Thanks for showing this video. It reminded me of the times when a friend of mine had a Ferrari 250 GTE which had been rebodied to resemble a 1957 250TR. I never drove it myself but I did have several passenger rides in it. The sound of a Ferrari V12 Colombo engine really is something special.
@@hughchamberlain5018 yeah but he should drive it in the early morning when there are fewer cars on the road 😅 mad respect for him for taking her out anyway!
A very brave man driving a car that rare, that valuable, at those speeds, on those roads!!! But hey, it was built to be driven and not a garage queen!! 👍👍
My favorite car! Most unique front end! I cringed right at the beginning when he pushed the starter button a second time after it had already started and you heard that grind.
Awesome. Thanks for posting. When I was a kid in the early 80’s my grandma bought me 1/12 scale 57 Testarossa and it was so awesome. I’m sure it’d be worth a bunch today. It was expensive toy even then. Like 50-$60. Super detailed and made of metal. I always dreamed I’d have the real thing one day lol. It wasn’t really a toy but more of a collector’s type thing. Had one of a ‘28 Mercedes too.
I suspect it was a Bburago (from Italy!), I think actually in 1/18 (a popular scale.) You’ll find them listed on EBay , maybe not all the time but definitely if you’re patient and they’re not especially expensive. I’m sure you’ll find a Mercedes too. Revell made a plastic kit of a 250GTO in 1/12. They come up at times too. And if you go to Monterey Car Week or some of the events at Goodwood you’ll see the real cars! 😀
@@steviesindahouse4903 I think you might be right about that. I appreciate you letting me know. I’m going to keep an eye out for them. Very good idea. Btw, they were the same brand. Thanks 🙏 🥂!
That's an absolute eye candy candidate without a doubt, beautiful lines, symmetry and the sound of that husky engine 👌 I've got a couple of 1/18 scale model versions of this, one yellow race kit and the plain red, love them to bits, what a stunning car 🙂
I'd love to see it ran at goodwood or better yet pikes peak hill climb. It's a fitting race for it since there nothing much that could challenge it in it's class. The sound of the columbo 3.0 L v12 is almost as good as sex. I'm definitely jealous of the rider but I'd be scared to drive in most cities.
Old school Le Man cars are one of a kind aren’t they? The sounds they made were awesome and unique and thanks to the Forza franchise I know about them, every Ferrari race car is unique and beautiful I just wish the company wasn’t full of snobs who get offended when someone is willing to spend the money on them and then get bent out of shape when someone changes the color lol
Ferrari used to be beautiful with flowing lines and absolutely nothing that wasn't needed. Nothing like the boxy plush things they build now. I think Enzo's thought was, "If it's not necessary, leave it out". Very small dash and no trim on the inside.
A bit of research has me thinking its #0730tr Seats, dash, trim round gear gaitor all seem correct for the most recent pics of 0730tr that ive found (very few available to view tbh)
@@pianortd4800 research. This car was as the stickers suggest on The Modena Cento Ore in 2017 and was car number #73 a US entry driven by Smith/Smith. Car looks to have been fettled by GTO engineering in UK (as thats their property in the video) Car def entered the tour as there are pics of if on the tour with that numberplate and entry number Afaik they dont accept replicas (nor probably even toolroom recreations based on real Ferraris) on said tour so that means its likely to be a real one. Its then a case of looking at pics, researching, car is lhd so that whittles down the possibilities etc etc
@@th3b0untyhunter Good job on the research. Tefft Smith also owns 250GTO recreation built on chassis 1273GT. (1959 250GT Coupe). Also with South Carolina license plate TWS GTO.
Fast white knuckle drive on what seems a one way lane, with cars seemly going the wrong way...Takes balls, with such a valuable masterpiece..Sweated bullets, not even in the car.. : )
The owners will sometimes say 'it hasn't been used for a few months and the piston rings are sticking a little'. Which is believable. Or it could just be a Ferrari thing.
@@thephilpott2194Maybe, they put a bit of 2-stroke oil, because the unleaded fuel, being really dry, tend to dry out rubber fuel pipeline and gaskets, and also to wear out earlier the engine parts.
Original build Ferrari engines did not utilize valve stem seals. Current rebuilds should, but some owners are fanatics for originality. Nice to see this car has painted wheel rims and spokes, as that’s typically correct. Sure would like to see the block and chassis stamp.
Yeah, I doubt with the collection of cars in the garage when they pull in, that this car is a replica. Nice try though. With a 275 GTB on the lift, a 037 Stradale, 246 Dino, a AG6 Maserati, a 330 GTS, a Daytona, and another racing Ferrari in the back left corner, this car is real.

old fashioned ferrari v12s in general are the greatest engines of all time, especially this one
Driving a 20 million dollar car down the tiniest streets ever. I was sweating

At least he's driving it and enjoying it. He realizes ha can't take it with him.
It's like a girl friend, you don't save her for the next guy.
@@hughchamberlain5018 yeah but he should drive it in the early morning when there are fewer cars on the road 😅 mad respect for him for taking her out anyway!
@@yousifalblooshi6246 Is it a real TR, or a GTO Engineering TR?
@@kkfarmedkk not sure to be honest 😅

and then driving it on the wrong side of the road !!!! 🤣
My favorite car! Most unique front end! I cringed right at the beginning when he pushed the starter button a second time after it had already started and you heard that grind.
This car has been made for the open road, not for modern days traffic. Despite of that, what a great impression of that V12 sound.
That collection of cars at the end was insane!

