Is this RUclips car video heaven??
Another amazing film!!
Well if you put it like that, I think it could be YT heaven :)
Thanks for tuning in X
So True Jhett, it is old school youtube but with professional production quality and all the better for it. It is so refreshing to see someone live their passion and share it freely with others who have similar passions and that be all the reward they need.
This guy is the owner that EVERY Classic car deserves. Top guy!
So true! There are a few people I know like George but they are in the minority
@@KiddinaSweetShop - George is so enthusiastic - and that’s contagious. It’s so refreshing to see a collector who wants to enjoy the capability of his cars, rather than seeing his cars as investment instruments frozen in time in order to hold their value.
@@davidsherley2652 EXACTLY. My parents see their vehicles as economic investments. Hence why they don't want me driving the family truck which I LOVE to drive just so I don't put miles on it.
This is how I wish I could be more with my classics but I always seem to have a need to know I can get somewhere on time and I default to modern reliability too much! But every time I get in a classic I feel I just want to keep driving! It helps that George’s car is pretty well sorted mechanically by the look / sound of it! Most of the time my drives conclude with a new list of things I need to fix 🤣
Check his dads car collection out……legendary…..2x 250GTO’s
This is how you own classic cars! Use them , drive them and let people see them. Great episode Jodie , really good stuff.
Thanks for watching Adam :)
The 275 is a beautiful car. Love the fact this dude actually drives and enjoys it. So many people squirrel them away, treat them like china cups, and just polish them. massive respect to George, and thanks for showing it to us.
I forgot just how GOOD the 240Z looks! ... (Japanese car making at it's best!)
Because the value of these cars have reached stratospheric levels it’s great to see that someone like George is using it whenever he can and not just being used as a static show piece ! Great job Jodie. You clearly enjoyed driving that beautiful car! Well just a bit! 😜
This one in particular is worth MULTIPLE millions, alloy and rhd, that's almost 1 first prize euromillions in a car
Sitting on the other side of the screen, I can't help but to grin from ear to ear. ☺
"That GTB" is such a happy happy car.
is is a beauty!
An excellent series, Jodie. Please keep them coming.
No plans to stop anytime soon :)
George… what a man. It’s how every classic car should be used. Yes there should be immaculate examples to preserve history but enjoying the machines speaks volumes. And he has a passion for watches/horology which resonates with me. George 🎩 off
I’m an ordinary guy (unfortunately) dream of owning a lovely classic car like this, but actually, I’m really pleased for this guy not jealous, love his passion and attitude. Good for you my friend. Good for you.
Thank you for letting us view this car. The 275 has been my favorite Ferrari since I was a teenager in the 80’s. I love the fact that this car gets driven like it was meant to be.
Me too! Xx
Cleaning and polishing is over-rated. Love seeing owners share their treasures.
So do I! X
Might just be the most beautiful car ever made. Definitely my personal favourite. And all credit to the owner for using it, a car like this deserves to be driven
This has got to be one of the best 275 GTB clips I have ever seen. I highly commend George for driving it regularly as it was meant to be driven and not relegated to being a trailer queen. All the senses abound to this nirvana on the road and eye candy wherever it is parked. Don't know what future generations will have to enjoy regarding transport but am thankful to the here and now with gems like this. Absolutely fabulous..
Thanks!! It’s just wonderful
Hey Jodie,
Great video, I particularly liked hearing the discussion between you and George about his experience with the car. Wonderful that he seems like a genuine enthusiast.
“Making a journey an event”. In the age of ever busier roads and electric cars a lovely nod to the past.
Well said and same, the car is in great hands with George!
If I have the money and I can only own one car in my life, the long nose 275/GTB will be it. I won't need another - ever. And I will drive it like this guy. Fantastic machine and the most eye catching Ferrari as far as I'm concerned.
It’s unreal!!
What a dream to get to drive a 275 GTB. That sound, that long bonnet, gorgeous steering wheel.. one of the greatest Ferrari's ever. I have 575M and drive it as often as I can.. this just made me want to drive it more. Love JKs enthusiasm, she's such a great car "guy". 👍
Thanks 😊
Having driven the 4-cam version (before they became unaffordable) it is such a far standout to all other cars I have driven. I agree that this would be the one to keep for me. The hand crafting is fun in its flaws, but the sound is truly beautiful. The steering and gearbox is amazingly tactile. Its an amazing GT car even in today's terms you can comfortably cruise long distance at over 100mph.
