Seeing him always takes me back to the video he did of the Enzo and the F1. That video was one of the most influential videos I saw as a kid while getting into cars.
so well said, no wonder Tiff has little time for all these modern 750bhp exotics with over complicated nanny state driving aids and "safety" just learn to drive....
I met Tiff at the GFOS several years ago. He was just sitting at a table with a few copies of his books towards the end of the day, nobody else around just relaxing. He was a top bloke, couldn’t have been nicer after I ruined his quiet time. We need more of Tiff on our screens, a genuine driving legend!
Tiff is who I want to be when I grow up. Top man! Humility and sheer class. Always look forward to your videos. My first ever comment on RUclips; I could not resist Mr Needell's charm.
Glad to see you're getting Tiff involved with this channel - truly one of the best motoring presenters out there, and a genuinely passionate man of Motorsport. Well worth listening to Chris Harris' podcast with him, if you've not already
Tiff is one of those presenters you can’t fault! Such a wonderful on screen presence and his passion for cars is fantastic! We need to see more of him!
I love it Tiff, so genuine and unpretentious, you had me with the Same Car 45 years ago won, won again 45 years later, Same car, simple kit, fast as they weigh nothing..... Brilliant straight up garage, nice & simple 👍
Remember meeting you around ‘91 at Donnington Park. You were smiling from ear-to-ear doing 360 doughnuts whilst on opposite lock, whilst we dabbled in single seaters. Love the Countax mower. We have one too. They must leave the factory looking battered and bruised - but go on forever. Let’s race them together. Winner takes the bonnet (as a spare). 😉👍
Remember hearing his voice playing TOCA Touring Car Championship and then realizing it was the same guy that reviewed the insane McLaren F1 in Top Gear, shouting "THIS IS SENSATIONAL!". Fell in love with the car and became a fan of the show and the man.
We love Tiff! 😁 (and that's seriously nice that he bought back the car where it all started and has been out and won a race in her again, since - just epic) 👍
That made me smile profoundly when he opened the garage door and sitting there all beautiful was that race car 🏎 even more so when the sound of her starting up 😁
There is something heartwarming about seeing Tiff with that Formula Ford from so many years ago. The way he knows all those little quirks and tricks, and the undimmed affection for something that is so key to his life story. If there is such a thing as "wholesome" in the world of motorsport, it has to be Tiff coaxing his old car into life with an unforced smile and obvious deep seated happiness . We should all be so fortunate.
This is why we love Tiff. It’s not about glitz and glamour but nostalgia and happy memories.
Proper Class.
Tiff is a national treasure
And a couple of happy accidents...
Terminal Velocity same here 😇
...And a light weight lotus of course.
Such a pleasant and professional individual. Shame we dont see more of Tiff
Tiff is also on @LoveCars RUclips channel. I cannot recommend it enough
he was on that 5th gear show, but top gear was more popular.
I was thinking the same thing. I want to be like that when I'm his age.
Hey Vinny C, thanks for letting us know about @love cars! Didn't know that one! Love it! Exactly what I was looking for!
Number 69, and the Durex panel in the background. Oh Tiff, what are you like
Takes a guy called pornosam to notice the durex panel in the background.
pornosam84 he 68 at the moment. He must be excited.😆
Tiff has a screen presence magic that just transports you back to when you first developed a passion for cars as a child.
One of the best presenters Top Gear ever had back in the day, far better than Angela Rippon and Noel Edmonds
His enthusiasm really contagious. The way he talk about car very convincing.
Seeing him always takes me back to the video he did of the Enzo and the F1. That video was one of the most influential videos I saw as a kid while getting into cars.
Provenance and emotion. Much better than the other poser collections out there, gotta love Tiff.
so well said, no wonder Tiff has little time for all these modern 750bhp exotics with over complicated nanny state driving aids and "safety" just learn to drive....
Those youtubers also turn their collections into retirement funds. By old age they'll just have a ride-on lawnmower as well.
Did anybody else smile like an idiot when the car started?
I laughed and woke the missus up.
Well yes
Wasn't he on LoveCars
Yep 😁
Absolutely!
