    In the name of all germans: Thanks for letting us have a proper Harrismonkey video again ! Makes waiting for Drive+ availability abit more bearable...Utterly beautiful machine...

      Drive+ will probably not happen for Germany at all. At least that's what I heard, something to do with licensing.

      ***** Dann zahlt man keine 4$ für Drive+, sondern eben auch noch einen Betrag für einen Server im Ausland. Und schon kostet der Kanal deutlich mehr, das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis sackt ab und man muss sich fragen wie viel einem die paar Videos die man wirklich anschauen möchte Wert sind.
      Dazu habe ich gerade mal ZenMate ausprobiert, immernoch die gleiche Meldung beim Drive+ Kanal.

      Dear Getawayer, your videos are pretty good too man. And to be honest Harris fucked up by asking money for hos videos - have u seen how many dislikes these teaser get? I've been watching your videos for a while now, they're high quality too, but u wouldn't ask for money.. In my opinion, thats the way to go on youtube... And sorry for my bad English..

    Chris Harris, in a super rare Ferrari, in an over 8 minute video, with HD quality, and people still thumb it down. Go figure....

    • @Eatinbritches
      @Eatinbritches 9 років тому

      Well, that dude he talks to is kind of annoying, particularly when he tries to lay down the superlatives. He jumps in too much and ruins the video slightly.

      Because they are haters, or they were looking for a different video, couldn't find it, ended up here, and got pissed off, so they gave it a dislike. If you are here for what the video is about, you cannot dislike, especially Chris being a great care reviewer for a number of reasons.

    @joevanseeters2873 6 років тому +2

    That is without a doubt one of the most beautiful "classic" Ferrari's ever made. Even though a 1956 car, it looks absolutely incredible, even by today's standards. And yes, that classic "French racing blue" paint job is stunning to say the least. One of my favorite Ferrari's of all time.

    @lawrencejames 9 років тому +7

    Wow, I genuinely think that this is the most beautiful Ferrari I have ever seen. I know the 250 GTO's and 250 testa Rosa's go for more money but this Tour de France is just so elegant and I totally agree with Chris and Max- that light blue is the perfect colour for that car. Ferrari should show this car to all of their current design team.

    I saw this magnificent Ferrari 250 TdF in Evo TV's video with Harry Metcalfe and I immediately fell in love with it. I'm glad Drive put this video of Chris Harris reviewing and even driving this beauty up for everybody because it deserves it. The car deserves it!
    Oh and by the way, finally a video of one of the best car reviewer out there that's longer than 3 minutes! Thank you for that.

  • @philipdalton2144
    @philipdalton2144 9 років тому +1

    I was very fortunate to ride in a original 1958 TDF several years ago. Was the first Ferrari I ever went in and it was quite an event! What a noise :D
    The last I knew, the owner was still competing in his car and driving it across Europe to it's races :D

  • @wingwalker7380
    @wingwalker7380 8 років тому +2

    The brakes are fed with a single Lockheed master cylinder . Some of the wheel cylinders are made with two different metals..know this, as the owner of 0969gt is a retired analytical chemist...who used a gas chromatograph to determine why they were seating up...dislike metals tend to corrode/oxidize. May be main reason why he doesn't have a responsive brake pedal. I drove his as the mechanic/transporter at FCA 2015 and found this same condition. 18 inch drum brakes, when they work, reported as good as a 60's corvette. Somes drums have six/eight fins that are there for cooling. Beautiful car!

      Roshan Torcy I know what you mean, and I agree. However, if I was in the place where I could own a car like this, I would want everyone to know about the car and how wonderful it is. Those kind of videos, even if they're not directed towards the potential buyers of the cars, do add some value to them, I think.

    This car is simply stunning.
    It is actually the first car that I have ever seen that I would say is worth every single cent paid for it.
    Will it go 0-60 in 2 seconds?
    No
    Will it top 269 MPH?
    No
    Will it pull 1 G in the corners?
    No
    Will it bring a tear to your eye, every time you look at it in the garage, and a put woody in your pants, every time you drive it?
    Yessir,
    and the world is better for it.

