  • You’ve heard the name. You’ve heard the hype. Can it really live up to it?
    Until now I’d never driven one, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to again. Three minutes isn’t enough to do it justice, but with the volume up hopefully you get the idea...Sorry but I had to give it back!

    Three minutes and seventeen seconds of pure bliss! I can only imagine what it must feel like to savour such senses...

    I knew the man, Bill Chizar, who rescued this car from the scrap, in 1970. Serial number 0718 was built in 1957 and was entered in the 1958 24 hours of Le Mans by a Belgian team. It DNF.
    Bill found it in Sacramento and paid $1200 for it with a Chevy engine. He acquired a Testa Rossa engine from another TR that had been destroyed by fire, and over a period of 12 years, he and his brother restored it. Once completed he took best of class at Pebble Beach. I knew him in the late 80s, and although not a rich man , he vintage raced the car at Leguna Seca. Around 1989 or 1990, he sold the car to Norman Baker from Nebraska. Mr. Baker acquired the original matching number engine (0718) and reunited it to the chassis. It was on the cover of Cavilino Magazine.
    It looks beautiful here in the video.
    It’s been over 30 years since I’ve seen the car up close. It was beyond stunning then!
    Thank You for bringing back memories.
    Is it now based in the UK?

    "Everything you need, and nothing you don't." I NEED a 250 Testa Rossa, and do NOT NEED anything else. Simon is a perfect man to take the Testa Rossa out and give it some good wellie. He clearly enjoys his time behind the wheel. These Kidston videos are addicting. As good as it could ever get........

    Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
    from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
    Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
    on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas
    station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
    pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in
    the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems,
    turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and
    New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be
    done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of
    crime here, called emissions and smoke crime....

      That does not mean much. We always set these “guidelines” and end up disrespecting them by 50 years. It also doesn’t mean that driving cars built before those dates will be illegal. It’s like saying you can’t drive a car without airbags today. Of course you can. Common sense will prevail.
