1963 TVR Grantura: Eye Candy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Gregorie Desmons has always had a sensitivity to the aesthetic elements of life, and so for him the first impulses to own classic sports cars came from the question of form rather than horsepower. Though many will argue that art following its purest definition shouldn’t be concerned with anything practical like transportation, we all know the truth to be otherwise. For the same reasons that architecture blends with sculpture, the fact that a machine can be so beautiful to look at while simultaneously providing a solution to a problem very much rooted in cold hard physics is more than enough reason to consider certain cars something far more than a means of moving ourselves around. That’s certainly how Gregorie feels about his Mark III TVR Grantura.

incredible how some of you can follow petrolicious and dislike the grandiose nature of this man, this is the exact owner I’d love to meet and chat with for hours... a true petrolhead
same for me!
Incredible how you can like Petrolicious at all.......LOL.
As a TVR owner I can we are a bit on the eccentric side but I think you have to be own a car like the TVR I friends with Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and it the my Vixen that garners the attention when we go to meet ups it just neat unique and cool car.
I concur.
Great car.
Great owner.
Great video.
Thank you, Petrolicious.
Everything in petrolicious videos are eye candy. Testament to the Quilty of content with the cinematography and editing!
Let's not forget the audio quality either. I love hearing these classics. It would be nice if they made longer sections of just the owner driving so we could hear the car more.
Agreed !
that thing sounds insane and looks absolutely gorgeous
Wonderful ! brings back a lot of memories. In the mid 1960's my friends older brother had one of these- with a Coventry Climax engine as I recall. It was stored for a while in my Mother's garage and one short trip in it helped ignite the spark and make me a lifelong petrol head.
This man and this car... They go so hand-in-hand, that one wouldn't be without the other.
The way the video was shot and music was spot on! Btw this owner has some real artistic skill, love the painting of his car🇺🇸👍😎
I'm not an art lover but his paintings really stuck out to me as beautifully well done. The whole video was fantastic as well.
Have to disagree on the music. Not quite sure why they used American rock when it's a British car. Lots of great British rock from the '60s. Something like 'The Kinks - All Day and All Of The Night' would have been perfect.
Probably the only person who can rock a leopard-shirt!
agree! :)
In 1964, my cousin returned from Oxford to Canada with this car 1963 TVR, I never forgot that car and it started me on my way to driving and loving sports cars ever since. I think I aways saw that car as some sort of mythical object. My cousin raced that car and drove the hell out of it in Toronto for years.
Merci à Petrolicious ! Beau reportage.
Extremely cool car and driver as well! Perfect match!
Tolles Auto, kannte den gar nicht und der Besitzer, top! Eine perfekte Symbiose. Jeder Film von euch ist echt großes Autokino. Chapeau.
The spice of life! Thank you!
Beautiful car, charming owner, excellent video like always. The owner makes me think about Tintin by Hergé.
The lines in these classic cars are marvelous.
this is one of the best looking and interesting cars i've seen.
Is that Anto Ego from ratatouille?
I thought the exact same thing and was about to comment haha. Funny look alike not considering that he seems like a nice guy with an admirable passion for beautiful cars.
J'adore le style du mec, sa vision de la voiture ancienne. Quel talent à travers ses tableaux !!
First time I recognize places I've been in a Petrolicious film. Fun !
Love the car and the paintings are beautiful as well
Whoa, this guy is totally fruitloops, and I love his over the top style contrasted to what seems to be a serene demeanor. And what a cool little coupe. I love whatever the exhaust "engineers" did at Trevor's coachworks. I've never heard a TVR I didn't like.
Stunning! Thank you for sharing your beautiful TVR
Absolutely wonderful. I want that Grantura painting.
Eye candy indeed. What a beauty
magnifique !
La plus belle des TVR! Magnifique!
OMG this is beautiful
Beautiful! His art is captivating as all hell too...
A man with character...matched purfectly with this car dripping with character.
Although his rain coat almost didn't fit in the car with him.
I loved his art and photographs matched his life style...."Perfect Petrolicious".....RIPE!
If there were only a translation button... The cinematography is as usual, outstanding. Accompanying music just perfection. Subject matter, well, it's a car. What more can I say. Did I mention the absence of a translation button?
There are text captions for this video and they are in english (at least for me)
@@jensenhealey907efi brilliant news.....How does one activate those helpful little devils ?
Nice car, nice movie, nice sounds, nice music.
