Just Drive It: The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

[@rousemotorsport]

I could look at and listen to this car all day long! What a car.

[@eureka5777]

Simon's euphoric reaction is as infectious as the snarling sound of the V12... Wonderful!

[@KidstonProductions]

Thank you for watching!

"Everything you need, and nothing you don't." I NEED a 250 Testa Rossa, and do NOT NEED anything else. Simon is a perfect man to take the Testa Rossa out and give it some good wellie. He clearly enjoys his time behind the wheel. These Kidston videos are addicting. As good as it could ever get........

[@franciscoamaral4383]

Three minutes and seventeen seconds of pure bliss! I can only imagine what it must feel like to savour such senses... Bravo Simon!

I knew the man, Bill Chizar, who rescued this car from the scrap, in 1970. Serial number 0718 was built in 1957 and was entered in the 1958 24 hours of Le Mans by a Belgian team. It DNF. Bill found it in Sacramento and paid $1200 for it with a Chevy engine. He acquired a Testa Rossa engine from another TR that had been destroyed by fire, and over a period of 12 years, he and his brother restored it. Once completed he took best of class at Pebble Beach. I knew him in the late 80s, and although not a rich man , he vintage raced the car at Leguna Seca. Around 1989 or 1990, he sold the car to Norman Baker from Nebraska. Mr. Baker acquired the original matching number engine (0718) and reunited it to the chassis. It was on the cover of Cavilino Magazine. It looks beautiful here in the video. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve seen the car up close. It was beyond stunning then! Thank You for bringing back memories. Is it now based in the UK?

[@splashibanez92]

There's really nothing that compares to a carburated, race bred, italian V12, simply incredible!

[@KidstonProductions]

They are breathtaking

[@shankarbalan3813]

Excellent presentation though very short. What a car!

[@jasonshull3106]

[@jamesdean8669]

"Everything you need, nothing you don't"! Love it!

[@Rico-bj2gy]

I only discovered your channel today but I think it’s become my favourite on KZbin. Bravo sir, all the content I need and nothing I don’t.

[@KidstonProductions]

Thanks and welcome

[@jwmc9263]

Simon Kidston and a Colombo V12- that’s 3 minutes of pure quality. Grazie Mille!

[@pezzonovante888]

I had the Burago model of that exact car. I think it must be the most beautiful car ever made. The shape, the sound. Unreal.

[@Firemarioflower]

I still have a Bburago 1/18 scale. I also have an Altaya (very beautifully detailed) 1:43.

[@cedb7115]

Keep this up Simon! Wonderful

[@samuraijack2611]

That beauty and her sound 😍

[@markbojanjac6805]

The SMILE captures it all!

[@dimi911]

"That is just heaven" sums it up really!

[@shabbos-goy9407]

Fantastic! This is why they are so revered Oh and why they're worth so much!

[@KidstonProductions]

Glad you like it!

[@nigelprice7953]

I imagine that in your line of 'work' 😀 it takes a lot to get the juices flowing. This seemed to do the job. Thanks for the ride.

[@achintyaaatreya]

I love the fact that there's a true petrolhead running this channel.

[@ٴ-ق1ت]

this is one of the few ferraris i really adore im an american muscle and weird old compact car person and this car has a soft spot next to the 250 gto

[@AtypicalDriver]

Rev counter almost makes a full circle! Wow.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

How did it feel in the corners with the De-Dion rear axle? Also, is it just me, or does it look like it inspired Speed Racer's Mach 5?

[@merlin51h84]

The amazing thing is that Ferrari didn't try to make that noise, that's just how it sounds naturally. Pure metallic joy.

[@enzo.7947]

Thanks Simon e grazie Enzo for this piece of Art. What a Music. Close my eyes : feels like Heaven 💖💖🏎🏎💖💖👍🏻👍🏻

[@gabrielthibault9472]

[@MarathonGsar]

How did 3 minutes 17 seconds pass so quickly? I can't even imagine how imersive, driving a car such as the Testarossa feels like..

[@1930Granada]

That Colombo sound!

[@2264ish]

This sound has just become my neighbors favorite sound also!!

[@prileydrums]

Fantastic. And what a sound!

[@manolo2276]

Masterpiece 🇮🇹

[@Firemarioflower]

The only thing I miss is the feel of brakes, the steering feel and how it handles a sharp turn.

[@V8loveaffair]

....this sound 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you ...

[@gianlucar.4428]

The sound is awesome.. Ciao da Maranello!

[@KidstonProductions]

Ciao!

[@Qnickel27]

This video with headphones! Holy crap!

[@kirisgarage8590]

If you smiling when you driving that’s mean the car is very cool 😊👍 great video ☝️

[@utnapistim7046]

the sound of that engine, it's better than Beethoven's Fifth Symphony (no offense to the great Beethoven) :-) Stupendi entrambi.

[@nictredici4272]

Grandissimo Simon

[@salvatorep.1685]

Simon sei il numero uno!

[@gregorydahlen2103]

Is Life really fair??? Of course not!!! That's why Simon gets to drive all the very best cars!!!

Best pure engine sound in the world, LFA take a hike with exhaust pumped trumpets.

[@CarlosOliveira-cj3iz]

Fantastic!!

[@BruceBoschek]

Phenomenal!

[@marcushalliday2139]

Brilliant

[@michaelbonade4667]

My goodness I thought the GTOs had perfected the symphony of 12…. There’s also the 330 LMB

[@manushukla9392]

Congratss

[@patrickregalado4208]

Hey here comes speed racer!

[@caribman10]

Within my living memory cars like this were street driven. Then they became toys for the super-rich and that ended.

[@weeeeendyyyss1715]

Im here everyday lol

[@johnmontag]

Lucky man. Letting someone drive his $50 million car is once in a lifetime. There must b lots of $ and connections behind this channel

[@cornishrider]

Thank you so much for sharing, we know why you gave it the thumbs up!

[@sfenodonte]

Of course .... Simon ... you drive myths that I know only from having read in motor magazines ... maybe seen in some gatherings ... there is a certain envy ....

[@250GTOAJ]

😎👍🇨🇦

[@arcticwolf8150]

If you people think this car is valuable you should see the price tag of a 1950’s Mercedes Benz 722 SLR Stirling Moss edition, that car is a hundred million more

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars 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. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel 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....

[@Guido95usc]

That does not mean much. We always set these “guidelines” and end up disrespecting them by 50 years. It also doesn’t mean that driving cars built before those dates will be illegal. It’s like saying you can’t drive a car without airbags today. Of course you can. Common sense will prevail.

[@thomascroci6363]

Sembra la macchina di topolino

[@CJ-vc7ts]

Wtf are you doing driving this in the rain...

[@KidstonProductions]

It wasn't even raining and cars can withstand a bit of water. Especially if they are washed and dried immediately after, like this car was. Hope you enjoyed the video

[@essambenothman5684]

I don't like Ferraris
