It may be unfixable, but The Wizard is enjoying his yachts.
he aint, trust me o this, old boats are evil beyond compare. the snags aint woth the sail.
Ha ha ha, he is yes!
laughed so hard about this.
Aww i loved the Riptide Blue video. Please don't change. And now I want that Escalade. Seriously hope for something nice in WA
Katie. An old beater shitty boat is no yacht. Just like an old garage sale costume ring is no diamond engagement ring. You want prada or coach and we send you to walmart. Its not the same.
I, for one, truly enjoyed the RIPTIDE BLUE bit. You do you, Tyler. You do you.
Yea I agree, it was creative.
*Drumbeats*
Me too it was funny must be a bunch of boomers watching him
@@tambrody2684 most car guys watching him are likely 45 to 65 years old. Thats my guess.
I hated the slow riptide thing. It was ok 2 or three times. After that it just grated on me. Like a 5 year old that keeps kicking the back of an airplane seat.
And based on the more than 100 angry comments and dislikes. I was not alone.
Yeah, all I can hear is Scooby Doo saying "Riptide BLUE".
You can’t be surprised if a car from a guy called “Urination” leaks 😂
Lol . Really funny...hehehe thanks

Later versions of the A series engine had a heat shield that fits between the exhaust manifold and the carbs. Although it might not be ‘correct’ for your car, it would help. MG Midgets upto 1975 would be a source of this part. Also, make sure the overflow pipe from the float chamber lid is long enough to go past the hot exhaust manifold. Love the Frog eye.
Yup 'frog eyed sprite' as we say in the UK , not 'bug eyed' 🤣🤣👍👍
To be honest he could probably get a later 1275 rebuilt for not much and have some more power keep the orginal engine just for resale purposes
@@Thanos.m What's the point of messing with a perfectly good car? You don't need more power to have fun in a Sprite, you just need the right sort of roads.
@@davidjones332 I don't disagree with that but I'm not talking about 200hp Sprite more like 70hp so that you can keep up with modern traffic easily plus you don't have to worry about the orginal engine
Yes, a heat shield between the carbs and exhaust manifold is a quick and effective fix for fuel vaporization problems. Alternately you can have the header, if there is one on your Sprite, ceramic coated. This is also an effective, albeit more fiddly and costly, fix.
We are seeing something like a Jay Leno’s garage growing on Hoover.
The emphasis is on the word 'something'.
can't wait to see Tylers F1
"I just bought the cheapest McLaren F1 in the USA!"
Hoovie enjoys saying “Urination Bob” as much as we enjoying hearing him say it. 😀
yeah I heard that too
Just couldn't leave poor Bob alone to enjoy his toys for a while before selling them.
"Weeeeezard" and "Car Ninja" and "Urination Bob" ahh what a cast!

The Austin Healey is probably my favorite car that you've ever bought.

@@dickvolen4589 close, divide by two and you've got it.
@@dickvolen4589 I understand why your called that
The 280SE sounds absolutely solid when you close the door,
They are. Complete beasts those cars. My dad hit a Honda Civic running a red light one day. We drove home with a broken headlight. The Honda was a write off.
I noticed that as well. This era of mercedes, were literally the finest cars available on earth at that time.
@@AntonyHart And that's why Germans used to say that Benz's come with the "right of way" built in.
The 280SE could be better than the Maybach. Top quality with a fraction of the complexity.
Mercedes-Benzes in that era were made like the family silver - something you could get as a present on your wedding day and hand down to your great-great-grandkids
Of all the vehicles I've seen you buy over the past 2-3 years, the Sprite is, by far, my favorite!!
If the radio turns on and then says “system unavailable”, it means that a module in the fiber optic loop is dead and not sending a signal. It’s almost definitely not the head unit itself. Just use a fiber loopback ring to see which component is dead.
...or just wire a new amp in, use the radio cabling and get a new aftermarket head unit in.
You don't buy a Maybach with a shitty aftermarket head unit. You look at it, laugh, then click on the next one for sale.
Gotta know your market before you start making decisions like that.
@@rustler08 yeah but the aftermarket amp is a good idea all Mercedes from 2001-2008 had the fiber optic issues
@@rustler08 All aftermarket is shitty? I get it though..
I really do LOVE watching this channel.
As a car enthusiast, its always great seeing a fellow enthusiast living the dream, buying and repairing and driving cars most of us just WISH we could own. The wizard seems such a chill guy too, I wish he had a workshop over here in SoCal lol. Keep up the great work Hoovie and Wizard.
