After working tirelessly to get an Escort RS2000 pristine and ready, Richard Hammond ventured to the Concours D'Elegance at Hampton Court Palace to see if the Ford was up to scratch. While he was there, he also took a walk around the event to see the cars he'd be competing against, including a stunning Pagani Zonda.
Thanks to discovery+ for sponsoring this video!

Once again, can't watch it since I'm in the US.
@@laurahertzman943 Can't watch it in the Netherlands either. It's not a bad platform, but some higher-ups at Discovery need to get the terrestrial TV mentality knocked out of them pronto...
Why would that show only be available in the UK? Do you still live in 1989?

55,000 km?! The owner deserves a medal for actually driving such a rare and beautiful car
You know we have a saying here that garage queens break down more than a car that is driven. Cars are meant to be driven.
@@kiryukazuma7508 Not cars like that that cost you a limb and half your organs. Most of them spent their time being looked at they arnt meant to be daily drivers
@@sausageroll2695 Not for the ones who can afford it. You didn't pay a limb for your Prius, did you? Same thing, just rarer for the ultra rich
Tbh where's the fun in owning a beautiful car and not driving it?
@@sausageroll2695 there are guys out there that daily a hypercar you know? Not everyone buys an expensive exotic to baby it but there are some morons that buy a base supercar eg. Huracans and baby it like no tomorrow 😂
The Zonda having 55k Km in the odometer is truly the most remarkable thing about it, considering the shape it's in. Really well-maintained! Props to the original owner!
Perhaps is bulletproof :v
The Pagani Zonda still wows me today when I see it on screen despite it coming out in about 1999. I'd much rather have that over modern supercars like a LaFerrari or McLaren 720. Crazy to think that the original had less than 400 bhp.
For the money they go for these days you could have the LaF and 720 and still have lots of change
@@JamesLee-do7yq Of course but considering it came out in about 1999 and looks better than modern supercars (imo) that's very impressive.
I like to own all 3 of them because why not they are the best cars in their business
@@sukhdevr3489 No doubt! They are the king and I would take one over a huayra any day
@@JamesLee-do7yq Totally agree. A Huayra is just a fatter and uglier version of the Zonda.
I love that Zonda but I love it even more knowing the owner really uses it. When you think they probably have a fleet of cars available at any time and still choose to drive that mad thing about it shows they really got it for what it is rather than to tell their mates what they have. Brilliant.
I was lucky to sit in that exact Zonda 2 years ago
These videos never fail to make me feel poor
poor is a concept linked to money , not to Life
@@BlueHopi144 i have not driven any of these cars in my life, I’m still poor
@@BlueHopi144 okay I'll be sure to tell Pagani that when I try and buy a Zonda
@@BlueHopi144 oh I don't know. You can have a poor quality of life.
@@BlueHopi144 That's the kind of thing only people with money say.
It’s reeeeeeally hard to watch Hammond talk about a 911 without Jeremy stepping in and saying something about the beetle
Really does look like a beetle tbh
*Thee Beeetlllllee*
@@hughjaenus2235 What a macheeeeeeen this is
@@GeneralChangFromDanang *an macheeeeeeen*
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Mclaren F1 GTR 😍
Beautiful car design never gets old always looks fresh
@@King_droid4908 British engineering at its finest
Agreed. I don't think you can ever walk past a F1 without at least nodding and mentioning... Oh, and here we have a surviving example of the best drivers car ever built. Nothing else to say that has not been said 100 times but at least acknowledge that here is one of the few that can be seen.
@@user-od9iz9cv1w I agree on every level. The F1 GTR will always have a special place in our hearts and especially to us automotive enthusiasts. When Hydrogen cars are normalised, our grandkids will not know the sound and smell of internal combustion unless hydrogen internal combustion engines will be a thing with all the noise and smell. Essentially it should be what we have today, but cleaner. Nevertheless, that’s something they’ll miss out on.
