- This very personal film, which took us on a road trip from England to Wales, France and Switzerland in a 77-year old sports car with a special story to tell.
This film was shot as a gift to our clients and aficionados for our company's 10-year anniversary and the 20-year anniversary of Home Kidston's passing. Five years later we are happy to share it with the RUclips community. We hope you like it.

I am a bit stunned that this is not more popular. So much better than most things around here.
Absolutely fantastic story. Thanks for this video, it’s a work of art.
Truly a well produced piece of art, touching story ….you should be very proud
The quality and subtlety of narration, the sense of personal, cultural and automotive heritage, together with Simon's unequaled ability to make his stories interwoven with the cars so emotive - to me, this is an absolute masterpiece that I continue to revisit very often. It exemplifies that cars are not purely an objects of art, or purely objects that enable experience, but rather that they let us discover and become part of both of these in our lives, interwoven in that je-ne-sais-quoi. Wonderful.
Very nice video presentation. Always first class. Money can buy lots of things but never Class and Breeding. These gentlemen are real legends.
What a wonderful tribute to your dad, Simon. Great parents make great kids 😍
I fully understand how you feel.
I drove the Opel Super Six (Kapitän) that my father bought new in 1939 for over 55 years.
My cradle stood in that car! (I was born in 1946).
The car had survived five years of German occupation then.
You are right: Cars do connect people.
Special cars do...
What a lovely tribute to a dad. Bravo
The most moving, emotionally vivid video I've ever watched about a car, a son, a journey, a company...and the lives touched by a very special machine....I'm choked.
Thank you so much Simon.
A wonderful video. What a story, beautifully narrated and filmed 👍
Very moving, I can only imagine the roller coaster of emotions involved for Simon visiting his past like that. 🙌
Exactly what i was thinking.
@@MrTimstaaa you would need to be well off just to fill it up. I would think it would do no more than 15 mpg ..less at full throttle. some of these were upgraded to hydraulic brakes. What I've learnt over time is that there are two ways of dealing with cars. one is with a human heart, the other a mechanical one. Always go with the latter !
Perfect story,cinematography and car!
These films stir the soul. None so much as this. I feel they will have their individual roles in automotive history as well. They continue to be the most enjoyable to watch and I cannot help but be mesmerized each and every time. Thank you Mr. Kidston for sharing this deep love which we have for these beautiful and wondrous machines.
It's not often that I find myself a little bit jealous of somebody born into such obvious wealth and taste !
I think I'm more jealous of Ivan and creative people than wealthy hoarders
@@robertely686 yep, I am a creative and I certainly have more respect for creative people than people who inherited their wealth. That's why I said that my touch of jealousy in this case was very rare for me.
All I can say is that Simon understands the connection we have to the art of the car, and more so how it affects people individually. This story is a great illustration of the connections it can illicit. And I might add it’s an unbelievable advertisement for Bugatti.
beautiful film. All I could think of towards the end was Gandalf: "....all we have to do is decide what to do with the time we are given." This blessed plot, this England.
Thank you for this superb insight into automotive passions that run through your family's DNA.
I feel privileged to be able to see this film. Writing 'thank you for sharing' seems so inadequate somehow ...
Just magnificent, a great tribute to your Father and Bugatti. I love the fact you opened with another of my favorite people in the motor world , Ivan Dutton , Shed Racing channel. A great story teller and passionate Motorhead. Coming Home is a great short film and once again I enjoyed it immensely, a truly beautiful Bugatti. Life is a series of circles, in the quit we hold on to the beginning of those earliest memories those childhood experiences which become the fabric of our dreams and passions, maybe someday we can reach out and grasp the past, the start of a memory a moment in our life, tie the two ends together, past & present. This is a moment of profound calm, and joy. Your story is that, you have brought the moments back together and made it whole, those who have experienced it in your story are much richer, because we have shared your happiness and completeness. Perhaps someplace, somewhere there will be another circle that is coming to a closure for someone, as we speak .
Just came across your channel Simon, beautiful videos and amazing stories, well done to you and your team for some very emotive storytelling.
As a dad myself……… im in tears watching this. Thank you
Instagram posting prompted my viewing of this beautiful story, my personal search continues...... Adrian
Félicitations, this is the epitomy of automotive video.
Thank you Simon.
Your videos always bring me joy. Great production values and fantastic audio, especially the driving. Always looking forward to your next.
Your french is impeccable :) Really nice movie, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic work Simon. A car is nothing without its history. And history is the people and places that played a role in a cars journey.
This film so passionately describes what it is about cars that excites so much....thank you for this top notch production. Ok now I am going to watch again.....
An immensely powerful and moving tribute.
beautiful video ! and what a story
When you come only to watch a car video but leaves full of emotions and respect
Thank you - a heart warming video that seems to be about much more than a car.
Nobody is doing anything close to this quality, utterly beguiling film, beautifully done, bravo.
Desperate times. Utter magnificence culture and art to be decimated by total horror. But the legends and aspirations live on... forever
I remember a short version of this and I'm more than happy to see a longer film. Thank you Simon. Its very moving
Great video. Thanks!
To few people are left in this world that know how to pay a tribute, without fearing to deal with Emotions authentically. Thank you for being that sort of a Human. Apparently, Yu and I are only three years apart. You Father was born three months apart from mine. They both seemed to have shared a passion for motor cars. Your Father for Bugatti's; my Father for Talbot Lago's and Mercedes sport cars... This is why, I thought it essential to Thank You!
I never met my dad, so this has a particular resonance for me. Thank you for this. It means Alot as a lifelong bugatti fan and the son of a single mom.