      A quote from a TDF owner in the know. " Early in the video Chris Harris introduces Max Giardo from RM Auctions in Europe (www.rmsothebys.com/specialists/specialist.cfm?specialist_id=55) Max is a typical car salesman. He spews facts mixed with a generous amount of pure crap (but I know that he speaks fluent Italian). The car in the video is 0563GT. It was 5th in the 1957 TdF as car #171 (The TdF plate is placed on the trunk in the video but not mounted). It is the 19th car of 93 listed in John Starkey's second book (including 6 "interim" berlinettas). Max says "only 9 were produced". I don't know what he is counting. There were 11 without louvres plus the first 14-louver produced just in 1956. Max also says "Imagine driving 165 miles per hour on dirt roads." The top speed for a 3 liter TdF with the tallest gears is 158 mph. The TdF included 7 hill climbs (where most, if not all, of the dirt roads were) so most competitors used lower rear end ratios.
      At about 5:50 in the video, Chris Harris who is relatively short) is driving slowly on a one-way road through a small town in England. He says to Max "The brake pedal, I'm pushing it quite hard now, there's not much happening ....The brake pedal is remarkable for its lack of cooperation but you can't really get to it because this beautiful wood steering wheel kind of fouls your knees."
      When I was driving my car on a regular basis, it stopped as well as my 1960 Corvette with competition drum brakes. I am determined to get it back to that state."

      +wing walker Isn't that the thing about cars though? The mystery of a car and the history, mostly a bit foggy a few lies thrown in, "Oh yeah she'll do a thousand miles an hour in a pinch, but only on the third Sunday of the leap year of every other millennia." But my word, this thing is a think of beauty that just kinda, warps your sense of reality to the point where, piss poor mechanical engineering is simply forgiven. Just simply because of the aching beauty, and amount of wood it produces in your tingly bits.

    • @wingwalker7380
      @wingwalker7380 8 років тому +3

      +1997TL1000
      Yes, an apt description of the effect of the Ferrari name itself. At FCA 2015 at Laguna, the 0969gt was in garage 2. A lady of about 45 vintage was dressed plainly, standing about 6 feet from the right door, for about 45 minutes without moving from the spot...I finally took a moment from the preparations and asked her if she would like to sit in the car...she came unglazed for a moment...said it would detract from the experience and declined the offer... without being rude, I would say i had just witnessed a Ferrari-gasm.
      When we were given access to garage two, I had been rushed to transport the car to Laguna, it had been setting hidden for 47 years. The owner provided his own loading ramps, a poor second to the ones he has now. The very finely dressed lady in garage 3 was laughing at our attempts to safely unload the car with these old ramps...until she saw the TDF safely on the tarmac...very quiet after that. Many different emotions espoused st the meet.

      It doesn't make financial sense to. It's a sad fact but us car enthusiasts are the minority nowadays. Just look at modern car advertising. You never see an advert talk about horse power or suspension technology etc. it's all just about fuel economy, how you can sync your iPhone and of corse... 'lifestyle'.

    • @stonetrouble5053
      @stonetrouble5053 6 років тому

      Because my Honda Fit will outperform it in 99.9% of all driving situations. My Fit would destroy this car in the 1957 Tour de France. This is an over powered, under braked, dangerous piece of death. Now it is just a ornament of wealth, traded between speculators, all hoping to get the better of the next buyer.

    • @PaulZink
      @PaulZink 6 років тому +2

      Your Fit "outperforming" the Ferrari is totally beside the point, and to chortle about "destroying" it in the 1957 Tour de France shows that you have little appreciation for craftsmanship and sheer style (if any at all). Bet you simply adore your iPhone.

    • @Atombender
      @Atombender 6 років тому +1

    In my humble opinion, Chris's videos are the best car related videos I've seen yet... on any medium. As far as the comments regarding the possibility of a "less than aesthetically pleasing" Ferrari, let us not forget the 400i or the 412. We had a 412 in a shop I worked in a few years back that started out ugly, and after an untold length of time, had cracks through the upholstery clear down to the seat frame and it just plain smelled... BADLY! I felt like removing the Ferrari badge but that really wasn't my choice to make. Ferraris are, like a few other makes, beautiful cars mostly, but there are some that definitely stand out from the crowd. We remember those fondly such as the 250 SWB, 250 TR, 250 & 275 Lusso, 275 GTB, 330 LMB... is there a trend beginning to show here? The '60s were a really good period for Ferrari... in my humble opinion. ;^)

    I don't understand why their videos have been receiving so many negative views. First, you people have to understand that this was inevitable. Let me repeat this because you guys still wont understand. INEVITABLE. NOT THEIR FAULT. They give us amazing videos, and if you want to continue watching them, you have to pay one dollar a week. I guarantee you that at least 80% of you can afford one dollar a week. If you can't? Don't get angry at them for not giving you free service, IT WAS'NT THEIR CHOICE. Why give them dislikes? Would you rather have Drive+ or nothing at all?

    I was going to add this beautiful machine to my "Cars I want if I was rich-list" but £5million is crazy a lot of money. I'll look for a 1:18 version :)