Can we also just take a moment to appreciate that outstanding brummie accent ...bostin 👌
that pagani is nice and all but a vauxhall corsa diesel, now thats true power
make sure its 1l
M8, this was a really funny joke. Thanks for sharing
all about that torque
SPEED, AND POWER!!!
Isuzu power
The level of detail in that RS2000 restoration is absolutely incredible - down to the recreation of the orange peel!
i also noticed that, but if you want to actually drive a car, its better that it isnt perfect
On irish plate
my dad had a black rs2000 custom. 79 as well I think. he loved it, and sold it for 2 grand in the 90's, which is still his biggest regret. still his absolute dream car to this day.
Well done to the owner of that beautiful Zonda for using it
Love how as soon as he said its not going to win or turn any heads, that dad in the background was eyeing it up and down
the Zonda is one of the most phenomenal cars ever imo - so much emotion and beauty, people who say it’s over-designed need more joy in their lives
These 3 guys have given me so many memories and entertainment. A big reason why i became a car enthusiast. Really hope they gain success in all their businesses
Which guys? It's only Hammond.
But what I would like to see is them putting their own money together and getting something going. They are split up now doing cooking and farming shows. Ridiculous if you ask me. At a very minimum do a UA-cam channel together
@@featheredindian They don't owe you anything you know
@@featheredindian you are literally watching the UA-cam channel they setup and run together!!
@Matt P oh I didn’t realize that, cheers bro
Poor Hammond, he’s only going to have Oliver left
He is never selling that
I'm pretty sure he set this whole operation up just to restore Oliver.
@@jochem1986 and that's fine. Oliver is a precious piece of TV automotive history. As well as actual automotive history.
or the bicycle powered Porsche
You do realize he's a millionaire
Wow that Zonda has been driven as much as my M4. Insane. Whoever owned that had FUN!
As they should be driven
@@alexanderjiang2941 why? Because its proven its worth as a well built car? Given that the owner put in the effort to addd more performance to the car I’m sure its been taken well
Which is surely the point ? Brilliant 😀
"owned" - "had"? - "owns" - "has" *
@@gavla3550 It's for people in the future. Saying it that way makes my comment timeless for years to come.
Richard's comments on the Pagani Zonda are spot on. Brilliant insight about the essentially ridiculous nature of supercars (although we all still want one), and Zonda's joyful embrace of it in their styling.
He needs to make the show available for international audiences
Available on YT if you look hard enough.
@@burville100 That is not supporting Richard and the team. Id rather wait for it to be available at my location.
just dl it bro
Cause they are racists
Its called a torrent bro.....
2:50 Richard spending the last 20 years hanging around James May is starting to show through! Sounded just like him!
Now THAT’S what I call clickbait
more like subversion...clickbait is when you are deceived with a caption that ultimately has little or nothing to do with the content.
Love Pagani. Loved their factory tour and museum. Best part of my Italy vacation and not really that close.
Love the vibes with the lofi and Hammond calming talking about cars. Thank you drivetribe
There is one car there that did actually totally eclipse the Zonda, you saw it twice in this video, the McLaren F1 LM, possibly the greatest car the world has ever known. It's a shame Hammond didn't spotlight it for this.
Its boring
The one that was at this show is actually a GTR, not LM.
That's an F1 GTR, not an LM. Also for me, the F40 eclipses the Zonda as well.
I’d take a Zonda over an F1.
@@longtailgt HAHAHAHAHA, nice joke mate. I mean taste is subjective, but how can you put an F40 over a Zonda? Just because it has a ferrari badge and it was made in limited numbers doesn't make it look better.
This goes beyond clickbait to just flat out lying.
Why would you say that?
@@LegendOfKat did you watch the clip ?
I agree, I thought the pagani was Hammonds and he was selling it
@@romithmawilmada2206 I hardly noticed the Pagani, not interested. Plenty other interesting vehicles, especially the CV8 for me, so I was not disappointed. I guess it is a matter of expectations. That is what UA-cam is like.
Come on richard stop the clickbait !
great production value guys! you simply keep improving. i could listen to hammond excitedly tell me about cars all day!
Absolutely in love with that Zonda.
