The perfect example of a time when they still knew how to build cars with a soul. No contemporary car can even come close. Thank you. This made my day :)
I was accelerating hard down a freeway on-ramp in my Ferrari 308 GT4 when there was the sound like a huge sheet of tearing canvas. It was not my gearbox shredding but the sound made by the V12 of a yellow Daytona as it sped past me like I was standing still.
My goodness what a beautiful work of art and what a spectacular noise. This has always been my grail Ferrari, even when friends had the Testarossa pictures on their wall I had the Daytona. A wonderful presentation of a stunning car. Gorgeous Patek Phillipe too.
There are 3 Ferrari models that take my breath away. This is one of them. I wouldnt have guessed that I'd like this color combination as much as I do. But I love it! Gorgeous automobile!!!
Beautiful car, wonderful presentation I will probably never own a Ferrari, never been in one but love them. My only super car outing was in a Maserati Khamsin which was lovely.
This is my favorite Ferrari. I lived in Las Vegas from 1973-1974 and there was a red/orange Daytona always parked at a hotel and I adored it. I agree that is the best color I have ever seen on a Ferrari. I never saw that color before. I saw another Ferrari Daytona and it seemed to have a glass roof over the seats. I appreciate all the work you have done. You have great taste my man and a fine report on this car.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this! The last comment about the engine being built so well made me laugh out loud....it brought out the child in me! 😀
A great video as always 🙂 I’d just like to say that whoever set up the in-car side view camera did a brilliant job. Being able to see a full view of you driving the car is a nice change from the typical RUclips car vids where the camera is tight to the driver’s upper body and face. Being able to see the full interior view, the gear stick etc really makes me feel like I’m in the car with you and adds a lot to the viewing experience. Very well done And what a gorgeous car 🤤
I am very envious of you Tom. That car is absolutely sublime. Those looks, that sound. The daytona always reminds me of Brigitte Bardot for some reason.
Having had the pleasure of driving a Daytona over the Brecon Beacons a decade ago - I can vouch for need for the power steering upgrade - once up to speed it was absolutely fine, but for parking and low speed manoeuvres it was positively truck like. Glorious machines - and what a peach of an example. 👍
He's right ! Spending large sums of money to restore a beautiful car like the Daytona makes sense. This currently is estimated at a million dollars, I believe. Very rare, and sought after by collectors. Stunning video review ! Thank You for sharing !
Tom I think your stock is amazing but you are a very smart, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It would be hard to not buy from you. I sold family cars for 25 years and had a similar mind set. I loved it. I used to feel special in a D plate Supra, with knackered tyres. Your cars look great and I like the fact you are prepared to get the cars perfect for the next owner. You should have placed more audio in the video. That Daytona sounds phenomenal.
Tom won’t need to hit the snooze button because the outrageous price he is going to ask for the car will keep him awake nights worrying he might have overplayed his hand. (I think he’s made a safe bet. Among the super-rich these days, rarity and originality are worth a huge premium on an already valuable car that seems poised for a big jump in demand among the fashionistas.)
Hi Tom. Came across your video having stumbled across Catchpole's mediocre review of a 365GTB/4. Congratulations on such a fantastic restoration (and video) on what I consider to be Ferrari's best road car ever. Hope you did well with the sale, as Daytona prices do not reflect the the true value of the car. Surely values are held back due to the number of examples produced, although this is not reflected in F40 (not a fan) values, a vehicle produced in similar numbers. Having one of the limited number of RHD examples I'm sure helped you in taking the plunge for the proper restoration in Modena. Having driven many of these, I realise the ongoing complaint of heavy steering, but I would leave the car as produced: the steering is perfect at speed (although parallel parking will work up a sweat!). Lack of cold air box is understandable, given the inlet noise and spectacular presentation under the bonnet (only bettered by the 365GTC/4 with it's side draft Webers, sure to stun any bystander!), but again I would opt for the factory solution. One thing you do not mention is the use of the 9" rear wheels, which were not original on the 365GTB/4, which was given 7.5" front and rear, with Michelin XWX 215/70 x 15". As I recall, the 9" wheel was introduced on the 512 BB, equipped with the newly introduced 225/70 XWX. Not a complaint, I would do the same, as they improve the handling of the car. For what it's worth, the only "standard" production road car from Ferrari that for me rivals the Daytona is the 365 GTC, a superb car which can run with the Daytona up to 100 mph, and with lighter steering as well. While the 330 GTC is outstanding (and better looking with it's side air vents), the difference in performance is incredible. Also, I think the original coachwork build quality on both the 330 GTC and the 365 GTC exceeds that of the 365GTB/4. Sorry to be so pedantic, as I am sure you know all of the above. Again, great work!
What a stunningly beautiful car, and well done for presenting it so well. I've had a "thing" about Daytonas since I saw one on Prova plates in 1967 or 1968 near Modena in northern Italy. If you put a rational hat on, the there are many modern cars that are faster, have better handling and are much more economical. But it's not about being rational when thinking about a car like this. Emotions take over, which is how it should be.
One of the Most Desirable Cars ever Designed . Good in the Understated Colour for an Understated Car . A Metallic Blue or Green would work too . And , of course , the SOUNDTRACK ! A magnificent Gran Turismo vehicle . What would be the Sale price on one of those these Days ? Would love a answer to that . Anyone ?
Here we see what results if very much was done right making this car. With its power it was ahead of its time. The colour mix is very nice. As long as there are people like you to spend those amounts of money on such cars we all will be able to enjoy it at least by watching this.
Superb presentation by all measures. Every boomers' fantasy dream car. Especially as I recall R&T testing saw 172mph. The E-Type was truly 145 out-of-the box, Bolster saw 151mph in the near contemporary DB6 Vantage by way of comparisons. It would be 20 years beyond the Daytona release the 928S4 would achieve 171mph in manual form. Daytona was mega-still is!

