ha ha, its amazing how easy it is to overlook some mistakes, but when you pointed it out, i thought "Im blind, i didnt see that". Smashing, you can repair anything you clever man :-) Wonder how they got that way in the first place...... hmm odd. That car looks really decent underneath :-)

Man just getting around to YouTube been busy. Love the update. Car looks pretty clean, the pie-slices in the exhaust brings back memories. Glad you got the brakes worked out, what diameter are those rotors?

ren waldo commented on 09 Oct 2015

duh, I worked on a car for two days and shop told me it was a bad master cylinder, then after two hours at the shop it struck them, wrong side, ha ha ha cost me two hundred more to learn that.

zx8401ztv commented on 24 Mar 2013

yep that makes sense, but it was still a daft mistake for someone to have made, but you have corrected that error now :-) I dont know about you but brakes are just a tad important lol :-)

alex993cc1 commented on 24 Mar 2013

i think someone else put them on like that. then to get it to bleed they reverse bled it so you push the fluid up from the fitting back to the master cylinder not the other way around :)

alex993cc1 commented on 28 Mar 2013

family policy is if something will make the job easier, dont fuck around, get it :), you will always use it again

alex993cc1 commented on 28 Mar 2013

not sure, diameter TINY LOL dan will be installing the detomaso calipers and rotors soon :)

Aussie50 commented on 24 Mar 2013

RARE 1957 Maserati 300S at Spa (Beautiful Sound)

Another beautiful car we saw at the Spa Classic was the 1957 Maserati 300S. The further you go back in the history of cars the more beautiful they appear to be.

The 300 S racing number 6 currently is the property of the german family Werner. This car S/N 3059 was the winner of the 1000 km of Nürburgring in 1956, with Moss, Behra, Taruffi and Schell at the wheel. Great car, great sound!

HistoricRacingHD commented on 10 Oct 2015

Hehe, no problem :)

Carlos Degol commented on 10 Oct 2015

+Carlos Degol No, I made a mistake, racing number 7 is s/n 3060. Sorry...................

Carlos Degol commented on 21 Sep 2015

+HistoricRacingHD I really do not know about the Mazda Wankel powered. I remember I saw 3059 at the french "Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or" at the Montlhéry race track, maybe some twenty years ago. Max Werner was at the Wheel, a really great racing driver.Regarding the various 300 S in your vid, I wonder if the #7 is 3055, winner of the 1000 km of Paris located on the "Autodrome de Montlhéry" in 1956 driven by Behra and Rosier......

HistoricRacingHD commented on 21 Sep 2015

+Carlos Degol There might be more than one Maserati 300S' in this vid! Can't fully remember but thanks for sharing the info, very interesting! By the way, are you talking about the Werners that got the chance to drive the Mazda 767B at the Spa Classic in 2014?

AaronArmstrong030792 commented on 22 Jul 2015

Classic beauty. Excellent.

HistoricRacingHD commented on 23 Jul 2015

+AaronArmstrong030792 A beauty indeed! Thanks

Peter Pretorius commented on 22 Jul 2015

Very rare car. What a distinctive and awsome sound. The car is moved by a skillfull driver. Thanks for uploading. Greetings Peter

HistoricRacingHD commented on 22 Jul 2015

+Peter Pretorius Thanks! I like that the car isn't very loud, its sound is civilized and pretty quite actually but when it comes through it actually sounds very, very nice.

Yup, it's an A series engine but it isn't out of an MG MIdget. They were all rear wheel drive. It should have the size cast into the side of the block, either 948 , 1098 or 1275cc. This engine did go into a lot of cars but usually were rebadged if different from MG. I'm rebuilding an Austin Healey bugeye sprite with this sweet little engine and it was badged "Austin." Same engine,different badge. I'll post some pics for my AH forum members. Someone should know exactly what they are from.

WillHirsch1 commented on 25 Jul 2009

If it were used on the 1300 model, it would have to have been, at the latest 1973 as that was the last year it was built. It wouldn't be from a Magnette as they used the B series engine. I guess some of these had the engines hotted up and rallyed. With off set over bores and a hot cam, these little engines could really fly. Of course, the cars they were fitted in hardly weighed anything. There are aftermarket super chargers if you really want some seriously silly dangerous fun.

novelist10 commented on 25 Jul 2009

it is a 1275 cc mg a series engine, likely from a sedan, since its front wheel drive. to the right crowd, its worth 3 or 400 hundred bucks. depending on if it runs or not of course. the carbs are 1 1/4 su's, and it makes around 50 horsepower. hahahahahah. i have this engine in the red daily driver midget, though that is a rear wheel drive car. may be a mg magnette? good find my friend, i'd think of something to use it for.

WillHirsch1 commented on 25 Jul 2009

The AH forum members are lobbying pretty hard for it being a 1100 or 1300 MG (econo box sedan). The later Metro and Maestro both had single carbs. They do have a following but it's kind of small so your neighbor might get more by parting them out since many of the parts will fit front and rear wheel drive versions of that engine. Kind of sad, in a way, but likely.

g0fvt commented on 27 Jul 2009

It looks like an A series, from an MG saloon, either 1098cc or 1275cc. The alternator suggests it was a fairly late model.These cars were fitted with 13" wheels. The MG was a slightly hotter version than the Austin, twin carbs etc. Apart from the gearing this was similar to the power plant in the Mini 1275GT.

uptomyassinsnow commented on 23 Jul 2009

Twin SU's, could be from an original Mini or Mini Cooper. Should be about 1295 cc displacement (!.3 L) Might say on one of the tags on the block. All my old Mini friends are either dead ort have dropped out of sight. I'll see if anyone I know has an idea.

NathansBackwoods commented on 22 Jul 2009

it looks like it came out of somthing like a european van, because the engine is mounted in front of the axle, so thats my guess, or it could be a rear mounted engine out of a little v w, that may be a better guess

rpeek commented on 25 Jul 2009

I don't think my neighbor would mind parting it out. Does seem kind of like a shame though.. Cute little thing, I'm almost curious to see if I can crank it just so I can see what it sounds like. Any idea what year?

superbran2008 commented on 23 Jul 2009

its the british A series enjin they used the same enjin in a lot of cars / vans but chainged the gear box on some of them but i canot reely recognise theis gear box !! may be MG MIDGET or similar

rpeek commented on 24 Jul 2009

Yea, I thought about pourin' a little gas in the carbs and firing her over, just to see if she'd crank... Only thing is, if she did, I'd have to build a car to fit it... hahah

rpeek commented on 11 Oct 2009

Thanks for the info.. I actually sold it. The guy that bought it knew exactly what it was, and left with a big grin on his face. Good to have found it a home..

novelist10 commented on 25 Jul 2009

and if the numbers are cast into it by the cylinder head i believe. or on a tag riveted in place by the cylinder head.

rpeek commented on 11 Oct 2009

I got $100 for the two. Don't think we'll get rich of'n um..
