    A thoroughly satisfying build. Condensed where it had to be but detailed enough to give the viewer a sense of the entire car design and construction. Ant has a great skill in explaining the small component builds and then one by one, merging them all into a highly anticipated whole. A great story with a beautiful end. I hope we get to see Ant Anstead's ideas for a Lotus very soon!

    1:04 Nice jab there Ant. There was an article in my news feed yesterday about how he is dealing with social media toxicity. Grow up people. Never imagined so many "car guys" would sound like a bunch of old housewives. Happy anniversary and congratulations on the build. "Instant" classic. Hope they use it in the next James Bond film.

    Hi Ant. For me, you could not have picked a better car to build. I've been an Alfa fan since 1963. I'm pretty sure that was before you were born. I very much enjoy watching someone who takes pride in their work and dedication to do it the right way. Thank you for these awesome videos.

    Ant Anstead just want to congratulate you....you are a great replacement for Young Ed. I Like Ed lots but you do a great job teaching mechanics and I'm certain Ed will be happy you have kept the workshop clips a big part of the show. I'm 53 and only passed my test three years ago,,, I hate new cars so drive cheap old (1999) 1 litre polo so I can do all the work myself to save on garage bills, learn, and if I screw up it doesn';t matter! Done engine swaps. Head gaskets, timing belts. water pump and clutch, and burnt exhaust valve replacement so far. next job valve seals! Also restoring my Dads AC 2 litre saloon. Keep doing a great job mate!

  • @walterweigert9840

    Hello Mr Anstead. I don´t know if you read this sometime, but as an argentinian I´m so proud you made a replica of a car from one of my favorite sportsman from my country: Juan Manuel Fangio. And when I knew you are a fan from him, it made my eyes got wet. Even Mr Fangio was born the same date as I (just the date not the year): June/24. If you have some time left over, I would suggest you to watch the videos of the epic jurney Mr Fangio, as a team leader, did back in 1969 when 3 argentinian developed cars went to Nürberging and almost won the 84 hours race. Those cars were named "Torino" and was produced in our country with an american platform and a "Pininfarina" body. I wish you the best of luck in your future project. I´m a great fan of you and your work. Cheers from northeast patagonia, Argentina.

    • @edwardsadler7515
      @edwardsadler7515 Před 4 lety +1

      Search CZcams for 'Fangio Onboard' to see him in action at Modena in 1957. The casual way he places his goggles over his face after he's left the pits and the sheer skill at speed around the track is breathtaking. Ant's car looks just like the real thing as well! Respect to all.

  • @terminalpsychosis8022

    in around1953/4 I had a Dinky model of a car like this. Placing my thumb on the bonnet with one flick I could propel it from one side of the school play ground to the other (appox 100ft) and it was still moving fast when it hit the grass.

    Congratulations Ant, a fantastic job. Only one comment concerns the engine: you used a 2000cc 4-cylinder from the spider, to be more compliant with the original engine, you could have used the engine of the alfa romeo 2600 sprint (1963-64). A 2600cc six-cylinder.

    • @Birashanuman
      @Birashanuman Před 4 lety

      Pretty cocky ? I would suggest that he is an unsufferably arrogant, narcissistic and intolerant prig. And skills ?
      My sixth sense, on seeing the way he handles spanners & other workshop hand tools, suggests he is far from a hand- on artisan,and possessed of little skill beyond a little imagination and perhaps a tertiary qualification in interior design (and/or drama), and has probably left the bulk of the dirty construction work to other long suffering 'team' members . Icould be wrong ,of course .There is no way that he could have produced such a remarkable confection alone in 12 weeks .The end result is remarkable in itself ,but how tragic that a 1951 MGTD had to forfeit it's life in order to satisfy his whim .I hope the MG Car Club has voiced it's concerns,rebuked and taken him to task ,.
      As a mid septuagenarian with a strikingly elegant early 50's V8 engined 2 seater Bentley MkV1 spl. to my credit ,and latterly a 38/250 SSK Merc evocation on a beautiful mid thirties un-bodied Heavy Straight Eight chassis, all built to traditional coachbuilding standards , I think I am as justified as the next man to pass an unprejudiced opinion ...!!!
