1952 Ferrari barnfind + vintage race cars

[@harpersneil]

I've been watching KZbin pretty avidly for nearly 15 years; I watch mostly, science, engineering and motoring videos. This was honestly one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever seen. The chemistry between you two, the shared passion and enthusiasm was magic. Thank you SO much for allowing us to view your epic collection.

[@th3b0untyhunter]

It's a lovely thing, but it isn't a Ferrari. It's an aftermarket body that was put onto a Ferrari chassis by people other than the factory. It had no real known race history with the vignale body and now contains nothing at all from the real car. All that said I'm very happy It's been saved and is going to be fitted out with a copy of its original chassis and a proper Colombo V12, just so long as no one tries to pass it off as the real deal

Jonny, I love the way you get a down to earth and honest conversation with your guests and the obvious emotion and devotion comes through. It is gripping and pulls at your heart strings as a viewer, plus pure envy and desire sparks too. Will was just another fantastic guest and your comment on how we forget about manufacturers and history gone by is correct. We are getting to a point where large parts of car history is getting lost to the archives. But shows like yours help to bring it back and document it for our future. Well done and good effort. Never make this into a proper TV show as it would get ruined by production and commercialism. You tube has its bad points, but this show is an example of why you tube can also be great.

Not to be fatalistic, but one of my favorite parts is the impermanence of this incredible automotive history. When this lovely man passes sadly, so too may a wealth of knowledge and long held memories. I hope more like him share their experience and learned histories, to pass the torch onward, as these incredible machines become more and more rare/decayed. This is a lesson in appreciating and sharing what we have while we can enjoy that. While vital info to the projects can be shared if pertinent folks care, please do! People care! Enjoy what you can on this Earth and realize that artifacts are all around us with the right context, junk is treasure to some and treasure is junk to others. It’s about perspective.

Just to expand on the racing Ferrari right hand drive point and Jonny's comment re Italian driving; Italy drove on the left in the early years and Lancia continued to make its cars in right hand drive for the Italian market right up until the early 1950's.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Martin, thanks for this info. I had no idea.

[@ramdynebix]

I may be wrong, but older Italians would order right hand drive cars for as long as they could, even though traffic had long gone left hand drive.

[@musiccylinderK6]

In addition to what Will said in the video, italian race cars continued to be RHD for a while because the clockwise oval tracks (right turns only) had no real pit area that was physically separated from the track by a barrier: cars would keep to the right on one of the straights, and with RHD cars drivers could get in and out of the car away from traffic rather than towards the speeding cars

[@benzinapaul7416]

Another reason was it was deemed safer to be driving on the same side as the kerb when in deep fog which most of northern Italy suffers from in winter

[@alexbrown1995]

@@musiccylinderK6 I think that was the reason that the Ford GT40 was RHD - just to make it safer in the pit area at Le Mans

Another great video and it's hard to imagine all the stuff out there in barns.
