Correction. Barbados is not in Caribbean Sea. It's the most easterly island in the Caribbean and is in the Atlantic Ocean.

What a great weekend! So glad you were able to get points to keep you near the top - soon you will have more points that no one will catch you! Congratulations!

Amazing weekend…Keep pushing Zane…The Boy from Barbados.

Thanks for having me on. Great to meet you and all the F1 fans.

Dragon, they are such a greatl team of people - it’s a really cool project 🥰🇮🇹

Great stuff Deeksy, hope it may lead to something. Roly

This is brilliant! Really professional. It's your best to date I think. Well done!!! xxx

Steve, the WW2 Spitfire pilots of just circa 18 years of age I don't think even had 200 hours of training, I understand it was more like 15 to 20 before they were sent into combat 😯

Agree Top🍀

Gavin, you are right - the team was Performance Engineering Services - and I completely forgot about Stuart - very nice guy, early on in his testing programme when he joined the team, I think he spun coming into Coram at Snett. and very unluckily went backwards into the start of the pitwall - may have broken his back … ? That ended his racing career 😔 x

I remember Steve in the late 1980's. Didn't you drive a ff1600 for a team who a mate was one of the mechanics, Stuart Dawson, son of Les?

Well done, totally agree.

I’ll close comments for this video because it’s started to attract the lunatic fringe, but thanks for watching and commenting all that have 😊👍 x

I'm 6'3, no way I can fit in that as much as I would love to have one...

I had an S2 with a Mazda rotary engine. Great car to drive. Horrible car to crash.

1972 the year I was born good year

Oops almost drooled on my IPad! Tops my lottery win bucket list. It’s been on that list going on 50 years. I hear they make about 25 mpg at the ton.

Track weapon! More RPM (like more happy zone 😊), more braking power (brembo stylema) and better suited to the track day (moto2) 💛💛💛 and Cosmic Yellow is awesome!

I remember Chris Meek driving one of these at Cadwell Park in the 70’s, he was my favourite driver when I was a kid.

Muppet, you mean Street Triple

'Drives straight' ... no it doesn't, re-centre that steering wheel!

Do you know if it is possible to buy these amazing clip-ons as an accessory, to instal in the RS?

You don't mention how big or how small you need to be to actually get in one. I am 6ft 3 inch tall and doubt I could actually get in yet alone drive it. I did notice while you were driving your knees were almost touching the underside of the dash you painted all the superlatives but I'm afraid you didn't mention any of these shortcomings. I'd love to buy one but I know I wouldn't fit in it.

Beautiful car ! That could keep me smiling all Sumner !

i thought a 914 was low... this car is insane

That is Mario Andretti driving Alexander Boswell's Ferrari 500/625A, ex-Alberto Ascari, Mike Hawthorn, and the 1955 Monaco GP winner driven by Maurice Trintignant... A very important car, and also a car driven by Mario's hero, Alberto Ascari...

Back in the mid 1970s I had a 1972 Europa Twin Cam in yellow exactly the same as the one in this video. Kept it for about 4 years until a growing family dictated that I needed more than two seats. Wonderful car to drive .

Hello, iam still waiting on my Moto2 765 :D Do you have info about the fender eliminator that is used on the bike? thanks

🏃 *promosm*

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ...

I wanted to by the same car in 1978 but at 6'4" couldn't even get one leg into the driver's seat.

I bought a 61M and it was such an origianly crappy built car that I got rid of it and bought a GRD F3 instead. Now that was lovely. Build and to drive.

Looks a great example of àn all time classic. Only modern(ish) equivalent is the VX220, and even they are 16+ years old

Owned one exactly like this in 1969 loved the car , miss the drive, wished I still had it. 😢

Having ridden one of these I thought the same, personally I'd prefer the bike to have bar risers for the road. Having said that, it's superbly made and now at a more attractive price point. I adore my 765RS and this 1200RR is awesome with the electronic suspension and beautiful unique design.

POS

I had a Renault powered one of these in the eighties (same yellow colour). Paul Matty Sports cars rebuilt the engine and made a superb job. I had two Series 4 Sevens at the same time, both with big valve twin cam engines. Although they were quicker than the Europa, the chassis of the Europa out- performed the 7s hands down. No matter what speed one entered a sharp bend the Europa was unfussed, no body roll, no tyre squealing, in fact it was the proverbial "on rails". The 7s used to hop and skip around tight bends. Also, the Renault engine was reasonably smooth, and although the purists favour the Lotus twin cam, I would not discount the Renault. Thank you for the video and happy memories.

Traded a Saab sonnet II for one of these in the mid 70’s. It handled like a slot car. SO much fun to drive, but really hard for my 6’3” frame to get in and out of. My steering wheel was on the other side though lol

I bought 1 a week ago ,and I think it's the best bike ever .I am 68 . I used to race on the streets ,then on the track in my 40's .How linear and smooth is why it's so good .And light and nimble for it's power .

I remember seeing one of these in a driveway around town. I knew it was something special by the neighborhood it resided in. At the time I thought it was ugly as hell. Obviously, I've matured (a bit) since then.

I had a twin-cam in 1982, drove to Le Mans etc. High maintenance car, carburettors and very long timing chain stretches easily, causing valve timing issues. Great fun to drive though, I used to drive mine hard and nothing could stay with me on a twisty road.

When Car and Driver tested one they pointed out that the cars profile was so low that trucks couldn't see it on the street. Great reputation as one of the least reliable and least practical sports cars ever.

I saw a few of these cars at auto crosses in the 80s. I haven’t seen an El Camino like that since.

I miss TOP GEAR

no gear on

Thank you for this-well done too!!

I have an S2 Europa from 1969 (Black badge model). I bought it in 1973 and still have it and have kept it completely original. It has had a new chassis and rebuild by Banks and I still think these are amazing cars. Lovely to drive and I know they are like Marmite to many people, but I love Marmite too. They are relatively simple and easy to maintain if you have some engineering knowledge. It has been in professional storage for about 10 years, but I'm going to get it out again while I can.

Mario=COOL!

It's lovely, I remember these so well.
