My TOP 10 SLEEPERS of ALL TIME!

- Since there's no events taking place this month I've gone back through my archives once again and picked out my favourite sleepers that I've filmed over the years, this video is in no particular order but showcases my Top 10.
There's a varied mix including Stephen Xuereb's Mk2 Escort & Darren Scannell's Mk1 Escort that both look like they should belong in the Show & Shine paddock but smash out 9 second 1/4 miles with ease to Ian's completely stock looking 1964 Rover P4 powered by a Big Block Ford!
Disclaimer - This is my personal opinion and only features cars I've seen and filmed in person, I know there's 100s of epic sleepers out there especially in the States but I have never been to a drag strip there!

I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Alexzander Ellis instablaster ;)
@Kayden Aaron thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
They’re all fantastic machines but the Rover does it for me, You’d have to look bloody hard to see any change in appearance from a bog standard one...superb vid !
There a several Rover P4's running around on Her Majesty's Highways with the Rover V8 motor in them
I love the aerodynamics of the pony ute, Tailgate down🤘 very Aussie 🇦🇺 🇬🇧
And the way the P4 lifts up her skirt and trounced the Bentley was beautiful.
The way the old Rover P4 wasted the Bentley Conti' was epic!!😆😆
Gotta be the brown Sierra Estate for me - steel wheels, mudflaps, base spec lights and grill, grimey without being too ratty.... perfection!
I'm 20 seconds Into the vid, but I have to stop and say... sleepers are my favourite, hands down over everything 😊😊😊
That Boba Golf crossed onto the other track and back again and still did a 12 odd second quarter haha! That thing is insane, 8 odd second quarters in a MK2 Golf is mental!
I wince for that driveline, but it takes the punishment every time.
@@althejazzman it is crazy seeing just how quick it gets off the line. That Vampyr GTI was another mad creation too, there's some great clips of that out on public roads. Just imagine tearing down the autobahn in a Lambo or Ferrari and being overtaken by an old Golf!
@@davekennedy6315 I've seen lots of Boba's videos as he embarrasses everything on the autobahn.
@@althejazzman it is one hell of a car and surely the best sleeper of all time. It must be terrifying flooring the accelerator as it weaves off down the road at an insane rate! The driver must have balls of steel haha!
all those wins n boba was letting them get off the line first
Ians Rover for me everytime
5:52 The Rover vs a Bentley Continental might be the most British drag race ever. That Bentley looks pretty stock and still ran a 13.9, that's ridiculous considering it weighs about the same as a small container ship.
The rover can certainly shift and as you say what a race ( all classic British drag race ) ✌🏻
That golf is mental
Just when you think you've seen it all, then along comes that big block P4 Rover, what a great concept.
Boba 💪🏼
That yellow Mk1 Escort....what a sweet ride👍👍❤️
That Golf is batshit crazy!
The Rover is savage👍
The Rover by far, Austin Westminsters and the like had that engine conversion back in the 90's
12 second Rover was fun to watch.
40 odd years ago we had an Austin A90 travel over for the street drags. 12.2 being gentle on the standard diff off the line. 454LS7 Chev!
The visible twist in the bodyshells on these things is awesome/scary 😂😂😂
Absolutely love Micks Transit van. Imagine that pulling up beside you at the lights when in your best fast car and then saying something like.
Yer avin a friggin laf mate. Oh no, this IS seriously fast! And it was gone!
Well done done on these great cars, the old Rover looked almost stock, that WOULD give you a surprise! Another super video. Thanks for this.
The Rover P4 is a belter
The Rover hauls all the cool!
The Rover by far !!👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️it
Love the old rover!
My favorite came down to between the Auntie Rover and the Chevy Nova wagon. I've always wanted to build a wagon like that, then graphics on the sides "Shhh.... Don't tell mom!"
Man that Mk1 Escort hooks
What a beautiful car too
There were some amazing cars in there, I did like the Nova but escorts will always be my favourite car especially that MK 2
I like when the nova launches you hear the slurp as the throttle opens!
Yellow Mk 1 & orange Mk2 are beautiful, but that Golf is insane fast!!!
Rover P4 power! One of Britains fine cars....
I would never be late for work in that transit wow that's moving
It’s his daily driver too!
@@mk1kieran Is it mid engined like the Ford Supervan?
I love Santa Pod there’s even a convenient fan at the end of the track to blow the burnout smoke away...
What a brilliant video and those sleepers are something else and look so normal 💪
That guy in the golf must have the tightest sphincter muscles in the British Isles! Permanently puckering!
love the rover
Quality video as usual mate keep up the good work 👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you Kris 👊🏻
Great vid , that Rover for me then Transit. I love V8s to me that I'd drag racing
Yeah the Rover is my favourite out of the bunch but it was too hard for me to put them in a specific order so it’s all random 😅
Love this channel bud keep the good work up I always look forward to a notification from you 👍
Thank you 🙏🏻 😃
GREAT VIDEO !!! ... I love, Love, L😍❤E the Rover. I raced at Santa Pod in the 1980s
Love the Nova.
That rover though 😊
Thanks for sharing really enjoyed 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
That rover was great. My type of car.
Love it!
Love the VW Caddy and the Transit 🤩
Fast vans are always cool!
All fantastic cars. Love a sleeper. Highlights were the 1200bhp, Golf the Mk 2 Cortina and Chevy Nova estates and the Rover P4 tops the list.
the van made me laugh, the Rover made me envious and Boba's VW made think FUCK ME that is fast
My vote is on the transit, with that paintjob and all, its perfect
this just proves that there are great gear heads all over the world.
