Amilcar Pégase G36: Joie de Vivre
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- In the years after the Second World War, this blue boattail roadster could be seen racing around the French coastline with a woman and her dog occupying the two seats. Mrs. Roux and her faithful furry companion, Mowgli, were not your typical participants in motorsport, but their’s was a story that captivated Michel Lampidakis, the current owner of this Amilcar Pégase G36. He is quick to point out that other race cars of the day were more technologically advanced and robust, but those measures seem hardly to matter this many years after the fact. Michel finds great enjoyment in owning this little-known piece of French racing history, and he doesn’t just let it sit to collect dust either, as you can see in today’s film where he invites us out for a ride in the French countryside

If I correctly remember my French car history, as Michel said the Amilcar factory started to have some financial issues. The Pegase G36 was somewhat of a "last gasp" in trying to breathe life into the company. However at that point it was already too far gone. But in their relatively short run Amilcar produced some extremely cool cars. And Michel's story of wanting the car for so very long, obtaining it and then reveling in the joy of ownership is something so many of us will fully understand.
Fascinating car with an historic provenance and the perfect caretaker makes for the kind of videos we expect from Petrolicious.
Beautiful car, great video, thank you for not forcing viewers with compulsory subtitles, I wish others could fo the same...
It’s been a while since I’ve tried out my French, but from what I can gather…
It’s a cool car.
Toby Wood click the English subtitles on 👍🏻
So nice to see this magnificent example of French auto history. They always seem to be overshadowed by the popular German and Italian manufacturers.
To be fair most german cars were better after the 2nd WW, and most italian sportscar were faster.
French cars were still generally cheaper than the german and more reliable than the italian. But that's a pretty forgettable combination. Average isn't impressive.
@@C4H10N4O2 i dont think you are correct about not being impressive and a forgettable combination, and this video is the proof of that
@@scratchacat Yes, but I said generally. We produced some amazing cars, but so much more average ones.
Fabuleuse histoire. Merci Petrolicious !
Un épisode de Petrolicious en français, c'est précieux, en plus avec une très belle auto et un pilote aussi connaisseur que sympathique ! C'est Noël !!! Grand merci ! :-)
Gloves from the Lamborghini book? And the garage is excellent 👍 not to mention the rides!!
Chandeliers in the garage!
The most French thing ever seen on Petrolicious. Off Petrolicious too :D
Merci pour ce moment magnifique avec cette vidéo, la maîtrise de l'enregistrement moteur est parfaite
Bravo Michel, vous êtes un gentleman driver et un vrai passionné.
No subtitles needed for videos like this! Great work!
Très content de voir un reportage en français. Tout ce que raconte ce Monsieur est vraiment très intéressant et instructif en plus d'être tout à fait exact. Je suis très admiratif envers ces personnes qui restaurent et entretiennent de vrais morceaux d'histoire.
Magnifique ! Merci Monsieur de nous faire partager ce moment de rêve et de balade dans le patrimoine automobile. Bravo Petrolicious pour ce montage, une fois de plus extraordinaire 🤩😍
You watch these about cars I've never heard of, about events I never knew about, and every video I learn something new.
Super interesting car and his garage is outstanding! I would go there many times just for "meditation" surrounded by such pieces of history in that environment. Love it!
Ravi d'avoir fait sa connaissance. J'ignorai tout de cette voiture. Merci Mr Lempidakis.
Beautiful car, would have never known of the Amilcar Pegasus if not for Petrolicious, bravo!
Chapeau à lui, elle est vraiment une vecture pour gentlemen
In this era, you've got to strap your dog in your car, just like any other passenger....imagine trying to enter a race NOW w/your dog along for the ride:
Race Inspector - "Excuse me, is that a St. Bernard in the pass. seat?"
Driver: "Yes, he's my navigator."
Inspector: "Is that a #flask on his collar?!"
Driver: "Yes, but it's only opened if we win."
A lovely video and a most charming car. The Amilcar cyclecars that came before this were wonderful too.

3:13 Les portes c'est vraiment histoire de dire qu'elle en a ! 😅
Superbe...
ARGH WHAT'S THE INTRO SONG. I TRIED EVERYTHING.
Bon voiture !👌🏿
lolol that door is smaller than my toilet seat
how can you buy the 'drive tastfully issue 2' magazine, i searched on the website but couldn't find it
des petits airs de Delage D6 Grand Prix, tres belle auto nonetheless
wow
I would pay for subtitles
Music too loud, too bad because the production is first rate
Ameracns v8 are still made with push-rods and single over head cams
Not all of them. Ford now uses a dohc design in their 5.0s
The video and its content are great, but please don't have the background music playing while words are being spoken.
Chann Sok dumbest complaint I’ve ever heard.
Λεμπιδάκη Θεέ, πάρε την ΠΑΕ !!!!!
Pole
Hohohohoho laugh in franch
Don't speak French! Merde!!!

The music was a bad choice.
