Coming Home III: The Emperor's New Car

Turin, 1966: The unofficial ‘Emperor of Italy', newly crowned as head of its most powerful private company, ventures out for the first time at the wheel of his latest and fastest bespoke creation: a 180mph, mid-engined Ferrari supercar with seating for three abreast. Almost six decades later we’ve helped bring it back to life, but one task remained.
To bring it home…

This is literally one of the most artful and mesmerizing videos I've ever seen. And to make it even more iconic, it was the prototipo! The 3 seat design study that would become the 206 gt, and then the 246 gt. Absolutely riveting story, absolutely hypnotizing visuals. Thank you.

Two unforgettable cars. The Ferrari 365 P and the Fiat 125 with the TO A00000 licence plate. Gianni Agnelli had a lot of luck, being rich, handosme, smart and brilliant. And a life full of tragedies. Starting with his father death, up to his son's suicide. He failed as an industrialist, but he was a man of the perfect taste. He had the most beautiful women, the most beautiful yachts (Tomahawk, Agneta, Capricia, Extrabeat and Stealth), the most beautiful cars. He died before the end of Fiat corporation. Sit tibi terra levis.

I just got tears in my eyes and chills up and down my arms. When I first came to the Blackhawk Collection to meet with Don Williams and Rick Cole about representing them, I roamed around the Blackhawk Museum and sat in the center seat of a 365 Berlinetta. I'll never forget that experience, the car brightly lit in a very dark room. I recall looking out the front windshield across the room at the B.A.T.S. and other incredible rolling works of art. This video just took me back thirty years!

[@KidstonProductions]

had the privilege to see this very car in the garage while it was in final stages of resto this past summer, I just appeared on the doors there out of curiosity and the guys took me for a show around tour, but didn't allow any photos, which was actually a plus in a certain way, I felt like I was let in on world's biggest secret :D

[@schizo0223]

Masterclass in automotive fim. Actually, this goes beyond that, it;s co culturally and historically significant. The attention to the details, the cut of the unvented suit (unwary would just slap on a more typical double vented suit readily available, but to go to the extra lengths to source an unvented suit these days...superb!), the watch over the tight shirt collar...very nice. Kidston Productions, above and beyond!

[@peterhealey2668]

When I was young I had a model of this 365 Berlinetta, it was so unusual with it's 3 seats and central driving position. I remember it was white with a black interior but the thing I do not recall it having was the spoiler on the rear bodywork, it looks out of place to me. All in all a great video and thanks for sharing and bringing back childhood memories.

[@danielpujol8266]

@peterhealey2668 : There's two of these, that's why. The first one was and still is white and didn't have the spoiler, (so that'll be what your model was based on). It's still around, (failed to sell at auction in 2014 but reached a 23.5 million bid!]. Agnelli saw the first one at its debut at the Paris motor show and commissioned one for himself - but specified this silver paint, plus the stripe and rear spoiler. This one came without the huge sunroof but that was soon added. [On the white one it's perspex, I don't know what this one is made of). This Agnelli one during its lifetime was repainted in metallic blue and then red. So it's been repainted back to silver some time since the red. * 'Wikipedia is your friend'...

[@tylerdean5443]

Well done, as always.

[@MrPod15]

I only saw one of these before! It was Rossi Red. To this day I never thought there was two! The Sultan of Brunei has the other one. I wasn’t allowed to even open the door by his guards. Made my day today.

[@mnejmantowicz]

What a wonderful story shot so well. These are magnificent. Never stop.

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

Fantastic car! LOVE the rooftop track!! Subbed!!!✌🏻🇨🇦

[@Gentleman...Driver]

Beautiful film, very interesting story. I can only recommend the hotel at the Lingotto by the way. The Lingotto is the building with the test track on the roof you can see in the video. It was the former headquarters of Fiat. The Agnelli family has always had large stocks on the company. Unfortunately, when I was in Turini in 2020, everything was closed and I wasnt able to visit the rooftop. It was one of the few hotels tho that was open. Personell was very nice and the rooms were good, too. Mister Kidston, you did again an outstanding job to portray a very special car. Turini at night has such an atmosphere. I also remember the tunnel you filmed in, near the Lingotto. Although I remember the streets were very bumpy. I love the sound of the car and the elegant design of the 1960s.

[@Avantone]

[@archiegoodwinjr]

Thank you for the attention to detail. That car. That building. The watch strapped around the outside of the driver's shirtsleeve. Forza! My memory is fuzzy, but I saw a car just in the annual imported car show in San Francisco. I thought it was gold but maybe that was the 275GTS on the stand with Pedro Rodriguez inside.
