Philippe was my first boss, I’ve learned everything from him during my apprenticeship. The Ferrari cars knowledge of this focussed and experienced man is unequalled. I visit him every time I come home to Clermont and still remember these 288 and 250 GTO on which we worked together on weekends… Thank you Petrolicious for sharing this. Let’s hope new generations will follow…
They were going to stop the videos and make it a paid subscription setup - this was a move deemed extremely salty to existing subs (myself included), a loss of momentum occurred and new sub numbers dwindled, coupled with a loss of existing subs. They relented thankfully.
Huh? They were going to keep the old format, and ADD paid content, and that is what they did. If you subscribe, there is another set of videos for you. The people who left were the ones who were salty because they could no longer get everything for free, even though they continued to get the old type of content for free.
Porsche 996 - maybe. I believe the original direction was to halt all videos and make it a paid subscription based content, while drip feeding YT with clips and ‘offcuts’ - vitaly style. The backlash was tremendous during that time. Remember nothing is for free. Viewers pay for an internet subscription, large channels such as this get money for views. RUclips gets money off advertisers, advertisers get money of end users who use their promotion to pay for the goods etc etc.
I have a Ferrari 458 and it just feels so special, I feel so privileged and fortunate. its strange but you can feel the care that went into making it. It surely deserves taking care of and respecting the craftsmanship to make such an item.
Like most Ferrari fans, when I first saw these I didn't much care for them. But over the years, the wedge design has grown on me and I now consider it one of the most unique of the classic Ferrari's. Not to mention the fact they are one of the only classic Ferrari's where you can get a good, well cared for example for $60k-$70k.
Be quick as next big move F car. Engine is basically a 90 degree 2/3 size Daytona engine. Down to bore and stroke and internals, carbs. Just 8 not 12 and in fact more hp per lt than the Daytona engine so for its time a hot number and all Ferrari'100%. Even has race serial numbering from the factory so the intention from the get go was obvious.
I entrusted to Philippe Gardette, owner of Auvergne Motor in 1997 my Ferrari 250 GTE of 1962 of which I broke the tapered couple… He kept my car for 3 years in his Auvergne garage while at the time, I lived in Paris. Impossible to recover it because it had dismantled everything, up to the Weber carburetors which had disappeared from the engine. When I called him to find out where he was reassembling, he no longer took the phone, even making me insult by his mother ... I thank today a friend of Club Ferrari who helped me out of this dirty business threatening him to no longer bring Club Ferrari members to have their cars maintained at his house if he did not return mine repaired. I got it back after a week, bevel gear replaced. I learned, a few months later, that my car had served as a parts bank… I have today sold my 250 GTE, disgusted by this world of this type of old car. I have since bought a Ferrari Dino from 1971 which I have maintained at the Plantefol garage in La Ferté Loupière… They reconciled me with the prancing horse…
Because of Philippe Gardette, I may now need to find one of these beautiful undesired Ferraris ... Discretion, class, dynamic, sobriety with great driving sensations . Thank you so much for this great video !
EXCELLENT ton film sur la Ferrari 308 GT4 , mon ami Philippe . C'est une auto très attachante et j'ai vu , à Maranello , les toutes premières voitures assemblées à la main , en septembre 1974 . Elle s'appelait, alors , DINO 308 GT4 , mais ça , je ne vais pas te l'apprendre . Et la couleur en bleue , lui sied à merveille . MERCI Philippe pour ta passion pour cette marque qui a comblé ta vie ++++
Such beautiful pieces of art. After all these years, still nothing does it like Petrolicious. Pure inspiration. True enthusiasts, true passion. GREAT video. FANTASTIC story. C’est Tres Tres Bon.
This was my first Ferrari a 1975 in Chiaro blue over tan GT4. I loved it and never should have traded it in on my Countach 5000QV... My wife and I took the Ferrari everywhere and no one would know what it was, so I never got keyed like so many Ferraris do. It was not perfect but I loved its flaws and the sound of the intake was just awesome.
Très grand respect pour ce monsieur et très belle voiture qui reflète bien un courant du style automobile italien de la fin des années soixante jusqu’en 75 environ.
Ferrari now is a corporate mega brand with the way the cars are made I think extraordinarily purists like this gentleman will be fewer and far between. What a great man and awesome video as ever Petrolicious.
Je découvre ce modèle sur cette vidéo, très belle voiture. Bravo pour la restauration c'est du grand art monsieur ! Just discovered this Ferrari model on this video, such a beautiful car. Well done for restauring it sir, it's a work of art !
J ai toujours adoré l'idée d'une Ferrari 4 places avec moteur central.Cela permet de faire profiter les copains lors des ballades. Ajouter a cela un moteur a carburateur pour un son bien rauque, et non pas a injection, une boite de vitesse mécanique avec la légendaire grille métallique et non pas une palette de jeu video au volant. Voila pourquoi la 308 GT4 est une voiture formidable.