Thank you Simon for the short film !
"If it is comparable , it is no longer Bugatti" !!
can we all just take a moment to appreciate the production quality! Also this is the best romance film I have seen since Cinema Paradiso!
Una storia di famiglia emozionante. Splendida regia, complimenti.
Amazing Car! There so many interesting bodies on the Type 57. To be honest I much prefer these older Bugatti cars to the new ones. Tres Bien Fait! 😎👍🇨🇦
Astounding, and very moving. Thankyou Simon for sharing.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Splendid...
Just wow. A very powerful video. Thank you
What a touching video. Thank you.
A car an automobile??
A fantastic artistic expression
A work of art treasured for generations to come...
You decide 🤔
Well done sir thank you 😊👍
Catch up she'd racing, superb.
More of these magical films please Simon. Beautifully executed.
A car with a very special story, indeed. Thank you for sharing it with us.
That was a very touching automotive story.
Very moving. Superbly produced.
'' A very personal film'' indeed by Simon Kidston that I can perfectly relate to, since I too have a ''57'' & when I say I have a ''57'' I do have to explain it's a case of these numbers featuring in the registration plate of my late father's A Class Mercedes & which will be a more modest fifteen years old in September 2022 & six years of which I've been it's owner & for sure, every time I drive it, it never fails to '' bring me together'' with my father & I know he would have also loved to have known that he too was the owner of a ''57''
Thank you for such a compelling and personal story!
Congratulations
I really love what you are doing
Thanks for sharing this with all the rest of the mortals
Great film.
Hope you keep it forever!
A truly special bond and story. As always a fantastic and wonderful mini film, bravo 👏🏻
emozionante come sempre.
A beautiful, soulful documentary! I love your concept on how these cars are actually about how they connect people through time and space.
Wonderful tribute.
Cars bring people together. They do. Great story.
Magnificent production Simon & Co, wonderful work
Incredible story and production.
Thank you Mr. Kidston, an amazing beautiful and touching movie
Favoloso anche questo video.
È veramente emozionante poter ammirare un capolavoro di Arte Motoristica come questa stupenda Bugatti: grazie Signor Kidston 👍👍👍
What a beautiful video and story. Thank you for sharing and thank you for a glimpse of this magnificent car.
SK, heartfelt, a history with very little compare and a wonderful journey home. All of these wonderful machines that mean so much to us will out live us and tell our stories for many generations to come. We may not be famous, but our cars at least reveal a little of our lives. Thank you.
What a wonderful story and a wonderful car. I am so glad that it’s being driven.
Thanks for the great video.JDS in AZ usa
I love this! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
Simon you did it again, utterly brilliant maybe you should start making movies?
This so well done thanks for the escape cheers!
The music is hauntingly beautiful!
Lovely told story, brilliant camera and what an exciting car! Great work!
As someone incredibly lucky enough to have landed a job involved in the history of Bugatti specifically this is a gem and inspiration perhaps for my own future movies , look forward to seeing and learning much so more thank you !
Molto emozionante, grazie
bravo c'est merveilleux
As a car enthusiast I love all of the cars, the nice cars, the good cars and so on. And there are a lot of channels that talks all those lovely cars. And then there is your channel Mr. Kidston, a channel that is different from all of the others. Here no nice cars or good cars can enter, here only the excellence is admitted. All my esteem Mr. Kidston
Bravo !!!!
Exquisitely crafted...just like the Bugatti
Well, its about time i've seen a good video on cars & class at the same time on youtube. Well done 👏
I've had a couple of good chats with Ivan. He's a cracking old boy. The real deal. Not some shady spiv who spews verbal excreta awash with fibbery.
That aside this video is superb. Subtle and exquisite. Much like the Bugatti.
It's a rich mans world gentlemen and we are simply custodians whilst we are here..
Very nice, well done!
Pure class
Superb watch this.
amazing videos. very stylish
Great video, who was the old garage mechanic who dedicated life to cars etc.. didn't say how he fits in..more on he's story please..
❤
Bellissimo
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jodie Kidd and FU2 brought me here
Wow what a beautifully enigmatic film. Simon did you per chance have anything to do with the Type 57SC Gangloff and Atlantic in Ralph Laurens collection? And also what of the Aerolithe?
Goodness gracious me. I lost my composure viewing this.
Mister Kidston
It will be top an video in French about Rolls-Royce
😇
And in 80 years from now, some chap will be searching for his grandfather's Tesla Model 3 and re-living all the moments grandpa spent driving that lovely, plastic, digital masterpiece...
Hmm... nah, that will never happen. Cars have no soul nowadays.
That brings something else into question, it's the human attachment that makes the car special, it's the memories and experiences. Perhaps some chap will search for his grandfather's tesla, who knows.. :)
@@NomadicPhoton Dude, seriously... "human attachment"... to a Tesla??
@@viriatvsoflvsitania5422 Exactly; it's a refrigerator on wheels. Disposable white goods with the batteries stripped out and the rest in landfill.
Cant understand how an Englishman like this speaks French. I studied French for 4 years, passing every class... and I cannot speak one word of it
Simon or somebody, what is the orchestral score? Help!!
There's a Bugatti grave that has no first name on the headstone in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Does anyone know if this is a relation?
Awesome film; such a shame the video quality is so poor...
Hard to believe Kidston only has 7k subs. He must have some training or connection to the film industry to make films like this
would love to find my dads old car 4020 dw, vanden plas princess 3 litre, long since scrapped probably by the unscrupulous business man he had dealt with
