This was probably one of the best short documentaries ever made on a Ferrari race car, in fact any race car. This guy somehow packed in an encyclopaedia of accurate race car history across several different makes,
models, and personalities in under 15 minutes. He’s a full bloodied enthusiast, from top to toe, and does an awesome job of presenting.
I think that is my favourite ferrari of all time. That colour too. I love it
American Ferrari driver, Ed Hugus,
ALSO drove our beloved 1965 RACE WINNING #5893 NART 250 LM
( Now ensconed at the Indy race museum...)
during the wee hours...
Rindt and Gregory had hot dates...
Wanting no publicity, he did not go to the podium event...
Ed first drove a private 250 TR there in 1958...
History!
Related to me by my friend, Tony Adamowicz...
RIP October, a few years ago...

Ferrari 250 series... the most beautiful series of cars ever produced... Lusso, GTO, California, LM, SWB... all spectacular.
This is clearly not part of the 250 series.
Stunning. Especially in yellow.
Agreed, most people do not know that yellow is the real ferrari color, that is the one in its badge, the background for the prancing horse. Most people think Ferrari Red, but it is actually Italy Red, the racing color for Italy.
To me, a yellow Ferrari is just beautiful.
I can watch this channel all day right up my street hope they upload more and more people see this because this is a rare gem
The sound of that Engine 🙏
What a stunning car, the sound is pure magic.
Absolutely beautiful.
Guys, this is the most enjoyable content on youtube. Everything is spot on. Thank you!
Probably DK's best UA-cam presentation to-date. Excellent stuff gents!. Fabulous model to highlight and I was fortunate enough to view this exquisite piece at Hampton Court recently. Not all the best Ferrari's were Rosso Corsa
This is the only reason I need to come to UA-cam, this content is amazing!
too bad, lots of great stuff besides this
Excellent cars and quality video. Would love to be a DK customer, what a dream 👍🏻
I became acquainted with the 250 LM when I was given a slot car of one many years ago. It remains my all time favorite Ferrari.
This video really explains without trying to explain, why we are petrolheads. Pure passion
I really enjoy these types of videos, the history is interesting, wish there more channels like this.
I was lucky to see the yellow 250 LM at the Hampton Court Concours in September, looks stunning in person, it was next to a 250 GTO and 365 P.
I will admit I didn’t think much of the presenter in interviews I’ve seen on UA-cam. But he’s in his element here - this is one of the best presentations I’ve ever watched.
He's pretty handy on the track too.
Jaw droopingly stunning. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Thank God I found this UA-cam channel.
Brilliant video
I think the 250lm is a contender for the coolest Ferrari, I'd take one over a gto
Only the 1966-1967 330P3, 330P3/4 and 330P4 rank higher in my reckoning...
Chassis #846 being the Daytona winner...
I was behind the flagman, jumping up and down...
Not yet 18 years of age..
REVENGE!
J.C.
@@375GTB definitely agree on that, the p3 and p3/4 to me is the best looking car ever made, highly subjective of course 😅
And considering the sky-high prices GTOs command nowadays, the 250LM is surprisingly a bargain.
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you
Geeze,.... It's beautiful....
Superb video. Thanks
My All Time Favorite Car! So beautiful! So glad it's still around and in such good condition!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
I really appreciate the presentation and history lesson that are given when presenting the vehicles. The Ferrari's of this era are just amazing.
Detailed history really well delivered 👍🏻
Good production quality 👍🏻
Nicely told history with great footage.
Beautifully done documentary and great image quality. Thank you guys!
Greetings,
Man, what a sound! It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
Just absolutely fabulous!
Oh, there are lots of engines that I love to hear, but I think the Ferraris of the mid 1960’s are the best.
Thank you.
Let’s be careful out there.
Another brilliant video. Thank you.
Tremendous.. what a great history of this fabulous car. I remember seeing Chris Amon drive the 250 LM at Sandown in Australian in 1967. The car is now in Ralph Lauren's collection. To see a 250 of any make is a privilege but to see an LM is rare. I've been fortunate to see 3.
All the 60's Ferraris were iconic. Imo.
OMG that brings back memories of watching a 250 LM race at Longford in Tasmania. The car was nearly silent until it passed you and then the ripping shriek of those 4 exhausts hit you. For me it is still one of the most beautiful cars ever put on the road.
That would have been David McKay's Scuderia Veloce car, in the hands of Spencer Martin, multiple Gold Star Champion of Australia. See David Mitchell's comments on this lower down and my responses to them :)
Totally underrated channel, magnificent content! Bravo!!
Very storied history this car ... confused with #6023 for many years. Lovely car. I guess you wouldn't trade for one of my kidneys ;-)
Great video. Thank you
Awesome top shelf video👏👏👏👏🇦🇺
Beautiful.
Amazing history.
