ot to be  quite slender to get in there this is probably a bit more you got to be a bit Nimble to get  in there exactly yeah this is probably a bit more me in there excellent we've got to look  at it haven't we we've got to look at this MGF no this was on bomes and [Music] Classics first off the line yeah amazing Vin 2511 this was on bangers and cash This was oh  was it oh hence the bangers number plane yeah it's nice car is he what is it my minks  was that shape so this is the Hillman GT from t
he bangers and cash TV show was it  restored then I it was bought by the TV show as a restoration project oh I see  so they've restored it as part of the show I think I think the club repaired it  I think okay I think they do cool [Music] yeah you had a Hillman yeah M was  this this shape minks the first off the production line Morris Miner wow  fantastic look at that VIN number one I'm surprised sorry you're still enjoying that  Hillman yeah I am cuz it reminds me of my first car that's what I
want to point out to you  row style wheels that's what your 70s car should have on it it's lovely isn't it we're seing  a lot of Firsts the first mini Miner off the production line serious yep what are you going  to show me in our Workshop there used to be a tool which was like a chisel type tool because  can you see here yeah water sits there so with this chisel type tool they used to put it in  and screw it down and it made a a slot in it right so the water drained out of there that's  not got
one you look at any mini that'll have a hole in them Corners so that hasn't got this  one's had one drilled in look so it's had one drilled in the channel there but there was a tool  in our workshop for doing that as a retro repair that's very interesting 1963 Jaguar e type series  1 Coupe they're a beautiful thing aren't they the types oh yeah they're gorgeous mate not something  I could actually get excited by would I have one no probably not I would have one of these though  look at that Rol
ls-Royce Silver Shadow 1971 that's a good looking thing isn't it what do you reckon  to the Silver Shadow I was just looking at the finish on the paint myself what can you I was  thinking what was you no candid what were you thinking I was thinking I wish I could get my  paint work as good was that was that actually what you were thinking well yeah it was look at  this L the motoring Cinema sit down and relax I suppose if I sit down in there now I will fall  asleep John oh look at this this look
s like your Workshop yeah I'm seeing all the  things I'm seeing in your Workshop right now I sold my I trolley this is  Old Village garage isn't it with his stuff how cool is that hello John how's business it's fine thank you that's excellent how good is that hello John there's  your hello John how's your G that's fine it's all good flipping e of turn in the corner and seen  all this my word amazing there's so much to see here wow if you was to look in my toolbx it would be  like a crowbar with
a big duck shaped end on it which we used to use for taking up caps off  off no what's this what you it is for taking them off the sort of but it's made out of  one of them it's made out of one of them drop links yeah no rollar l rollar links for  taking off these hub caps and the reason you used to get them was cuz people used to stick  their axle stands under there yeah and bend them so what's this we're looking at it's a  prototype Co there's some beautiful things here that's nice isn't it it
's a good  looking thing so it's a prototype for what the MG Mini Adu 34 yeah wow it's  interesting thing see people know all enthusiasts know what all these code  numbers mean yeah we never used them no oh the 1970 voxa SRV concept  that's a beautiful thing isn't it [Music] right so I've actually lost dad ah here he  is he's over here somewhere uh I've got to find him because he's got he's got a microphone  attached to him ah there he is is what do you found I lost you for a moment there what 
have you found oh snail van nice look at this snail van 2 Reliant Regal super van 3 in  the Royal Male Livery we could we could change it to the snail too couldn't we last off the  line and the last think Mrs John copin would like one of those what this you think do would  Mrs John koopen like me buying a reliant Regal super van for her to go to work in for her to  go to work in I don't think so no is that maybe lovely simitar GTE there there's some lovely  cars here isn't there watch this lovel
y cars amazing fantastic stuff and everything is so  everything is so shiny it's the lights it's a trick of the lights the trick of the lights  and can I just ask you to come and look at this this mg exe prototype yes because  isn't it beautiful what do you think to that just going to look at the back  here it's sort of well it's mgtf is yeah at the back isn't it yeah but it's just a  knockup isn't it it's not a real car isn't it stunning yeah it's made of plywood it's what  it's plywood is it c
an you see it's not real car oh yeah it's just so it is purely  a mockup prototype but it's a lot like it's not like an MGF on there no  it's got a steering rack on it as such but it's a it's a mockup yeah  so but I have you ever heard of it no have I what do you think to  the look of this isn't it [Music] brilliant you seen the fast back TR7 no yet no I haven't  seen any of these I've had a quick look at this voxa which I think is unbelievable could you  imagine seeing that on the road it's lik
e a space car I love the bubble at the back  of this one it's got the carbs stuck out yeah what are we looking at oh  look at that yeah oh the fast B TR7 well no what what's what it actually called  it's the Triumph linkx prototype [Laughter] cool it's a lovely green as well fantastic  green color oh no there's a TR6 here uh-oh so what you you've obviously said hey look at this  TR7 prototype fast back what is the difference between an actual TR7 has a boot doesn't it h  proper one has a boot do
it yeah right they've added the sort of it's got seats in the back  even made it long AR they oh here's an MGB GT that's been cut in half in fact they've actually  even cut the engine in half how longers is that that's got a lot of work for your apprentices  to do is it introduced in October 1965 MGB GT it's for the motor show 1965 two halfes it's good  that they can still push it back together if they wanted oh they've cut the gearbox in half even haha no you say it Pistons it's a fascinating
Museum  absolutely fascinated I don't think Mrs John cookon would like to come here no but  your mom wouldn't either would she maybe I bet your mom wouldn't like it what is this  a lightning what is it looks like a Nissan 350 Z but it's not it'll tell you on the  side tell us let's have a look lightning car company is a British company focused on the  development and production of high performance electric sports cars it's very wide it is  isn't it very very wide it's exceptionally wide I think
somebody made a mistake  there didn't realize how big British roads were it's made it in brit I know  nobody told me how narrow the roads was around here this Jensen's Lovely isn't it  but don't do anything for me Aston Martin [Music] DB5 tr2 prototype that's a beautiful  little thing I love the metallic tono as well that's nice so we're in  this sports cars section at the moment lots of nice cars if find something like I could be  on Father Brown couldn't I what the TF [ __ ] is this the one th
at they made like  a replica of in the 80s not sure mate with with P series running gear probably have no  idea really so these are cars through the decades 60s 7s 80s it looks weird now imagine  what it looked like in 1958 it would have looked Space Age now here is  an Armstrong Sidle Sapphire 346 lovely two-tone absolutely lovely in the [Music] 346 the Cyclops it's great is  it I'm looking for the Austin Gypsy we got a Lego mini here you think about it this is 10 years 12 years  previous to yo
ur Armstrong cidly yes look at the styling yeah look at the styling it's the  same thing isn't it almost just a style wise I love the running boards on this if you think  about that though that's 37 yep but that Ford pop over there are the 50s can you see very  similar it is isn't it very similar indeed you would have thought that that styling is the  same age as this would you yeah oh this is a lot more this Vox all is a lot more futuristic isn't  it it is you see it's late 1950s yeah when it's
1937 I like that look at the tracks on that I just like the  what it like to drive something like this wow you canc you feel like I feel like I was the uh  Wing Commander what I be a group Captain group Captain Oman leave I've seen something down  here that looks very Armstrong Sly is yeah from the back oh it's a bit more primitive  yeah it is mate is it now I've come down here how about this a leand Trojan it looks  like a TR it looks we've got straight bits of metal and we make a car we need
some  bendy bits okay just not too many bendy bits look good though doesn't Wheels H look  at the wheels yeah are they metal wheels solid I'm guessing they were designed  to run on 1924 I was going to say run on tracks but no can't be cheap motoring  so unpopular some garages put up a sign saying no Trojans really see nobody wants a  Trojan uh have you fallen in love with the Trojan you want him one so it's a two-stroke  engine with a chain drive oh it's really really primitive no I'm just intri
gued by it it's so  primitive 1907 Austin 30 horsepower Torah the oldest surviving Austin car amazing there are  oh this is the early really early L Range Rover look that is an early range overover isn't it oh look at that look at that that is massive is it you think the Armstrong s is long look  at this vandom PL princess 4 L limousine what do you reckon 18t long I think I  I don't think I'm be able to shut the doors I'm absolutely Blown Away by  the uh the amount of stuff here in the motor mus