Horacio makes a truly fantastic job.
That Zondas air intake slightly reminds me of the Martian heat ray weapon in the 1950s War of the Worlds film
or the underside of a version of the star trek uss enterprise, where its dual engines are connected to the main ship hull
That Zonda will never be topped. Painfully beautiful and mechanically perfect.
Ouch, the orange peel paint and shot taillight seal at 4:28 are painful to see.
Looks like they painted it with a roller.
Wouldn't of been any better from the factory...
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice that.
@@geek9642 What does "wouldn't of" [sic] mean?
@@bill9716 there certainly is the reflection of a spruce tree, but there is also a classic, textbook case of orange peel paint flaw.
I’m currently watching old top gear specials
Africa and Patagonia are my favorites by far
same
I absolutely agree that seeing a well used Pagani is the best of all worlds.
I like seeing these behind the scenes portions from the show
CV8 was the most relaxing car I've ever borrowed, well upgraded, brakes that work, should've bought it ...but 8-11mpg
He can make his own TV series for Netflix touring the world in interviewing people with rare exotic vehicles because of his status in the industries and his TV fame. But he also has that personality where he can make things funny and come up with jokes on the spot but still have class to have that professional look which I think would help make it more entertaining to watch..than some of these other car shows
0:21 There used to be TWO of these stuck outside a petrol station in Lowton, Lancashire in the 1980s. Never failed to grab my attention.
Feel like I’m watching a classic episode of top gear. Top quality content 👌🏼
These days, I can’t see a video of Hammond without being reminded of Mr Toad from The Wind in the Willows
man richard hammond needs to start his own version of that show "Chasing Classic Cars", would be dope
The RS looks awesome and done really quickly, if I could afford it I'd get you to put my bmw back together. 👍
Richard give us more episodes of your show pleeeeeease ❤️
Would love to watch the show if it was available in the US.
i like how he and may and the rest of the team of course are putting time and effort into this channel
it has some kind of wholesome feeling to it now
okay so who else would love to watch the show but don't want to/objectively object to the premise of signing up for yet ANOTHER service
Me! and also find it hard to believe Hammond had to sell a few bits of old iron to fund the garage when it has the might of the discovery channel behind it!
Hello Hammond love when you do these
Nice to see one of the trio reminding us why they are still the best in the business. (Lots of great UA-camrs.. but)
I have to agree with Hammond, that Zonda really is beautiful
Zonda is nice but still not as fast as a rental !!
that 901 is so incredible!!! i love it!
When he’s talking about the zonda I’m in the background and I didn’t even realise until I got home lol
I like my MkII RS2000s, excellent car, but yours looks like its sitting too high at the back? What suspension have you put on it?
It was my great uncle who drove the Jensen in the caravan towing record. He wasn't a Brum though, he was from Norfolk. I think the record was set in Cambridgeshire (though could be wrong on that bit).
Owners who actually drive their million dollar Zondas deserve every ounce of respect. Cars are meant to be driven!
Zondas are much more expensive. 3-10 million depending on the version
4:45 At least that man was appreciating it.
15 years later from today, the Zonda would still look fresh. This is a design from 20 years ago. Amazing.
When will it be possible to watch Hammond's workshop in Germany? It has not been released here yet :(
"We're proud to have got it here" ....... You could hear the brummy bubbly up in Hammond there
I was at Le Mans a few years back for the 24hr having an ale or 3 at the restaurant on the Mulsanne straight, the car park was full with a few Porsches, a Ferrari or two and Astons, but surrounded by people looking over it was a natty old JPS Capri. The faces on the other cars owners when everyone was looking at the Ford and not their exotica was hilarious.. dream car aren’t always the most expensive.
Love when the lads host a video, of course I love Mike and all the drive tribe team too but it feels like a mini TG or GT episode whenever one of the trio take the lead
That thumbnail really baited me. I was surprised Hammond actually owned a Zonda and even more that he was selling it.
Richard Hammond is so on point right now, very watchable and entertaining.
