Another highly enjoyable video Joseph. About a car I knew very little about. Keep up the good work.😊

The only person who has crap, and weird taste in cars, is Ian Seabrook😂

I remember another reviewer pointing out that the Victor FE didn't really move the game on much from earlier models, especially the Victor FD, which my dad had, and was a much nicer looking car in my opinion, with design similarities to the smaller, but rather pretty Viva HB - my first car with a 1600cc overhead cam slant 4 engine.

Nice review and appropriate use of Roger Moores stunt double quip. Tremendous work.

The other oddity of the 1300 is that the starter ring gear is on the front of the crankshaft rather than the flywheel.

Sir! You’re really spoiling us! The FE Victor / VX series are 2 of my favourite 70s cars. We had a number in our family - my dad had an FE estate, then 2 VX estates. My uncle had a Ventora, then a 2300S - almost identical to this. It was quite a thing in the mid 70s - not many cars had cloth trim and a tape deck. I still love the looks - especially the VX series. The interiors were nice too - although the VX series were much better. That gear whine brings back memories………

I always thought that front end looked strikingly like the mk2 Granada 🤔

Had a R reg Bedford CF van with the 2300 slant four, used to go like stink.

My 1st car was a FD Victor, it was the 1600cc version (like mine) that had 3 speed column change and bench seat….I was a toolmaker so I had to get on the lathe and make new bushes to sort floppy gear change 😊 The 1.6 was 3 on the tree, 2.0 4 on the floor. LOL… (both half a V8 like the 1.8 n 2.3)

has same headlining as the cortina some what.

Greetings, Mr Lloyd. I remember the first FE Victors arriving at the Vauxhall dealers I worked at. Having loved the FD model I could not get used to the deep grill and a comeback of flutes in the bonnet which early Vauxhalls had. Having said that, I remember this limited edition model being a refreshing looking car which had some great goodies fitted as standard. We found little wrong with these cars, such a shame so many have gone. Any models, I see now are a delight to see. Many thanks for bringing back some great memories.

A great little shuffle and treasure hunt sir, i do have to say Mr Bill's Megane, and the DS were my favourites from this shuffle.

Still an elegant-looking car, and I actually knew someone who down on their income went from a Jag to one of these. Although if it had been say a Ford I doubt if their bean counters would have tolerated it flipping back and forth between FWD and RWD, but of course it was built with public money.

Enjoyed the video I walk the route over the viaduct and into Winchester quite often. I often drove the route in the 80s and they did a very good job restoring it. I have tried to find the railway bridge that the A33 went under near Compton but its quite hard to get to

brill job

Like your review the mg is fantastic value for money and all the tec as standard a great suv . The swift attitude is a very good looking very reliable and fun to drive little hatchback I owned a swift attitude for 5 years and loved it but ive recently exchanged it for a sz5 swift in speedy blue 🔵

treasure hunt ah mmm? even bac to the future car

Hot Garbage

The TVR S2 had the wrong mirrors too.

Think the Imp mirrors are off a Reliant Robin or Kitten.

Great car Joseph . have owned 3 Hondas a 2003 Accord a 1.8 Prelude and 1.6 Accord from 1983 . have a soft spot for Hondas

Hello , The road tax is a little high on these , did the gov change the tax rates as at one time there was a break around 2005 but now not ? When ever I see one about I think they look small now but they where a big car when they came out .

An excellent review as always Sir, I could see myself in a lovely Accord like this.

Ran an 2003 2.4 Accord Executive Tourer for 12 years and 200k miles, great cars if you keep them maintained. Engine is strong and reliable, just not that refined at higher revs. Took family all over Europe and up to the Arctic Circle in it when it was over 150k miles and not a single issue.

Thank you for this video! A friend indeed has one with beige leather interior! Very popular car in New Zealand.