This is how you do a RUclips car video. Pure CLASS. Well done, Tom.
Thanks Richard!
Have to say credit where it's due. The restoration and rebuild has allowed the rebirth of an absolute stunner. Great work.
I was accelerating hard down a freeway on-ramp in my Ferrari 308 GT4 when there was the sound like a huge sheet of tearing canvas. It was not my gearbox shredding but the sound made by the V12 of a yellow Daytona as it sped past me like I was standing still.
The color of this car should have never been changed. What an incredible color. Well done. Beautiful.
One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. It looks more stunning than ever in that color.
Absolutely beautiful, and well done for putting it back to its original colour. 🤎🤎🤎🤎
Not many cars look good in brown, but we couldn't resist putting this one back to its original colour.
Absolutely splendid Daytona! I've never seen a Daytona so thoroughly described and presented. Thank you!
My goodness what a beautiful work of art and what a spectacular noise. This has always been my grail Ferrari, even when friends had the Testarossa pictures on their wall I had the Daytona.
A wonderful presentation of a stunning car.
Gorgeous Patek Phillipe too.
Thanks Jonathon!
What a stunning example the epitome of style
The car looks newer now than it did in 1972. Beautiful.
There are 3 Ferrari models that take my breath away. This is one of them. I wouldnt have guessed that I'd like this color combination as much as I do. But I love it! Gorgeous automobile!!!
Stunning car , beautiful interior , I loved the under bonnet shots , throttles opening up on the carbs .
What a amazing noise !
It's even better in person!
Absolute perfection on the restoration. Incredible 365 GTB.
If you haven't seen the film gumball rally 1976 you should,there's a red Daytona Spyder racing a cobra 427 for most of the film .
Restoring the original color was spot on. Truly a remarkable example of automotive genius and so well presented. Well done.
Thanks Gregg!
Fascinating video. That engine sounds really amazing on film , can't imagine what it's like in real life ! Superb car. Thanks for sharing 👍
Whenever you hear it on film, times it by 100 and it'll give you an idea of what it's like in real life!
That paintwork and interior is beautiful. What a great place it must be to sit in.
It really is!
Open trumpets...think that is a must. Another excellent video, thank you!
I love the dedication and the focus on small but important details!
Totally stunning love that colour it just pops
Beautiful car, wonderful presentation I will probably never own a Ferrari, never been in one but love them. My only super car outing was in a Maserati Khamsin which was lovely.
Gorgeous colour. Great video. Thank you Mr H.
Thanks Martin - we'll keep them coming!
My absolute favorite car ... If I had to only choose 1 car forever , This is it !!
Good call!
This car fits you perfect, Tom.
I love the sound of the V12 when he lets it go. What a fabulous car.
Simply stunning, absolutely gorgeous 😍.
Couldn't agree more!
I love this colour combination!
Just stunning, loved the driving segment too :)
Thanks Dayno!
A friend of my father showed up one rainy night with this exact car when it was brand-new. Awesome car.
In the exact car? Chassis #15981

Tis car is absolutely beautiful. Great restoration work.
My all time favourite car so beautiful.

