Double DISCO VOLANTE Drive! Visiting a Connoisseur's Car Collection

Join me to visit a true connoisseur's car collection featuring both the Touring Disco Volante Coupe and Spyder! Sitting alongside a Berlinetta Lusso, two Alfa Romeo 8Cs, an SLS Final Edition and Vanquish Zagato, let's take a look around these incredibly rare cars before taking both Disco Volantes out for a drive!
Touring build the Disco Volante on a donor Alfa Romeo 8C; the Competizione for the Coupe, or the Spyder for the open top variant, so it retains the 4.7l V8 and semi-automated gearbox with a truly glorious sound. The bodywork is entirely re done with beaten aluminium in a completely new design, along with a re-trimmed interior in a completely bespoke way created with the owner along the process.
While there are only a total of 8 Disco Volante Coupes and 7 Disco Volante Spiders, sitting alongside them is the Berlinetta Lusso, one of just 5 cars based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Next up are the two Alfa Romeo 8Cs, first the Competizione coupe painted as a one-off in the original Disco Volante colour and next an 8C Spyder with a few Touring touches. Beyond those are the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Volante and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition. Each car in the collection has a story, is from a limited build run and is truly a collectible vehicle.
The day ahead of us features discovery of both Disco Volantes; first up an outing in the Coupe, followed by the Spyder, to appreciate the fact that these cars exist and purely enjoy the experience. Combining the stunning exhaust note with the beautiful weather, and the amazing opportunity to drive these two cars together, what could be better! I must extend a huge thank you to the owner of the private collection for the invitation to not only visit the garage but also to experience these cars on the road.
Thanks for watching, Tim

This is truly a connoisseur's car collection with not one, but two Touring Disco Volantes! Better still, on a day with beautiful weather and surrounded by some amazing roads, to complete the dream we take them both out for a drive to enjoy the glorious sound of their V8s and what they represent as bespoke coachbuilt cars. A huge thanks goes to the owner of these fabulous cars for the opportunity to enjoy and share them!

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

INSTANTLY STOPPED WHAT I WAS DOING AND CLICKED!!! Thanks Tim. I still maintain today that the Disco Volante is one of the best looking cars of all time. I will never forget the day I was lucky enough to see one in real life. 👌

[@annalindhout3251]

You have watchers from all ages and countries, because I'm a girl of 13 from the Netherlands. Please make much more videos like this and even more people will like you. Love you❤️

[@GTIracerr]

What a day this must have been. 2 of those rare beauties out in Austria. Ever since the Top Gear episode featuring the Disco Volante, this is one of my favourite coach build cars. What a lovely piece of art. Awesome that you were granted the opportunity, Tim!

[@Shmee150]

This is absolutely a day I will not forget, a complete dream to experience them both in this way. A huge thanks goes to the owner that it was possible!

[@GTIracerr]

@Charlie M. Thanks. I guess you're right. I was put off by today's Instagram announcement.. :)

Touring is just a level above everything else. Real coach building cannot be replaced by anything modern.

[@dsd174]

Those specific 4 Alfa Romeos are a huge and important piece on my dream garage (that I can't afford to buy even in diecast models). Those are not just cars, they are poetry, they are the Monalisas of the "'recent" years. I'd leave the F40s, F50s, 959s, 918s, Mclarens, Lambos, Bugattis and many other super and/or hyper cars to the ones without imagination, to the ones in a hurry. Mr. Owner, whoever you are, thank you very very much for allowing this video to be made and my very respectful congratulations for such good taste.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

The Otis Redding exhaust. 👌

[@marino4691]

[@lastdragonx]

@@Shmee150 Which exhaust was added to this? You said it was slightly modified

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

I have an immense amount of respect for Touring and Zagato. I dunno what it is with these Italian coach builders. For those fans of classic Aston Martins like the DB4-6. These were the companies that brought us those cars as we know them. Honestly they hold a special place in my heart. Occasionally they just bring what is to me a sculpture on wheels. Big thanks to the guy that owns this collection.

[@gassasin3969]

Random car guy: How many special cars have you seen in person? And how many have you driven? Shmee: Yes

[@gkstanfield]

Such a stunning collection...and the navy/cream Disco Volante Coupé is just an absolute dream car! Thank you, Tim...truly.

[@BRAINFxck10]

The metallic white 8C Spider is actually my favorite, what a perfect spec!

[@ahmedmahdi1908]

I think the DESCO VOLANTE is one of the most beautiful,if not the most beautiful car ever produced in the Twenty first century.I love the way it looks . Thank you Tim for such a nice review.

[@embakubmotoring]

They aren't cars for everyone but man these are so special, I can imagine how easy it is to excuse the old school gearbox, that sound is utterly spectacular, I remember the old Top Gear when Clarkson was testing one, that clip as well was really special.

[@aviatorskool]

Please Tim more Colab videos, they are a such a big treat. Supercar Blondie, SOL London, Salomondrin or even better a sit down with YTers as you did many many moons ago in 2017 with Paul Wallace, Seb Delanney and Mr JWW.

[@fuelledup2861]

avaya Phones Tim has great content already and doesn’t need to do colabs for either the content or to boost views. He is busy enough and his videos don’t need additional people to improve them. The others probably could do with the help to gain extra views for their videos and improve them no end with Tims input. As far as I see the colab would only a benefit the others rather than Tim, especially Seb and Sol. Obviously Mr JWW and Solomondrin have great content too and again their schedules will make it hard but all three have a different style to their content. In summary Tim is doing fine and has no need to add anything to the channel

I assume that that's southern Bavaria,since the cars have gernan numberplates (even though they're registered in Berlin) and you are close to the mountains. I'm personally not to fond of the front but I like the rear. It reminds me of a jaguar F-type
