He got it real cheap, cash in hand from Derek Trotter. 😁

I think that's a Triumph GT6, not a Spitfire..:-)

@@douglasharre7156 its a convertible spitfire with one of the naff hardtop conversions to make it resemble the GT6

@@charbander Hardly 'naff' !! It's an Ashley hardtop. I sold one a few months ago, in poor condition, for £1200 !

@@suffolkngood all after market stuff including Ashley was regarded as naff in the day..ruins the aesthetics of the original design..

The Mews is still there, though - virtually unchanged.

If he were still alive, he'd be a 100 now.

Bloody hell: I can hardly watch.

True now its a white van😄

Now it's eBay.

He's a musician

I was about to say that's Mr Nye's in Bathurst mews. The girls holding the horse were two years above me at school. He was alright Mr Nye, if you mucked out and polished tack all day he'd give you a free hour's ride at the end of the day or if someone cancelled. Good to know they still operate from the same, barely changed news. I dread to think how much a ride in Hyde Park is now, it was a tenner an hour in about '81/'82, hence the mucking out, tack polishing and grooming horses all day. Very nostalgic. I used to love our old rag and bone man, had a voice like a fog horn RAGBONE! you could hear him before the horse's hooves. He took my mums old cooker away, I must have been really little, I remember crying in case it was too heavy for the lovely horse. Somewhere there was a picture of me as a toddler sat on his back while he chomped away from his nose bag. He'd stopped coming round a few years before this though.

Ross Nye was a fellow Queenslander who moved to London in 1965,where he bought a small riding school and for the next 50 years encouraged Horse riding as means to gain better health and and outlook on life. He passed in 2020 Aged 93.

I do too, they had horses and carts where I lived. I think they used to do knife sharpening as well.

that's so hilarious!! 😆 Totting down the high street at 5am, straight from an after-hours pub session to the market for his hand-picked fruit & veg. 😁

That made me laugh when I saw him..haaa

A lovely, interesting clip.

Lol

Apart from the millions of English that live there

@@simonlambert6891 The English are now a minority group in London what insanity is that. Do you go to Tokyo and expect the Japanese to be a minority I can assure they are not.

@@magnah5581 why don't you say what you really mean? .'white people are the minority'...nice bit of casual racism

@@simonlambert6891 Doe's the truth offend you. I am sure if I had said another race you would not have made such a stupid statement.

@Mag nah The English are whoever live and reside in England.

I thought exact same thing.

No change out of £3m

Oh yeah...how did that horse resist the urge

Have you heard of wind power, solar, hydroelectricity etc?

@@uktravel8341 good luck riding a windmill or a solar panel . The greens predict that electric cars will compulsory by 2030 . The kids in Africa are digging as fast as they can to extract the cobalt etc for those fancy batteries.

I was looking for comments like this :) was watching this TV series few days ago.

Price for colonisation.

@@vipeton.8927 I was joking. But if a horse did wear a turban, why would that be a price for colonisation?

@@SpotlessLeopard this would be cultural appropriation ;)

@@vipeton.8927 That'll be the case when horses wear trainers. 😃

Haha 😄

I know. These fellas talk in a proper London accent, not the Jafaican accent you hear today.
