GOLD RUSH - Ferrari 250 SWB

Others have the privilege of making motoring history: we do our part to keep it alive and try to tell some of the lesser-known stories. This is one about a Swiss gentleman driver who, with his exotic blonde wife, became a familiar sight on the racetracks of Europe in the early 1960s at the wheel of a distinctive Ferrari granturismo. It's a car we've come to know well, having supervised its painstaking rebirth after years of neglect and finding it a new home in 2016. You'd think that an amateur pairing from a country not associated with motorsport might have been happy minding its own business at the back of the grid. But you'd be mistaken. After all, people once claimed that a landlocked country would never achieve much in sailing.
Starring: 1960 Ferrari SWB

These films have a quality you just never see on youtube .

[@robertjohansson3744]

I love this story. Great idea republishing the old films on youtube and thanks for the effort in making them.

[@KidstonProductions]

Enjoy mate!

[@jeffbertucen1839]

Kidston’s short films brilliantly capture the spirit of why so many of us love classic cars. It’s not just the machines themselves, it’s the romance, the innocence and the heroism of an age that will never return. Bravo Simon, please keep them coming

[@jamesallison4875]

Sheer beauty and genius of expression.

[@chriswestcott4548]

One of the most beautiful cars ever built. A masterclass in cinematography. Amazing settings and amazingly shot.

[@ZondaF355]

These are the most touching automotive stories produced. Thank you for sharing what real car enthusiasts are looking for. Simply beautiful

[@ghibli608]

So appropriate for Valentine’s Day… ❤ In many ways, my all time favorite Ferrari. The story is so touching.

[@Drieu2000]

Another fantastic film from Kidston. Merci beaucoup for that Kind of Art!

[@achintyaaatreya]

This film is remarkably well produced. It portrays the car and it's story in such a classy manner.

[@ericohara2582]

You get these films absolutely right... thank you.

[@jmaudsley6544]

Delicious as always. Thank you

[@joshr805]

Amazed that this doesn't have more views. This was excellent

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

Words can't express my feelings when watching such a masterpiece of car design.

Ho scoperto questo canale grazie al video miura vs daytona,ma devo dire che la qualità di questi video, la storia, il ritmo, la colonna sonora sono tutti sapientemente miscelati. Sarebbe in grado di fare un video sulla mia scassatissima macchina e farlo sembrare epico e pieno di sentimento.

[@KidstonProductions]

Grazie mille, apprezziamo molto!

[@goodfest007]

Lovely car, lovely story told by a lovely lady…

[@davidm-1965tb]

Wow. What a powerful film! These cars may be just metal and rubber, but they retain the personality and memories of the people that passed by. Brilliant, and, as ever, fabulous quality short film. Thanks

[@ridgeolenroot771]

I enjoyed every second of it and beautifully choreographed!

[@andyjohnson4767]

Love these stories from Kidston, just brilliant

[@thedrivechannel83]

Great story so well done.

[@Dronescapes]

Very creative and well told as always. Congrats

[@nickrichardson7451]

Your films create a passion for the classic cars and this one was simply stunning. I’m sure I’m not alone in wanting to know more of the golden car and it’s owners!
You also succeed in making me want to take my old Ferrari out for an early morning or late night drive!

[@keithsclassicgarage1133]

Love the connection!

[@rosettedsouza7265]

Another excellent video Simon, you truly capture the love and emotional elements perfectly, thank you

[@keithskelton5596]

Amazing camera work
Thank you for posting
Such a wonderful story 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

[@nicolapatella6929]

La protagonista del video (non quella su quattro ruote) ad un certo punto pronuncia nel suo delicato francese la parola "spirituel". Beh avete cucito tutto il video in maniera che abbia un'aura di meravigliosa spiritualità. Complimenti!

[@emiliodiaz3927]

Man the line of her hair caught me off guard, I teared up

[@marcbemelmans6139]

Great taste and culture

[@bcaviews]

What a lovely video as usual!

[@vitormanuelsousa5655]

Amazing!!! Congratulations 🥰🥰 !! What a great story!

[@rrs8421]

Whats great about the films and subjects is that they are real, meaning they speak to you, we have a connection to the Car and the people, in more cases its the car that survives the people, my sense when I see these films is that the owners and drivers leave an indelible imprint, thats great and its emotional and thats good film making getting to the heart.

[@rodasrodas]

Just wonderful. Thank you

[@dimi911]

[@trevorpayne9671]

Do you have any videos of the 1930s Alfas by Figoni - some of the most beautiful cars out

[@edwardbartlett2943]

Beautifully magnificent.

[@KidstonProductions]

Many thanks!

[@cornishrider]

Wow is allI can say

[@TR4man]

Wonderful

[@Pietervdv]

The only downside is that it's too short!

[@juanma3100]

😍...

[@lorenzo246gt7]

Vista da Bonini 😉

[@flat6croc]

Great video, fab car. But, Jaysus, what a travesty to paint a 250 SWB fugging gold. Rationalise it however you want, but short of something idiotic like fluorescent pink, it's about as bad a colour as you could imagine.

[@WheelNuts]

Beautiful.
