Smith + Sniff's guide to the 2022 Bonhams FOS sale

[@ClarksonDan]

Smith and Sniff Guides are always a highlight of FOS

[@jryalls]

“The other thing that gave me a woody when I came in” Lovely bit of business.

[@rasphotography]

Richard's barely concealed smirk as Jonny expressed his liking of a woody was also excellent

[@bas7218]

You know Goodwood Festival of Speed is the goat because they ask Smith & Sniff to do the presenting. Please, keep this collaboration going.

[@Rocky-hh3yg]

The Ant and Dec of the car world. Not sure who’s who mind.

[@niallwelsh]

Nice one gents, your podcast is great too on that side of things.

[@Asheen_Singh]

That felt surprisingly short, I wouldn't mind more of these.

[@twarken5078]

Smith and Sniff are a fantastic duo for this event. Bravo, Goodwood! 👏🏼

[@benllewelyn98]

Love how Richard couldn't resist the Quentin impression 🤣

[@trenttrevorrow5648]

'Ponies on the Vinyl' the new album from Sexy Baloon of a Tyre.

[@IanRossDavies]

The roofline on that Facel Vega is absolutely bloody glorious.

[@j1jem]

Is there a part 2? That felt a bit cut off, and I'd love to hear more of what they've got to say, factoids about the cars and looking at the unusual stuff!

[@sq1rlsqu4d]

Same happened with their EV vid today. I'm guessing they met Sade and things got out of hand.

[@tomblatch1594]

Yep. Strange abrupt ending! Perhaps the camera batteries went flat?

[@HexAyed]

I think it's normally livestreamed, so it could just be because it's been cutout from the live showings

[@matgee8892]

I'd say they were asked to produce a certain length video so had to wrap it up. Plus the place was filling up so they couldn't have gone for much longer anyway.

[@taxus750]

@@sq1rlsqu4d If they didn't meet Sade, they certainly found one of her cars.

[@Hamilcar_Stronginthearm]

Brilliant work guys. What a fun place to wander around with car geeks.

[@sq1rlsqu4d]

"You mean it smells like glue?" - genuine laugh out loud here (after spitting my mouthful of beer out) when I saw your expressions :-D

[@nevillethumbcatch5691]

We really need more auction walkabouts with you two!

[@richieduck67]

That AC428 is just gorgeous

[@oldclassiccarUK]

*The Pathfinder pedal racing car (background) in the back of the Humber would be my ideal combination I think*

[@amphilbey]

Love Smith + Sniff, please keep their content coming 👏

[@phila3884]

Give these guys a regular gig hosting Goodwood events. Walking though the suction with them was like a gameshow- "Quick, Name That Classic". I know my cars, but I could barely keep up with them.

[@00ChinMusic]

great work! very entertaining...i've always admired the facel vega and the 350/400gt lambo, but my new fave is the ac....thanks, and looking forward to this week's podcast...

[@Cloverleaf7642]

Delightful details, thanks boys. I’m torn between the ISO Rivolta and the Facel Vega.

[@Das_Ginger]

I was introduced to several cars I've never heard of with this video. Well done, not very often to see something completely new that's also beautiful and exciting.

[@jryalls]

At least one of Maximillion Cooper’s XJ220’s is for sale.

[@donaldtucker4914]

I don't usually go in for these walk through video thingys but this was very entertaining. Were there two cameras? You seemed to be looking somewhere else quite a bit.

[@AndyQuinton]

I love these two. Someone needs to give them a TV show.

[@spaldi01]

Perhaps broadcast on a Sunday night about 8 p.m.

[@Theocurrie]

On that side of things

[@jryalls]

They’re on KZbin and they have a podcast. Why do they need a show on a dying format with producers etc meddling in the content and telling them what “the viewer wants”.

[@mwinner101]

Great selection of cars in this auction. Well presented. 👍

[@jontymo]

Another great filming - for interest we have travelled from Switzerland to France a few days ago, half way around the Susten pass we had a green Z1 behind us for over 10 miles ( British Racng Green)

[@danw1030]

I never knew the AC 428 existed. Beautiful car! Europe had so many more interesting cars than we had in the states in the early seventies.