By all accounts I've read these were better handling drivers cars than either the 246 Dino or the more common 308. The longer wheelbase suited the car. A guy on the street where I grew up had one. Boxer colours, red with black base. In the flesh I remember it definitely looked the part. Unmistakably Italian and distinctly exotic.
Not exactly a fast car but a real beauty and it sounds wonderful. Plus it has the gated shifter so yes please. His shop seems so peaceful and right. It would be a great place to work I think.
I love the 308 GT4. I love the way it looks and the way it drives. An early, Euro-spec, dry-sumped GT4 is one of the best Ferraris I've driven. Lightweight, immediate, responsive. Yes, yes. Pininfarina. Lovely stuff. There are also many lovely non-Pininfarina Ferraris - this one, several Vignale designs. Cosmetics - check. Then how about the way the car actually drives?
There’s a lot of Lancia Stratos in the 308 GT/4 design. And that is not a bad thing. If the car industry doesn’t go down in flames (iffy) I think these could eventually find legs in the marketplace and generate larger appreciation.
Basically he is a Ferrari mechanic, he bought this car because it was original and at the right price at the time for him,and he restored the car in its original color
You can access the english sub-titles by clicking on the icon at the bottom right of the screen, 3rd icon in from the right, then select / click English "on".
So when is this video understandably subtitled? Can it be watched in several weeks? Could it please reappear then in my notifications, when it's ready to be understood? So either German or English subs please, because otherwise, the video is kinda worthless for me.

Retores car to showroom condition, drives it hard in the winter. My man!
This may seem weird to many people but this is actually one of my favorite Ferrari designs.
Not at all. It's beautiful and timeless. Cheers.
It's one for the man, not the investment banker, it's cool.
you're right that is weird indeed
Axel Reunis mine too
not weird at all I love it as well bertone is great
308 gt4 looks great in dark blue.
Exactly the kind of gentleman you'd want working on your Ferrari. Excellent video!
This channel should have 8 million subscribers. I say the current numbers .... still not justifiable for the quality of content.

The 308 GT4 grows on you. First Ferrari with a V8. Beautiful car.
I like this guy, he combines modesty and true passion, not the kind that money buys, but the kind where your hands get dirty.

I was fortunate to be a passenger in one of these last summer. Subtle, yet lovely exhaust sound accompanied by some occasional crackles.
Such beautiful pieces of art. After all these years, still nothing does it like Petrolicious. Pure inspiration. True enthusiasts, true passion. GREAT video. FANTASTIC story. C’est Tres Tres Bon.
I love how he just low key calls out Ferrari in their current state of cars at 4:40
This was my first Ferrari a 1975 in Chiaro blue over tan GT4. I loved it and never should have traded it in on my Countach 5000QV...

A very cool and passionate guy. Excellent production and content quality.
This was truly Wholesome
Now that is a passionate and inspiring story....bravo!
Très grand respect pour ce monsieur et très belle voiture qui reflète bien un courant du style automobile italien de la fin des années soixante jusqu’en 75 environ.
I’d like to be described by others as an outstanding gentleman one day.
Petrolicious back on form!
As far as I know this the only Ferrari by Bertone and not Pininfarina. I think is beautiful
One of Ferrari's most underrated designs
I had only seen the GT4 in photos, didn't care for it, then I saw one in person and it is a beautiful automobile
so underrated!! except the Problems with rust a fantastic car
The first Ferrari I ever saw was a 308 gt4 back when they were new in about 74, I was 10 and and I fell for Ferrari that day...
Quel belle voiture. Et le propriétaire est un vrai passionné.
Sound is gone starting at 4:28. Please fix this! 😢
Ferrari now is a corporate mega brand with the way the cars are made I think extraordinarily purists like this gentleman will be fewer and far between. What a great man and awesome video as ever Petrolicious.
Une voiture tres belle, et tres chic, puor les connoisseurs, et pas pour les 'garcons'!! C'est vraimont une Ferrari pour les gentleman avec bon gout!
Fantastic video of a true enthusiast, and my favorite Ferrari.
his satisfied smile at the end is delightful!
Does the audio go silent after 4:30 for anyone else?
That smile says it all!
Ferrari licensed mechanic...what an awesome job!
Why does the soundtrack stop at 4:24 min.? What a pitty😢
1:36 soooo gooood
Excellent, cool dude, cool car! Thanks for this!
Awesome car! Sounds the business and you've got to love the wedge shape!
great. A pleasure to see this emotional film
Je découvre ce modèle sur cette vidéo, très belle voiture. Bravo pour la restauration c'est du grand art monsieur !
Just discovered this Ferrari model on this video, such a beautiful car. Well done for restauring it sir, it's a work of art !
first ferrari I sat in and had a ride in was this car only it was light blue. love this model
Everyone gravitates towards the "sexy" cars but the 308 GT4 is a beautifully proportioned car.
I love that car, I lo e that it is dirty too. He's not afraid to push it.