Amazing that I grew up and worked next door to N.A.R.T. in Greenwich Connecticut 🇺🇲
I used to peer into the dark showroom on evening drives looking at these racing cars and engines on display stands. I knew these were very special cars because I read Road & Track magazine. I served my apprenticeship at the Mercedes Benz dealership next door. This was a great presentation. Thank you for more memories ✌️
What a prestine piece of kit, mindblowing car, it's so immensely beautiful and mechanical. Great Content, thanks!
1960's was a cool decade for auto racing.
And sports cars in general. And music. And growing up in. I loved the 60s. Best decade ever. For me anyway. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Outstanding content!! Reminds me of a cross between the golden days of Petrolicious and the old Alain de Cadenet ' films.

Wow... that video is of a BBC standard. Awesome work. Thanks !
Where was this filmed? What a beautiful garage...if it can be called that.
Superb presentation and video. Thanks!
Wonderful. I met this car at races at Dijon Prenois. A pure beauty. And thé sound !!!!
I took a photo always with me in large in my office. Most young people do not realize how important is this car in History.
I still have my Scalectrix LM from my mid 60's set. Still running. Closest I'll ever get to the real thing 😢
Just subscribed.. Great filming really enjoyed the video very classy and beautiful cars . 😊
Keep doing videos guys! I always learn with you :)
Now this is content.
Very entertaining and well made, thank you for taking the time and effort to produce it.
Brilliant Video All The Best Team Health.
Fantastic content!! Great job and highly appreciated for sharing on UA-cam! Thx a lot!
Awesome video. Thank you for making this!
I've very late to this party. But I just have to say what a wonderful video this is. It reminds me of my favorite car series, Victory by Design.
The subject as well as the quality of production: Good job!
Splendid presentation!
beautiful car thank you for sharing
Great video. Very informative and well produced. Wonderful old footage too. Subscribed!
Thanks James, that was just great :)
Fantastic content!
more please ; )
Amazing video, so much for the history of LeMans
Fantastic video. Well done!
Brilliant content - thank you!
Wonderful! Thank You
brilliant many thanks
Wow that’s super cool, it’s no wonder you guys are at the top of amazing cars for sale, racing in Angola 🇦🇴 imagine now!!!
Story...well told !
Spectacular vehicle and presentation.
That 250 LM was owned by Ron Fry a car garage owner, hence the registration RON 54 , he also owned a 250 GTO 3869GT aswell which he purchased at Earls Court Motor Show , he raced at Wiscombe Park Hill Climb in the 1960's which my father used to race aswell.
Sublime! Well done. Magia italiana!
An amazing video. Great content.
That was well done. Nice to hear the history behind Ecurie Francorchamps. It’s lovely to see it driven too.
As impressive as this car is, I personally would prefer to see these treasures left in original condition, vs better then new. Yes, they should be maintained and safe to drive, but the real history of the car is very hard to see when it’s restored to better then it was when it left Maranello.
Guys, this is great content. Keep it going.
Wow this video is a masterpiece
Hello Dk Engineering great film, you could make another film if you ever get the chance of just the car warming up and driving as so few folks get to here the complete an beautiful mechanical sound of these cars, just sounds sublime, cheers
For me, the LM has the greatest ever soundtrack.
Very good video.
One wonders what the restored Ferrari 250LM #6313 would fetch at auction.
I remember when JB destroyed this car at Goodwood 20 years ago. Not a great day but it buffed out well :)
Great
I think I saw that car RON 54 at a Ferrari meeting back in the 80s, apparantly owned by Eric Stewart (10cc) if so , very nice to see it again : ) by the way, this is a brilliant film with all the qualitites that I looked for since my Ferrari interest over the last 40 years- thanks ! : )) It is, of course, amazing that a 250 LM doesn't hold a similair value to a GTO ?
My favourite model ever.
Fabulous film who does this fabulous collection belong too?
Nicely documented but you forgot a vital and important part of this story. That of Australia’s David McKay and his racing team Scuderia Veloce who also campaigned a 250 LM including his incredible win in a 250 LM at the ‘65 6 hr Le Mans let alone a myriad of hugely important races not only down under but around the world. McKays team supported a raft of highly successful drivers including Chris Amon in wining the Aus and NZ GPS in a Dino 246, right through to the likes of Sir Jack Brabham and even Derek Bell.
I was just about to post exactly this. I photographed David's LM straight off the boat at the 1965 Sydney Motor Show, and followed it through its whole career to its present location (I believe) in the Ralf Lauren collection. I believe it is the winningest 250LM of the 32 cars built, and I have David's two autobiographies (signed), which I'm sure would back up that claim. Speaking to David a year before he died he expressed disappointment that Lauren's restoration had removed all of the 'old girl's' racing patina, and said that had he known that this would be its fate, he never would have sold it.
Please, sir, document with the same level of love and passion the story of 'our' 250LM. I'd be happy to provide you access to David's books to assist in this process.
