Glad to see more and more videos covering these classic cars.
You won't see them on roads but at least you can get a bit of that experience from the film.
Glad you liked it. Pass it on to a friend!
Love the Kidston videos. I have only just discovered them. Brilliant Production and usually delivered with humour.
Those old Duesenberg's are just *chef's kiss*
The Ferrari GTO is just a complete dream!
These old classic cars hold tremendous amount of sentimental value and a bit of history. raw analog authentic and memorable driving experience with little to no high tech or nanny features. of course to some they drive like every other old cars but better.if you want the driving cars of course you should buy the best modern cars full of technology and power. But if money is no object to you, by all means shed $150 million to experience a piece of automobile history.
Poor cars,destined to be inside "investment briefcase" in dark warehouse. Few cars might see sunlight when new owner has to transport them to new home, on a trailer.
It's a little like going to the zoo.
Beautiful, powerful creatures, designed to live fast but reduced to a life of misery and boredom
So true. A great exception on this rule, is Jay Leno.
@@GTfour01 And Nick Mason actually drives his as well.
@@DWREV True. However rare a sight that is.
We all know if you had one you would crash it
It’s sad that most of these classic cars end up in “investment” collections never to be really be driven. Their souls can’t shine if they aren’t on the roads.
I do love what Kidston does with his videos creating a sense of character and emotion showcasing their true identity to hopefully touch on the souls of true car enthusiasts that will someday drive them rather than simply display them like a painting on a wall.
At least Nick Mason really drives his!
that's life, Gold, Diamonds, Paintings all get lock away, It's rare to see a genuine painting now days, there all copies, due to insurence and protesters vitalization.
That's a great business being a Go To guy in buying & selling cars. Since it's full of mega rich people who can't be "bothered" by the intricacies of the sale. A great Opportunity, a great job, rubbing elbows with extremely rich people & best of all getting the chance to drive some of there exquisite motor vehicles! Good on you!
Excellent vid, thanks so much!
Mr Nick Mason how good to see you!...
Well done, very entertaining as well as informative
Glad you like it. Pass it on to a friend!
Imagine Talking to Mr Kidston for 3 minutes straight at the Paris Retromobile not knowing who he is until you see this documentary.
Wonderful show,,,envy for sure,,but happy for all.
Stories stories stories is the best sales pitch simples 😅
Awesome!
Beautiful machines
Simon is living THE life!!!
nice cars the lucky ones bought in year 2000 , my choice @11:19 is the 1972 mura like the number plate 72 svj
The Beauty is that they’re well maintained for us to see them in their glory.
To bad that so much great are parked and never driven 😢 But on the other hand they are keep preserved for the future 😊
I wonder if these cars will hold its value after the generation that grew up seeing them as kids dies.
Most people who drove a Duesenberg or an A Model Ford are long gone. But the cars still remain collectable. I predict that once EV's become the common car the old ICE vehicles will be worth even more!
@stephenvelden295 Agreed lots of these fears are stupid and unfounded. I know now countless channles with a gen m and z who collect cars from way before them. One is a teen on Texas who loves his chrysler 1947 new yorker.
Living the dream when you are in the driver seat of magnificent automobiles
250 GTO still considered the greatest sports car extant. They claim it's a driver too but no power steering (is it worse to drive than a Daytona?) and must take 20 minutes to throw a shift w/o damaging the tranny.
not according to the videos of the people who actually drove them
Nice
I love when they're say
Money it's not problem
😂😂😂happy rich guy's
Hard work baby!
Nice auto ing. Someone’s got to do it ❤
what a load of marketing nonsense. until the late 1970s old racing cars were just second hand cars and they were bought by enthusiasts for resonable money and rightly so including all the Ferrari ex racing cars. Looking at cars as investments in recent years has just made them throw away toys for the rich, and put them out of the reach of many genuine enthusiasts.
I wish I live in that era where collectable item is for enthusiastic, not for the one who got more money
😢
I want to be Simon Kidston. Nice film 👍🏻
Glad you like it. Pass it on to a friend!
Wow.
Looking forward to when manufacturers step in and sell these cars to true enthusiasts.
Kinda like keeping birds in a cage…
LS swap in a GTO WD might give it a go.
I have been to several Beauty Concours in USA and Europe since 1995, despite beeing accessible to everibody to look at, it's a business boosted to sell you a crap Mercedes A class let you thinking you become a little part of automotive history.
On bigger money scale, is a tax avoid investment like "Artpiece".
How much money he pay for the Mercedes ???
135 million euros
@DWREV this is so stupid unbelievable !!! this is only a matter of big Ego !!!
@@the_patriot7 Having more money than they know what to do with...it's not a problem I ever expect to have!
Better than poxy art .
.
I do so hope these cars will survive the upcoming iconoclasm by the leftwing ICE haters...
All of that is bull. These cars will still be around, and guess what left wingers own classic cars as well. These aren't going anywhere, especially Ford model T and A. Millienals are starting to collect antique and classic cars as well it is just affordableity. I can name you quite a few of us progressive youngsters who collect these.
More ice lovers than haters, so lovers dominate
@@rogerdodrill4733 LOL exactly.
@@redemptionjack4657 That's all fine and dandy. However, there are many, many leftwing idiots that'll never be able to afford anything nice and expensive and believe me, they're ressentfull against people who can. Ressentfull enough to scratch or burn cars from those who can.
Why do they all sound like Jeremy Clarkson?
They be English,
Oh dah, the 300SLR was a straight eight...., Ferrari person of a certain age, and post 1 glass of a fine Pinot Noir, not researching what I say.....
Thanks for the comment. I've researched it without any Pinot, and you are indeed right. The SL was an M198 straight-six, while the SLR was a M196S straight-eight.
Hello, 300 SL is 6 cylinders....dah.....
Kidston's remark that no prospective buyer asks how the car drives says it all... Most of these buyers are no petrolheads. They invest. I personally world prefer them to buy paintings, so car and motorbike prices can return down to earth. Because I am a petrolhead and these investors kill the market for the enthusiasts.
They just make the market more valuable, would say it is more alive, not killed.
Totally agree! Classic cars (youngtimers included), although being an art pieces sometimes and often a result of great designer’s work and innovative thinking, still and most of all are symbols of liberation, of mobility, of sporting ambitions, glory, suffering and cause of death for so many great passionate pilots. Exactly because of the above they belong to the roads, streets, race tracks so they can shine, impress, entertain those who can appreciate them for what they are made to do - deliver joy of driving!
Having a collection open to public os great, racing GTO in historic racing is wonderful, but I wish some of these super rich came up with “Free Ride Day” kind of idea. There are so many old and young petrolheads who’d die to have even one mile driven in one of these machines and get inspired to create something great. Also Enzo will be much happier up there knowing his cars are getting revved up and raced instead of collecting expensive dust in some multi billion mansion’s garage 😉
Rumanian? Would you buy a used car from him?
Are you referring to Ion Tiriac? He's made Forbes' list of the weathiest Romanians for years, so he was more likely looking to add to his collection: www.tiriaccollection.ro/en/history
He is mysoginst
I wouldn't buy these even if I had the money. No car is worth the money these old fools are paying for them.
Free Palestine ❤😢😢
.
Old guys with expensive cars ... most of them outdated. A a Brit that robs people in his Auction Website 😂. What a joke...
this is idolatry "make yourself immortal" give me a break! this whole worshiping of a car must displease GOD to no end.
What do I think?
Monkey see monkey do, that's what I think!
There are other "cheaper" cars that cost less and can provide same if not better experience, but you gotta have the one that Fangio drove...
