Tom Talks: 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona | Tom Hartley Jnr

[@ericgabriel3902]

The perfect example of a time when they still knew how to build cars with a soul. No contemporary car can even come close. Thank you. This made my day :)

[@richardneville5067]

This is how you do a KZbin car video. Pure CLASS. Well done, Tom.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Richard!

[@cheshirered9204]

Have to say credit where it's due. The restoration and rebuild has allowed the rebirth of an absolute stunner. Great work.

[@rolandleap1]

The color of this car should have never been changed. What an incredible color. Well done. Beautiful.

[@CraigMarshall_HDvideo4K]

I was accelerating hard down a freeway on-ramp in my Ferrari 308 GT4 when there was the sound like a huge sheet of tearing canvas. It was not my gearbox shredding but the sound made by the V12 of a yellow Daytona as it sped past me like I was standing still.

[@danielesbordone1871]

The car looks newer now than it did in 1972. Beautiful.

[@nigelprice7953]

Absolutely beautiful, and well done for putting it back to its original colour. 🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Not many cars look good in brown, but we couldn't resist putting this one back to its original colour.

[@beegee22]

Absolutely splendid Daytona! I've never seen a Daytona so thoroughly described and presented. Thank you!

[@jonathonrowley3535]

My goodness what a beautiful work of art and what a spectacular noise. This has always been my grail Ferrari, even when friends had the Testarossa pictures on their wall I had the Daytona. A wonderful presentation of a stunning car. Gorgeous Patek Phillipe too.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Jonathon!

[@leeparker8926]

What a stunning example the epitome of style

[@tutelarius]

That paintwork and interior is beautiful. What a great place it must be to sit in.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

It really is!

[@broti]

This car fits you perfect, Tom.

[@acskls]

Fascinating video. That engine sounds really amazing on film , can't imagine what it's like in real life ! Superb car. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Whenever you hear it on film, times it by 100 and it'll give you an idea of what it's like in real life!

[@carza355]

Open trumpets...think that is a must. Another excellent video, thank you!

[@wallyr.7854]

Simply stunning, absolutely gorgeous 😍.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Couldn't agree more!

[@AMSillje]

I love the dedication and the focus on small but important details!

[@billybonehead7598]

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this! The last comment about the engine being built so well made me laugh out loud....it brought out the child in me! 😀

[@martinboulden3540]

Gorgeous colour. Great video. Thank you Mr H.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Martin - we'll keep them coming!

[@michaelboonphotography3014]

I love the sound of the V12 when he lets it go. What a fabulous car.

[@littlearnie35]

Totally stunning love that colour it just pops

[@iDayno]

Just stunning, loved the driving segment too :)

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Dayno!

[@keyop1970]

I can't believe I'm actually about to say this but how plain does it look in red after you've seen it in that colour?

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

A stunning colour isn't it!?

[@aidan.w.carolan]

I am very envious of you Tom. That car is absolutely sublime. Those looks, that sound. The daytona always reminds me of Brigitte Bardot for some reason.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Aidan!

[@daviddavies822]

I love this colour combination!

[@spencereagle1118]

Right decision on the color.

[@michaelboonphotography3014]

My all time favourite car so beautiful.

[@TheRichardmintern]

Tis car is absolutely beautiful. Great restoration work.

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Fabulous - I saw this on your website, and pleased you've featured it. Beautiful spec.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

How could we not! Thanks James!

[@arconcritter]

A great video as always 🙂 I’d just like to say that whoever set up the in-car side view camera did a brilliant job. Being able to see a full view of you driving the car is a nice change from the typical KZbin car vids where the camera is tight to the driver’s upper body and face. Being able to see the full interior view, the gear stick etc really makes me feel like I’m in the car with you and adds a lot to the viewing experience. Very well done And what a gorgeous car 🤤

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Chris - appreciate the feedback!

[@sandyvalentin3072]

Tom... Spectacular automobile just a piece of art Bravo 👏👏

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Sandy!

[@adampenly5817]

Lovely car done to perfection . Tom makes a fabulous video he is so passionate a proper gentleman ..

[@bv2225]

Amazing! One of the best looking Ferraris imho. And in a fantastic color! Thank you for the video 👍

[@P3u99]

Stunning is often an overused word in the car world. This car is indeed STUNNING.

[@BAAAASJE]

That is a gorgeous Daytona! Also really like the 5990 Nautilus you're wearing, great taste!

[@LynGriffiths70]

Nice touch having a camera on the throttles, beautiful car. 👍

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Lyndon!

[@hughoxford8735]

I would never have thought that the F40 & Daytona were related in that sense.