Great video and that is one stunning car it's great to see an old V12 classic getting used every other day and not locked away in a garage .oh and the smile on you're face when you took the week is priceless.👍👍
Such a joy to know this car gets used and driven as intended! George is the perfect custodian
One of the most beautiful cars ever built.Simply stunning.
Agreed!
Probably the best looking car ever, I almost get tears just looking at it. Great video
Excellent episode Jodie! Your enthusiasm and pure excitement for the cars and people are what has drawn me into your channel. Today’s video with George and his 275 GTB is the best yet! The cars draw us in, the people make us stay. Now if I could just afford one of the many very cool Bamford watches….aspirations are good!
Thanks for tuning in for this episode, I loved filming this one! Well said too about cars and people! See you next time
I'm watching this again as it popped up in my feed after a few months and I find that the conversation between the two of you is every bit as enjoyable as watching you in the car. Really a lovely video. Thanks! 👍👍👏👏
Love the fact that it has a few stone chips, means that it's being driven and enjoyed. Great episode Jodie, thanks.
What fantastic show of love for a beautiful car.
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful car. Hat off to the owner for using it and making the roads more exciting!
Such a stunning car x
Every designer who has ever lived has been inspired by some portion of this car. I see dino, corvette, jaguar, spyder . My god this is beautful.
Isn’t it just!
Excellent video, Jodie. Enzo was a truly genius, the 60's Ferraris are simply the best cars ever made.
Thanks for watching :)
Really enjoying Kidd in a sweatshop ❤️🙏🏽
Me too! Thanks for watching
You can fix the driving experience of SO many modern cars by switching to a higher profile……. The obsession with ever lower profiles gives such rigidity in the side wall, to not allow any give…..
Also, with these ultra low profile tyres, when they reach their limit…. they tend to let go completely….. whereas, you can feel the lean, the give in the tyres….
Another slice of passion 💝
Fantastic. What a car and what a sound.
It is such a special car! One of my faves
Another excellent episode Jodie, that's one of the few vintage Ferrari's I've not driven so thanks for the insight
The perfect start to the bank holiday weekend! Yesssss 🙌🏻
Happy holidays!
Just passed my Driving test in 1978 I drove one of these down to DK engineering for restoration on behalf of a friend A memorable journey,as the silver car was running rough.After a full refufbishment to red and tan interior the car looked georgeous.I remember the reg WER 5 .I seem to remember that Eric Stewart of 10cc fame then bought her,,,Cheers John.
Cool!!! xx
Wonderful to see someone who really drives their beautiful car. George, your passion for this car is wonderful and Jodie's smile lit up the page. Enjoy that car for many more years.
Glad you enjoyed it Ian!
This guys a legend. Doing what these cars were built for. Driving and enjoying them. Not say as a garage queen
🙌🏼
it's amazing how well George has done from making watches. Congratulations to him
George is a Dude. He’s got tons of money but he has great enthusiasm and taste. No Show Pony. Love it !
Couldn't agree more!
I just love the fact that it gets driven regularly. Excellent.
Wow what a machine! Has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever with an utterly gorgeous sound. Thank you Jodie.
Couldn't agree more!
my god the black paint on it it's like a beautifully crafted piano, stunning. Loving your video Joddie!!!
I've been to that house and been in his garage and seen his amazing car collection.. I went there to collect his R8 GT for a service in Wakefield..took me ages to find it under all of the covers over the cars.
Loving this channel Jodie 👍
Crazy thing
The revs!
2 classic beauties in this video.... both with some breathtaking curves
I like Jodie's passion for these cars.
Wow, what a car…. That noise is spectacular…..
Fabulous! This isn't just a car to him - it's his best friend and he enjoys spending time with it. I'd love to hear what it is that breaks down and has him getting home on the back of trucks as often as he says. 👍❤
Fantastic art on wheels and good person this George let you drive his 275. Enjoy the car and drive it as much as possible :)
The figures and proportions of this car are so sweet. It just looks so perfect, even just as a car. Heart bursting stuff!
Gorgeous isn’t it x
275 GTB is literally the coolest car ever built, and I'll go out on a limb and say it is the coolest car the will ever be built. One thing you have to understand though, is you have to have deep, deep pockets to enjoy a collector car like this the way he does. You have to be ready to shell out big wads of cash on a whim and not blink.
