Man we've lost this aspect of motoring. We no longer understand the machines we drive. These videos are fun!

How did 900 out of 926 viewers not live this video? Great car, cool old bloke who owns it and an interesting lesson on basic diagnosis.

The joy of tinkering😊

Very pleased for you and thanks for sharing it. Takes me back to working with my dad on his Ford Capri - do you remember the “stroboscope” for getting the timing right? Looking forward to the next one and it would be great to see John behind the wheel enjoying the benefit of his hard work.

Stu, I used to work with John for about 10 years at a company called Xpedite. I haven't seen him for about 15 years and bumped into him at 7-eleven wahroonga about 3 weeks ago! Small world! Love the Healey sprite content! Cheers Steve

Great video. Love his garage! Love the simplicity of the ol girls…

Would love a follow up, I wanna see the old boy drive this thing!

Haha well done.

Spray some lighter fluid in the 2 air inlets of the carbs. She'll start if you have spark