A car is made to be driven otherwise it is just an inert object, nothing else than a picture in 3 dimensions.
enfin quelqu'un qui en fait profiter les autres sans mettre de musique,que du bruit de moteur,le pied total
merci
Just beautiful, sensory overload, my idea of what heaven looks like.
Truly a pleasure to watch! A very competent driver as this car should be enjoyed on the road. Awesome job!
Nice
Piece of art, i love this car man ❤️
If one can not resist beauty in it's purest form, then may this car be your eye and ear candy!
Legendary car
Holy Moly!!!......That is a moment of ridiculousness....then at the end....he rolls in next to the Lancia 037....I almost fainted.
Those 250 V12 sound amazing
Your best video so far, this needs millions of views :)
Raised the hair on the back of my neck! Fabulous. Love that car, love that engine. I worked on the engine from one in the 1960s.
Thanks for the ride!
I tell you, those cars bring out the racing driver in most men, whether you like it or not
Probably the sexiest sounding engine and definitely my favourite Ferrari
NO words needed really, good show!
I wonder if people passing by knew the value of this insane machine, because im certain that I wouldnt know xD
Tens of millions of dollars.
Those were my exact thoughts ha
Such a wonderful bit of footage to see and hear it being given some beans along British country roads. Tee hee.
That sound. It just does not get better.
oh its music to our ears
Is this an original 250 TR? Or one that GTO engineering made? Either way nice to see things like this on the street.
Fins and gills like some giant piranha fish... an obscene phallic symbol on wheels. Best Ferrari ever in my opinion.
Great driving! Gorgeous car! ❤
Paul 😎
Thats crazy driving that car on those streets
I like the kid hitting the start button again after it was already running, What do you think his ol man woulda said,,, No Big Deal?
Thats millions of $ on the road
That is such a beautiful collection…
Awesome video! You had a unique opportunity!
Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa in traffic. Super.
Most awesome sounding engine!
One of the best Ferraris!
Woahh!!
ITS A REPLICA..!! I KNOW THE OWNER.
NO ONE IN THE WORLD WITH HALF A BRAIN WOULD ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT IN THOSE ROADS ..!!!! ITS A REPLICA..!!
@@marksanduval1093 Name of the owner please. Yeah didn't think so.
Sound of heaven
What a beauty! 😍😍
... and look what's parked up inside... 😳😍

looks like Jim Kimberly's Pontoon Fendered 250 TR.
Queste auto sono capolavori vera leggenda
Somewhere, Phil Hill and Ollie Gendebien are watching this and smiling.
V12 Ferrari 😍😍👍
Same here. That grinding sound turned my stomach!😫
This is what we surf youtube looking for! Awesome. Lets see what else there is on this channel?
Огонь тачка! Любая машина должна ездить, даже самая дорогая, и дарить счастье и удоводьствие от вождения!
Such a beautiful car 😍😱
Crazy drive in a pubblic road?
absolute mad lad
You see Jaeger gauges and you know it's big time
Superb! 👏🏻
nice replica!
never mind, that rear view mirror is like a yankee cop spot light, a 'work of art'
The best music is a carbureted Ferrari V12
That's so cool
Magnificent.
Now that’s a car

Este sonido debería ser obligatorio en todos los coches.
It ain't even got a radio!?
Whats that electronic stuff on the glovebox place?
Fuse boxes
Pretty car....

The F-40 is like that. Probably the last one
Hi. Do you know which chassis number is it? Thank u.

🔥🔥🔥
Which chassis number is this?
I have this on for a horizon 4
most of the people in other cars dont even realized that this car is worth 20x their life earnings.
One of the guages doesn"t work. Does this affect the value ??
No.
People may say you’re crazy for driving at $40 million car I see it’s not worth the money it’s worth the experience to drive it
This car is not princess... It is a GTO revival car!
Lean to START correctly damn it...
Since when were you an expert at a starting this car? Play Gran Turismo much?
Am I correct in thinking that this model of Ferrari is maybe only second to a GTO in being the most valuable car in automotive history?
My favourite Ferrari 😍, and it’s worth $28 million!
Probably more, quite honestly.
No one knows what it is worth cause there hasn't one been sold in a while and there are only 5.
He thought it hadn't started and nearly wrecked the Bendix.
probably the least expensive part of the car : )
lovely
I liked the part where he almost got into 3rd gear!
Fast white knuckle drive on what seems a one way lane, with cars seemly going the wrong way...Takes balls, with such a valuable masterpiece..Sweated bullets, not even in the car.. : )
What the market value would be??
Depends on its history (race wins etc.) but anywhere between $35 million and $75 million (USD)
This one exactly, like 25 million of euros
Is that a real 250?
I'm just sitting here dreaming right now...
The perfect car for stop and go and speeding on the narrow UK roads…..😂😂😂😂
Why are Ferrari’s always blowing blue smoke out the exhaust?

WHERE IS YOUR HARD HAT?
Looks like a Miata with a body kit 😂

Do I spy a glimpse of a 365 California Spyder at the very end?
I think it's a 330 GTS.
Yep- she is badass...
beautiful car..beautiful scenery..amazing sound!!....learn to shift😒😒...
Petrol guage either not working ---or----- . Someone should show the guy at the start to be more sympathetic withe the starter motor.
After having these, I don't understand what the f***k we have now.
Non synch trans.. This is no race car due to quicker take off speeds. True race cars are geared very high for top speed.
Nice replica.
Yeah, I doubt with the collection of cars in the garage when they pull in, that this car is a replica. Nice try though. With a 275 GTB on the lift, a 037 Stradale, 246 Dino, a AG6 Maserati, a 330 GTS, a Daytona, and another racing Ferrari in the back left corner, this car is real.
I could not stand to drive over there. No room on those roads. Give me a good old American road with room to let all those horses gallop!
I wonder what this random guy does for living
I believe it would be like 100 dollars if a grain of sand scratched a microscopic piece of paint off.🥴🤪
You would think someone who owns a 3l12 250tr would know how to start the gorgeous girl
Dry steering? It's not yours!