@@paulhall170 Very well said Paul and how nice to have met David. I only knew of him via his and SV’s many exploits. From memory Fangio had a drive (don’t recall if he was racing) David’s LM and ended up crashing it, necessitating a rather extensive rebuild. I recall Sportscar World back in the late 70s or early ‘80s had the story with pictures of this.
@@1240enzo Hi David, wonderful shared memories!
I think it was Spenser Martin who crashed the car, I can't be sure of the driver, but it was definitely into the Dunlop Bridge over the track at Sandown Park in Melbourne.
I was 16 when I photographed the car at the Sydney Motor Show, and at the time David was writing his column "Behind the Wheel" in the Daily Telegraph, so we (my twin brother and myself) wrote him a letter requesting that we be able to see the car. Imagine our surprise when we received a hand-written letter on SV letterhead, stating that he'd love to show us the car but was a bit busy at the moment packing the race team to go to New Zealand for a race series! I still have the letter among my most treasured possessions.
We finally got to see the car, and more importantly meet David, in January 1968, at the Tasman Cup meeting at Warwick Farm. David was then managing Chris Amon ("the most naturally-gifted driver ever", he told me later, "but hopeless at managing his money") and also had the fearsome P4 there, later owned and raced by Bill Brown.
David had a pronounced speech impediment, which made him shy of personal conversation, and this shyness was often interpreted as rudeness. Nothing could have been further from the truth; he was a charming and engaging conversationalist when he was able to relax.
He lived his last years on the family property "Collingwood" at Exeter, in the Southern Highlands, and it was there that I twice met him again and spent some time with him. He was old and quite frail, and his utterly delightful (and very much younger) French wife guarded his time very well, but I was able to get him to sign my copy of the second of his autobiographies, and later, when I purchased a copy of the first, "Behind the wheel", and only a few months before his death, he signed this volume too. He signed the second book "Fond memories of the LM", I swear there was a tear in his eye.
@@paulhall170 Hi Paul, ah ok Spenser Martin, I was a bit unclear in my memories of this but yes your right about the incident happening at Sandown. Wow what great memories/experiences you have from your youth. I would have loved to have seen - heard the LM in action. The keepsakes you have, the signed books of David’s are indeed special. As not just a race driver but team owner manager, David certainly would have known so many of the great drivers of the day. It was such a different era for Motorsport.
I had no idea of his shyness - speech impediment, and yes I can understand how some might not have appreciated that was all it was. I remember reading David’s articles he wrote on matters that he clearly knew first hand of. I think I might have to see if I can find a copy of his books to read and enjoy. I can only appreciate that how much he would have had such fond memories of the LM. It sure was a successful race car out here and is an object of great beauty. In many ways it’s sad to think that it’s just a part of a large collection of cars owned by a very rich man, never to be driven in anger again on the track.
From memory the Sportscar Workd article had pictures of the LM when David had it even driving across Sydney Harbour Bridge !! Imagine being in some ordinary car crossing the bridge and seeing the lithe little red LM coming up behind you and passing. How glorious that would have been.
@@1240enzo hi David
I'd be happy to LEND you the two volumes for you to read
What a beautiful car. The two V shaped prongs under its nose, is that for jacking it up?
I live this stuff
Exquiste
THE INSPIRATION
I would love to have a replica of it like they do with the cobras
There are replicas - see Martin Brundle racing a replica at Goodwood.
Peter Lovett kool ...Thanks
Beautiful Documentary , but why is the true racing team of Georges Marquet not mentioned , but only that of Garages Francorchamps of Jacques Swaters ? I only happen to know this because I own a car previously bought from new by Georges Marquet , the owner of Team Georges Marquet , which is painted on the sides of this historic 250LM with vin 6313
I think in 1965 Francorchamp came in 2nd overall to an American Ferrari Dealer Privateer with a 250 LM
I have a real suspicion that I met this guy in a motorway services on the M1 last year. I can't be sure, but he was driving a red 275GTB and I went over and chatted to him about it. It's only the second one I've ever seen in the wild (and I'm 53) and I thought how great it was that someone was actually using a £2 million car. What also struck me was how petite the car was. In pictures it looks like a big GT car, but cars have gotten an awful lot bigger these days.
Like I say, I can't be sure if it was the same bloke - I was all agog over the 275
Well it could very well be him. They run a restoration workshop, with Ferraris being one area of expertise...
250GTO OR 250LM ? which model worth more?
But back to this car: so you're saying this is the loser? Nice to know. To all who admire this car, you're right: it is a magnificent beast. It also has a non-synchro gearbox, so think about that as you admire it....
Not sure what you meant by winning the tour de france every year between 1957 and 1961. That's mentioned at about the 4:52 time in the video.
❤
👌
In my opinion, the 25./275 LMs were the classiest looking Ferraris made.
🥺👏🏽👏🏽
How can I see this cars? In real