@GentilsGarage

I loved it. Having your dad telling stories about these cars is a delight.

@Jaxs2

Brilliant interesting look around, guys .. Good info, much appreciated. I enjoyed that 👍

@fhwolthuis

Great video, lovely to hear your dad's stories too. I've visited this museum in 2012, time flies. I found it very worthwhile 👌🏼😃

@bradjohnson1627

Brilliant museum ❤ Excellent tour guides as well 😊

@mrcogginsgarage7062

Jon ado ! It's ADO short for Austin Design Office.

@badbooks476

Great video & excellent you enjoyed the museum. I have been many times, with the MX5 owners club, Superb collection. Ideally it needs a full day to appreciate it, never managed that yet though !

@freiduumforall8843

Having just hosted the annual Austin Car Clubs gathering (referred to as Austins Over Australia) in our country town here in NSW Australia last weekend, it was great to see such an extensive gathering of british motoring history there in Gaydon. Great vid and thanks for sharing…oh BTW, dad is still the star of the show….

@chucky2316

Looks great, i bet alot of good memories and bad ones when walking around 😂

@johnmoruzzi7236

There was an 80s kit car looking like the MG TF called the Gentry... based on a Triumph Herald...

@Sid3300

Weird seeing the MK1 Focus ST170 in a musem. It was only yesterday those were everywhere!

@guyhorner8165

Your father is 100% correct about the Hillman & the rostyle wheels. I remember having them on my 1974 Avenger. Sadly it wasnt a "Tiger" model, a very slow & ponderous 1250cc 🙄.

@darrenwilson8042

That mini gutter trick explains why they rotted out their A Pillar. When I worked as a Loss Adjuster we got a claim for damage to a Krypton machine from a Ferrari specialist near the Trent in Nth Lincs. From memory I think he forgot to unhook it and reversed pulling it into the garage inspection pit damaging it. We searched high and low for repair stuff but nothing could be found and he needed it as in the twenty teens he was working on 60's cars. In the end it proved best to settle with a second hand broken machine imported from the Netherlands or Germany can't remember which and the guy said with the two machines he was able to build one working one so was happy to settle at that.

MG sports cars traditionally start with the 251 vin number as it was the MG Abingdon works original phone number

@stevehoulihan726

Is it me or is that DB5 "too silver"? I saw a Silver Birch one last week, looked much darker.

@Taz-wf4jl

Do they own them all or are some on loan from collectors?