[@Willyfarns]

No Matra-Simca Rancho?? 🤣👍

[@jefferysmith3930]

Great presentation. OTSOT 60’s GT edition: when I was a boy I spent quite a lot of time one summer with my grandfather looking for an interesting project car. This was in the mountains of western North Carolina around 1984. The 2 cars I remember coming across were a complete Fiat 850 convertible at a junk yard and a rough but complete Maserati 3000 GT sitting at a local body shop. I may be totally off but I think the price for it was about $5000-6000? The project car idea never came to fruition but the brief hunt was a lot of fun.

[@mariapires7170]

Like you both, the only car that took my money was the amasing Porsche 356 S a true jam among all others. Thank you Goodwood Road & Racing and Mr Porter and Mr Smith.

[@cheharrison7107]

Top work guys, this could be an hour long....on that side of things. 🤘

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Interesting guide to the "ornaments". Anorak observation concerning the AC 428 designed by Pietro Frua: this car is clearly derived from the (one-off for Colin Chapman) 1964 Frua Lotus Elan (scaled up). Personally of all the cars shown, I would opt for the Lamborghini 400GT.

[@YellowPinkie]

I had a mate who in his 20s used to daily a 1949 Mk II Humber Pullman Limo; we got stranded on Bodmin Moor in it overnight when we collected it...

[@Comakino]

"What would you use it for?" "Touring!" - Johnny and Sniff need their own show on the regular!

[@danlowe42]

Another excellent video from Smith and Sniff ..... however I can't stop hearing "Wyld Stallyns!!" after your intro.

[@porscheinspections1091]

3 out of 5 stars. needs more Marrillion content.

[@andysmith4394]

Nice guys I really enjoyed watching you guys talk cars 🤙🏻🇬🇧

[@abella458]

Those cars are pretty nice on that side of things 😏

[@jctothel]

PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE GUYS!!

[@bajarekn]

No comments on the second pair of giallo Integrale and silver 356 behind the Lamborghini 400 GT? Just a glance @20:55 . I could have watched another hour of Smith and Sniff.

[@pereldh5741]

Sweet. That ”Hoffmeister kink” of the Iso was on many cars in the 60’s, Fiats etc. Its just the Bmw stuck with it and sort of claimed it…

[@d33b33]

Aw! You left us hanging on Schumi's F1 car story?! I'm waving my tiny little YT-comment fist at you Sir!

[@timlinzinger]

Needs more Sade!

[@benzinapaul7416]

Great review, has Jonny got amazing hearing as all the videos on his channel and this are so bloody quiet!

[@MyMrno1]

Smith N Sniff are THEE car guys of Planet earth!

[@mzungusi]

That Alfa....seriously. Of all those fabulous cars....the Montreal!

[@benpenagonzales6014]

How much was the facel vega and alpina?

[@bigbadgaz1]

14:05 lmao, a little bit of Alan Cantara :) wasnt he a centre forward for real madrid ? :D :D

[@shiaschreiber8924]

what was that tiny car in the bottom right corner at 2:03?

[@AtheistOrphan]

Austin J40 pedal car.

[@purple-porker-productions]

Love Smith and Sniff.

[@scottlehuray7062]

Saw Johnny had to watch. And sub

[@KanjoNights]

Side note: Richard Porter wrote the 3 Medium Sized Books of Boring Car Trivia and they're all fascinating reads. I'm sure they're terribly tedious and boring if you're not into automotive history, but I think he knocked it out of the parks with those books!

[@rick74304]

I had the same size tires on my 1969 buick LeSabre lol

[@neilscott7683]

Smith & Sniff + Chris Harris would be a Top Gear lineup to rival Clarkson, Hammond and May.

[@goretex_]

“sort of like a panda being born into captivity” bro hahaha

[@florianheiling359]

Those two are my highlight

[@benwiltshire4505]

2.2 prelude yeah

[@alanthomson1227]

Loved the Integrale and the 428. Oh well can only dream .