Too bad about the audio issue at 4:26 until the end. RUclips copyright claim?
Wow, they even killed the captions.
By all accounts I've read these were better handling drivers cars than either the 246 Dino or the more common 308. The longer wheelbase suited the car. A guy on the street where I grew up had one. Boxer colours, red with black base. In the flesh I remember it definitely looked the part. Unmistakably Italian and distinctly exotic.
No idea what he said but understood everything
e.g John - Turn on Closed Caption and you’ll know what he said.
Not exactly a fast car but a real beauty and it sounds wonderful. Plus it has the gated shifter so yes please. His shop seems so peaceful and right. It would be a great place to work I think.
It's amazing how they have just the right kind of track to go with the vid,perfect harmony ✌️🤩not to mention the editing.
Question - Were in France is the best place to get my Ferrari 308 GT4 seviced?

It seems more Lancia than Ferrari, but it is sooo nice...
I love a classic Ferrari
Très belle! Cette voiture a la même âge que moi. C'est une icône de son temps.
fabuleux destin..
Clean angular Bertone design
THIS IS MY FAVORITE FERRARI! I HOPE SOME DAY TO GET ONE!!
Beautifully told story.
5:11 we see you buddy
ape_status nice catch
// i love _BERTONE_ Design 😊
SUPERBE!! bravo!!
Videos like this made me subscribe this channel. Thank you so much!
An amazing little Ferrari
The Ferrari built for the 0.7% of Volvo owners who also like to go fast...
Anyone who knows the title of the piano song?
English subtitles ????? Please
How do they find these beautiful cars that I would give one of my fingers to drive.
Beautiful film
There’s a lot of Lancia Stratos in the 308 GT/4 design. And that is not a bad thing. If the car industry doesn’t go down in flames (iffy) I think these could eventually find legs in the marketplace and generate larger appreciation.
i understand french but you should add subtitles to your video for other viewers that don’t understand french...
Basically he is a Ferrari mechanic, he bought this car because it was original and at the right price at the time for him,and he restored the car in its original color
It has... just click on the gear shape icon 4 from the right at the bottom which brings up subtitles, then click on English
It’s not as pretty as pinifirina but I think it looks very cool. A unique Ferrari for sure .
Masculine design
I'm just listening to "Ugly Beauty" by Thelonious Monk.
Voiture splendide , je l ai toujours aimee.
Mais pas en rouge.
Beautiful
Everybody knows that Italian (and French) cars look best with yellow highbeams
Belle personne belle auto félicitations
Doesn't Jason Cammisa own one of these?
Yes
@@Cameron-yz1ee Thought so. He seems to love his.

... what? Two years of comments, and no scathing critique of his amateurish steering wheel technique at the 6:40 mark... ?
I love the content , but I wish they would do translation on here

@@savioracina3301 thank you did not know that
Plus jolie qu'une Stratos ;-)
This Ferrari could be a good family car
Nice car, nice story 🇮🇹🏎
However it seams to be some color grading issue... or missing I’d say
Yes the 308, 328 and 348 kind of “flow”...
So when is this video understandably subtitled? Can it be watched in several weeks? Could it please reappear then in my notifications, when it's ready to be understood? So either German or English subs please, because otherwise, the video is kinda worthless for me.
Strange that the v8 sounds like a 4....?
Maravilloso
Lovely
La Lamborghini qui lui ressemble n'est pas la JALPA mais bien la URRACO.
Honestly... this is the only Ferrari I have never loved.
Gandini Design!
Bertome up bangle down
1980??? Are you sure?
Built from 73 to 80.