Fabulous - I saw this on your website, and pleased you've featured it. Beautiful spec.
How could we not! Thanks James!
I can't believe I'm actually about to say this but how plain does it look in red after you've seen it in that colour?
A stunning colour isn't it!?
That is just stunning. The colour really shows off the line . Great work Tom. Bella macchina ❤️
Absolutely stunning beautiful restoration.
Right decision on the color.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this! The last comment about the engine being built so well made me laugh out loud....it brought out the child in me! 😀
Really good video. The level of detail and knowledge you have is amazing. Very interesting. Thanks for making and publishing the video.
Beautiful and classy.
A great video as always 🙂

Thanks Chris - appreciate the feedback!
Amazing! One of the best looking Ferraris imho. And in a fantastic color! Thank you for the video 👍
I love Daytona’s!! One day, just maybe one day I’ll win the lottery or earn enough to own one!🙏🏽 just maybe!
If a Genie popped out of a bottle and offered me any (street) Ferrari ever made, the Daytona would be it. Now let me find that lamp....
Had a friend with a Mondial back in the day in the same livery. Gorgeous!
I am very envious of you Tom. That car is absolutely sublime. Those looks, that sound. The daytona always reminds me of Brigitte Bardot for some reason.
Thanks Aidan!
Amazingly attractive color.... Can't say I have ever seen that particular color on a Ferrari before
Now that was a great piece on the 250 SWB.
Well done Tom and the lads, that was a pleasure to watch.
This is a great channel, this gentleman knows how to present a car. Subbed
Just beautiful.... what else can one say ...
Tom... Spectacular automobile just a piece of art Bravo 👏👏
Thanks Sandy!
Stunning example.
Great video Tom, the test drive was the icing on the cake! Cheers, Chris
Thanks 👍
Love it Tom! Just so you know, I drop whatever I’m doing when I see you’ve made a video, and I watch it regardless
Great to hear Richard!
Wow. Stunning and great noise
That is a gorgeous Daytona! Also really like the 5990 Nautilus you're wearing, great taste!
Fantastic! What a great presentation, thank you
Nice touch having a camera on the throttles, beautiful car. 👍
Thanks Lyndon!
Thanks Tom
Brilliant video, very enjoyable and educational thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure Gail - glad you enjoyed it!
Really great car, sounded very good too.
The longer you watch the video the more the paint appeals. Well sorted. As you say.
Great video, audio sorted too 👍 and what a beautifully restored car, thanks
Thanks Barrie - glad you enjoyed it!
Besides the Framm orange cans of death, you spared no expense!
Just love the passion
Tom you deserve a medal!

.....nice watch also.

Tom I think your stock is amazing but you are a very smart, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It would be hard to not buy from you. I sold family cars for 25 years and had a similar mind set. I loved it.
I used to feel special in a D plate Supra, with knackered tyres. Your cars look great and I like the fact you are prepared to get the cars perfect for the next owner.

Just imagine getting up everyday to go and do Toms job, certainly wouldn’t be hitting that snooze button! Fantastic car, great video 👍
Tom won’t need to hit the snooze button because the outrageous price he is going to ask for the car will keep him awake nights worrying he might have overplayed his hand.

Stunning is often an overused word in the car world. This car is indeed STUNNING.
Love PP Nautilus matching this car’s design perfectly.
I can smell the car through the internet just looking at those black clocks. Wonderous.

I thought Catchpole’s review was pretty average as well. The one made me want one and the other wasn’t very interesting at all
My all time favourite Ferrari just looks the part also do like the 550 as well
I would never have thought that the F40 & Daytona were related in that sense.
Just Stunning. Thanks!
What a lovely car! Also lovin' your PP.
Had to watch again. Just class
Another great video, I enjoyed that! 👌
I clicked the like at number 365...sorry, now 366, more to come I'm sure. Gorgeous work Tom.
