The point is to bring attention to the brand, and buyers into the showroom, not necessarily for the halo car itself, but for the next best thing, it’s standard automotive line up.

    Roger was the only thing I liked about Chasing Classic Cars. Their loss. Roger is absolutely correct about Crossle's, I race a 1978 32f. To misquote R&T's Peter Egan, it is the nicest handling race car ever built.

    Pretty car. Owned a 1953 XK120 FHC MC for 15+ years, (a 96 point car by the way) However.. Use only Once ! brakes (Fatal Fade) And abysmal handling as there was Nothing other than the leaf springs, to locate/stabilize the rear axle So it Moved.. a Lot. A far better car to look at than to drive.. absolutely true.

    I was lucky to own and daily drive a 1953 XK120M FHC when I was a teenager in Los Angeles in the 1950s. It was an incredibly agile car and moved up and down the gears with heel-and-toe shifting seamlessly. I remember memorizing the timing of the signal lights in the San Fernando Valley and routinely driving from one end of the Valley to the other without ever stopping. This required quickly attaining speeds in some cases that may not have always stayed within the posted speed limits. On the high-desert roads outside of Los Angeles the car reached 120 mph and seemed capable of going on forever. A factory set of twin exhausts on the modified FHC produced a throaty, soul-stirring roar that has always remained in my ears.

  • @BruceBoschek
    @BruceBoschek Před rokem

    My first automobile when I was 18 years old in 1959 was a white 1952 XK120 FHC with disc wheels. The gearbox was loud and a bit tricky to shift, the handling at low speeds was like a truck, the brakes were not up to the top speed of the car, but I loved that machine! I would go on to own an XK120 DHC, MGs, Alfas, Volvos, BMWs and Mercedes Benz cars.That first Jag convinced me that I was not going to be happy in a country of Chevrolets, Fords and Chryslers, so I moved to Europe in 1965 and never looked back. That Jag changed the course of my life and I will always be grateful for it.

    He's got decades of knowledge, can work on some really obscure stuff and as a bonus, they can keep him there just for the PR value talking to old farts about old cars. It's the perfect retirement job.

    Hiya. Many thanks. Just for your information. Malvern is pronounced MOLLvern as in Gangster’s Moll. Not MALLvern as in Shopping Mall…. Unless you Guys in the US call it a MOLL??? ha ha. No big deal either way. Loved your vid by the way. Does anyone in the US buy or use Moggy 3 wheelers ? Or is it just us Brits who are a bit “tapped” in the head ( that’s mad by the way)…. I’ve got a 616bhp Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio by the way. But guess what I went out to play with in the snow last week here in Bewdley ???… must admit it was a bit chilly but. Proper good fun. Regards.
