg on highway....who needs electric car

MANUAL?

Nice looking Mini but Cooper S ? I thought they had twin su,s 🤔

There is a bit of Mustang styling in it, and I like the MK 1 more than the MK2; Ford South Africa offered a Mustang 5L V8, or a 6,6L V8 for towing, as options via Perana, also the Capri 5L V8. Ford decided to make the Sierra XR8 5L V8 themselves, selling 250 x 2, the first lot was sold out before they hit the streets!

I drove a duck egg blue Zephyr V6 2.5 LTR REG HOT215 E. GREAT CAR but you had to watch out when cornering at speed,the back end would swing out(I think thus was due to the short rear end) Bench seat Column gear stick huge bonnet,stacks of room for a courting couple. Overall one of my favourite all time cars along with Citroën Ami8 and the Mk1 Fiesta,modern cars are safe but boring and no character compared with cars from the sixties and seventies.

The Ford Zephyr/Zodiac MK IV was built from 1966 until 1972, it never had a 1800cc engine. The basic Ford Zephyr MK IV as shown in the video came with a 1996cc V4 engine, and had a column change manual transmission with a bench seat in the front. The next model up, was the Ford Zephyr Deluxe, as seen in Auf Wiedersehen Pet, this came with a 2500cc V6 engine, and was available as a column change manual or a column change automatic, it had a different front grille. Then there was the Ford Zodiac, which came with the 3000cc V6 Ford Essex engine, this upmarket model was also available with independent front seats and a floor change T Shift automatic. It also had a different front grille with Twin headlights, and the rear lights had a reflective strip that ran fully between the light clusters. Then there was the top of the range, which was the Ford Executive, which was like the Zodiac with Leather seats. For me this is the nicest looking car ever produced in Europe. The styling was very American.

I helped build these at British LEYLAND AT Cowley Oxford

The hopes and aspirations of BMC to produce a car that was the best in the world when in fact it wasnt even the best in the street it was parked in . An attempt to rival the big Humbers and Rovers but all it was was a rebooted Westminster with a stodgy cumbersome interior . The Humber Imperial would slaughter this car for all the Rolls Royce engines it had . The rostyles are not suited to the car as only the original steels and hubcaps were suitable . I found the Wolsely and Austin A110 quite a nice car but the overstated styling on the VDP was clumsy and a little ostentatious for my liking .

Things of the past - sò simple, practical and sò pretty !

As a teenager, I drove myself and 12 friends to a football game. Today, I'm trying to explain how we did it. Two were in the trunk coming home but not going. Amazing car, once upon a time.
