Awesome vid. A little short but nonetheless great.

Just seen the number plate 1 NEH I know the guy who owns 2 NEH

Anyone interested in its build / progress. WHAT IS IT ? - CAN WE START IT AFTER 20 YEARS ua-cam.com/video/2GdVSOR_uTM/v-deo.html thanks again Paul. Dad a happy man

What an ignorant, ill informed review. There's not a single Citroen component in this Silver Shadow or any of their technology used.

It's not only the engine and the suspension but it is also the weight distribution. This was the key factor why Keichi Tsuchiya likes this car's light weight, balanced weight and old school rear wheel drive.

The first I knew of these cars was in the mid 80s when someone did a one off with the 2.2l turbo motor out of a Shelby Charger - and painted it in Santa Fe Blue and Silver. Never saw one in real life here in the States until years later. Neat little car - and, as others have mentioned, reminded me of a Fiero, but with better lines.

😂😂😂😂😂😂(toilet)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So i bought one after this video, its a stage 3 from Pumaspeed, Just tested the mpg Got 65.1 mpg 800 miles on a full tank.

I raced on I74 Michigan at 127mph and Wom,beating Alfa V6 and a hoy rod Chevy V8 super charged

Mark hamil Corvette summer

Spotted in pl street polish number plate

What a great looking car.

Great car in the day I had a black RS2000 Custom reg PRN640T long gone I am sad to say

Great vid, didnt learn much but enjoyed the way you explained a Clan. Dont think I've seen one in that colour. Beautiful tho

Theres mint ones getting raffled every single week on irish raffle sites.

My Dad bought this car off John Harwood in 1962 and raced it in 1172 for about 5 years. It looked quite different then.

Fast forward to the mid 90s? Oi, dickhead, i engineered the Michael Shield and Steve Palmer 6R4s. Sadly Michael joined Steve on Thursday. Learn your motorsport history and show some respect to the RX 6R4 LEGENDS.

Great video. I viewed it several times!!!

One of my all-time favourites, the P6 3500. The P6 shape still looks sharp 60 years on and with that engine, pure class (with a minor hooligan element)!

Actually a few people do sneer it’s just a kit car regarding at least the earlier Lotus models.

I can tell you why the (Met I think) order was cancelled. The mk1-2 Mondeo was too fragile for use as a police car. Soft wheels, suspension, the head gaskets on the 2.5 aren't up to service work either. The brake discs aren't very good quality and the bumpers & bodywork are too soft.

Out dragged by the Vectra 2.5/2.6 however, not 200 bhp.

Ford did the Cortina trim level, Saxon did the song and Clan built the sports car

Whilst I liked these cars as a Kid, the description as a perceived British version of a Mustang is completely wrong. Rover was the Bank manager car, When small town bank managers were a big deal, if regarded as a bit pompous more Captain Mainwaring than Steve McQueen. Although admired (the Queen had a P5) Rovers were never, ever cool. They Kinda should have been, given the V8 had good power and way more cylinders than anything else, also Rover couldn't have got much less power from the engine, it was so undertuneed. The real kicker though was the shape, in a time when aerodynamics, collision performance were an undiscovered country , it had real flair, similar to the Citroen DS in some respects, a proper individual, I dont think Rover execs quite knew what they had in the P6. Maybe if they had a 4L GT version with Webbers and a suspension, Rover might have shaken it's stolid, conservative and Conservative gentlemanly image that dogged it forever.

Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my UA-cam channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....

They were killed off by a change in the way cars were taxed as they became too expensive compared to their competitors. I had a lime green one for several years back in the day, chassis number 131. It was quite unusual as it did not have a sunroof. LJK Setright the renowned motoring journalist wrote a great article about the Clan after testing one. He spent a lot of time on the industrial estate in Washington enjoying the Clan’s handling on the big but virtually unused roundabouts there. The whole report was written in Geordie. I’m sure it was for Car magazine. I would love to read it again. He said that the Clan was the best handling car that he had ever driven in the wet.

My first car was a Poseidon Blue 2001 VTR. I loved that car more than anything. Unfortunately wrote it off going too fast round a corner lifting off 😩. Replaced it with 2 more VTRs, then hit the big league and finally could insure an Icelandic Blue VTS. Which I ruined by lowering too much 😔. Replaced that by a Xsara VTS, that was miles faster and super comfy. Unfortunately it looked horrific and sold it for a Racing Blue 5:51 Clio 182. Ahhh to be 22 again 😢😢

The best review ever

Clan was clever good looking but deeply underdeveloped. The self assembly tax loop hole long predated 1973 and VAT. The first production fibreglass monocoque that was the Lotus Elite. The Johnny Blades car wasn't properly sorted intil Kenny Allen bought it. Imp engine wasn't a Coventry Climax design it was a Rootes design inspired by the Coventry Climax FWM but there are a huge number of fundamental differences.

Just a shame you didn't take the time to talk to Alan Conley who could have given you a lot more background.

One has to admire the effort and the quality of the build. But the wheel selection, not so much. Far too large for the body mass of the car - they make it look silly and like it's running on tiptoes.

Great fun, never see Martin without a smile.

I had a mk 2 RS2000 back in the eighties. Good times.

??? Lotus Elite was a composite monocoque production car launched in 1957....earlier than the Clan. Davrian also, though it too took the self assembly route due to Vat.

Great video - thanks for posting. It seems like many of the Clan Crusaders, are still on the road, in the UK at least. I wonder if any made it here to New Zealand?

Great gideo love the anime style filter and comic strip bits

Love the car

The V12 suck they drop valve seats!!

Brake fluid/handbrake warning light on!

I accidentally saw your 8 year video on tvr tuscan, i see you have posted for last 9 years. I see you videos are not reaching enough audience and ther fore less views, I would suggest you to get in touch in a SEO specialist fot UA-cam, to reach a bigger audience. Please do not take my comment in a wrong way. I said this because i see you commitment to put out car content even though the view less for lot of videos and i hope my suggestion helps. And i will leave a like on few videos for start to get the algorithm going cause we need people who put good car content. Cheers.

Stop sayin farbia its bloody fabia

Good to see a review in Barton 👍

Mega impressive. A fantastic build. I'm surprised it is allowed to keep its original identity (M reg Crusader, etc) and have the requisite number of 'points' having been re-shelled and re-'engined', etc.

Watching this 5 years later .. still an excellent video.. (Phil.. Rover P6 owner)

AMEN!

I have owned two, best cars I have had ever. 😊

such an awsome car

Brilliant review ❤
