Dave's mate was Gary Midwinter, one hell of a driver in his day. The anniversary of his passing is this week. The two of his cars I remember, P12 FMC & W9 WRC are still going. Great video, Dave Kedward is magnificent.
Please tell me I'm not the only hardened bloke here with a tear in his eye at the words "I wear his driving gloves when I drive this" .... WHAT an episode. WHAT a gentleman!!
Went to the comments to see if more people picked up on it. Really had to stop myself from balling my eyes out after hearing that. You just got to love to see these kind of things, cars bringing people closer. What a community, what a story and what a good friend this is. I'm sure he'll be as happy as ever up in heaven hearing his old car scream down the courses.
I was flashed by an 037 when out in my Mini (1974 1275GT) and nearly broke my neck staring at it when it went by. Spent five minutes driving along in shock at what I'd just seen, and had a little straight-cut gear whine envy (his were louder than mine!) Turns out it was this chap!! Have to admit I started peeling the man onions when he said he wears his friend's gloves when he drives the Audi. I have a similar situation with a few parts on my car, and I always tell my long lost friend I'm taking his bits out for a thrashing - which sounds very very wrong!
This guy is a complete legend!! I worked for Audi a few years ago and met dave by chance in a petrol station he was driving the quattro we got talking. He invited me too sit in it and took me for a spin!!! Best car I've ever been in and what a privilege to have been a passenger in it with such a top driver
How can this legend of a man not be labelled a national treasure...props to dave letting us see a passion that E.Vs can't touch...brilliant content jonny...
Stood next to Michelle Moutons Quattro Sport running outside Chester Crown Court at a stage of the RAC rally, I kid you not the whole road was shaking. Amazing group B times. Lovely guy great Video Johnny.
I keep saying this, Jonny but each new video you release just knocks it out of the park. As a massive rally fan during the mid 70s to mid 80s, so much nostalgia here for me. I lost interest after Group B. What a lucky chap Dave is, to own and drive these cars. A really great down to earth guy - massive respect
Dave seems like a proper gent - very touching to hear that he still uses his friends driving gloves with the Quattro. These machines were built to be driven hard, and it's lovely to see someone drive it in the manner Dave does.
What a guy and what a collection! Love the 037 😍 PS Roehrl is spelled correctly, an ö often gets replaced with oe when they don't have the correct umlaut available, or in email and URLs
Straight to the top of Car Cave vids! Dave’s a legend. Softly spoken, no bravado and then multiple legendary cars just tucked away until he thrashes them all over the world! 👌🏻
Must confess that I'm a bit jealouis that you get to "soar with the Eagles" over there in the U.K. while here in the U.S. we're kinda "grounded with Turkeys". At any rate, your postings are both inspiring and sources of "hope" for us "across the Pond"!!
Just wonderful, how such amazing people reach for you Jonny; to share their stories and to be at such ease with you. You’ve nailed this gig and I relish every single episode. Bravo!
Best car cave yet. No bullshit. No vanity. Just a guy who still drives these legendary beasts hard. Just as they should be. Dream cars, Jonny. Dream cars…
Jeez Jonny, you do find them! Dave is a true grass roots enthusiast who happens to have collected some amazing cars. The ex Brookes Escort and the Quattro are my favourites. He is the polar opposite of the collectors who have infected our hobby raising values to unattainable levels and then squirreling them away for no one to see or hear. Thank god there are still a few 'Daves' out there to whom the driving of the car is of greater importance than the crazy values. You have my undying respect Dave!
Dave I’d like to say thank you again I was lucky enough to meet Dave at goodwood 2018 and he was kind enough to let me sit in the Quattro what a guy 🙏🏻😁
Now this is a true dream garage, any new money celeb dunce can go out and buy soulless boring modern supercars, but this garage belongs to a real enthusiast, this guy knows what's good.
Dave is an old rally mate (and arch rival) of mine going back to the 1970s. We had some great battles back then and I even beat him once. Tried to get him to lend me one of these but he always says no!
I think the term "What a legend!" has been coined for this exact man. Holy hell, such amazing cars, stories and skill and still such a humble and nice fella.
Dave K is one of the nicest, funniest, most decent and gentlemanly blokes I've ever had the privilege of meeting. Great video Jonny, we'll have to get you over here to Ireland to show you a few more.
Wowsers, what a guy, I’d just tear up the road in the S1 just to hear that thing roar, great collection of cars and doing what they were made to do, top man