Boba mk 2 😂
Would love to see him race . Incredible
great stuff,,, last time i watched it was raining and they still raced,, not good. this is a good track and street cars running 12,s is great. from Australia
What the hell was in that Golf ? !! Outstanding 👍🙂
A 2.0L 16v with a turbo bigger then a head from a man😂
I love that transit, it looks amazing with those fat tyres tucked up in the rear arches!
Yeah it's got a great stance! Proper cool build
The only car that actually don't belong in this list was the chevy nova wagon
That sticks out like asked thumb 👍. But I would love to have any of the other cars or vans on this list
Loved this video 📸
i fkn love you dude
Go Rover, ya beast!
Great video , and your quite correct these cars are asleep 😴
I do love a sleeper, currently working on a 65' Plymouth Valliant wagon with a 413 wedge motor. Should be fast,
The golf WTF :o I saw the comments and I still was not expecting that take off.
Wish I'd had that mk1 escort in the 80s 😂
I like the auntie Rover that is as cool as van be👍💪👍
Right sleepers, my fav sleeper car has to be any older volvo, they look like bricks, you can almost swap any engine in it, lots of tuning capabilites and overall a nice brick (the videos u upload tbh cure my depression even though im late sometimes)
Glad I can help mate! Thanks for the comment 🙏🏻
That golf though! What a F*CKING handful!! ANIMAL!
my favourite is the transit though!! 😁😁
Boba is a legend! Always entertaining to watch 😄
He just needs to decide what lane he’s going to use🤣
Rover.. 🥰🥰
i like the yellow Ford Escort
Great channel Kieran, followed you quite a while here, am now doing so on twatter and Faceplant. Keep up the great work. Thank you
Thank you! I’m not active on Twitter but do post on FB and IG 😄
That rover gets funnier every time I see it. How many backwards cap boy racers has that humiliated ?
Too many! 😂
Love the Rover....I actually owned a Rover 80 same colour......it had the Landrover Benzine/petrol/gas engine......my intention was to swap it not for some monster engine but for the Landrover Diesel......but work overseas intevened.
4:33.
I want one!
I bet the yellow Escort was Kierans favourite here 👌🏻
Close, the Rover is my favourite out of this bunch that’s why it was chosen for the thumbnail 😅
@@mk1kieran you can't get anymore sleeper than that TBF 😜👍🏻 great video again mucka 👌🏻
Love the fact it still has the big standard bus sized steering wheel too! Thanks mate 👍🏻
Mk1 escort is nuts. Love to know axle and ratio and i bet its not a T5
In my day we had Steve green and (before the stripes) Ron kidell.
And there use to be a couple of brothers in the early 80's at the run way u brung,that ran a couple of 60's Austin's I think??
1 was black,quick as you like and he usually covered 1500 feet going up the 1/4 mile 😀
Well damn. 2 liter cossworth 9.70. Woo!
3:15 Is the black one a Trabant?
ROVER no 1
Rover 75 ( sloping boot) is a heavy car. I wonder how much is original....
there's something wrong with the tiny car with the 500 and some odd CID ford big block.... 12s are pretty slow for that car
slow kick off Rover but awesome
bloody hell what engine is in the mk1 escort?
Ford Cosworth YB 2.0 DOHC 4 Cylinder
Wow that.boba golf
That's also how the mk1 escort should have been tuned stock they would have been selling them today lol
BOBAS MK2 GOLF IS THE BEST EVER SLEEPER!!!!!
Best was a black 1982 Saab 900 with an 8l V8 that was doing the rounds in the mid to late ‘90’s….
The wide tyres and stance still give them away, even tho the Hyundai was the cosest then boba,you wouldn't tell the rover will overtake the Bentley.
Did I mistakenly hit FFWD for the Mk2 golf? Holy shit.
Avec 600 ch c est le temps que je faisait avec ma el camino 77 arranger 73 v8 smal blok strokeur 383 chevy compressor wieland boite 350 th et juste 580 hoseepower haaa si j avait eux du nos ou nitro
omfg
have the sleepers came out yet? or did I miss them when I fell asleep watching
Must’ve missed them
@@mk1kieran nah still waiting for them to line up
Somewhere on this planet Greta Thunburg is watching this and she's very, very angry 🤣
Haha good! 🤣
She's always angry.
And she has any relevance to this world?
Maybe she can watch from the blade of a windmill at Santa Pod!
@@ldnwholesale8552 Greta has more balls than all of you and likely doesn't give a shit about drag racing. I love drag racing AND I admire what Greta stands for. OMFG you CAN do both!!
Maybe one day 🤦
I'm here for mk1 porn! 💖
La petites escorte y est presque a une peux plus d une seconde
How the rover p4 should have been
Je suis un grand grand fane des slipper tu la voie oui elle est belles maïs tu c est pas ceux qu il y a dans le capot
This video lacks only peaks of what’s under each bonnet.
A vehicle with a visible rollcage is not a sleeper.
Neither of the Escorts, the Cortina or the Caddy qualify as sleepers.
The Caddys all look like that and usually belch out diesel soot bombs being the only difference to here 😝
Je suis sur le poind d acheter une voiture sans permis il me restera cas trouver un moteur hayabusa plus un gros turbo 4wd et la ca va filer
Old auntie rover certainly lifts her skirt and gets a hurry on. Who would have thought, 60 years on, some clown would drag race one.
боба раздал говна, как всегда
Aller les anglais il faux battre les voitures allemandes sur 400 m rien que la golf boba a 8 s2 en 4 2l 16s turbo
Now honestly, you have to be just a little bit sadistic to build a Sleeper car.
I mean, the Supercar drivers deserve it, but the Muscle Car guys should be given a warning first.