It's great having Tiff on the channel. Only Tiff could roll a ride on mower 😂😂
Top chap 👍
I thought it was Hammond business
It's only Hammond business if it involves paramedics!
Andy Wilman said in an interview that Tiff is the one who taught Jeremy how to drive and powerslide around racing tracks. A down to earth legend
Tiff seems like such a genuine, down to earth bloke. Always liked watching him.
That’s way cooler than some Lamborghini or Ferrari!
What was cooler than anything was Tiff's hair back then.
Can you guys invite Tiff for an episode of The Grand Tour? PLEEEEASE.
I would actually love to see that
@@bspencer6416 Or... Have the old Fifth Gear team do their own version of The Grand Tour?!?!
I think he's too pleasant and polite :) maybe a bit too elegant for the boys lol

How can you not like Tiff? He’s brilliant, would like to see him and Clarkson have a Zoom chat
Best I can do (and arguably better than your suggestion) is this: ruclips.net/video/6-ePt-6BQGo/видео.html
Haha who use zoom ?? Dont you care About who is able to connect to your device?
@@Stator720 seen it, great podcast series
I don't often give a like, but here I did. Keep Tiff on this Channel !
Tiff is who I want to be when I grow up. Top man!
Humility and sheer class. Always look forward to your videos.
My first ever comment on RUclips; I could not resist Mr Needell's charm.
The mower rolling is one of my top Tiff stories.
I love Tiff, he's just great fun to watch
Are you a fellow shadow realmer?
Humble way of living. I like that.
Glad to see you're getting Tiff involved with this channel - truly one of the best motoring presenters out there, and a genuinely passionate man of Motorsport.
Well worth listening to Chris Harris' podcast with him, if you've not already
Worhty winner of that competition: I doubt anybody else would have taken that much care of that car, or use it so well.
This was very satisfying to watch especially seeing the joy on Tiff's face as he starts up the Ford-Lotus
5 dislikes are from drivers who lost with Tiff at Thruxton
Or disappointed Ferrari owners.
Tiff is one of those presenters you can’t fault! Such a wonderful on screen presence and his passion for cars is fantastic! We need to see more of him!
Tiff you are my No. 1 racing driver hero! I have grown up with all of your content, and my friends even joke how much influence you have on me!
I love it Tiff, so genuine and unpretentious, you had me with the Same Car 45 years ago won, won again 45 years later, Same car, simple kit, fast as they weigh nothing..... Brilliant straight up garage, nice & simple 👍
I love Tiff Needell! You need to have him in more videos!!!
It's incredible how a car can change someone life's, Tiff is really someone to be admired!!
It’s absolutely delightful to watch you Tiff and how much love you have for that car.
What a lovely fella Tiff is, I know he will never see this but I just hope he knows every one loves him and we all think he’s a great guy
Everyone loves Tiff.
I absolutely love this man. Humble. Smart. Legend.
The durex sign is because racing drivers always like to come first...
It's impossible to dislike Tiff! - Next video should be us watching Tiff mow his lawn
Absolutely love happiness and connection of Tiff with the cars. Beautiful ride and well deserved sire.
Just found this video and it saved my day. What a nice guy...love this FF and the story surrounding it.
Tiff ..... your passion is exuberant. The face you make and you exclamation when the engine fires up are simply priceless. 😎🤘
Wow what a prize to win! A racing car! It’s so sweet you’ve still got it after all these years and it looks in great condition.
Always a pleasure to watch Tiff's videos. He's so enthusiastic about cars and talk about his racing career with so much passion. Awesome.
Salute to you Tiff.... 30+ years old race car, start on first press of the button!!! Respect!!
Tiff is hands down my favourite motoring personality ... completely down to earth it’s been a pleasure to watch him since the late 80s
Love these videos from Tiff
Genuinely great person that Tiff!
we all love tiff!
hope to see more tiff videos in future
that is the grin of a man seeing his first love again, what an amazing car to have with you. i can feel tiff's love for the machine from the video
Tiff always seems to be having the best day of his life.
The way Tiff talks. So nice to listen to
Been watching RUclips all day and this is the best video. Great story.
Thanks for sharing this video, absolutely loving the last bit Tiff!