Me and My Tesla P85D, my 74 Caddy Eldorado, and my 2008 Orange Suzuki M109 R LOVE your channel. :)
The front of that Sprite just screams “we’re gonna die” in the happiest way possible.
That has a self-lubricating chassis system, completely normal.
Self undercoating! 😄
I don't understand fixing oil leaks. The oil costs the undercarriage and protects from rust. Win Win
I had the same type of system for the back tyre of a Triumph Tiger 650!
@@mexicanspec It will ruin the carpet in Hoovie's garage at home

Im amazed Wizard isn’t overwhelmed with all those vehicles in his shop. Months or more of work
I've seen a riptide blue Escalade and in direct sunlight it is stunning.
No
Just realized that the Car Wizard has bought lifts to be able to stack Hoovies 'project' Cars :-D
@Mel Gibbson Yeah, okay, I amend that to 'equipped' to have a neutral approach ;-)
@Mel Gibbson And he has that building next door. Presently rented out, doubtless plans for expansion.
Now you’re in my neighborhood… I’ve owned an MG Midget (basically a Sprite) for over 25 years, and have done all my own work on it. Moss Motors, and a few other vendors, can supply pretty much anything you need, and parts prices can be surprisingly reasonable, as you found. They’re wonderful little cars, refreshingly simple.
Hoovies 57 Maybach ordeal is the perfect example of the “sunk cost fallacy”.
What's the sunk cost fallacy?
@@kensmechanicalaffair, it’s essentially not taking a loss if you have a stake in something such as a business, or-in this case-a vehicle.
It applies to a variety of scenarios though and is useful when accessing risk and knowing when to call it quits even in for relationships too.
Great video, Tyler. What a glorious wee beastie. This is my 3rd favourite of all the cars you had. Number one was the red Imperial Crown convertible and number 2 was that glorious late-70s large Lincoln Continental sedan.
The *BEEP BEEP* "WEEEZARD" really got me
We need to see Wizard driving the Austin! Wearing a cabbie cap and tweed jacket. Blimey. 🇬🇧
Absolutely!!!
I fully support this idea.
Bloody hell
@@Nowrongdoer 😁😁😁😁😁
@Mel Gibbson That's the idea. A big bear riding a puppy. 👍👍
Amazing how in this age of constant information, cars from 80 years ago still share so many similarities. The differential, leaf springs, etc. haven’t really changed at all in all that time.
Hoovie: so l’ll have a bill today ?
Wizard: OOooohhhh YAH
Hoovie says: "I'm $45k into this thing, but I'm not giving up!" And Wee-zard 'giggles! Cha-Ching!💰😸🤗
Hobbies just bought The Wizard a $3500 puppy
Hoovie
I think the cost of Maybach repairs is mostly the parts, he's not going to make as much money on that.
Did he say $25k or $45k?
Did you know Tyler that Moss-Europe do a complete bolt on supercharger kit for the frog eye. Might be something to think about🤔
If you go that route I'd strongly consider brake and tire upgrades.
Keep doing your thing hoovie. You are always fun to watch
Such a great channel. I think much of the appeal is how likable these two guys are.
The Austin healy will never break down! It's too happy to give up on life.
He might just need a break a little more often than other cars. I mean, he’s a pensioner so cut him some slack
You've obviously never owned an Austin! I learned to drive in them (not a bug eye) and you'd always have a set of tools, spare points, condensor, distributor cap, spark plugs, etc with you. But they were very easy to work on, until eventually rust claimed them.
A Series engine in the bug eye is designed to constantly leak oil. Helps prevent rust in the UK climate.
And set on fire.
As the owner of a 1098 yes they leak all the time from everywhere
Dad had a couple in the garage from a mini and a Morris 1000. Let me rebuild one when I was a teenager.
Stops our metaled roads going rusty too...
On a newly rebuild engine and upgrading the rear seal, you get pretty close to oil free. Noted I said pretty close :)
DO NOT CHANGE THE IGNITION COIL ON THE 911SC. Those coils rarely fail but the new ones made in Brazil fail often.
I just finished rebuilding my 911SC engine, CIS, CDI, and transmission. PM me if you need any guidance, advice, or contacts for good people to work on the CIS, fuel lines, or CDI ignition.
Keep up the good work! Love seeing these older cars.
I remember The classic sounds of driving Austin and Morris Cars in there day. My favourite was my 1959 Wolseley 1500 same age as me.