Mega car!
Kudos Kidd. Love the way you rev out these cars. Drive them like you’re supposed to 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Built to be driven!
@@KiddinaSweetShop 💯
ahhh quel 12…paradiso…che ferro che eleganza e sportivita’ nello stesso tempo…grazie Enzo❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
absolutely beautiful piece of automotive sculpture
I'm a big Ferrari fan, this is not my favourite model, but this is one of my fave vids now! I love how the guys uses the car so often and let's you drive. Love your outfit too, btw. More old Ferrari's should be driven!
thanks for watching and commenting :)
Being able to afford car like that is one thing, being able to afford to drive it every day is another level! Great to learn about the owner a bit as well! Lovely video.
Owns a watch company, also the son of Lord Bamford owner of JCB.
Nice car, lucky guy. Life dealt him a good hand.
8:30 - killer at 12 o'clock! This is not a car, it's a stunning piece of art, moving slowly towards you. Just like a predator about to lunge on its prey. Ultimate elegance. And the best way to celebrate it - is to drive the hell out of it. Hats off to such car connoisseurs as George Bamford
Agreed 👏🏼 George is fab!! X
@@KiddinaSweetShop would you be so kind to clarify one nuance - why is this 275 GTB called "short-nose"? I have always thought that short-nosed versions have bigger gap between turning signals and chrome bumpers, along with a more wide-open grill. So, I am a bit puzzled :)
My favourite car. Great to see it being driven as intended and enjoyed. Such a wonderful sound. I'm very envious.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My Dad Restored a 275 GTB4, it was a piece of magic. I recall him working on it right through our childhood. Great days
Epic
That’s the sign of a true car enthusiast - keen to let another enthusiast drive their car. Awesome to share the experience.
Absolutely.
Good on Mr. Bamford for driving this beauty as was intended. Great video
This was excellent Jodi. Thank you.
thank you :)
I enjoyed your ride response enthusiasm. You convey that better than many other Tubers in this genre. I love Doug DeMuro, but he doesn't have the historical context that say Jay Leno has and that is fine but I think your strength is the honest visceral response. To drive an Enzo/Pininfarina...that is a bucket list item.
Awesome. Keep up the good work Jodie
Thank you :)
Awesome video! I loved you said "it's a short nose but the bonnet is still long" hehe it's actually a long nose GTB/C or has alot of competitie spec stuff on it alu. body, flaired arches and the unique creases on the fenders. Every 275 GTB is different and this one espcially in this color, it's just to die for! Thanks for sharing this with us👌
This was awesome!
You know you're poor when someone says that a 275 GTB it's a great all rounder haha. Brilliant video. George is really passionate and uses his classic cars as they should to enjoy and put miles on them.
1974 here in melbourne australia my friends father wouid give me a ride home in his white 275 GTB , regularly hit 140 mph over that short distance..i remember sneeking a peek at the speedo
Haha wow
Absolutely fabulous in every respect.
Look forward to the next instalment.
Cheers
Chris
What a car! Love this episode a lot! So good that a car like this actually used to drive so much as possible.
Agreed! Thanks
Jodie, you have the BEST friends!!!
They’re splendid!
Beautiful car perhaps the most beautiful Ferrari ever. Wonderful film thank you for allowing me to be a passenger.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed that! I'll have a look at your other episodes!
Keep em coming Jodie , this should be a tv show 🙏🏻
Why thank you Steve X
@@KiddinaSweetShop 🙏🏻
Another amazing video Jodie! The camera views and sounds are just awesome!
Thank you very much!
Tough job driving this beauty Kidd. You lucky lucky lucky girl .
Great interview, great car, great owner..
Incredible car and great vid :)
Thanks a lot!
I have no idea who this guy is, but he’s a cool dude, and I love his 275 🤯😍 Looks surprisingly good in black.
Stunning isn’t it x
I really admire the people who can afford these incredible cars and who drive them as they were intended regardless of the monetary value.
You will take the memories of driving these amazing cars with you when this life ends but the money will stay behind and become meaningless.
Thank you so much Jodie, I only recently discovered your channel and am so glad I did!
It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Devon and working on and going for drives in my late uncles wonderful collection of vintage Lagonda´s, Rolls Royces and assorted Saab Turbo´s all of which I learned to drive in.
Nothing better than a crash gearbox to teach you how to drive!
