Default "destruction Testing - of British made cars (1950s)

you know how it is - you go onto YouTube for one thing then something totally unconnected follows.

My Dad owned a garage in the '50s and '60s selling BMC cars and trucks, but he always drove a Jaguar and I drove Fords (Anglia, 2 x Cortinas, 2 x Escorts, a Mondeo, 3 x Scorpios etc).

He always told me to not retain a car with more than 50,000 miles on the clock as the engine/gearbox would be shot. I often did, and they often were!

Can you imagine regarding a 50,000 mile engine being worn out now!

Enjoy this :