Looking forward to part 2 and 3 … Just pointing out that I could listen and watch this for hours. What a great man, humble, knowledgeable, great heart and fabulous stories. YT is full of the latest super and hypercars and influencers buying their dream car till they buy something else next month. But this is REAL passion. So much respect.
My mind is so blown by this amazing collection, and at the same time so proud that these vehicles are not only driven, but put to the test. I strive for the same with my admittedly pedestrian stable. Run them while you can, nicks and scrapes be damned. You can fix that along the way. Cheers from Chicago!
Seeing these Group B rally cars in a used state and knowing they are still being used as intended brought a tear of delight to MY eye I can you. Dave top guy and top show Jonny. 👍🏻
it makes me unnecessarily happy to see cars like this, used like they are meant to. i do see the point of a museum piece and can admire them. but there is so much more to admire at full chat going sideways. lovely vid as always Jonny and team
You done it again Johnny. I knew it would be a good one, but man, Dave turned that into a massive understatement when he said at only 3 mins in "I've got another 037, Safari Spec"... you can't just have one! Delighted that Dave uses these cars as the rally gods intended. I've a few good 1.18 models, but I don't have 2 x 037's!!!
Thanks for a fantastic story. What a collector Dave Kedward is. The fact he uses so many all over the world is testament to his dedication and enthusiasm.
One of the best videos ever. I have been a fan of Group B since they first came out. I have books,videos etc all about this magical era of rallying. Even the tractor at the beginning of the video, was one of the first tractors I ever driven back in 1978.
At the start of November I was in Whitby for most of a weekend away, coming home across the moors I saw a whole load of muddy MK2 Escorts in rally trim, obviously, doing a transition between stages. Made my day seeing them all
What an amazing video! It's always a pleasure to see Dave rallying with his 037, quattro S1 or 205 T16 Evo 2 here in Italy. Thank you Dave for sharing your amazing cars with us!
When Jonny asks Dave what the Quattro is like to drive, Dave's expression says it all, and the fact that Dave and one of his best friends built it makes it even more special. Fantastic video! 👍👍👍
Man I love this channel. The amazing people that you connect with and have the honor of sharing in their PURE affection for these mechanical living history examples….. it’s just a beautiful thing. Cheers
Reminds me of some visits I had to dads friends when he was still around, the kind of kit that you don't see so often on posters etc but that is the truly special stuff. Dad was a bit of a special case, he had several cars that were pure rallye cars under, but painted usually grey metallic shell and rims, and most of the stock interior and had tags on them as daily drivers. At one point he was building them mostly himself with friends, so they weren't historic cars, just the race spares bucket contents all put together into a complete car. He didn't want to risk actual historic ones as he drove them as they were meant to, occasionally wrapping one around a tree etc. He'd just rebuild it and keep going. Miss him a lot, he passed in 2000.
OMG this is the best episode. I’m not the type to vocalise to UA-cam videos like a crazy person but I’ve been doing just that this whole time. Exceptional sweet sweet sweet sweet video m8! Thank you!!!
Wow easily the best car cave yet!. I've seen the 037 out on Eifel Rallye fest before. This year I was chatting to the lad that navved for him on rally Portugal, he was out in an equally rare G3. Also has the pleasure of seeing his 405 at Eifel as well, to this day it's the one car me and the better half remember more than any other. He drove it like he'd stolen it.
Eifel rallye, what a brilliant event. If you haven't been (everyone else), head to Daun to see it. It is such a cracking event, plus there's bitburger...
One of my favourite videos so far. What a bloke, I love when he said the cars would never be in a museum. I will admit that when he said he wore his mate's gloves in the Quattro it bought a tear to my eye.
Absolutely superb video. Could have been 90 minutes long and I would have still been captivated. A true motorsport gentleman with stories we could listen to all day long. Please revisit showing his other cars or maybe follow him on a rally, now that would be worth a watch! Well done Late Brake Show team 👏👏
Dave's mate was Gary Midwinter, one hell of a driver in his day. The anniversary of his passing is this week. The two of his cars I remember, P12 FMC & W9 WRC are still going. Great video, Dave Kedward is magnificent.
Gary Midwinter was very fast here in belgium too. Even with the audi he wasnt holding back.
What an outstanding video this is
Please tell me I'm not the only hardened bloke here with a tear in his eye at the words "I wear his driving gloves when I drive this" .... WHAT an episode. WHAT a gentleman!!
Me too 😓
Yeah the gloves got me too but you just would wouldn’t you
Me too