I’m surprised this isn’t just a private shop. He makes enough off hoovey to live nicely.
Wizard bought the neighboring building to his so it's highly likely that's the case.
Hoovie taps on the carbs, then goes to the opposite side of the engine: "And here's the intake!"
That is everything you need to know about Tylers mechanical knowledge 😂
That is why pays the Wizard to wrench
Technically it is an intake...........for the heater!! Oh Hoovie, what are we gonna do with ya???
That open breather pipe on the valve cover (rocker cover) probably wants blanking off, or more ideally, plumbing into a T piece and connecting up to the breathers on the carbs to create a vacuum effect on the crankcase, which may go some way to help reduce the likelihood of oil leaks reappearing in future. It'd definitely worth investing in a heat shield which was fitted to the likes of twin carb'd Minis, MG Midgets etc which should be quite readily available either new or second hand, and will look like a factory fit item in your engine bay.
Love the little Bug Eye! Back in High School, I had a '62 Mark 1 Midget with a 948cc little suitcase of an engine. We used to joke the car would do 0-60 in five flat!! (We were talking minutes of course!) Have fun with this one!!
Every time hoovie drives in and says “wiiizard”. Omega can keep the lights on😂😂😂😂
Shoulda done black and silver two-tone… I just can’t get onboard with that red.
It looks like a cheap piece of crap the way it is painted
That combination is horrendous and I can't get over it.
That horrendous paint job devalued the car far more than the salvage title ever could.
I agree, looks terrible! Also looks like every lowrider Monte Carlo in my town.
I'm waiting for the update o th4e Bugeye.
Wizard - "The Bugeye's ready."
Hoovie - "Great! I'll stop by and pick it up."
Wizard - "Sorry. I can't give it to you."
Hoovie - "What? Why?"
Wizard - "Mrs. Wizard saw the car. She won't let it go."
I lived in the town that created and built the Austin-Healey. If it's old, and doesn't leak oil.... it's not British. I own a '69 Rover 3500. A small-block 215cu Buick V8 re-engineered, the rest, British. I love it. Keep up the great work Hoovie. Oh and the Austin engine... the same the original Mini - the legendary A-Series engine. Pretty much bombproof and VERY tunable... look up a specialist called Tickford, they go up to a whole 1300cc and it had a very long manufacturing history - they just leak oil. Wizard nailed it on the vapour lock - you need a better pump.
That looks like an A series engine, very common to mini and other Austin of the era. I'd be hugely surprised if you can't find specialist suppliers in the UK with pretty much everything on the shelf for this car, for way way less than the Maybach prices.
Shipping from the UK though ? Ouch
@@Meowface. not heavy stuff though
That is an Austin A-Series inline 4. It was in production for a long time. It finally went out of production in 2000 when the Mini was retired
. Displacement varied from an 805cc up to the 1275cc, with horsepower as high as 90 HP.
There's a company called 'Moss' where you can get every single part/washer/bolt etc. You could build a car from the parts they sell (even the chassis and body)
@@michaeltutty1540 It could actually go beyond 94bhp (which was their standard rating IIRC) but they limited the pressure on the turbo as it would kill the gearbox used in the Metro and Mini. NA it reached the terrifying heights of 77bhp! However it was always tourquey for its size and sounded great!
"This is not the channel of good decisions." Well stated and fun for us to watch.
Exactly, he does everything we know better than to do but deep down inside wish we could.
Steve from "This Week with Cars" knows everything about Healeys. He'll have contacts with all parts suppliers, and there is no shortage of parts.
You need to ensure the heat shield is present (spoiler, looks to be missing) behind the SU carbs.
That is where the problem almost certainly lays.
That float bowl is almost touching the exhaust header just behind it.
Personally would add or make some carb spacers to move the whole fuel system a little further away from the head.
There really is no need for an electric fuel pump, unless you want the car to burn faster, with the heat shield left missing?
The Austin is a british car: the day it stops leaking oil it'll be because it will had run out of it
Yeah the gaskets on old cars were cork, like same exact thing plugging your wine bottle. I'm sure they have new upgraded rubber gaskets that work a lot better, but those cost you 50 points at the concourse judging.
Its just a loosing battle if you stop one leak another will pop out
It's just a matter of health IMO. If you put rubber gaskets then the engine cannot sweat in summer and that's just bad for it. However, the drain plug leak is a lot more concerning 😂
Love your FROG-EYED Sprite or “vacuum cleaner” as my old dad would call it (because it was for picking up fluff in his day).