All the best from an Englishman living in Austria!
Oh and George´s watches are wonderful!
Very special! Thank you xx
This iconic Ferrari 275 Gtb is just amazing and also the video it just makes us feel like we’re driving it. Crazy 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 enjoy it.
Another great episode Jodie! What an excellent 275GTB! Cars are meant to be driven, always better when they are not stuck away in silence. Its nice to know the Bamford family use their cars as intended! Now you need to beg for the keys to his dads 250GTO! :P
Absolutely! 250 GTO - can dream!
*Cars like that stir the soul, modern fly-by-wire supercars can't hold a candle to this kind of experience*
Absolutely
What a great series of videos,can't wait to see what is next.Roadgoing Lola T70 perhaps?
George Bamford comes from a family I knew from the credits of Alain de Cadenet's show on the Speed channel in America: "JC Bamford Excavators Ltd" (yes I used to study the credits, wondering where all those cars came from, and on whose estate they were being driven)
Cool guy & matched with the right outlook of enjoying such a classic car. Lucky chap
He’s brill :)
This is how to treat these old cars, hate people who never drive them, what's the point if you don't enjoy what they were meant to do. Good guy...
Absolutely 👏🏼
Great vid Jodie; thank you.Mr Bamfords car is a stunner just like you!
A Guy on TV the other day had a DB6...... With just the same sentiment... "I love driving it, so you can`t be too precious with it".... I agree totally.... They need to be driven... that is what they are for...... Beautiful car Jodie... you should buy one.... :-))) xx ( to put next to your F50)
275 and F50 - imagine that as a two car garage? XJ220 in there too though X
Great job, Jodie. Having fun with an amazing motorcar is all the world. Thank you,
Absolutely! Thank you 🙏🏼
If anybody asks me why I love Ferraris, I could answer: "Watch KiaSS' videos!" 🧡
Thank you Enzo for creating your (and mine) dream! Thank you Jodie for these pieces of V12-poetry with all your passion and love for Ferrari 💚🤍🧡
Thanks so much!
GHB on the number plate, I'm sure some viewers know what it is and what it's capable of 😋
Please do share the details. I'm an Indian and I know nothing of UK conventions.
@@BanerjeeGaurab it is a recreational drug, also a sexual performance enhancer, think liquid extasy,
@@BanerjeeGaurab Probably not wise to say what it is in the comments, but Google it and you'll see it can lead to a bad night for some people.
His first name is George. Likely his initials.

Ohhh
What a bloody gorgeous car!!!
And what a lovely friendship. That's actually worth more than the car.
Much more! Thank you
What a fantastic car.... The sound is absolutely awesome.
Isn’t it just!
Hi Jodie . I love the comments ! This car must be unique ! Not wrapped in cotton wool , driven in the manner Mr. Ferrari would have approved ! You're just so happy ! And it's easy to see why ! Thankyou !
awesome! i envy him. well done joddie and george ! listen to that thing!! love it. keep doing it joddie.

Another Brilliant Video And Timeless Classic Ferrari SuperCar All The Best To You.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
What a fantastic car and awesome owner! Always admire collectors that drive cars like this on the roads - respect. I often wonder what happened to our old red 275 GTB short nose that we had in the 80s. The 'parcel shelf' behind the seats had been converted to a seat so my sister and I could sit in the back.
Aah bet you miss that!
@@KiddinaSweetShop yes I miss that wonderful car so much. We were so lucky to have had one and I’ll always have fond memories. The 330 GT 2+2 and Maserati 3500 Sebrings that followed were not quite the same but at least there were actual seats for us kids 😄. Loving your channel BTW.
Oh the noise,it's better than any ASMR video
The noise indeed!
Thanks for the great content. I'm young but love classic cars and whilst I hope one day I will have my own, I can experience through these videos 👍
Thanks for watching!
I could watch a video of Jodie driving a Ford Focus and still be happy!
😅😂😂
I really love this channel I’m from the Philippines and I really like the interviews and the montage etc. it’s just special a very special channel.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed!
Fun video Jodie! I love that the owner wants his car to come alive, has too many miles to count and not be a ‘show pony’.
As a classic car owner myself, mine has been in need of a flatbed several times. On the one hand, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the driving enjoyment; but on the other hand, I always find it a stressful experience, even though passers by often offer assistance - it’s hard to get used to.
