Great video.

Now that was 17:43 well spent!

0:12 The Aston Martin DB3S with the registration number 9046 H led a bit of a spectacular life. Quoted from the IMCDb.... "An Aston Martin DB3S team car gunned by Moss, Collins, Brooks and Salvadori, subsequently driven into the Solent by a suicidal love-sick mechanic and later co-starring with Terry-Thomas in the legendary film School for Scoundrels? DB3S/5 started as a road car for David Brown with an experimental glassfibre body. After a disastrous '54 Le Mans it was given the aluminium body of 3S/2 for an active racing life as a factory team car. After success with Roy Salvadori, it went to privateer Dennis Barthel in 1957. He had the car prepared by Rob Walker's Pippbrook Garage where it was fettled by Alan Overton. Unfortunately the caddish DB3S owner took up with the young mechanic's fiance and tragedy followed. Barthel let Overton drive the Aston at the Gosport Speed Trials and although the mechanic set fastest time in his class he didn't live to collect his trophy on that April bank holiday. Overton never lifted off the throttle beyond the finishing post and ended his life by driving straight into the sea. The car was rebuilt with a new body; re-registered PAP 625, it was christened the Bellini to co-star with Terry-Thomas and Ian Carmichael in School for Scoundrels. The car, with its distinctive front end, was styled by Carrozzeria Touring and passed through the hands of several enthusiasts until the late Bill Lake had it meticulously restored to its original factory team car style and tracked down its old works registration 9046 H. The present owner, Erich Traber, is a regular Mille Miglia entrant following in the tracks of Peter Collins."

I was in utero at this time, so could not watch it.

Geat memories having worked on and ridden in one of the 4.4 l Lagondas

Wonderful, my 1955 Aston is so proud of this historic film!!

Fantastic video. Can't believe a tbird was in the race!!!

Wonderful documentary

Brilliant stuff, I miss the days before Satellite, Cable and 24/7 streaming when we had a mere 4 then 5 terrestrial broadcasters and motorsport documentaries and vintage films made by manufacturers, sponsors, tyre and oil companies etc made superb content in the 40s, 50s and 50s and these popped up weekly on Saturday mornings. But the Ring in 1956, hardly a place for reaching cars, I wouldn’t have fancied plodding around it at that period with my Pop, as a kid in the front passenger seat of his, then new, Morris Oxford, let along at sports car racing speeds. Those drivers certainly get my respect As an aside, it seemed quite incongruous to see a Ford Thunderbird on track against such specialised and streamlined, state of the art racing machinery, I’m rather curious to see how it fared, there had to have been separate categories I would guess?

The 50's and 60's are the GOLDEN AGE of sports car racing---every marque completely unique and totally distinguishable from each other !!---todays SUPERCAR class at lemans look like the same car with different colors!!--progress!

This excellent vid is from a series by John Tate, of Tate and Lyle fame, the series was called , the motor racing diary of a gentleman. Tate filmed in 16 mm hence the quality Tate had road going Astons until about 1970, he then had a Ferrari Daytona, the last film in this series is Silverstone GP in 1973, when a massive shut eliminated half the field, Tate disliked the mobile Tobacco adverts and promptly put his camera away for the last time.

Brilliant film

Nice footage

At 2.35 the narrator says the car is in the Paddock having some final preparation . To me it looks as though the Head is being removed !! As an amateur club racing driver my last minute prep is tire pressures and do I have enough fuel in the tank!! Amazing days and sadly never to return. However 2024 does give us youtube to enable us to re live these amazing times. Thank you

This sound may not be suitable for these Minis, I think.🙂

Oh dear, the usual. Awful, repetitive, annoying, ridiculous, unnecessary, effing music. Music, the curse of You Tube

Roy Salvadori had a Damaged Car and Damaged Leg..So very proper!

SUCH AN AUTHENTIC DOCUMENTARY.WELL NARRATED.A GOLD MINE OF IMAGES TO ILLUSTRATE THE WORLD OF SPORTSCAR RACING

That was excellent.

My horse is chompin at the bit

Great video, just stopped me from working......again. interesting to see the tiny little Porsche and TR2 in same race albeit different class to the 4.9L Ferrari.....the fast drivers must have nightmares about pilling into the back of one of those cars at night in the rain.....

i didnt know a saab and a quattro faced of at a wrc event, thats really cool!

Lovely, everything just lovely, thank you for posting.

My favorite era of Le Man! Great video.

Oi! Where's Big Bertha? All I could see was a few seconds of Baby Bertha...

Racing God JIM CLARK - Unmatched Maestro. By far the Greatest Driver Ever - No doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio, Senna, Prost, Stewart and countless others about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... ! This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps... In 1965 he had the most succesful year of any driver in the history of the sport: He won the F1 World Championship, the Tasman Series with F1 cars, the Indy 500, the British and French F2 Championship, the British Touring car Championship, totally over 50 (!) victories in one season !!!! For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just some examples of his mesmeric unique genius...

A truly beautiful little car !

une.course.epique.!!!

superbe.video. !!!

Our villages World champion, the best F1 driver of all time.

The track has changed, the cars change, the facilities change, but LM is still a great carnival of power and speed. Had 11 days at the Sarthe this year, saw scrutineering,test day, practice Qually, hyperpole and the race, already rejoined the ACO to guarantee next years tickets, thatll be visit #36.

Great video, thank you.. only 22 years ago but looks like a different world.

1st stage was Lambton Park at night, Pentti on racing tyres just as it started snowing was a sight to behold around the safari park (north east version of Knowsley) then they went up to Otterburn ranges where he took the lead he held for the rest of the rally. Otterburn during the day made Eypnt look like a walk in the park, but at night something else.

Carroll Shelby wins Le Mans for Aston Martin in 1959.

Another really interesting video Paul. I'd forgotten that the Audis weren't all conquering such is their legend.

When men were fearless and cars were dangerous. All a bunch of Prima Donna’s these days.

1958 would mark the beginning of an era, when Belgium would have it's fair share of winners:Olivier Gandebien(1958,60,61-62.);Paul Frere(1960); Lucien Bianchi(1968);Jacky Ickx(1969).

The year:1958.

Makes me NOT want to sell my tri-carb.

Hamilton is the best ever driver even when you look into Jim Clarks story

If Jim was english there would be statues and tributes and more media attention but sadly if you are from another country you're not in the english loop.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 He'd make shamilton his car wash boy! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎

Rosier won it in 1950 with his son.

The rally passed through Dehradun and me my brothers, in our teens all excited helped one service team set up the pit stop garage.... within minutes the service teams were working on cars like a swarm of bees doing their predetermined tasks and cars took off back into the rally in no time...

Amazing! No safety barriers at all!

Great driver whom i saw race a few times and have autographed program.

To quote!.Simply the best.Better than all the rest!!.

Familiar territory mostly, Urria big jump, Petäjävesi old church etc, i live near of these areas.

1:39 'Boyfriend hero'?

It’s 2024.. Henri and Sergio have been gone a long time now.. But, we still view these videos of their heroics, and remember them with love and admiration 💚

How do I get in touch with this Paul?
