The sad thing about this is Amanda represents the type of wonderful, enthusiastic and passionate owner/custodian that rarely exists now. Principally because of the Collectability and values. I hope she enjoys the car for many more years!
@@jasonplugowsky3086 She is 76, she knows that sooner rather than later it will be time to pass it along. But I hope that won't be for quite a few years. I'm 78, mortality is becoming an issue I give more attention to every day.
I own a 69 Alfa duetto spider fairly original. I drive it a lot and from time to time someone will say, you should keep it parked! Granted it’s not on the same value as a Ferrari but still. It always bugs me that comment.
@@DavidM-mb1vx The nice thing about a 105/115 Alfa is that they can be driven all the time. They were made on assembly lines, these days there is a good parts situation, they can be kept running. In a perfect world I would have a step nose Sprint.
You will never meet more down to earth people than Amanda and Phips (misspelled in the article). I got emotional watching her get emotional, because she really is just so incredibly passionate about their cars. The pleasure they get from the cars as a couple is immeasurable. Wonderful caretakers.
I had the pleasure of meeting both Amanda and Phips when they visited Italy with the 166 for Ferrari's 50th anniversary. We started talking at the Braglia stadium celebration in Modena and I could help them a bit getting some help from Ferrari. I remember they came out to our place for dinner and Phips drove me around the hills. Please if you are in contact with them give them my regards. I believe they remember me, I was an engineer at Ferrari GES on my way out... Maurizio Ferrari (not related)
There must be an international law that protects this type of cars. This is not just an old car, this is a moving artifact. These cars must be exempted from combustion-engined car phaseout if the time has come
Exactly! don’t worry about the majority of cars in the world that people use to get to work . We will manage as long as older collector cars stay exempt 😂
Not really ICE cars will certainly exist for atleast 100 yrs more but everything is probably hybrid. Btw a new corvette was launched just yesterday 1000hp naturally aspirated v8 engine lol not a hybrid
@wilcisco1159........I very much doubt that combustion-engined cars will be phased out anytime soon. In fact, I predict that EV's will disappear long before that!
You need not to worry. There are already cars still on the road that don't meet emission and safety standards and no way that is going to change. Synthetic fuels are being developed right now so classic cars can still be driven so even if we run out of oil, these cars can still be used.
Thank you to all the Ferrari crew who made this lovely video. Thank you to Amanda for allowing the world to see your Ferrari car. The engine noise, the design and the great condition of the car it’s amazing 🎉❤️
Early Ferraris and Porsches, being from the same era, are the vehicles that started what amounted to being the two most influential brands in automotive history. I believe there is a bit of these cars in every car that followed. To see an early Ferrari still on the road and under private ownership is a wonderful surprise.
What a beautiful Ferrari and a piece of history. Her comment about not listening to the radio reminds me of a visit to the Ferrari factory in the summer of 1981. I was given a tour of the factory, what an incredible memory. At the end of the tour we were taken to a large warehouse that was full of new Ferrari's waiting to be delivered. A woman asked our tour guide why there were no radios in the cars. The guide said, but madam the engine is the music. And truly it is with a Ferrari.
Brilliant. I love that you found this by chance whilst in NZ doing something else, and knew you needed to feature it (and her; she's a true enthusiast). It's a fantastic story of the passion that makes all this stuff matter.
"Ferraris are rolling sculptures." "This car doesn’t have a radio, but to me, it’s the sound of the engine." "Everything in the car comes to life." This defines every Ferrari. Since 1947, Ferrari’s relentless passion and craftsmanship are evident in every detail, perfectly showcased by the 1948 model in this video. Bravo! "Le Ferrari sono sculture in movimento." "Questa macchina non ha una radio, ma per me è il suono del motore." "Ogni cosa nella macchina prende vita." Questo definisce ogni Ferrari. Dal 1947, la passione e l’artigianalità inarrestabili di Ferrari sono evidenti in ogni dettaglio, perfettamente esemplificati dal modello del 1948 in questo video. Bravi!
I owned a Ferrari 365GTB/4 in the late '90s and have had the opportunity to drive most newer Ferraris since including the Enzo. When I drove the SF90 three years ago I was shocked to find no big red Start/Stop button on the console. In its place was an almost invisible touch button built into the bottom of the steering wheel. By removing the sense of occasion on start up Ferrari has forgotten who they are and lost the plot!
What a great heartwarming story! This is the kind of passion and emotion that only Ferrari can evoke. Thank you Amanda and Philip for taking such good care of this beautiful and historic masterpiece. Enzo would be so happy to see one of the first Ferraris still being driven and enjoyed like this. I absolutely love this video.
All classic car owners should be as passionate about their cars as this lady. To love the car as it is and as it has always been is a testament to classic car ownership.
Appreciates Amanda love for her car, as much as i love hearing her story of her car. Agree with Amanda about the next person who own this Ferrari 166Inter, this car is a beauty and need to be care for generation to come.
