[@TedwardDrives]

Special thanks to @therealbondgroup for inviting me to feature this incredible Italian classic grand tourer. What’s your favorite GT from the era?

[@johneldepresso]

Aston Martin V8 Vantage series 2 Though that was made in the 70’s but still And there’s also the Toyota 2000GT

[@marcomarco6430]

Plenty to choose from: Ferrari 250 Lusso, Mistral spider, Maserati Vignale spider, Ferrari 275 GTB...

@Brett Kaiser Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !

[@albertseabra9226]

A fabulous car, everything is fantastic. Shifting gears produced a swiss watch like sound. If this vehicle were available today, brand new, people would be kicking the doors down to buy her. Thank you for this unique experience.

[@chinmaymahajan7778]

Instead of having all Multifuctional TFT screens in todays cars, those Circular gauges are all you'll ever need.

[@TedwardDrives]

I’m in love with this dashboard. It’s got it all!

[@saucyp123]

This car is so beautiful. I LOVE these POV videos of these old machines - I'm pretty young, so I don't have much exposure to them. I love how the tachometer is always trying its best to represent what's going on with the engine, but it can't quite cut it haha

[@simoncasson3327]

A proper car. Stunning. All the old noises... click-click of gearchanges, the whine and those revs from that 6 cylinder from 2500 revs... music.

[@alexanderswander8176]

Wow all of those dials with the chrome are fantastic!

[@thevolvobrickchallenge5650]

Topher puts out a 2020 Maserati video a day ago and it I'm mildly entertained by its 500 hp V8 engine with 4 different suspension/ launch modes. Tedward put's out a 1965 Maserati video and I'm totally stoked before even hitting play!

I am watching your Videos now for about a month and i want to say... i love your videos! There is no such things as Clockbait, the videos have a good quality and i can see the passion in the videos. You are living my dream, keep up with the quality and you will be big in soon time.

[@TedwardDrives]

Wicked kind of you to say. Thank you!

[@danieleregoli812]

When cars were proper jewels. My grandfather (who was a Chaffeur for a wealthy family back in the day) often told me about how wonderful this exact same car was in its day. He loved it. More than any other car. He got to 240Kmh (150mph) on an a very empty Italian autostrada in Italy whilst driving it on a summer's afternoon in 1966...

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

MY GOD IT SOUNDS SO GOOD

Your respect for the car shows in the way you shift through gears and this car commands respect

[@TedwardDrives]

Enjoy it!!

[@robertrishel3685]

Stunning car, inside and out...every inch of it...just beautiful.

[@enriquebesteiro4412]

Love to see such a great classic on the road. Thanks very much for showing this true jewel. A true Gran Turismo focused on a discreet clientel that didn't want to show off. True connoisseurs that knew what they were purchasing. So, making the usual comparison with Ferrari... Hmm.. The Italian marques at the time shouldn't be reduced to the 'black horse' and the rest. Lancia, Alfa, Isotta Fraschini were truly big big names at the time. A Sebring and a 250.... 2 different animals in my opinion. Shouldn't be considered as a second option if you can't afford the other one. Thanks for the video!

[@TedwardDrives]

The interior and dashboard are nearly identical. It would be criminal not to compare it to the 250GT! Plus this is an easier car with better road manners. Not to mention a proper 5 speed instead of the electronic overdrive

[@dinoboss1948]

I wonder if there's a single one with Lucas injection system left, that has to be one of the least reliable parts ever put in a vehicle lol

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

Many people in UK can make them good without too much trouble. It was standard on 2.5 saloon and TR6. Trouble is, it can fuel a fire under the wrong conditions. They changed to twin carbs 'cause they were less trouble though, so point taken. We really let down the Amerians with the Stag, which could have been great with the Rover 215 V8 , ex Buick. (A ramble).

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

dinoboss lol, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGqnlYpnZa9lbck Here’s a different car with it. (It is my only video, sadly it’s on carbs on that video, sounds a lot like the masseatti now. 1974 Triumph 2500

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

dinoboss incredibly unreliable. But brilliant!