Excellent engineering when a car only needed 40hp because people were smaller and expectations were more reasonable.
I guess you couldn’t get one modern arse cheek in the driving seat yet alone hall that ass up to motorway speed nowadays, but for it time and place it was a beautiful bit of engineering.
Deeply jealous.
It’s original owners would have done all that themselves - without car lifts etc on a Sunday afternoon and it would have cost a few shillings.
yes. its not slow - modern cars are just crazy fast. i drove my neighbours Polo - it feels like it will do 115mph
Brilliant cars, but...
$100 for a valve cover gasket, $250 for the timing cover?
I know parts aren't as easy to get across the pond... but those are 30min jobs, max! I have an A40 with the same engine, the valve cover gasket is 2 bolts and the whole cover comes off, the gasket is cork and there's nothing else holding it down. Those SU carbs probably have a better solution to just bolting in an electric pump too, they're HS2 intakes so all sorts of different carb setups fit.
@@georgegreen1349 I totally agree.
I have my late fathers 1948 Triumph Speed Twin motorcycle and VP sidecar, which is also all cork gaskets and beautifully engineered parts. There is not one bolt that can be put I. The wrong place as it was designed by Edward Turner (his last motorcycle personally created) and is a work of art.
My comment was to espouse the attention to detail and the sheer magnificence of such engineering and I am so pleased to see a fellow lover of true engineering picked up on my core message.
I would love to see your A40 and wish you all the best from across the pond.
@@georgegreen1349 I have a MG metro turbo and neither of those gaskets cost anywhere near that and as you say are the easiest jobs. The wizard is a prick though
@@landedzentry I just love it. It’s like the old minis. They are no Bugatti, but you feel like your going a millions miles an hour at 60.
Great cars and great owners.
My dad bought a 1970 MG Midget in Grand Haven, MI in the summer of 2001. While driving it back w/ a friend to Lancaster, PA, the serpentine belt broke. They bought a belt for a John Deere mower @ a near by dealer / repair shop that fit the MG perfectly.
That Austin Healey is one of my favorite cars ever. So sweet. I'm also glad to see the Maybach again too. Nice crossover going on in this video- we've got the Maybach, which is a hooptie to its core, then we have the Bugeye Sprite that's just a classic, classic car.
Frog-eye sprite.
I bought an Austin.
Nice.
It's leaking oil.
Yes, you said that.
The sprite looks like the wizard at bill time!
Who else thought Wizard was actually lifting the car for a sec when he opened the hood 🤣😂?!
Good on Hoovie for not ditching the gas engine on the red Porsche!
You see Wizard and he is always half happy and half worried. Happy because thanks to Hoovie he obviously will be able to send his grandchildren to Harvard. But worried because the mental health of Hoovie is also under serious threat and the game might be over soon.
Easy on the crazyness, Tyler!
The Healy is the equivalent of a kitten themed "Hang in there" wall poster.
Just my 2 cents, I drove an Austin America, a sort of Mini Wagon 5 door, back in the day before you were born…around 1976-7. It had an 850 cc/ 42 hp engine and 4 speed that also for awhile had the same fuel vapour lock problem. Solved at a Volkswagen dealership by an astute mechanic by putting a shield between the motor/ exhaust and the fuel lines, as well as wrapping the lines in, believe it or not, house insulation and hose clamps ( tie wraps weren’t even invented yet) It did the trick for the summer I had it.
Your bugeye has extractors which radiate huge amounts of heat just as mine did and on my bugeye it made the petrol in the SU float bowls boil AND it melted all the solder in the generator commutator. I took off the cards and made an aluminium heat shield which bolted between the intake manifold and the carbs. I cut out holes so it would sandwich between the manifold and the carbs. Nomore boiling fuel. I wrapped the generator with heat fabric and fitted another aluminium (correct spelling) heat shield around it. Finally I wrapped the exhaust extractors with heat fabric. No more problems. Good luck.
And I thought Mazdas from the early and mid-aughts looked happy. That thing is just delighted by all that life has to offer
It met the wizard!
It looks like a care from an old-style cartoon. You expect to see Noddy behind the wheel.
Shout-out to Latvia! Coming through with the missing parts, being fair and swift with prices and shipping. Becoming my favorite country from the former Soviet union!
For reals, Latvia is a fantastic place, and everyone from there I've met are awesome people.