Thankyou Amanda, as a kiwi in london I was thrilled by your film, car, wow that carburetor truly is a sculpture . And driving in it with you through the West Coast is elemental . cheers love.
What a beautiful car! I really hope that these cars live on forever. They are a part of automotive history and should never be allowed to be destroyed. They need to be driven!
Quella sensazione, quella dannata sensazione di poter dire: -"Possiedo una Ferrari" la gioia e le emozioni negli occhi della signora sono impagabili. Bravi Ragazzi che ci avete raccontato questa storia. Spero un giorno di poter provare anche io le stesse cose, chi lo sa. Ad oggi sono orgogliosissimo della mia MV F4 e so quanto mi renda felice poter dire e conoscere tutti i particolari che sono tratti derivati dalla F40 e sapere che il motore è stato donato da Ferrari alla famiglia Castiglioni.
Wow that lady was young at heart. Didn’t seem as old as her years. A Brit with a hint of US accent. Lovely car as well. Would have loved to have seen the faces of the Ferrari people when she showed up in her car!
What an absolutely beautiful video, car and incredible story. All the best to the owner. I wish you many, many more wonderful drives in that absolute stunner of a car.
Amanda is the perfect story teller and as beautiful as this car, the next owner has the challenge to match her vision of this masterpiece. It is not an easy task but it is so easy to understand her…I totally agree with her, thank you for making us dreaming thru your story ! Simply beautiful…❤
What a beautiful story of a woman and her car! And what a car! She has loved and taken care of this rare beauty most of their lives. I liked the part where she said that these cars should be driven-to hear the engine as you drive. To hear the passion in her voice as she talks about owning this beauty is touching.
What a fantastic Car and used. Nothing saddens me more than seeing great cars that are twenty, thirty years old with 900 miles on them that sit on a corner.
I feel like she's got some Italian in her family tree somewhere. She's truly passionate about that car. Her comments around no radio, just listen to the engine, the wheels and the road, were spot on. She's absolutely the perfect owner, I hope she continues to own and drive it for many years to come and I hope whoever she leaves it to will do the same.
After watching this today, i drove my Aston Martin DB9 for hours with its superb hi-fi turned off and the windows down, i found some Twisties and shifted gears with the paddles.the sound of that glorious V12, mind blown!🤯 Thank you Amanda!👏👏👏♥️
This is such a beautiful story & she is the perfect owner. She is a true car woman. People like her are an inspiration & just such a joy to see for a car lover.
Loved watching this. Thanks Ferrari. You should do a series on older cars and drivers.. the stories are what makes the cars and what makes the legend. Ferrari …
Congratulation and huge appreciation for your passion for this car. Really the best example of appreciate and love your vehicle. From Italy Giovanni All the best for your passion
How exceptionally cool is that lovely older lady, wish she had of said what year she bought it, & I hope it finds another good home one day along time from now, Rj in Oz
@@bngr_bngr My understanding is that they acquired it in pieces with no body, and the current body was found later. It is not totally unknown, as they took it to Italy for the Ferrari 50th event. I think it was restored in the late 1980s.
Such a unique car and great story! I think that classic cars like this have a soul and need to be protected like a historic buildings. Thanks for the story!
Absolutely Stunning! This Ferrari is an exquisite masterpiece, embodying the perfect blend of elegance. Its sleek, curved lines and rich, color make it a gorgeous work of art that exudes the passion and sophistication of Italy's iconic motoring heritage. A true classic, FERRARI which leaves me breathless! ❤ #tifosi #ferrari
She gets it. This is what little old magic's left in the world and it makes me equal parts happy and sad. Thanks to all involved, what a production, what a place, a car and the love this family has for it.
Touching story. While I don’t own a Ferrari, I totally understand that lady’s emotional bond with the car. It is exactly how I feel about my 67 Shelby GT500. You become one with the machine. Yes you do not need a radio, the machine is your music.
I know some magical things have happened due to that masterpiece. I could see it, I could hear it when she was talking. She was talking as if she remembered something from the past and never let go, of that feeling.
I hope when she passes that this car will be left to someone in their family that will understand how special it is and become its new caretaker. Too many of these rare cars fall into the hands of collectors who just keep them as museum pieces. It’s a car, drive it. If it breaks, fix it. She’s doing it wonderfully.
she says ,i dont ever have the radios on,this car dosnt have a radio,but to me, its the sound of he engine, its all youre hearing,and everyting in the car,,,what a legend she is
Perfect! Machinery is meant to be operated. Nothing more sad than a gorgeous machine sitting on static display. The perfect owner/steward for this incredible machine!
She is the perfect owner for this masterpiece.

And then he hated driving cars on the road, and was often chauffeured or drove the 2+2 GT cars... not very passionate. 🤨

I agree completely. Unfortunately this distinctly sounds like an ad, so I don't think that will be the case.

She sure does.....!!!!
Another Ferrari legend lovingly restored and kept road worthy.❤
This is perhaps the coolest thing I have ever seen
