      There was an opticians at the top of North Street in Belfast in the 90s that drove his F40 to work and parked it right outside. Take a look at North Street/ Bridge Street on Google Maps and you'll see its still a very undesirable part of the city.

    In autumn 1988 I made a three days visit to Maranello with two school-friends of mine.
    Several times we had the chance to watch F40s on the Pista di Fiorano. The difference of speed between a F40 and e.g. a Testarossa both driven by factory drivers on this racetrack was atunning.
    Seeing all the these dreamcars on the streets of Maranello is yet another special memory.
    Thank you Iain for this video!

      Iain,
      I am “several” years senior to you and I have never allowed myself to indulge in a personal automobile. For twenty years I have loved the Bentley Continental GT. Mine would be white, with a light tan interior. (I am one of those OCD guys so it would always be spotless. Unlike my daughters bathroom! I am outnumbered by women.)
      That said,
      You are a treat. I share your videos with a few friends who appreciate your enthusiasm.
      Thanks again,

    What a great vid! Back in the days we had an event called Italia a Zandvoort - I don't have to explain where it was. I remember three great moments and I will mention the F40 one last. First was the classic race, where those little Abarth Fiats were racing the Le Mans Daytonas. In the corners the big V12 couldn't hget rid of the small Abarts. I also remember Frits Kroymans racing his 250 GTO against Hans Hugenholtz Jr. in a just restored late '50s Testa Rossa. When it still were two words. It was wheel to wheel and Fender to Fender. We could hear those Colombo V12 wherever they were. And the third nemory is about five F40's racing, again fender to fender. I remember some damaged noses and rears, knowing in that day a nose cost 30.000 Dutch Guilders (I guess 15000 euros) and a rear end 150.000 guilders (75.000 euros), and it was so nice seeing those owners really race those F40's big time. Your vids bring back all the memories.

    Fantastic to actually see this car being driven, it is what is was made to do but, as you point out, sadly to few of them are actually used.

Full credit to you Iain for showing us this car in it’s natural habitat and kudos to the owner for allow you to do so 😊

    Just one word....Epic!!
    Seeing how amazing looking this example is, it must be something else to get to actually
    drive such iconic cars as these.
    You have some serious powers of restraint there Iain, not to plant the throttle down the straight😉
    You could probably hear the Prancing Horse on the bonnet going "Just let me run free!!" 😂
    I'm sure its very lucky owner is going to really enjoy taking his car back after all of the work that's
    gone into it, what an amazing car.

    I had to wait for today for watching, but what a surprise it Wes at Oulton Park. That was fantastic, beautiful car, beautiful circuit and beautiful weather. I was a bot worried because I did see some little stones on the circuit, but the sensation of speed was more than the reel speed. I looked at the headlining during the video, and had to think of that part of the restauration. It looks as imperfect as it should be, and that is perfect. Thanks for this special video Iain!😍👍

    Having attended many races at Oulton Park some years ago, that was like the slowing down lap at the end of race.

    Genuinely interested why testing on racetracks or private roads isn’t considered a routine procedure for all builds. If I was spending car or house buying sums to fully restore something truly incredible I know I wouldn’t relish the burden of being the one to test its ability to cross continents in a weekend or set a blistering time at my favourite circuit - without some calamity spoiling my fun.
    Seems odd considering the seemingly insane attention to detail in literally every other respect, and surely better than cars being returned for tweaks or re-working, no? Plus fun! Two of Harry’s cars in recent years had to be returned for extensive work following rebuilds (one not yours). Is it something you discuss first with owners? Be interesting to hear you cover the pros & cons in a video one day. Cheers.

    Thank you for giving us a lap and just letting us listen to that beautiful engine.
    Enzo had to have been smiling that day for seeing someone finally driving one of his pride and joys in a way they like to be driven
    Your remark about driving them on the public streets reminds me of a friend of mine who until a few years ago had a beautifully restored 56 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
    He said that when it was on the freeway it would get downright dangerous with people crowding him and in other lanes sticking out their smart phones
    Thanks again and I can tell you're a gearhead because no pounding rock music while the car is on the track
    We're listening to the cars own music!

    Great to see Oulton Park again. I used to go there with pals from Sheffield in the 1960s, always a great day out. From memory there were Tyrrells racing there then, but that must have been an earlier generation. And then there were great characters like Blaster Bates telling how Knicker Brook came to be named.