I love the sound of that TVR, mmm mmm mmmmmm
Bruxelles, la place Flagey et les étangs d'Ixelles de nuit ! :)
What a cool video ! And a cool man !
I've been seeing photos online of this Grantura for years now, so i'm really happy to learn more about it.
In the pantheon of great British sports cars, IMHO all TVR's (as a marque) and the Griffith/Grantura (as a model) are highly underrated! What a fantastic car and as with most Petrolicious videos, it's obvious the owner Gregorie truly loves his car. Also, like many enthusiasts I can't wait until the new TVR (finally) comes out! Gregorie, thanks for sharing your awesome piece of British motoring history! Cheers mate!
Love the shape and size of this car. And it fits perfect to the owner style :) Imagine the under 1000kg car with the v8 engine that was mentioned by Gregorie: Beast & Cobra killer!!
With every video I find a new dream car
Many thanks for sharing with us all this amazing video Absolutely gorgeous isn't it! x-x
There seems to be a shift towards portraying more of the owner instead of the car, same thing in the last video. Nothing against giving the owner some time to talk but would be nice to have the car, it's design and sound more in focus.
That's basically like telling Petrolicious to not be who they are. This is something they've been doing from day one and it's what sets them apart from the others... History of the car, the owner, how the owner became interested and ended up with the car, the owner's perspective of the car's place in history, etc... All very Petrolicious and shedding light on the ongoing relationship between man and machine.
It’s always been about the driver, their story of the car and the car itself. Have you not watched any of their other content? Always been this way.
macheifach Yeah, I was going to complain about the lack of engine sounds, editors: please fix this.
@@Mantenner Not true, there are episodes, where the car, its look and sound dominates the video and the driver is more in the background. Anyway, it's good quality either way.
Petrolicious have always kind of been character collectors, but I suppose there's a balance and this one is leaning a bit too far to the driver for my taste as well. I mean look at that car!
Simply gorgeous
beautiful...
Beautiful.
MORE TVR please
Très belle découverte que cette TVR inconnue pour moi.
Son propriétaire est vraiment raccord avec elle et en parle très bien.
Merci Petrolicius pour la qualité du sujet et des images 👍
Fabulous!
This guy is the perfect owner for this car.
You ruined the video with the very loud music. Can't hear the man speak and the car sing.
I can really appreciate this particular video. As a teenager (with a teenager's budget) growing up in the midwestern United States I was attracted to a Triumph Spitfire as my very first car for many of the same reasons. (In Illinois it certainly wasn't considered a practical year-round car by any means.) It looks like Gregorie indeed found his perfect car. That TVR has some stunningly beautiful lines along with more than enough soul to back up that beauty.
This guy is the complete French package. Love this.
Belgian in fact ;)
@@regisbigot2037 - I stand corrected. Thank you.
@@CantThinkofaCoolOne No matter ;)
Hot car, cute guy!
Great vid as usual Petrolicious! Mini-docu on person and their car is such a unique delight.
What an amazing car
YESSS!! A TVR, finally :O)
Interesting person, interesting car, thanks Petro!
I want one!
The TVR is a beauty and a BEAST in one!! Thanks Petrolicious, you do it again!!
Fantastic - Une Homme avec bon taste, elegant style and I agree with Monsieur that these Granturas have soul. A lovely Petrolicious film as ever. Vive La France !
Belgium representing 💪
I'm amazed it's as much as 950kg! I used to have one, with a pre-crossflow Ford engine, but never got to drive it, and never weighed it, but...950kg?
Seems impossible, that's 200kg more than my S1 Lotus Elise 111S!
when Americans think of a French guy, this dude is the perfect example 👌
He is belgian ;-)
Ahah 😭😂
Wow a car I never knew existed before now. TVR has some crazy body engine combinations. Great video as always thanks.
Pardon my French but that car positively kicks ass.
The new King of cool !!
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 :-( :-(
Perfecto !
I have no idea what he was saying, but I love the video non-the less. I guess when it comes to passion for beautiful classic cars language is irrelevant.
@@Petrolicious I love watching your non-English language features twice. First without subtitles, then with. The art speaks for itself :)
My friend and I recently rediscovered the 2500/vixen/tuscan and have been utterly in love with the styling and proportions. A forgotten gem of indescribable beauty.
De Grantura is één van de meest onderschatte sportwagens. Dank u wel Gregorie!
Thankyou :)
Congrats to the owner and team for another great video!