[@stevemcrichards8768]

These guys are great.

[@ronniewilson6597]

Love the story of the F1 Jordan. 👍🏻😀

[@martinlaver007]

Massive belch at 26:08?!

[@samgarrod4781]

I love the Facel. Gorgeous

[@4dshow]

So many S&S inside jokes here.

[@L.J.W.98]

Ponies on the vinyl? That’s a John Peel Session surely!

[@milesgreen9705]

Think your editor needs to put LUTs on the clips!!

[@23gps]

In session tonight: Ponies on the vinyl.

[@mattswindells4893]

Nice vid. Needs more gilet.

[@sparkstack]

They still let you in then…

[@PluckinA_Connor]

Imagine - the Lamborghini 400GT and the Facel Vega sat next to each other in the garage. Name a more suave two-car collection... other than the Montreal and that early Aston DBS...

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

I had a Jag with those lattice wheels on the old Aston Martin. I've also had the misfortune to ride a motorbike behind one briefly. The overpowering smell of unburnt fuel is eye watering. BMW can keep their Z1 and send me a Z8 please

[@USUG0]

say it again! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 FYI the word "giallo" sounds like "jello" but with the A like in jab

[@s550144]

10:05 for those who know

[@catlee8064]

Id buy that defender and send sniffpetrol weekly pics of the mileage going up.....

[@beatles4sale2007]

SPOOOOORRRRTAAAA.

[@EddieIrvine106]

I love how Richard fails to look at the correct camera at any time, even by accident

[@GuyChapman]

Was there ever a more elegant car than the Facel Vega?

[@roadbull74]

Alan Cantara, nice fella

[@peterjones9525]

Lancia every day of the week would give my spare kidney for one

[@mikeystreets9333]

Which camera are you looking into 😀😀😀

[@davidmarden4789]

There was a racing series in the US using XK 220s driven by veteran racing drivers. Totally insane.

[@davidmarden4789]

@Richard Harrold nope I checked Wikipedia Definitely Xk220s Fastmasters

[@davidmarden4789]

You're right about the XJ220 , but wrong about it not being raced

[@Geert890]

Ocon?

[@rych7852]

"gee-arlo" Nope! JAA-LOW! (giallo is the spelling!)

[@7ouie492]

Heard someone say “Oliver?!” Sure Hammond wasn’t there?

[@blaymeister]

And....OTSOT....

[@alanthomson1227]

Do I spot a Montreal in background

[@tomdigby4463]

Why not just say Harry Metcalfe’s name - why just allude to him regarding the spectre landrover ??

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

THAT STANG IS JUST DISCUSTING BRO 😎😎💪💪,🔥🔥🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@jamespaterson7178]

on that side of things

[@darrenliggett7222]

I cannot wait to watch Jonny's video on the F1 car being removed from the millionaire's living room via an elaborate winch system and a Mercedes Sprinter ;-)

[@wm6746]

The one car I care is this Lancia ..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GuyChapman]

Jonny, my mate Dave has a 356 and also a Type 3 that was best in show at Volksworld. Ping for contact details.

[@kimkristensen2816]

Must have been a russian oligark that has the racecar mountet in the ceiling

[@Ryandmarsh]

Sphincter Land Rover lol

[@TheWescombe]

Loved these videos, but let Jonny speak…. 🤪

[@scottnewlands628]

no marillion looks to camera here

[@mroctarine]

Annnnnd they cut it just when it gets really interesting.

[@mmmbilly]

Whoever converted that BMW to electric should be jailed

[@dappergent9422]

Classic BMW converted EV. Utter treachery.

[@_P_F]

So much worse than Harry Metcalfe’s auction previews.

[@pistonburner6448]

Johnny 'has a real thing' for every single car he recognizes. (Sounds like he only learned about each one even existing at the last show/auction he went to...and now he's an 'expert') Every single stereotypical classic is on the top of his list. I would've thought Goodwood would hire people who dress a bit more respectfully too.

[@joycedcruz3015]

constructive criticism: what a lousy job your camera man did and you ought to fire him!
