Henry got sacked from his last job by idiots, I think it´s the best thing that ever happened to him. Love Henry´s enthusiasm, and dear will to do his best for us!
Ford ran a 4.9 liter inline 6. But, it was only a high torque, low horsepower workhorse. Probably the most unkillable gasoline engine in a production light truck ever built.
How is it that this channel doesn’t have over a million subscribers yet? The videos on here are beautifully shot and edited and Henry is probably the most engaging motor journalist on the internet at the moment.
You may well be "the luckiest motoring journalist in the world", but more importantly, I think you're quite probably the best. The quality of the videos coming out of this channel are absolutely sublime. I've long missed riding down the road on my bike each month to pick up a copy of EVO when I was a teenager, but this more than makes up for it. Thank you and keep it up!
This is an achingly beautiful car. Half a century on, and I see the brand new vanquish vision concept as a world apart, but equally beautiful. They know a thing or two about design!
You're so bloody humble, Henry! You say you're the luckiest journalist, i just think you're simply the best. That'd be the reason why you're the only one having had a go to the DB4 GT and to this one as well. Lucky = hard work. Well done!
Back in 2003 I happened to be in London, crossing Blackfriars Bridge at around 5am. As I pulled up at the lights on the south side of the bridge, what should pull up next to me on an otherwise utterly deserted road, but a DF GT Zaggoto. I encouraged the owner to wind his passenger window down to chat - I was speechless and he was delighted to meet someone who shared his obvious joy. I asked him politely if it was indeed, genuine and he assured me it was and then told me that the absolute best thing about it, was that it went like stink. It was a hell of a car to see in the metal; so utterly beautiful and rarer than hens teeth.
11:05. I've seen 2 VEV with my own eyes. I was about 14 years old and travelling with a friend's family down the M4 in their rusty Fiat 131 Mirafiori with bullet holes down the side where the trim used to be! It was absolutely hammering it down with rain and believe it or not 2 VEV was being towed by a pick up truck on an open trailer!
I'd argue the new Vantage and DBS Superleggera are almost as good looking. Obviously they don't have the classic charm and beauty, but they're some of the best looking cars made in decades and I believe they'll be future classics in their own right
@@Ben-Rogue True! Though I think the Vantage has a much more timeless, athletic and classy design. The DBS on the other hand looks a bit too fussy and extreme, like it's hiked up on make-up and drugs lol. Both are still relative stunners though.
Every inch the visual equal to the 250GTO IMHO. Infact, of all the cars I could've chosen, it was 2 VEV that I decided to draw, just for fun (as I'd never own one!!)....
Great video, great car. Only comment would be Henry that as a journalist rather than a racing driver primarily an open face helmet would be a better choice as you would not sound muffled and we could also see the joy on your face.
Well done H. Lovely film as ever. Now, I wonder if it is me.? In looking at this, certain aspects SHOUT out to me AC Aceca.? Perhaps it is me.. Seasons greetings. WF PS, if you don't know, check out the Aston Workshop site. Their DB4 GT replica does not cost £6m and you'll get loads of change from their asking price. And perhaps a used Aston thrown in for good measure. Happy days.
@TSW13 Haque The rich collectors would probably stick to the original. Don't know anyone would want a second edition of something if they have the money to buy the first one.
1.2 mm thick body panels?! That's near paper thin! No wonder the 4.7L I6 is so heavy, it does give it a good weight balance. Henry does enjoy his job.😁
For as much as this is trying to be like the original, I was surprised at the modern seat. Thought they might have done something a bit more traditional. Still do like it though, even if it is a whopping £6 million with a dbs thrown in.
Not all of them are left hand drive, this one is the prototype which happens to be left hand drive. The customer's got to choose if they wanted right or left hand drive.
I love this car, and the idea of owning one, but it does make me think: for 6 million you could buy 24 Alfaholics GTA-R, which seems much more enjoyable. You really have to be lined with cash to own this. Kudos to the 19 lucky guys/girls, but for me it's just an exercise in car price speculation... especially since the original car never won anything significant, so no pedigree. Anyway, I think car journalists are enjoying more these kind of cars than modern day hyper-fast cars, which is something I admire. Hope to drive one car of this era some time in the future...
Im glad the channel knows who their best presenter is.
Henry got sacked from his last job by idiots, I think it´s the best thing that ever happened to him. Love Henry´s enthusiasm, and dear will to do his best for us!
"Do you know how fast you were going?" "Somewhere between 40 and 80 MPH, officer, that's as accurate as my speedometer gets..."
I noticed it and was like...damn, they really went for vintage accuracy right there...lol.
4.7 Straight 6!! That's a massive engine... Beautiful car!!
783cc per cylinder 🤣
@@lensoprezole5322 Harley Davidson is seeeething with jealousy right now
I mean Nissan still producing their 4.8 straight 6 in their super safari, be it only sold in Middle East. But it’s a big engine with a ton of torque.
Ford ran a 4.9 liter inline 6. But, it was only a high torque, low horsepower workhorse. Probably the most unkillable gasoline engine in a production light truck ever built.
Carfection is by far the most pleasing car channel contentwise. I'm in love! Thank you, everyone, who made these videos so great!
Theslamone check out tyrell's classic workshop.
This video is a real feast for the eyes and ears. Shout out to the camera men and editing team 👏
Henry is definitely my favorite car journalist. So good to hear him describe to drive and feel of vehicles.
Carfection makes the best car videos bar none. Henry is an absolute legend
Bravo Aston for choosing Henry to review these cars. There is no one better. Bravo Carfection.
Henry , the best way to start a weekend
I'm so glad to see Aston Martin doing these DB4 recreations. Now all I have to do is win the lottery. Thanks.
The sound of the gear changes is so satisfying.
Even the paint looks like it adds rigidity. What a beautiful car.
The ultimate classic!!!
I have goosebumps on goosebumps watching that beautiful piece of automotive greatness. Thank you for making this film.
How is it that this channel doesn’t have over a million subscribers yet? The videos on here are beautifully shot and edited and Henry is probably the most engaging motor journalist on the internet at the moment.

