8 months ago the car was extracted - here's that first episode! https://youtu.be/xOUaJuk0_TE?si=azp7VWhBNQXF799c

That old boy who runs the A40 club from his garage is what makes this country great. An absolute mine and treasure trove of parts and information for some obscure classic car from the 1960s. Without people like him keeping such cars on the road would be much much harder.

Give me Ben working on an Austin over Mat working on a Chiron     ANY day of the week .....Nice one Ben

The A40 specialist was a really nice guy and his car looked lovely.

Love the little A-Series, fond days of doing work on them. 12min in and laughing at the short water pipe between teh head and block, knowing the pain ahead

Before the merger with Morris Motors in 1935, Wolseley and MG were owned as the personal property of Lord Nuffield. After the merger with the bulk of design work carried out at Cowley, the identification number for chassis and engines on Wolseley was assigned a “W” and the letter “G” was assigned to MG (M was already assigned to Morris). Hence the use of Mo (Morris), Wo (Wolseley) and MG to mark the various components with MOWOG as the result.

You need to hit it with a branch 😂

Hi Ben. I am a lifetime trained mechanic retired now at 62. I have to say its amazing watching you do the Austin I had this engine in two of my mini 950s and my Austin 1300 and I can't believe you can still get parts for them. It's great nostalgia watching you do this your a great guy I watch your channel avidly and always give you a like....❤

This is one of my favourite episodes so far. I love the car and it is great to see it brought back to life after so long. It is excellent that you are explaining more of the theory about how systems and components work and how to do things. Young people particularly will be interested in learning about old cars and it is important to think about that audience. Looking forward to the next episode.

Ben back to doing what he does best. A long video, of which I watched every single second, rescuing a barn find and putting it back to former glories.

Honestly, I love these long videos. They tell the story, and bring us along through the highs and lows.

Brilliant stuff!

Hi from Scotland,  love watching you do these kind of restorations , what a cool little car , I rally can't believe how far you have came ben , I was in your first 15 thousands viewers,  it's crazy how things have turned out , a new garage , two new guys working for you also , I really wish you all the best for the future. You deserve everything that comes to you as you've worked your butt off to get where you are , sending love from Scotland ❤

Happy Saturday viewing fellow Tasty subscribers.

Best Car Channel on YouTube by a mile. Would love to see you do a Vauxhall Viva, only because that was my first car.👍

I'm sure other people will comment on this too, but you can't just check that #1 is at TDC, you have to make sure that it's at TDC on the compression stroke, because it gets to TDC twice in the 4-stroke cycle. I've noticed this in several of your videos where you just find TDC on #1 and then set the timing and it seems that you always got lucky because it was 50:50 if the spark should be at #1 or the other side of the cycle in that case. I'd suggest putting your finger over the spark plug hole as you turn the engine and then you can feel when #1 is building compression, and then when you get to TDC you know that the spark should be going to #1. Hope that makes sense. Overall an epic build, can't wait to see part 2! Cheers.

Ben you are a true diamond sir. The rescuing of the A40 from the barn/garage was I think the first of your videos I watched. I will really enjoy this one.

If you are wondering why this sort of video is so popular? I think it's because people can relate to these old cars more than fancy Bugatti or McLarens. You are bringing these back to life, the process brings back peoples memories...

My late father had an A40 in the 60's, the car was turquoise and black, it was 8370JW and the car came from Kings of Oxford at Bromborough. I can remember him fitting lap seat belts, changing the half shaft bearings on our drive in Bebington.  I can remember riding around in the boot of the car when we had visitors taking up all the normal seats!

Bens Channel is my number one channel on you tube keep up the great work Ben 🙂

Sonny is bloody hilarious

47:19 You're absolutely correct about Derek here Ben. He has helped so many club members with all his hard work. We're very lucky!

I looked at the no. Plate and I thought it said nut job 😆 🤣

Great to see a youngster in the engineering department enjoying an old engine refurbishment- brilliant.
Keep it up
