I think Sterling Moss was the Greatest over all Driver. he competed in Formula 1, Production Cars, the Mille Miglia, even held Land Speed Records at Bonneville

Superb! A peach of a car...

I first fell in love with this car in 1965 . When Ann Francis drove one in the TV program Honey West. A couple years later and Shelby would bring out his AC Cobra. It really doesn't leave much to want, but, I just like the AC ACE.

Lol, I found a real "barn find" just a few miles from the Prescott location where this was filmed !

I have worked on this very car at JME Healy’s in Warwick ❤❤

Great car...beautiful

Wonderful video!

Replica

wasted opportunity to display the car....

Stunning film - Pure racing - Thank you so much. LOTUS is synonymous with the following icon of the sport: JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio, Senna, Prost, Stewart and countless others about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... ! This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius..

PLEASE CONTACT IF FOR SALE NOW ?… THANK YOU !!!

PLEASE CONTACT IF STILL FIR

IS IT STILL FOR SALE ?

Would have been nice to see the engine compartment .

Lol... noteworthy... Understatement is under-appreciated.

F...bulshit

a perhaps picayune complaint, but one that is annoying nonetheless. If I wanted to listen to music... good bad or indifferent, I would listen to music videos. But, I am here to see cars and listen the beautiful notes they make. Why do so many amateur video makers seem to want to show off their video software prowess by cluttering their otherwise fine movies with annoying music that drowns out the sound of the cars???? I really don't give a shit if you know how to use video software.. or even worse, fancy yourself as the next David Attenborough... shut your mouths, turn off the music and let the car sing.!!!!

Just the best base for a resto mod. Would it be possible to get a v8 and transaxle in one?

Is it 3,8? s1?

Fangio

RIP Simon

Such a pretty car, prefer it this way than a 🐍 beautiful!

Fabulous video production, superb car...subscribed! Thank you.

Some things are just Special! Like they were made by Angels!

Great documentary. Please keep making videos of this level for KZbin

Great lil cars. Such was I from 1963 to 1998. Won the Div 1 GTP championship locally in '97. Won every race but one and sneezed a motor that time.

Can you show us the car??

That’s no Renault engine in there!

Going to miss this man, RIP Simon Diffey. Trully gentleman and a fantastic racer. Lovely to meet you

One of the best video I've seen in the last 6 months!!🤩🤩

An older man in a Jaguar XK150 Roadster is up early to watch some track action between a couple of Jaguar-powered race cars. The engine of a Lister Jaguar can be heard struggling and mis-firing as it’s test driven. When the Lister Jag comes in for adjustments, a mechanic pulls the fuel line from his motorcycle to be used as a stethescope, and the man in the XK150 starts his stopwatch. The fuel line tuning technique is right out of the Jaguar Workshop Manual. The mechanic listens to and compares the air flow through multiple carbureators and quickly adjusts each butterfly valve until all the carbs are in perfect balance. The Lister Jag goes back on the track making perfect engine sounds. The man in the XK150 pulls out a business card to give the young mechanic. At that point we learn he’s ‘Lofty’ England manager of the Jaguar Works Racing Team, which dominated LeMans with five outright wins during the 1950s. Brilliant short film with super-rare historic automobiles. Two thumbs up!

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO )

What a beautiful video, it brings back happy memories of my racing formula ford days in Mondello in the early 80s, I would dearly love to do some laps around Goodwood in that beautiful Lotus!. Many thanks and best wishes. Gérard lacey in Ireland.

I’m an Australian that loves jags. I wish I could drive one but there is no air con. Nice one Mumbo!

Friggin Awesome.. Thank you guys.. absolutely what I needed to see when I needed to see it.. DMAX

12:41 The last words in that video describe so well what all this racing is all about. Couldn't have said it better. Beautiful car. Being able to drive that around Goodwood would be the ultimate dream for me.

Good God that is quite a car!! Thanks for the footage of it at Goodwood too! Fantastic!!

One can imagine just how lovely the handling balance must be with the suspension sorted. Four-wheel drifting on the edge of tire adhesion, the car makes the driver look like a star.

And nice camera work too...

A video can be too 'arty' and devoid of real content.

Brilliant little film, simply oozes both quality and genuine love for the little lotus

what car is the coupe with the RUG 73 number plate?

In 1957 I bought a 100-4 as a daily driver and relative to the traffic on B roads in southern British Columbia it was very fast. On acceleration, braking, top speed and handling. Putting the roof up or down was bothersome, as were the side curtains. Outstanding relative to the standard sedans of the day. But because of the short travel of the suspension and low ground clearance they were rather difficult on poor surfaces. In 1964 I bought a 1300 Alfa Romeo Spider and it was significantly better in handling and braking on any kind of road surface and it was more comfortable with wind up windows and you just lifted the roof up and clamped to the top of the windshield. Didn't have to get it out of the trunk. Had 8 Alfas.

Had the great pleasure of having dinner with this great bloke at the RAC once. Rest in peace Simon.

David Shale lived in Brixworth, Northamptonshire. In the mid 60s I used to see him drive his 300sl gullwing in the village

RIP Simon.

RIP Mr. Diffey.

RIP Simon
