Of all the Novas and sisters ( Ventura-Phoenix, Omega, Apollo -Skylark made, from a engineering point of view the 75-79's were the best.

I thought the car James met on the bridge was a Alvis ( check out the radiator ornament ). Interesting that in this new series Lord Hulton seems to be dating young Helen, when in the books and the 79-90's series lord Hulton is well middle aged and married to Lady Hulton and Helen is dating Richard Edmonson. Lord Hulton in the 79-90's series; Also in this new series you are correct Al, that there is a lack of blood, guts, feces. Do you remember the smock covered in blood after Siegfried did a post Mortem on Hulton's horse? Remember the scenes of Jeff the knackerman's yard? I love the calving scene on Mr. Dinsdale heifer? Poor James, ( Christopher Timothy ) has his arm all the way in the heifer's uterus trying to turn a mislaid breach presentation when the heifer urinates all over his arm and left side. That series was REAL!

So the moral to the story; change the oil and filter at a reasonable "mileage" or "time" ( whichever comes first) and you don't have to worry about sludge. " Automobile" News and reviews May 2020 said this about the car and engine; Lampredi Engine While the 124 Sedan came standard with a pushrod inline-four, Fiat hired ex-Ferrari four-cylinder engine designer Aurelio Lampredi to create a new dual-overhead cam cylinder head to fit on a slightly modified 124 block. The belt-driven Fiat twin-cam engine that resulted was highly praised and went on to become a Fiat group staple, doing duty in Fiats, Lancias and even some Alfa Romeos into the 1990s. The engine also became the winningest engine of all time in the World Rally Championship.

Correct, a world automobile. Engineering from G.M. U.S.A., Isuzu, Holden, Opel, and last but maybe least Vauxhall no less.

Al, did you see the Road tour Christopher Timothy and Peter Davison about a few years back in a Morgan touring around England and Wales? Those guys were all young in the 79-92 series. Timothy is 81 now, Davison is about 70. Vintage Roads (TV Series 2018–2019) - IMDb Time flies

You'll have to play this to see the little red car/delivery van he's on about that's in the background about 29.56 into the episode; All Creatures Great and Small 2020 S 1 E 2 - video Dailymotion

This is the Rover of Siegfried's that Tristan ripped the L- doors off.

Not in the 1978-92 rendition! James; Tristan:

Jeez, not much of it. 29.56 All Creatures Great and Small 2020 S 1 E 2 - video Dailymotion

Also, PBS Masterpiece Theater runs the previous episode ( my time would be 4:00PM ) on Sunday afternoon, then runs the current one at 8:pm. This not only allows you to refresh your memory, but also a chance to see the past episode if you missed it.

Yes, Siegfried is under the impression that Tristan passed all his exams so he gives him a gift, a black Austin sedan.

They look like they're part of the body side molding Correct?

John, Who would have thought? A 59 Bel-Air four door sedan with a Continental kit ! Plus a Roof rack. I've seen plenty roof racks on wagons, but not a Chevy sedan.

No , just like air bags, side curtains. They'll take care of it.

Terry, would have to be pre 1934 because of the bicycle wings, that car looks like fun!

Here it is; all creatures great and small series 2 episode six faint hearts BYW the opening shots have Watersplash in it! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi20cXmu5_uAhUSR6wKHYkbD5gQwqsBMAB6BAgCEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymotion.com%2Fvideo%2Fx5rtx2z&usg=AOvVaw2bv2avieeScOlJKjZAe1x0

Something you should know about in that 1978-90's series. The actors under vet supervision were allowed to do many more procedures on the animals than they are today. Everything in that series really seemed real which was the goal, including dented cars. A example; James and Tristan are called out to remove a growth on a colt. There was a miscommunication and when they get to the farm they find out that this colt is a six year old stallion, a mean stallion. When Christopher Timothy ( James Herriot) gets into the loose box with this horse the horse starts lashing out with his hind leg nearing slicing him up. All on film. These guys had a lot of guts!

Anyone know what kind of car Julia Taviner is driving? This shot 1978-1990's series she is mauling Tristan while Mrs. Hall and friends look on in horror just outside of Skeldale House ( in the real town called Askrigg ). ASKRIGG's Skeldale house was Siegfried's house and surgery in that series ( shot through three decades)was In Darrowby In the books and in T.V. they live in Darrowby. In real life they live in Thirsk. In the books Siegfried and Tristan have a mother that lives in Broughton. In real life their mother lived in Harrogate.

Are you referring to the 1978-1991 series? If you are, that's not the case.

Like I said above Charles; Though both "A" bodies are the same body length from the cowl back, but Chevrolet has 115" wheelbase and Pontiac is 120". It's all in the front end for the straight eight. Hood and front fenders are longer. Longer means weight and leveraged weight multiplies. If fact Oldsmobile "A" body wheelbase is 1/2" shorter than Pontiac as well.

Reverse Continental kit; Two wheeler with a continental kit

And even though not offered in those days a back up camera would have to be a must!

The Austin 12/4 destroying the Darrowby golf club hut. Obviously these cars were not pristine to do things like this to.

Fore Gill Gate near Langthwaite, North Yorkshire is right next to Watersplash. Watersplash is pictured in Herriot's picture book James Herriot's Yorkshire and the caption says Watersplash. It is a local term, The only way I found it was to ask in the pub in Langthwaite Famous for being a location used in the opening titles of the 1970's tv series 'All creatures great and small'. Located high on the moors in the Yorkshire Dales. There is Fore gate with watersplash in the foreground.