I'm sure he'll be as happy as ever up in heaven hearing his old car scream down the courses.
Caught me unawares too, frankly!
"It's not going in a museum, I tell you now". Amen. What a fantastic and knowledgeable gentleman and a brilliant car cave. Great work Jonny. 👍
Hospitality crew/car perverts unite

What a bloke. This could have been 3 hours long and just as captivating. Bravo.
3hrs? We won't try that, but great to know the half hour episodes fly by.
@@TheLateBrakeShow They really do. Ten minutes on each of these amazing cars would be greatly appreciated. More please.
@@TheLateBrakeShoweasy 3 hours
@The Late Brake Show I would watch hour long plus every time.
@@TheLateBrakeShow I wonder if Dave would take you out on a stage? 😅
This guy is a complete legend!! I worked for Audi a few years ago and met dave by chance in a petrol station he was driving the quattro we got talking. He invited me too sit in it and took me for a spin!!! Best car I've ever been in and what a privilege to have been a passenger in it with such a top driver
So utterly genuine this guy. No insta posing. No B.S. Worked hard, down to earth and sacrificed for his passion. Epic episode 👍🏁🥇
How can this legend of a man not be labelled a national treasure...props to dave letting us see a passion that E.Vs can't touch...brilliant content jonny...
Still wears his friends racing gloves. Brought a tear to my eye.
Dave is a complete legend, we should all be Dave.

Top bloke, “not going in a museum”. So much respect for people like that
What a guy and what a collection! Love the 037 😍
PS Roehrl is spelled correctly, an ö often gets replaced with oe when they don't have the correct umlaut available, or in email and URLs
Ahh, thank you for clarifying!
Came here to add precisely that
Walter Röhrl described the 037 as the best rally car he ever drove. It is one of the most beautiful cars ever conceived.

Knowing that a safari spec 037 Lancia is overtaking Gladys on the local bus is soothing to the soul.
Dave has his heart in the right place, driving and doing rallies with those cars.
Jeez Jonny, you do find them!
Dave is a true grass roots enthusiast who happens to have collected some amazing cars.

You have my undying respect Dave!
Was waiting him to say the 205 t16 my dream car!! After owed nine road ones back in the day! The back lanes with mates was like a rally at times!!
Iconic Rally cars from my early teenage years : Lancia 037 , Ford Escort , Audi Quattro , Vauxhall Calibra !!!! Awesome Living garage there 😃
Dave I’d like to say thank you again I was lucky enough to meet Dave at goodwood 2018 and he was kind enough to let me sit in the Quattro what a guy 🙏🏻😁
Now that’s more like it!!! 10/10.
very refreshing non pretentious , roll up ya sleeves and super laid back bloke, with the best collection yet. superb.
Now this is a true dream garage, any new money celeb dunce can go out and buy soulless boring modern supercars, but this garage belongs to a real enthusiast, this guy knows what's good.
A genuine , proper blokes bloke , loved listening to him . Great work Mr Smith
Proper car cave content fitting TLBS! I love the fact Dave uses and abuses his collection but maintains and holds on to the cars!
Nice one Jonny 👍
Got to be the best yet. What a low-key awesome bloke.
Low key, and the coolest ever OAP
205 T16 still my lottery win car. Even forgot about the 405 Dakar car! Thanks Dave and thanks team. Love it
Same here. Shame we didn’t get to see it. Hopefully there will be a part two.
Ordinary guys, ordinary garage, ordinary talk, very special cars, bril, keep em revin, thanks Gents
Harry’s new Lotus and historic rally cars with Johnny. Pretty good Sunday I reckon👌
I remember seeing these cars in Barbados... what a legend!
💪🏽
What a guy and what a collection! The sound of that Quattro starting up pure bliss!😍😍
Dave is an old rally mate (and arch rival) of mine going back to the 1970s. We had some great battles back then and I even beat him once. Tried to get him to lend me one of these but he always says no!
Knocked it out the park on this one! What a modest and down to earth owner.
I think the term "What a legend!" has been coined for this exact man. Holy hell, such amazing cars, stories and skill and still such a humble and nice fella.
Thanks Jonny. Outdone yourself again. Group B were the 'Muscle Cars' of Rally.
WOW! SIMPLY WOW , that's the most amazing collection , that actually gets used in anger , brilliant
Dave K is one of the nicest, funniest, most decent and gentlemanly blokes I've ever had the privilege of meeting. Great video Jonny, we'll have to get you over here to Ireland to show you a few more.
Love the reg number on the Kenya rally 037……DUS-ST ……how apt 👍🇮🇲
You did it again Jonny, great cars great owner. What a collection and what a gent of a man. 😎
I bloody love everything on TLBS... Thanks, Jonny, Brut 33 legend
Cheers Paul 👊🏽
Wowsers, what a guy, I’d just tear up the road in the S1 just to hear that thing roar, great collection of cars and doing what they were made to do, top man