Enjoyed watching you do this. I have an Australian market 2006/7 Accord Euro Luxury, black with black leather, 17 inch wheels. Ride is pretty firm on bumpy roads. It was lowered with sports springs and a camber kit by the first owner. I bought it beginning of 2015, with 132,000kms. Now it’s done 279k. Beautiful car to drive, still nice and tight but needs good rubber to get the most out of the handling and road holding. Engine and gearbox are bulletproof when serviced regularly- with city driving, mine gets new oil and filter every 5k. Ancillaries like aircon and power steering not quite as bulletproof but my car has had a lot of use. Anyway thanks for the review- I agree that these are a very good value car

I'd have this!❤

Spoiler in black not standard.

One of my fave cars all time to sell. Drive very well. 2.4 auto the pick. Always an Exec please. Always roof. Alloy design my favourite. Saloon over SW please.

PS. I own a few classic cars at moment. And one of my friends has a 2200 princess auto . That i have 1st refusal on , if he decides to sell it. We often sell eachother car's in our group. I bought a 1972 triumph 2000 in orange/ off him recently i feel the triumph 2000/2500 is a underated car, that actually is a good alternative to a rover p6. That i also own

A very enjoyable shuffle sir, loved having a look round some of the steam and traction and some rather lovely looking cars on display as well.

Ah" thank you sir" this is a very agreeable example. I've owned several princess's and 2 ambassador's my favourite was a light green ambassador 2:0 HLS with elec front windows and power steering! It was a 83A reg: i owned from 89-91 then i sold it and the last time i saw it , in 93 it had a cab aerial on it at a mini cab office it even had a sticker in the window that said your, now traveling ambassador class! I ran a check, on it recently and it hasn't been taxed since 1994) i remember changing the twin carb's for a single carb set up, apart from that it was very reliable.

Lovely clean styling. Before the era of tortured sheet metal and Acura’s Horrible “Power Plenum “ design language. Known as the Acura TSX in the US. And finding one with a manual is a rarity. Much less flabby than the larger Accord we got over here

This would be a very sensible purchase. Honda quality is evident throughout. I do find them a bit bland but I don't think that would stop me from owning one.

Recently purchased a Accord 2006 touring 2.0 litre petrol . Fantastic car + Japanese Honda reliability. What's not to love .

Never found the end point, was looking for Hamble Country Park, you were at Manor Farm Country Park......no worries, still have a nice run about in the old car.

Nice old motor. I had a, rough, Dolomite 1850. Very sturdy cars.

I've had Envoy, GLS, CD, CDX and SRI.

I remember these…tho I didn’t have one myself Built like a house and 2.4 VETEC = FAST. I remember the commercial that launched with this….about how smooth that other non petrol engine was supposed to be. Earth Dreams moniker….tho, that badge was also used on later petrol engines (I have one).

Clarkson was a tool for panning it. They're much better quality than a mk3 Mondeo, and much nicer to drive, sit in and look at than a mk2 Avensis 🤢

I'd get rid of that K&N garbage though, it's the only thing letting it down. Get a nice genuine Honda, Hegnst or Mahle.

Honda gearboxes can be some of the best out there. In my time, I've owned a Concerto, a Mk8 Civic and now I have a CR-Z hybrid. Very snickety and precise gear changes in all of them.

A handsome car indeed, Mr Lloyd

Hello Joseph , They do drive a lot better with 16" wheels on you would find , also now a lot of young'uns like to take the engines of of these and put civic tyre-r heads on to the blocks and put em in EK , EP3 civics and make em go dead fast !

Now that's a lovely car, a proper car, no electric/hybrid/lane departure/plastic fantastic mush, kudos sir 👍

Great show! That Triumph Toledo would have been one of the last 2 door models if 1975. Love the Maxi and the Fiat 124 Spyder....roadster, or whatever it was called!

You didn't mention it, but I believe this model has the fully adjustable steering column - very rare then in a small car (carried over to the up-market Dolomites).

Just gad my cooler and egr valve replaced £1200 ! Went to a few garages all said it needed replacing, tested old one that has been took off, nothing wrong with it. All it needed was some wd40 spraying on the connectors as there in a place where they get wet and dirty ! Also having problems with the radio, hdmi wont connect and tune in to most stations any ideas
