Rather ironic that most of his breakout role in media was an anon non-speaking role. His 2010 book reveals a very personal bloke with a quick wit, so it is great we get to see him as Ben in the youtube era.
Doors, that do not open for anyone, open for Ben Collins. The Ring Brothers open door is a testament to the respect they have for him, and he for them.
God people really don't understand how many hours these builds take. Jesus when he was going through the engine bay alone is just a stupid amount of hours. Thanks for the interview and all the hard work Ben!
That DBS though. The 'Eleanor' of Aston Martin resto mods. *Chef's Kiss* 🤌

I feel like it has lost anything that made the car iconic. It's barely recognizable, at least in the renders, and with them chopping and messing with it structurally, I doubt it will retain any of the driving capabilities. Might as well have done it from scratch.
Love this stuff Ben! Actual meaningful insight allowing us behind the scenes of one the world's most prestigious, secretive, and capable custom car builders, absolutely cracking stuff. Can't help but wonder if some development driving for them maybe on the menu 🤔. Keep it up fella!
That Buick Grand National is terrifying. 1250hp from the old 3.8 litre V6? Where did all that power come from? There are still thousands of those motors sitting in clapped out Holden Commodores in Oz. Edit: I must say, that Aston DBS will be something completely amazing. Purists will vomit but it's not being built for them. I can't wait to see a video where Ben drives it.
British Sports cars have always been full of quirky ergonomics and although some would cry sacrilege it is common sense to refine and perfect those Aston quirks to the modern human form while taking advantage of improved corner weight and balance as well as making it a manual gearbox :-) Cant wait!
As always another great video from Ben. From driver who cant speak to a great presenter - his transormation is amazing. From great driving to be natural in front of the camera and microphone. Keep with the great work Ben. Cant wait for the next one.
Those cars are amazing. I am sure the build quality and attention to detail is top notch. But I can’t imagine they have gone through anywhere the amount of engineering and testing a regular production vehicle has, so I always wonder if living with one do they feel a bit chintzy, a bit rattley and fragile and worried if something is going to go wrong?
Another brilliant video Ben, love your content, you're a natural presenter i listen and hang off every word. I would love to see you drive their Aston Martin 😮 x
BEN IS A GREAT GUY AND INFORMED, AND """CAN DRIVE ANYTHING REALLY WELL ON A TRACK!! CANT WAIT TI SEE IT DONE ,,WITH BEN TAKING IT OUT AND PROVE ,,, ITS GONNA KICK SOME
I really like what they did with the body and dash of the Grand National. I wouldn’t have wanted the cage or the CO2 activated waste gates for everyday driving as it’s just an added complexity. However still very beautifully executed.
60's for the DBS but started as a Straight 6 , designed by William Towns who designed the 70s wedge Lagonda saloon favoured by Arabic sheiks and Royalty.
dont i just hate that , sema comes around and the ring brothers come out of the woods . breaks my heart when i see one of their absolute redesign of a car i grew up dreaming about that i knew then i would never own and do not have any kind of money to buy anything they build now . reenoir on wheels .
If you have $1,000,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you know who to call .... *ME !* And then when I have your money, I'll call Ring Brothers and order something for myself 🙃They make a healthy profit, but in fairness, they earn it.

That is probably one of cleanst Grand National customs I've ever seen. Absolutely beautiful!
We agree!
Stig has taken to being Ben like a duck to water, as perfect as Stig was i feel like we missed out on not having Ben sooner.
100% im glad we have him now.
Rather ironic that most of his breakout role in media was an anon non-speaking role. His 2010 book reveals a very personal bloke with a quick wit, so it is great we get to see him as Ben in the youtube era.
I have said it before Mr. Collins took the Stig from an oddity and gave the character a personality he is and will always be The Stig.

The Ring Brothers open door is a testament to the respect they have for him, and he for them.
Wow … that was automotive professionalism at its finest .. thank you 🙏
Glad you liked it!

That Grand National ❤!!!!!
That Ringbrothers Aston will be AMAZING!
Always loved that era of Aston Martin as well. Looks like a cross between a Ferrari Daytona and a Chevelle.
the inside of that blazer is what the interior of the cyber truck SHOULD look like IMO
You're so right!

Always like your collaboration, but these guys and cars are just perfect.

Really excited to see what they do with the Aston. They always do top notch work.
Ben that will be so cool for you to drive it and give a review of it! Especially if you can get it to Goodwood.

Another very professional yet watchable post. Thanks Ben .
Glad you enjoyed it
The 71 V8 DBS concept looks too good to be true. I'm actually drooling on that
Super cool. I’m looking forward to his his driving impression plus it will be very interesting to see what the Ring Brothers do to a non NA ride
You and me both!
Digging the 80s stuff, it was new when I was learning to drive so somewhat aspirational.