[@MrTwister86660]

Love it Tom! Just so you know, I drop whatever I’m doing when I see you’ve made a video, and I watch it regardless

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Great to hear Richard!

[@TProfileG]

Tom I think your stock is amazing but you are a very smart, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It would be hard to not buy from you. I sold family cars for 25 years and had a similar mind set. I loved it. I used to feel special in a D plate Supra, with knackered tyres. Your cars look great and I like the fact you are prepared to get the cars perfect for the next owner. You should have placed more audio in the video. That Daytona sounds phenomenal.

[@Suprahampton]

Fantastic colour

[@rogergags]

Tom you deserve a medal!

Love PP Nautilus matching this car’s design perfectly.

[@markwood9987]

If you haven't seen the film gumball rally 1976 you should,there's a red Daytona Spyder racing a cobra 427 for most of the film .

[@byronmills5952]

Having had the pleasure of driving a Daytona over the Brecon Beacons a decade ago - I can vouch for need for the power steering upgrade - once up to speed it was absolutely fine, but for parking and low speed manoeuvres it was positively truck like. Glorious machines - and what a peach of an example. 👍

[@jamesclukey7488]

He's right ! Spending large sums of money to restore a beautiful car like the Daytona makes sense. This currently is estimated at a million dollars, I believe. Very rare, and sought after by collectors. Stunning video review ! Thank You for sharing !

[@algernonwolfwhistle6351]

Beautiful and classy.

[@trevorleggo1777]

I clicked the like at number 365...sorry, now 366, more to come I'm sure. Gorgeous work Tom.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Trevor!

[@GM-fh5jp]

Now that was a great piece on the 250 SWB. Well done Tom and the lads, that was a pleasure to watch.

[@denniswhite9721]

Had a friend with a Mondial back in the day in the same livery. Gorgeous!

[@sevesellors2831]

Beautiful car, wonderful presentation I will probably never own a Ferrari, never been in one but love them. My only super car outing was in a Maserati Khamsin which was lovely.

[@orwellknew9112]

I never realized how similar the Ferrari Daytona and Datsun 240z side profiles were. They’re both so beautiful.

[@Looney2021]

Just imagine getting up everyday to go and do Toms job, certainly wouldn’t be hitting that snooze button! Fantastic car, great video 👍

[@johntechwriter]

Tom won’t need to hit the snooze button because the outrageous price he is going to ask for the car will keep him awake nights worrying he might have overplayed his hand. (I think he’s made a safe bet. Among the super-rich these days, rarity and originality are worth a huge premium on an already valuable car that seems poised for a big jump in demand among the fashionistas.)

[@conner.9262]

Just beautiful.... what else can one say ...

[@tobynevitte554]

Fantastic! What a great presentation, thank you

[@ili-iloveinternet]

One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. It looks more stunning than ever in that color.

[@ronaldneehao9723]

Thanks Tom

[@samieb155]

Really great car, sounded very good too.

[@caledoniacation]

Stunning car. We drove past you when you were filming it.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

You can vouch for the noice then! 😏

[@supersonique001]

To think back in 1971, as a teenager, in Montreal these were selling for around $20,000 cad dollars! Incredible !

[@titor8017]

Had to watch again. Just class

[@Pyotr_Velikiy]

Stunning example.

[@cerbie70]

My childhood crush. It's a shame the owners of cars like these never bloody uses them. 😩

[@stephencurran5429]

My all time favourite Ferrari just looks the part also do like the 550 as well

[@Stratoszero]

Perfect colour scheme, I'd have anything other than red. (Subscribed!)

[@eamoncluneable]

Wow. Stunning and great noise

[@douglasjames4905]

Superb presentation by all measures. Every boomers' fantasy dream car. Especially as I recall R&T testing saw 172mph. The E-Type was truly 145 out-of-the box, Bolster saw 151mph in the near contemporary DB6 Vantage by way of comparisons. It would be 20 years beyond the Daytona release the 928S4 would achieve 171mph in manual form. Daytona was mega-still is!

[@roadie3124]

What a stunningly beautiful car, and well done for presenting it so well. I've had a "thing" about Daytonas since I saw one on Prova plates in 1967 or 1968 near Modena in northern Italy. If you put a rational hat on, the there are many modern cars that are faster, have better handling and are much more economical. But it's not about being rational when thinking about a car like this. Emotions take over, which is how it should be.

[@gailbrocksom433]

Brilliant video, very enjoyable and educational thank you for sharing.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Our pleasure Gail - glad you enjoyed it!