Wow this is awesome. Tiff has always been one of my favorite drivers/presenters and nothing has changed!
Remember meeting you around ‘91 at Donnington Park. You were smiling from ear-to-ear doing 360 doughnuts whilst on opposite lock, whilst we dabbled in single seaters. Love the Countax mower. We have one too. They must leave the factory looking battered and bruised - but go on forever. Let’s race them together. Winner takes the bonnet (as a spare). 😉👍
Tiff, without trying to be cool , you are ice cold cool. Love the emotion and pleasure these machines bring you. 👍
Saw tiff running this at thruxton revivial a few years back..
Was that the Easter revival around 2013? I was there and I think he came third?
Tiff is the best. More please.
I love him even more now 😁. seems like a really cool guy.
I was fortunate enough to do a few laps of Brands Hatch with Tiff driving an M3 a few years ago. Great fun and a properly nice guy.
A delightful episode, more Tiff please 🙏
So glad Mr. Needell is contributing to this channel.
loving the durex logo on the bit of bodywork in the trophy shelf
Lovely to see the car after reading about it in Tiff’s book
Tiffs the man, been a fan of his since was a kid
Suddenly the best car video I've seen all year! Show us more of this car. Love the enthusiasm and the familiarity with how the car works.
More of this man please. I always though that he's most underrated motoring journalist. Its true
How can you not love this man. Tiff for POTUS
Remember hearing his voice playing TOCA Touring Car Championship
and then realizing it was the same guy that reviewed the insane
McLaren F1 in Top Gear, shouting "THIS IS SENSATIONAL!".
Fell in love with the car and became a fan of the show and the man.
Man, they gave out racecars in the 70s?
I was thinking the same, one of the most random things I've ever seen!
Can we please have James May do a tour of his bikes? I'm guessing he has time and is probably keen to share!
Yeah! I would like to see that too :D
I can hear him droning on in my head right now......when does it premiere?
@@rideroll9609 Well there isn't much left of those to show
Best collection ever, can't imagine having such a longstanding history with a car.
We love Tiff! More Tiff please more more more!
Tiff is one wholesome bloke. Remember watching him at fifth gear. So awesome. Cheers
How can you not love this man
Love you Tiff !!!!!! Much love from your #1 fan in Ohio !!!!!!!
That formula ford just warmed my heart. Keep it racing and stay young forever
We love Tiff! 😁
(and that's seriously nice that he bought back the car where it all started and has been out and won a race in her again, since - just epic) 👍
You gotta love Tiff. true professional and an amazing driver. There's not he cant do with a car. Absolute legend
Love the durex advertisement on the shelf at the back 😂👍🏼
Nice to see he's got the magical 69 on his race car
And a Durex sign in the background.
If you asked him, he'd probably try to claim it was because it's a Lotus 69F, but we all know the real reason :-)
I was looking for this comment
Nice
Bellissima
That made me smile profoundly when he opened the garage door and sitting there all beautiful was that race car 🏎 even more so when the sound of her starting up 😁
I’m so glad that you managed to get your car back, thank you for sharing your story.
Tiff is an absolute legend. Would watch anything he does.
That was brilliant! Thanks Tiff ❤
Such a character! I love that guy since i first saw him as a kid watching 5th gear. Such a cool and classy guy.
Love the Durex sign on the rear shelf alongside the trophies. Haha
Love ya work Tiff
Love this guy!!
Tiff is the best.
That is an incredible car- a memorabilia- classic art work... a masterpiece!
Love it, I did enjoy his commentaries on the old Top Gear pretty Hammond and May.
Such a gentleman, and with such wit
Thanks for sharing Tiff
Very, very nice video. Tiff is a true enthusiast
Awesome. This man is pure class
There is something heartwarming about seeing Tiff with that Formula Ford from so many years ago.

changed the racing number from 29 to 69, nice.
must have like not been invented in 1971 or something.
Tiff my favourite presenter and a thoroughly decent chap!
I love everything about this.
Such a genuine fella.
That's really cool Tiff! 👌
More Tiff please!
Wow thats amazing! More history from Tiff please :)
Tiff is great, I wanna have a beer or five with him lol. Cool dude
Wonderful Tiff!