Cant wait!
As always another great video from Ben. From driver who cant speak to a great presenter - his transormation is amazing. From great driving to be natural in front of the camera and microphone.
Keep with the great work Ben. Cant wait for the next one.
Thanks for that!
*I'd love one of those Chevrolet Monte Carlo's that featured in the film Training Day*
Been waiting on some Sema content, thank you 👌🏻
Hope you enjoyed it!
The grand tour retires and Ben takes over, its poetic really. 👍
So sick Ben. Cheers man.
" Get sliced and diced in the grill" Right right " I love it " :D
Dang...just found your channel...New Sub!!✌️
Welcome aboard!
"The young guys don't even know what those are..." as Ben laughs nervously and tries to look like he knows what a headlight dimmer switch is :)
Amazing vision and execution RB!
Omg…! The Stig had to ask about the dimmer switch!
Those cars are amazing.
I am sure the build quality and attention to detail is top notch.
But I can’t imagine they have gone through anywhere the amount of engineering and testing a regular production vehicle has, so I always wonder if living with one do they feel a bit chintzy, a bit rattley and fragile and worried if something is going to go wrong?
That Grand National gives me the Fizz 😂
Another brilliant video Ben, love your content, you're a natural presenter i listen and hang off every word. I would love to see you drive their Aston Martin 😮 x
Maybe one day!

These builds are way out there.
I’m sure the Aston Martin will be great. Kind of mixed feelings to take a car like this apart and change it so much.
I really like what they did with the body and dash of the Grand National. I wouldn’t have wanted the cage or the CO2 activated waste gates for everyday driving as it’s just an added complexity. However still very beautifully executed.
Very cool and so nice to offer Ben to drive it.
Yes it was!
Awesome video Ben, now that is how you do a SEMA video man!
Glad you liked it!
I honestly thought this was Nurburgring content 😅
Still glad to have watched this... some awesome cars at SEMA
Glad you enjoyed it!
God that gnx is so gorgeous
This was an incredible video.
Be really interesting to see how Ring Bros Aston compares to Retropowers
nice work Ben; thanks
Sema famous for Bluetooth everything
How many SEMA car can run and can run without overheating?
All that glitters is not gold.
So they are putting the 5.2L Predator Ford engine in that Aston. Same engine that was in the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500. 760 HP, 625 lb-ft.
Can’t wait to see you drive Aston Martin, Ben! 😜
You and me both!
I'd love to see them do their take on a Jensen Interceptor/FF.
Awesome cars
huh ring bros working on an aston?? crazy. . . . I need to talk them into restomodding my 2002tii!
60's for the DBS but started as a Straight 6 , designed by William Towns who designed the 70s wedge Lagonda saloon favoured by Arabic sheiks and Royalty.
Scoop and a half 👏🏻
super duty dashboard in a blazer!
He's not the usual Ring Brothers
Sheet metal bumper!
Absolutely incredible next level
Did you asked the steering position in the Aston Martin? will it be on the right or wrong side?
At least once a year, my wife comments how much she misses the floor mounted dimmer switch. so cool
I love one half couldn't tell you what power plant only it was a Ford, the other half is like oh it's a 5.2 coyote engine
That’s an amazing MUSTANG THEY ARE BUILDING 🤣🤣🤣
sweet bro 👍🏻🔥💯💪🏻
Thanks for the visit
i feel like there needs to be a counter on how many times he is replying with just “yah” lol
Wow, you never get an insight into a RB's build and I have to say it would be amazing to see it at Goodwood with you ripping up the hill.
More to come!
I know it's been done a million times but I wouldn't mind seeing what these guys do to a 993 or 964.
Hey Ben it's Carlos from Las Vegas hey where are you at man I'm at the show let me know where you're at and come up and say hi
If i was the next Bond film director that would be the next Bond car.?, Sorry Aston Martin but it looks the "Dogs Bollox's"🤷♂
0.31 to the right hand side that girl can lift
Oooooooft 😳
Legs that would crush walnuts
Wait ?? 3 pedals in a GN ??
dont i just hate that , sema comes around and the ring brothers come out of the woods . breaks my heart when i see one of their absolute redesign of a car i grew up dreaming about that i knew then i would never own and do not have any kind of money to buy anything they build now . reenoir on wheels .
5.2 Voodoo or Aluminator?
nice!

Just not sure about the Challengers rims. Not a fan of non Dish rims on Classic cars.

Keep creating such wonderful videos. Your videos are always inspiring.😹😽🐪
Thank you! Will do!
Poor US dude is hoarse talking because polite wonderful UK Ben just lets him talk. Haha
yhis time their builds arent special remember their amc javelin.
That truck is missing a 🏳️🌈 flag
The flat black is boring and makes it look cheap. I’m not a big fan of covering the engine bay with all that aluminum. That Regal is a beautiful car.
Way to big rims
Car making has gone beyond these sema junk heaps now.
Ring bros.
Amazing craftsmen, yet I like nothing they have done 🤷 sorry. Just my opinion. Others enjoy them and they enjoy building them.
Your videos are an example of what quality content on UA-cam should be. Keep it up!🐼🛴🧋
Thanks! Will do!