Maybachs, Rollses and Bentleys were probably not an uncommon sight in the 00s in Russia and the other Soviet countries. So uncommon in fact that that Latvian guy has a junkyard for Maybachs only as said in one of the previous videos

@@kojotot3173 He seems to be one of very very few that part them up, so he could've been a total douchebag about trans-atlantic sales. He deserves some kudos for that.

That thumbnail says it all for Hoovie and the Car Wizard. Awesome!
Hoovie I'm going to say this once, when you jump in a car, you HAVE to let it warm up all the way before you start ripping around. Maybe you do off camera more often than I know but it didn't appear that you did when you drove this Sprite for the first time. This and driving without oil pressure are my pet peeves with this channel as a car lover. Apart from that, carry on! ☺️
So it wasn't a fake bill from the Wizard last time, just one sent back in time from the future to warn Hoovie.
I'd switch the carbs for a single SU HIF44 carb from an 80's-90's Austin Maestro/Metro/Montego, Hoovie.
The small twin SU carbs are not required, where a single big SU will do. You won't get vapour lock at all, and you won't need to balance the carbs. Its a simpler integrated design too.
Remember to check the carb needle float chamber oil level every month (undo the top cap from the plenum body and use the mini dipstick)
A-series engine is ubiquitous. Mini specialists will have LOTS of parts..... especially period performance stuff!
I like all your cars and adventures... to include the Escalade. Thank you for sharing. On the 'Bug-eye' vapor lock issue; I don't think the electric fuel pump is going to solve it. If there is a vapor lock issue, I think the only way is to reduce the heat on the fuel components and/or install a return system.
If a Healey isn't leaking oil, its out of oil 😅
Hoovie idk how you afford all these cars but we love watching you buy them! That bug eye is adorable too
you over did the ‘’rip tide blue’’ thing. It was good the first time. love.
I lost it when your mechanic went to hug it!
The Bentley revenge is the Mercedes 😅
It needs a "Free Hugs" sticker on it.
45 bhp from 850cc is pretty good bearing in mind the 998 only made 40bhp.
The fix on the Austin Mini (same engine) was a bigger heat shield between carbs and exhaust manifold.
The sumps are known for the drain plug braze to crack and leak.
I've been driving Sprites since I was in high school 1979. They're incredibly easy to work on, and Incredibly cheap to fix. You need about two wrenches and two screwdrivers to do almost anything on the car. When I was in high school on multiple occasions my classmates carried it up flights of stairs in left at places. I paid all of $300 for my 64 Sprite and added about $100 of Bondo and plate steel to keep it from snapping into due to rust
Sprite vapour lock: it happened to mine sometimes when it's really hot. However there's a lever on the side of the fuel pump/filter thing that you can use to refill the carburettor bowls.
I think you're more likely to find you don't need an electric fuel pump. I'd start by taking the fuel pump apart. Mine was completely jammed full of rust chunks and it ran a lot better without them! It has a strainer inside.
Also clearly a sports car as it has dual carbs!
if wizard can fix the austin's oil leak he will accomplish a feat that the austin engineers failed to do during the entirety of austin production!
Just add oil, newer drain plugs heip, there was some kind of fecmk up on the thermal expansion co-effient....

@@gregh7457 nothing greater than an English bodge ( the Yanks got their own back by giving us Duct tape 😂😂
I’d love to see you go to Latvia to source the finest parts for this Maybach!
Armstrong (or lever) shocks were a very popular design that actually worked really well for light-duty applications like this. My MGB and lots of other British cars also had them. Good thing about them is they were almost always rebuildable, unlike a lot of tube-style shocks.
It's all original Mini Cooper parts for the engine Tyler, or you could upgrade the whole engine to a 1275cc Cooper, Rj in Oz
or better yet, the MG metro turbo engine, we used to fit them in minis back in the day, only like 90 hp stock, but incredibly good fun in such a light car.
That Sprite is your doppelgänger. You should keep it forever!
Glad you’re fixing the old Porsche! I’d love to have one someday. Need one for my channel.

You should install a thin aluminium plate as a heat shield for the carbs (between carbs and engine) , had the same issue on my spitfire and it worked fine.
SU vapour fix. Small thermo fan in front radiator set to run till the water temp gets to a certain level after shut-down reducing heat soak. Keeps the underhood temps down. Your issue will be short stops in summer and peak hour stop start traffic. Worked me me in the hot aussie summer on a p1800s