@petrolicious please, please do a video on my favourite car of all time, the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS!!! Please......
As I can’t afford an original one... I’m building a faithful replica, check my Instagram @904_gts
Cheers
Où est-ce que vous avez fait produire la plaque avant svp? Ça m’intéresse.
Très belle auto, pleine de charme ! Merci pour ce partage, et les magnifiques images accompagnant un commentaire de passionné.
What a beauty!
Yestercars..WOW w w w w )))),.. THE 'FINE BER -ART' ,..OOPPS S S S ! ! ! ,.. THE FIBERGLASS OF BODY !?!
My birth year 1963 and January 8th complete my birthday 😍👍
How do they find all these cars ? Do people put themselves forward for it and then, if selected, the petrolicious guys turn up to film it?
"Every trip is an adventure in a TVR". Yes indeed. I had a TVR S2 and while it never left me stranded, every trip was an adventure in finding and curing new rain leaks, dodgy earths and new rattles. I think the owner of every TVR is the R&D department with the number of improvements I had to make. Went like a rocket but not a go to work motor.
john marsh ha ha I hear you but off to work in a minute in my TVR. Can’t beat the make you feel alive driving in one
Ok I keep watching this video as I do a number of Petroliscious vids. This guy should sell his art and photographs...I like his work.I like his enthusiasm..I even like his shirt...I wouldnt wear it myself but I had a similar pair of cowboy boots in the 1980s I wore.
I like his passion for the classic cars ...Its a Petroliscious hall mark to find these Car and Drivers.
This is all in my world veiw of sports cars.
Something is terribly ascew these days...so many popping chevy LS motors in every classic they can get their hands on.
Along with the mentality " if it doesnt have over 500hp its lame.
The same mentality has spread into drag racing High performance exotics to determine which is best in a 1/4 mile run. Not on a road coarse or thru a mountain pass or a proper race track...only evaluation ,they regard of value ,is 0-60.
They some how missed the styling, the mechanical intricacies,
the design teams solutions to light weight strength...just to me, the ham fisted mentality has completely taken over the sophistication of the Sports Car.
Surely the illigally stolen wealth of the middle eastern countries that flood London in the 2 weeks of holidays the 27 year olds fly in their five or six exotics each To race thru the streets like they do in Dubai .Blatantly spending the family dollars ,like water on a Miami Lawn.
The "Selfies " are the biggest thrill!
Petroliscious is like a laser , cutting thru this "Simple minded mentality"FOG.......Thank The Sports Car Gods !!!
This dude is so french...jajaja he only needs a naked lady watching him paint at home to be the arketype. Awesome TVR bytheway
Congratulations in driving a dream and an icon with what your lifestyle is about of beauty and art and the freedom driving this spectacular rare machine that you carefully tastefully as an art..
"Actually driving the car, that's not the draw."
J'adore la caisse mais alors la couleur 😍😍😍
Si quelqu'un à des pistes sur le code couleur je suis preneur car je suis fan !
Merci d'avance !
Amazing Camerawork makes cars more pleasant .
Dark gray chrome colour is the
Perfect shine for the cars from 40's and 50's era
TVR. Jaguar. McClaren. Lotus. Aston Martin. MG. Austin Healey. Bristol. Sunbeam. Morgan. Alvis. Jensen. AC. Triumph. All of them English.
We built these Cars. You.....didn't.
Please excuse our brilliance.
Radical, última, Bentley, ariel, caterham, marcos mantis, aaaand Lola? Even more Perhaps. Italy and England for me are the pinnacle of cat beauty, but with England you have to scratch the surface to find brilliant not so well known cars
Car owners on Petrolicious all have character, but none bigger than this guy!
100% this güy speaks English
do some subtitles, it would make this video just a little bit better. Ace film
Yeah, what Paddy McQueen said.
I think a Gabriel Voisin would suit this man very well!
Those rims 😍
This chap is a walking & breathing caricature of the French.
I love this site u guys should make more wish u best don't give up
Yes, TVR.. owned 7 myself... my last 2 were both rare SEACs, a 420 and 450.. much missed cars..
Does anyone know the song at 2:28 ? Such a cool sounding song for a cool car
I like Trevors but the Grantura was pig ugly.
awesome cinematography!!!
Where can I buy his art?
Another great video. Where do they find these guys?
It takes a Frenchman to understand that certain je ne sais quoi.
I’m not gay but what a beautiful man and what a beautiful car!