[@sturmeko]

Jay Leno has a video about one with Lucas injection, however it's a previous model, not exactly this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qILCZ6ShZsZ5pLM

[@RobertNES816]

The sound of that shifter and that gear wine oof what a car!

[@oilman930]

Nice car, very nice actually. Too bad about the missing Lucas Petrol Injection. Some person spent a great amount of time, energy and money on restoring this car, but decided to save a buck by not restoring the Petrol Injection. It’s like the restoration not complete without it.

[@davidmcleod682]

I think it's because when they built this model ,the 'cars for kings' reputation began, racing pedigree and timeless style, check the side profile of this machine... classically beautiful, elegance and power. Love this car.

[@CPMUNSEY]

What a lovely machine and the tone of the exhaust sounds fabulous.👌🏽

[@TedwardDrives]

I love the evolution of the sound from idle to redline...its wild how evocative these were

[@CPMUNSEY]

Tedward yes I agree,esp back in the 60’s! Driving that would’ve been quite the feeling.

Beautiful video and a beautiful car, the only thing that I missed is a close-up of the gauges cluster and full throttle sound in first and second gear. I know it’s an old expensive beautiful car and someone else trusted you with it but just one pull almost to the redline would’ve been epic. Thumb up anyway.

[@TedwardDrives]

Haha thank you. I try to enjoy them respectfully, especially when they are inventory.

I'm all for respecting the cars and being considerate of their age, but on this one it doesn't even sound like you got into the power band 😅 The old Jag 120 was something else! 😍

[@TedwardDrives]

Indicated redline on the tach is 5k RPM...It very well may rev out higher but I'm not going beyond a redline on an unfamiliar car

[@ProjectHeaven]

Stunning car!

3:14 ....I think you catch the bad guys that way and I'll take the scenic route this way. 12:02.....let's call it a day before this town is talking about a red classic Maserati all over the police radio. Nice analog feeling car, with a classic/simple yet refined metal and wood interior we just don't get anymore! That gearbox must have been rewarding to get right and those long shifts...

Strange, but the one I owned had a lot of aluminium body parts like the bonnet and boot. NOT all steel bodywork at all. It did however have a chassis made out of oval steel piping including over the roof (which acted like a roll cage)

@@TedwardDrives there are i believe only 1847 sport GTS in the world but they might just be the best sounding and looking sedan ever made!

[@alexbernier6154]

Since Stellantis owns both Maserati and Chrysler, Chrysler should share the old Mercedes platform (300) that they've done absolutely nothing with in almost 10 years so they can build the ultimate 60's inspired grand tourer based on the 300 letter cars and the Maserati GT's of the early 60s. The Maseratis and Chryslers in that era were pretty much the nicest cars in the world at that point. I would have taken either over a contemporary RR or Cadillac.

[@KirkTheGod]

Not sure if you're still in contact with the owner but, the pops from the exhaust during overrun and the way it holds rpm before falling back down during shifts sounds like the idle circuit is running a bit too lean. Might just need half a turn out on each idle screw or one size up in jetting. Might be worth letting them know

[@TedwardDrives]

Will do! The rev hang would be lovely to eliminate

[@アマ-p2l]

Reliability, mostly. Fuel injection of this era was... primitive, to say the least, and most enthusiasts will have likely ditched it, nearly 60 years later.

[@JMartinni]

3:50 I don't think an automatic would have been "innovative" in 1962. Automatic transmissions were around several decades by then.

[@アマ-p2l]

Unveiled at the 1976 Paris Motor Show, the Ferrari 400 was the first Ferrari to offer an automatic transmission. Maybe he was referring to "innovative" as far as italian cars go.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

Automatics were very rarely used on European cars up until modern times. Most major car makers didn't even make their own but bought them from Ford, GM, or Chrysler, or third party makers like Borg-Warner, ZF, or Getrag. Mercedes famously made their own automatic transmission, something Rolls Royce couldn't afford, so they as well as Ferrari had to buy them from GM.