I could listen to Richard talk about cars all day
Commander Philip Heseltine is mentioned in Peter Swinger's book 'Motor Racing Circuits in England'
On Snetterton circuit it mentions that Commander Heseltine was a stalwart of the club, and one evening in the early 1960's he arrived with his wife Biddy at the clubhouse to find that Jim Russell had just completed a 24-hour reliability trial in a Vauxhall. During the evening Commander Heseltine asked Jim Russell if he would like a cup to commemorate the feat. The offer was accepted and a tradition developed whereby the record established by Jim Russell's Vauxhall was challenged in later years. There was only one basic rule to challenge for the Commander's Cup which was that the vehicle used had to be an unmodified production saloon; the rule was later changed to allow any production car to make the challenge.
i was heartbroken when i saw the picture well i mean firstly i was happy to find out he owns one and then sad that he was selling it but now im just happy to know that if he owned one he wouldnt sell it, but also sad that he doesnt own one. basically a rollercoaster
The RS2000 even has the original Ford Orange Peel effect paint work ...
Well done 👏
Lol
4:28 please tell me you’re going to replace those dry rotted tail lights
Oh wow look at the amount of cars there I'd love to have been there to look at the cars and take pictures 📸
Some absolutely fantastic cars there …but I have to say the ford RS 2000 is just a fantastic car had one many moons ago and yes wish I still had it today so to see that car there was just perfect well done mr Hammond 👍
Would love to be able to watch the show in New Zealand
Just watched the Episode 6. 🙂👍👍👍. Love this show much much more than the great escapists.
Is the show comming to europe soon or is it going to stay available only for UK and Ireland
Brilliant to see a Jensen cv8 mentioned. My dad's favourite car, and my son is named after it for dad... Minus the cv8 bit 😅 beautiful car
You should have made a series out of the The Interceptors!
LOVE IT 😍 My dad had one with a factory motor kit. He honed around with it. T
I love the rs2000 what a machine....down under they where much loved !
The Jenson Interceptor looks so effin cool there
A Jensen like that was in the London Spy TV series. Beautiful looking car and sounds fabulous.
Never been interested in supercars, but that RS2000 is simply fantastic.
The c-v8 is great but i love the interceptor.
Some nice cars in this video. James May attempted the caravan towing speed record using a Mitsubishi Evo VII in series 2 episode 6 of TG.
He’s so knowledgeable I’m a Porsche man love them and never knew that fact
When's your show coming to discovery+ in Canada?
Wow quality car wish I could buy it any1 for a ford focus 57 plate? 🤣👍🏻 thanks for sharing this
It's a shame we cant watch the Workshop show. I thoroughly enjoyed the few episodes that used to be on youtube
Richard should be in Peaky Blinders just so we can hear more of his Birmingham accent
From what I’ve seen of Richard’s recent UA-cam videos, he’s unbelievably dedicated to his new show of rescuing classic cars. Which reminds me of Wheeler Dealers, which has lovers and haters. I’m guessing Richard has seen Wheeler Dealers, wonder if he’s a lover or hater of it.
Richard is sounding more like that bloke who does grand designs when he describes cars 🚗
That Zonda is automotive art!
Mr Richard you and Mr James you are A Brave men .. A full Respect from me .. hope for you all a great happiness life ..Enjoy .
I wish he spoke about that glorious SLR MSO!
The zonda is a timeless classic
Seeing some orange peel in the Escort's paint job. Something to correct with the gun/paint blend/booth temperature and dryness.
Thats intersting about the 901 - 911 story. Im into vintage RX mazdas and the Europeans had a 818 where the rest of the world got a 808. Peugeot did the same thing to Mazda.
Wasn't the Evija at this event, too?
I saw that zonda at goodwood fos last year
My Old Boss, Robert Dixon had one of those Jensen CV8's.
How rivetingly interesting.
I can't believe they just skipped over that McLaren F1 LM.
This new venture is going to ruin him
It's not. It's a great way to sell his cars he doesn't want or need. He's not putting his savings into this.
What color was that slr next to the zonda? Gorgeous!
Love how the car turned out
