12 Best British Cars through the Ages: Classy Continuation Models and Restoration Projects
Going back in time for less than a century, when the United Kingdom was still an empire and its carmakers weren’t yet owned by the now former colonies, would bring us to the true golden age of British automaking. The era when the designs and engineering solutions associated with the Union Jack were universally recognized and even worshipped. Today we would like to invite you on a journey through the ages by taking a look at the most iconic car models, best restoration projects and stunning continuations with the UK origins.

Beautiful car s.but my car 2004 modal TATA indigo
I am enjoying your videos: the subject matter (Brit cars), the compilation of high qual clips etc. However, the narration is a bit tough on the ear. The accent (computer voice?) mispronounces many of the words – only slightly, but enough to be distracting.
is it a Russian who speaks here ? BTW it is Coupé (Kou-peh)not Coup !
Like the channel…..hate this robot voice….
I subscribed your channel at firs sight,all the cars of my youth,I am 66 and I loved that time and these cars soooo much!
Lovely 💓🔥
That Red Job at the End is Stunning…
Mini Remastered is Mr. Bean car😀🖤👍🏼
Like them all, Aston Martin is the best for me
Where are the links to the individual websites?!!
Next time could you try narrating without the marbles in your mouth?
Terbaik tu.OK..
This guys British accent is really thick.
Morgan. A car with drip.
I like The:
•Aston Martin DB5 Continuation
•Lunaz Rolls-Royce Phantom V
•David Brown Automotive Mini Remastered
•Rolls-Royce Corniche
•Morgan Plus Four
•Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
Ya missed a couple
These replication are very nice at a very nice price and all british based cars l do like the Rolls Royce electric if you electricfied an original Rolls Royce it would be sacolidge but a replica of cause you included the Morgan and the Catram what about the Ford F40 after all it was a british car many replica have been built
Like all the cars apart from the EV rolls rubbish
My favorite cars are English, since I was young and always
I’ll have the DB4 GT Zagato!!
I like evey bentleys
What a funny accent ….
Ladies enjoy fine vehicles too. How retro of you to say they are for gentlemen.
Why no Alvis?
The worst narrator I have ever heard.
AC Aceca ?
Love eagle cars. They actually have 3 models.
Motorcar that is.
etype is the best car
Worst voice EVER. Are there no humans in your neighbourhood ?
I AM AN EURO CAR LOVER. MAINLY BRITISH CARS. I LOVE THESE CARS MAINLY BECAUSE THERE HAS CHARACTER IN THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE SAY ASTON MARTIN WE THINK ABOUT JAMES BOND. LAND ROVER, RANGE ROVER, SOME OF THE BEST BUILT OFF-ROADERS, ROLLS ROYCE BENTLEY THE BEST-BUILT LUXURY CARS.
Expensive and prone to fail cars not comfortable or universal easy to repair 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲
I would like to watch this but two minutes of that awful computer voice and I stopped it. Too bad, a human voice would be much nicer.
That Morgan does NOT have 100 year old styling. It looks far newer than that.
Terrible commentary – AVOID
Surely the Rolls Royce Phantom is way too heavy to consider for an EV conversion? Range must be minimal.
Please, drop the robot voice.
Disappointed that these classic British Cars are being described by somebody other than a Brit and some of the cars are LEFT HAND drive. NOT VERY BRITISH
ECD spoiled a good restored RANGE ROVER with that American derived Chevrolet 6.2 LS V8 engine under the hood & the 18.0 alloy wheels that further spoils the classic look!!!
.
Thunder Guts.

WORST NARRATOR EVER!!!!!!
I like the Phantom V🔥🔥🔥
No gentleman would be seen dead in anything in the current Rolls Royce range. They are the pinnacle of pretension. Gaudy, twinkling lights in the roof, what my mother would have called desperate colours inside and out, diamonds inlaid when asked for. The real company always turned down anything that it thought vulgar enough to reflect badly on the marque. Now it seems the more gaudy and vulgar the better. The triumph of money over taste. Certainly nothing for the traditional Rolls Royce owner.
Before I’m accused of jealousy, I have owned, as second owner, a 1965 Silver Cloud III, since 1982. A proper Rolls Royce.
Some manufacturer borrow entire design some couldn’t lend engines?
My 1st car 1970 Triumph TR6 .. Loved that car
Great content. Awful accent and pronunciation. Why spoil it?