YT is full of the latest super and hypercars and influencers buying their dream car till they buy something else next month. But this is REAL passion. So much respect.
It’s because of shows like this the BBC tv license is going to collapse. Top work Jonny!!
Not sure that will happen, but thank you so much for your support.
I could have watched hours of this, easily 3-4! The gloves really tugged at the heart strings, what a thoughtful touch.
My mind is so blown by this amazing collection, and at the same time so proud that these vehicles are not only driven, but put to the test. I strive for the same with my admittedly pedestrian stable. Run them while you can, nicks and scrapes be damned. You can fix that along the way. Cheers from Chicago!
Saw a few of these at Prescott Hill hill climb
Seeing these Group B rally cars in a used state and knowing they are still being used as intended brought a tear of delight to MY eye I can you. Dave top guy and top show Jonny. 👍🏻
Thank you v much for watching and enjoying.
What an absolutely stellar chap he is! Well done Jonny for doing this video.
it makes me unnecessarily happy to see cars like this, used like they are meant to. i do see the point of a museum piece and can admire them. but there is so much more to admire at full chat going sideways. lovely vid as always Jonny and team
Two words............Gob..........smacked.............awesome episode, I salute Mr Kedward for his spirit and bravado
You done it again Johnny. I knew it would be a good one, but man, Dave turned that into a massive understatement when he said at only 3 mins in "I've got another 037, Safari Spec"... you can't just have one! Delighted that Dave uses these cars as the rally gods intended. I've a few good 1.18 models, but I don't have 2 x 037's!!!
Cars get driven. Fun is had. Damage ensues. Damage gets fixed.
This is the correct attitude to old competition cars.
Fantastic video. I love that these things get battered on the regular... That's what they're for.
This is my favourite car cave video so far! The fact that he still drives/race them as the are meant to deserves admirations 👏 Absolute legend
Thanks for a fantastic story. What a collector Dave Kedward is. The fact he uses so many all over the world is testament to his dedication and enthusiasm.
One of the best videos ever. I have been a fan of Group B since they first came out. I have books,videos etc all about this magical era of rallying. Even the tractor at the beginning of the video, was one of the first tractors I ever driven back in 1978.
He smacks of a man who constantly forgets his anniversary but loves his wife with all his heart.
At the start of November I was in Whitby for most of a weekend away, coming home across the moors I saw a whole load of muddy MK2 Escorts in rally trim, obviously, doing a transition between stages. Made my day seeing them all
It was the Malton Forest Rally, an annual event up here in the North Yorks forests.
What a lovely, unassuming chap. So knowledgeable too. Excellent interview as usual by Jonny.
What an amazing video! It's always a pleasure to see Dave rallying with his 037, quattro S1 or 205 T16 Evo 2 here in Italy. Thank you Dave for sharing your amazing cars with us!
Glorious. This man is a straight up gangster.
What an amazing collection, and Dave is such an awesome bloke.
8:56 - I've had that photo in my Wallpaper folder for about 10(?) years now. So cool to see that car on video!
One of the best vids, i have loved this. What a cracking attitude 👏 i really enjoyed this, thank you Dave for letting Jonny and the team in.
Wow - lust Wow. You've outdone yourself this time Jonny! This is awesooome!!!
The Lancia 037 is my favourite car of all time. The Audi is also amazing. Brilliant!
When Jonny asks Dave what the Quattro is like to drive, Dave's expression says it all, and the fact that Dave and one of his best friends built it makes it even more special. Fantastic video! 👍👍👍
My mind is blown. Fantastic to see someone use the cars for the purpose they were built especially knowing how expensive they are now. Bravo.
Man I love this channel. The amazing people that you connect with and have the honor of sharing in their PURE affection for these mechanical living history examples….. it’s just a beautiful thing.
Cheers
This episode is like two hours too short, what a lad
Sorry!
What an absolute LAD! Great cars owners by a great bloke. Awesome video Jonny

OMG this is the best episode. I’m not the type to vocalise to UA-cam videos like a crazy person but I’ve been doing just that this whole time. Exceptional sweet sweet sweet sweet video m8! Thank you!!!
08:44 Have to say, the fact that it says "HaZZard" in Dymo on the HaZard lights made me smile....
That Lancia is some serious gear!! Dave's a proper chap, keeping all those not only running, but doing what they were built to do. Amazing.
What a modest gentleman Dave is and he owns and competes with the cars I grew up watching on the RAC rally, he's living his dream
True enthusiast , what an amazing man . Keep them going and avoid museums . These cars are meant to be driven amen
Possibly the best video and owner you’ve met so far. Fantastic ❤
Great video Jonny, just great. What a character and those cars.....WOW.
This man has taste!... All those stunning rally cars, and a DB7 to top it off!
What a man, what a collection of cars . Great episode
Big thank you for making this content Jonny, it is second to none
This is one hell of an episode, some all time dream cars there! Awesome episode Jonny. Keep them coming :)
Wow easily the best car cave yet!.

We should all be thankful that blokes like this exist!
This is the best one yet, can't get enough of rally cars.
Thanks Johnny.
Thank you Lee!

This might be the most impressive car cave you've ever done - outstanding!
Oh wow Rally car awesomeness a great passion for Dave my memorable era's of Rallying a great 70's 80's and 90's Rally car man cave 👍👍👍
