Honda Kei Class Car Collection
Daniel is one bloke I can assure you is not afraid of hard work - and when he sets his mind to something, he makes it happen. The number of vehicles in "the shed" and numerous other examples of Kei Class Honda's parked on his property demonstrate his commitment to preserving the marque, and having a collection that is truly unique! The cars we discuss in what turned out to be my longest ever car interview include...
1. 1972 Z360 Coupe (air cooled and made famous by the film Malcolm)
2. 1969 N600 Delux (air-cooled)
3. 1973 TN360 Truck (air cooled)
4. 1964 T500 Truck (air cooled)
5. 1970 LN360 Station Wagon (air cooled)
6. 1972 LN360 Panel Van (air cooled)
7. 1974 Z360 Hardtop Coupe (water cooled)
8. 1964 S600 Roadster Convertible (twin cam, quad carb, water cooled)
9. 1971 1300 Coupe9 (quad carb, air cooled)
In addition to his Honda collection Daniel also has a stunning Celica RA28 that is the sum of no less than eight separate "donor" cars . And like that car, the fully restored 1973 TN360 took seven vehicles to create the perfect example. While this car is undoubtedly the highlight of the collection given it's restored condition - there are some that will soon take the limelight once they have undergone a similar transformation. While Daniel hedges his bets on which car was his favourite, I came away with the feeling that he has a very soft spot for the 1964 air cooled T500 truck - globally very rare, and heading into the uber-rare category here in Australia.
What a collection. And like the infamous Demtel TV ad - "but wait, there's more!" - Daniel also has some old Landy's awaiting their turn to undergo restoration. Time and the elements got in the way of filming these, but I will be returning to interview Daniel about the Land Rovers as there are another two soon to join his collection. For now, though, I hope Honda Kei class car enthusiasts enjoy my walk around Daniel's garage and are not too upset by my total lack of knowledge when it comes to these historically significant little beasts.
The "Kei car" category was created by the Japanese government in 1949, and the regulations have been revised several times since. These regulations specify a maximum vehicle size, engine capacity, and power output, so that owners may enjoy both tax and insurance benefits. In most rural areas they are also exempted from the requirement to certify that adequate parking is available for the vehicle.

1977 Toyota Celica RA28
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 2 lety
I am always astounded by the lengths car enthusiasts go to to create their perfect set of wheels. This stunning 1977 Toyota Celica is the sum of no less than eight individual cars, all bought and sold with the best parts being used to create one perfect example. Cars sourced all over Australia - some running - some not - but then on-sold to help fund the project. From those eight cars we are le...

1937 Morris 25 HP Series III Sedan

This 1937 Morris 25 was converted to MIC 127 Inspection car in 1939 Motor inspection cars were introduced to the South Australian Railways by Commissioner Webb during the 1920s. They were used by managers to visit various country divisions. Paymasters used them as well, to deliver pay packets to construction and maintenance gangs working a long way from home base.

Holden EJ Premier - A Little Bit of Luxury, A Lot of Personality
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 3 lety
I am always amazed at the generosity of time owners of classic cars afford me when I approach them for an interview - and none more so than Dave with his wonderful Holden EJ Premier with "Myles" the caravan in tow. As someone who can only afford to admire, and not actually own these precious parts of our motoring history, I will be forever grateful that there are people like Dave who are so wil...
EK Holden - Australia's answer to the '57 Chev ?
zhlédnutí 12KPřed 3 lety
A chance discussion with one of my work colleagues led to the discovery that he not only owns, but regularly drives his prized EK Holden to work. Sensing an opportunity, I was fortunate that Stuart volunteered to bring his car to work and allow me not only to interview him, but to take a ride in the EK. This car really is a beauty, and is suprisingly comfortable to ride in too. When you are use...
Oldsmobile 98 Regency - Ready for Restoration

Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency - Part 1 (pre resto) When my mechanic Steve called to let me know he was helping a mate out with the restoration of a 1978 Olds 98 Regency, i jumped at the opportunity to take a look at the car prior to its refurbishment (both mechanical and cosmetic). The idea of this video is to show the car in its original state, however some cosmetic and mechanical work has b...

Wartburg 1000

Studebaker Lark with Mr Ed
zhlédnutí 266Před 3 lety
The Studebaker Lark ran from 1959 to 1966. From its introduction in early 1959 until 1962, the Lark was a product of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. In mid-1962, the company dropped "Packard" from its name and reverted to its pre-1954 name, the Studebaker Corporation. In this short ad, we find Wilbur and Mr. Ed discussing the new Lark, after the talking horse had taken one for a test drive....
1956 Buick with Jackie Gleason
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 3 lety
Running from 1955 thru 1956, the Honeymooners was a relatively short lived sitcom that, over time, became a comedy classic. Many people did not fully appreciate Gleason's comedic genius and the show slipped from #2 to #19 in the ratings, after only 39 episodes had been recorded. Sponsorship of television shows was extremely common back then, and so it was Buick that sponsored the Honeymooners. ...
1954 / 1955 Chevrolet New Model Launch

The Chev Bel Air received new, revamped styling for the 1955 model year. For 1955 Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option and the option of the 2 speed Powerglide automatic, or a standard three speed Synchro-Mesh manual transmission with optional overdrive. The new 265 cu in (4.3 Litre) V8 featured a modern, overhead valve high compression ratio, short stroke design that was so good that it remain...
1958 Volkswagen Beetle
zhlédnutí 116Před 3 lety
The 1958 Volkswagen Beetle Ad will have you believe it was only the rear window that was increased in size - but that is not quite correct. The front windscreen was increased by 17% thanks largely to slimmer pillars, while the rear was increased a whopping 45%. There was a flatter registration plate "pocket", shorter grooves for air-cooling of the engine compartment, a new air-cleaner, duct and...
Renault Dauphine
zhlédnutí 412Před 3 lety
Renault officially revealed the model's existence to the press through L’Auto Journal and L’Action Automobile et Touristique in November 1955, referring to it simply by its unofficial model designation "the 5CV". The Dauphine was, like its predecessor the 4CV, a unibody constructed vehicle. The Dauphine however, was a four door sedan with conventionally opening doors, unlike the "suicide" doors...