[@edcain3676]

The Ferrari Infecinatos are Screaming ,How Dare you put such a Color on a Ferrari? Love It & Perfection of the Restoration!! When You Look @ Side View of This Beauty,You Realize Where Datsun,@ the Time,Got the Idea of the 240 Z,Which Became the Poor Man's Sports Coupe

[@spartanp2064]

Gorgeous color. Definitely the right decision.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

We think so too!

[@jeffbrinton3993]

Another excellent video....great content and informative. Looking forward to the next. .....nice watch also.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Jeff - much appreciated!

[@JohnnoDordrecht]

My dreamcar

[@christophepseudonyme]

Waooww ! All m'y kingdom for this car !

[@tonykingnyc1]

Beautiful. Same color - Marrone - as my '87 412.

[@KarelBeelaertsvanBlokland]

Well done..... SUPER!

[@andybanks3042]

Simply stunning!

[@scottp7316]

What an incredible car Tom!

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Scott!

[@chuckyboy6977]

The guy who painted the car Rosso deserved a slap and a choice few words. Herb Chambers had the right idea when he had Wayne Carrini finish his Spyder and Coupé in a stunning colour similar to the car in the video, but the colour Herb’s had, had a tint of orange and gold to the brown haze too. The episode of “Chasing classic cars” were Herb goes to see his old Daytona, that nearly cost him his life is on KZbin. It’s a good watch, to someone, see and re-engage with a passed owned car.

[@stevenrobertson7643]

Herb Chambers' Daytona Spyder chassis #14901 is Nocciola Metallizzato in colour.

[@BMW7series251]

What a lovely car! Also lovin' your PP.

[@markusdascher4181]

Very classy video.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Markus - glad you enjoyed it!

[@colmj.cleary6272]

Another great video, I enjoyed that! 👌

[@stacyhathaway4017]

Including the drive has made already exciting videos even better. I am by no means an expert but have seen my fair share of Daytona's; never seen one without a gated shifter. Ferrari's where fairly bespoke back then, it must have been a customer opt out. Interesting.

[@stevenrobertson7643]

Colonel Ronnie Hoare of Maranello Concessionaires, the UK Ferrari importer and concessionaire for RHD cars in other countries, specified from Ferrari, that RHD Daytonas have the leather "boot" on the gearstick/gate.

[@bradcollins9647]

What a car.

[@chrischallis4240]

That’s real nice..!..engineering at its best..

[@paulbriozzo4895]

Appreciating this video, you would save your money for an older not a newer Ferrari...

[@bondy284]

Cracking video / production 👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Bondy - we'll keep them coming!!

[@shanehnorman]

Any chance that the first owner of this car was (Prince) Nicholas von Preussen? He was a work colleague in London and I remember him buying a Daytona in about 1972, although I never saw the car nor knew what colour it was.

[@robertgohlke]

Just Stunning. Thanks!

[@charliestout2815]

Could that be the final example made? I know the last one was a coupe and that color

[@robt8593]

Magnificent 👍

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Rob!

[@martinmccarthy1]

What a brilliant video. Probably sold already!

[@johncunningham4820]

One of the Most Desirable Cars ever Designed . Good in the Understated Colour for an Understated Car . A Metallic Blue or Green would work too . And , of course , the SOUNDTRACK ! A magnificent Gran Turismo vehicle . What would be the Sale price on one of those these Days ? Would love a answer to that . Anyone ?

[@geriatricmotorcars9516]

I saw a 328 in either that colour or similar ' in 89/90 I ended up buying Kremer 935 cabriolet , Fond memories

[@jeffstevens8025]

What a beautiful car. I’m 71 and with greatest respect to Ferrari so many of them now look like expensive kit cars. The Daytona is a car that has to be driven and not raced. My first pick if I win the lottery! My granddaughter once said if the speed limit (in the UK) is 70mph why do they have cars that can do 200mph.? Female logic at work ! And I didn’t have a sensible answer !!!

[@dougieranger]

That. Is. Exquisite.

[@TheEarlofK]

I can't imagine why anyone would want to change the colour of this car, it's perfect. I'm given to understand that Ferrari Daytonas are not a great drive, but with only 21,000 odd miles on the clock, I don't suppose it will see much of the rain and grime out on the streets; personally, I would be happy just to look at it, and as it's probably going to have to sell nearer the £1 million mark than £500,000, that's probably just as well.

[@larssonnsx]

Bravo. I am a jealous jealous man.

[@PeterPug]

Beautiful...

[@mrtyrang]

Love the Patek.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

If a Genie popped out of a bottle and offered me any (street) Ferrari ever made, the Daytona would be it. Now let me find that lamp....

[@olu665]

Beautiful car