What a privilege driving that piece of art must be. I can barely keep my jaw from dropping.. stunning that one.. thank you for sharing this moment..
Damn that's gorgeous.
It's amazing but why put carbon fiber seats in it. Couldn't you do something more retro?
Couldn't enjoy it after seeing that. Awful.
Horrific.
I hope that was a customer choice.
I now wish you didn‘t point that out so maybe I wouldn‘t have noticed. Horrid.
So you missed the roll cage?
What a fantastic machine, I wish more companies would do these, but at more affordable prices.
You're so bloody humble, Henry! You say you're the luckiest journalist, i just think you're simply the best. That'd be the reason why you're the only one having had a go to the DB4 GT and to this one as well. Lucky = hard work. Well done!
One of the 10 most beautiful designs ever, for sure.
I'm so happy to have found this channel.
It goes without saying that a car of this caliber, finesse and heritage needs a presenter who's up to the job. And man, is Henry up to it.
The best car video maker in the world💥🔥🔥🔥💥💥
damn Henry you are one lucky dude at 9:05 you tripodded the car! awesome!

Always amazed at your ability to compare in detail with a car your drove once months ago!
*Video has Henry in it* - I am going to watch it. End of story.
Another wonderful review, thank you Mr. Catchpole!
What a gorgeous piece of engineering. Great video!
Lordie. Looks even BETTER backing into a corner. Didn't think that was possible.
My oh my. What a Beauty!
Loved among others, Henry’s 812 Superfast review.
Quite a skill to drive at that level and talk intelligibly about its details!
Just when I thought the DB5 was the most beautiful Aston Martin ever. This care takes my breath away !
Most beautiful ever...the DBR1!
11:05. I've seen 2 VEV with my own eyes.

All the right noises in just one beautiful car
Enchanting Henry, fabulous commentary and very accomplished driving skills....... Bravo!!!! 😉👋👋
What an absolutely gorgeous car. I’d happily forgo my modern Aston for one of these. Or a 79 Vantage.
You are the luckiest journalist but in fact, we are the luckiest subscribers.
Another pinch me day. Wonderful vid Mr Catchpole.
These continuation cars aren't road legal right?
That has been my favorite car for 50 years or so. I would love to see it in a proper green.
2:18 6 milion for a broken speedometer? Seems like quite the value
True to form.
It's just being British in period correct manner.
It’s a chronometric gauge.
It's British made, crack on.
Dear Santa....Another fine review Henry.
I wish Aston Martins were still this pretty
I'd argue the new Vantage and DBS Superleggera are almost as good looking. Obviously they don't have the classic charm and beauty, but they're some of the best looking cars made in decades and I believe they'll be future classics in their own right
Ben Rogue I agree with you on the DBS but the new Vantage is atrocious. I was a big fan of it at first but it’s just hideous to me
Takamusasu go back a few years and we have the Vanquish S. An absolute stunner of a machine
@@Ben-Rogue True! Though I think the Vantage has a much more timeless, athletic and classy design. The DBS on the other hand looks a bit too fussy and extreme, like it's hiked up on make-up and drugs lol. Both are still relative stunners though.
It looks Soo beautiful ❤️
This is my all time favourite car 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
This was a masterpiece.
Beautiful! Although struggle to see the point of it when you can’t register it for road use
Matthew Daniels true, but the fortunate owners of these cars can pay to rent tracks as they please - and can probably pay to close public roads too.
Won't be driven anyway garage queens
Beautiful car, beautiful piece of film, perfect presenting. Cheers!
Henry you are the best .
Fabulous car. Glad they haven't fiddled with it too much. Nice work on a neat video. Good job.
You know they're talking serious numbers when a sportscar is thrown in just to sweeten the deal
Every inch the visual equal to the 250GTO IMHO. Infact, of all the cars I could've chosen, it was 2 VEV that I decided to draw, just for fun (as I'd never own one!!)....
Be a tough choice but I'd have the Ferrari and be contented
Brilliant car captured in a very like manor. Great work!
You just keep doing better and better on track
This car is just plain gorgeous
Great production, and even greater car!
Great video, great car. Only comment would be Henry that as a journalist rather than a racing driver primarily an open face helmet would be a better choice as you would not sound muffled and we could also see the joy on your face.
Spectacular!
beautiful. But £6mil? How does that work?
Henry, you lucky chap, beautiful looking car, so much better looking than the modern one, didn't realise Aston did buy one get one free !!
Great video, why would you dislike it, an amazing car!!
Well done H. Lovely film as ever.
Now, I wonder if it is me.? In looking at this, certain aspects SHOUT out to me AC Aceca.?
Perhaps it is me..
Seasons greetings.

will it be cheaper if they will make the body a carbon fiber?
Zagato is my favourite car designer.
One of the most beautiful car ever built...
This is perfection. Pure.
6 million pounds? I want what they’re smoking...sort of... Lol
Two cars, though. Sounds hella practical.
@TSW13 Haque The rich collectors would probably stick to the original.
Don't know anyone would want a second edition of something if they have the money to buy the first one.
@@kamotetops1572 Walter mittys
I love these cars but how can they justify £6 million? ..
Top 4 or 5? it's #1, saw one a few weeks ago, breathtaking design. It's a masterpiece at which you can keep gazing...
Carfection perfection.
You’re the man Henry!
So beautiful that car. Damn.
What a lovely looking car . Just awesome . Aston should make the retro version of this with same design but modern machenicals .
Pankaj Tayal they already have. It’s the original Vanquish. That was what Ian Callum had envisioned when he designed it.
@@petermcelvogue7625 i meant the car should have exactly same exterior design with modern tech. Not a Modern version of this car .
Incredible car, incredible review
You are a lucky man!

Henry Catchpole for the next James Bond.
I'm still pulling for Idris Elba.

@@LaudaMaestro Right~on. Barry Halls is my cousin. I'm Big Richard's son.
Terry Hesticles hahaha bustin’ yo hesticles.
Nah, reminds me more of a budget Guy Martin
I've always taught this is the most beautiful ever. Still is beautiful but I've changed my mind since I've seen the Cybertruck.
What a MACHIIIIIIIINE ! ❤
What a stunning machine 👌🏻
Did they deliberately build in the speedo needle bounce?
off course they did
awesome - this car is so timeless beautiful.
Awesome car! Beautifully driven too!
WOW what a stunning looking car and it sounds great too, todays GT/Supercars just don't seem as pleasing to the eye as yesteryears examples.
Love this car it's almost perfect but what about the price though...
Beautiful
Wow, what a car.
This or a Jaguar e type low drag?
I would be happy with a fiberglass replica and a modern power plant. Now to win the lottery !
how about fixing that speedometer? it's all wobbly
Is it me or does the steering wheel look like it flexes and twists as he drives
What a beautiful car!
can you drive it on the road?
NICE ONE ! HENRY 👍
How does it sit with the Purists that these are Lefthand steering?
Not all of them are left hand drive, this one is the prototype which happens to be left hand drive. The customer's got to choose if they wanted right or left hand drive.
Great item.....you lucky man !

Yep. Pointless ego stroking for engineers and marketing people.
Watching how much hacksawing went on at the steering wheel... shameless.
