Where do I start... such a great video Jonny. The way you & Gordon interact is so refreshingly natural & unforced. I could genuinely listen to you and Gordon talk cars all day long. The word ‘legend’ is very much thrown around these days, but Gordon really is a genuine automotive legend. The Spider is nothing short of sensational. I’m literally lost for words for just how perfect this car is. You can tell this really is a cumulation of his life’s work & experience than has crescendoed into this pure masterpiece.
Johny it is clear that Gordon likes you and respects you. This episode feels great, insightful, respectful and just a joy to watch. Gordon is a genius and humble at the same time
Thank you. Gordon and Jonny do get on well. Gordon said he really liked the original T33 episode we made. He also asked to sit in Jonny's Honda Insight when he rocked up outside GMA!
@@TheLateBrakeShow Big fan of the way you genuinely look like you're having a great time in your videos whether it's trying to get an old Merc to start or out on a drive with Gordon Murray. Too many channels are fake over the top clickbaitery.
@@TheLateBrakeShow I watched the Top Gear video before this, and the presenter seemed to be aiming for humour and making witticisms, which started to grate after a while and Gordon seemed like he was enduring a necessary evil. But with yourself, Gordon is enjoying your knowledge and enthusiasm and it's like a Michelin starred chef revealing his future creation (T33 Spider) and saying it's not quite ready for tasting... but here's an old favourite of mine (Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider) that I know you'll love. Whatever you do Johnny, keep the content coming, it's just the best.
I know Gordon is an absolute professional and just as media savvy and any other industry figure…but you can honestly tell he is different with Johnny (and Harry in his video). Fantastic work.
Plenty of walkarounds of this car online now, but this one takes absolute first place. Riding around with a legend in his old alfa. Gordon Murray really is something else. Engineering legend, absolute gearhead and he seems like a really nice guy to just hang out with. I used to have a poster of a mclaren F1 above my bed as a jud. Wish i kept it.
I came here straight after Harry Metcalfe's video, because I just can't have enough of Gordon Murray talking about automobile engineering. Yet I can't imagine anything that can't be improved by adding a touch of Alfa Romeo, so congratulations on a truly brilliant move Jonny!
as italian i'm proud to see that Gordon really like our classic cars(the Giulietta/Giulia Spider Pininfarina is a piece of art and for me the most beautiful convertible post-war,with the gorgeous Jaguar E-Type of course).Great job,Jonny and the team.
I want one... Gordon is not only a true engineering legend, but an all round nice bloke and the chemistry between you both is great. It's for this reason, I only watch your channel Jonny when it comes to Gordon's cars. Thanks again to both of you.
Jonny I really love your channel and your presenting style. Very respectful and enthusiastic and I'm sure Gordon sees that. Hence why no one else gets to have ride alongs with him 👍
I came here to write the same thing, it’s so calm and respectful between them; unlike any other channel review. Just so pleasant to watch and listen to.
The Gordon and Jonny relationship on camera is just brilliant, natural, respectful and witty. Gordon's design style an ethos is unlike anyone else's, when people say you have 3 options you can only pick two somehow he manages to achieve all three, beautiful design, engaging to drive and practical (for it's category at least!).
All killer, no filler. Two guys who love their job, but don’t feel they have to waffle on endlessly - the smile on Gordon’s face whilst driving tells you all you need to know.
Gordon seems like a man of few words as well as being a genius and a genuinely nice guy… Rare to get those 3 characteristics nowadays! Great video as always
Love Gordon Murray's pleasure in pure design. It's just like a mate sharing something really cool that they've seen, rather than boasting about something they've done. Utterly joyful.
Just love the way you do it, let them talk and relive the feelings & thoughts they had designing and building it. Love all those details, the backend, the lights, that snorkel, the gear knob, the…
You’re so lucky to get to spend time with one of motorings legends. Always wanted to meet Gordon Murray. He is an inspiration for future car designers.
A brilliant film beautifully shot showing the intricate details of what looks to be a fantastic car.....again! I really hope that these do well for Gordon. I love how you interact with your guests, so genuine, respctful and you ask the questions we all have on our minds! Well done Jonny and team for banging out another quality vid!
I love the ethos of GMA's cars, love the styling and the details, love the practicality too. Those rear wing luggage pods - c'mon now! Superb. Every other modern supercar leaves me cold.
Fantastic video, Gordon seems like a proper gentleman, they way you two chat is second to none just like two mates out for a drive. Love the new spider, an absolute masterpiece!
I catch myself smiling in all or your videos, Jonny. This video is as you Brits say, BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing your experiences, Jonny. Wish I was there.
I have been seeing this Spider on my TH-cam feed lately. But I purposely didn't click on any - until today. I have been waiting for this, and it did not disappoint.
Loved this! As much as i love the new T33 Spider....the drive out in the Alfa was terrific....could Gordon be persuaded to make a full series of drive outs in some of his car collection - we've had the Escort and now the Alfa...summer is nearly upon us - im sure a few choice cars could be brought out for a sunny day! 😃👍
A true gentleman, not afraid to admit a mistake. I applauded the all analogue car, instead of an iPad on wheels. As others have mentioned, I want one 😊
Great video as ever, can't wait for the video of you actually getting to take it out for a run - i'm confident the GM will happily let you have a go! Love the fact he's a no nonsense designer and if something is over complicated then it's not getting put on the car, no touch screen, no auto, no fancy one off tyres.
Another great video Johnny. Gordon is such a gentleman and a very likeable fellow, passionate about real cars and driving. Thank you for sharing this passion.
Oh my word that is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. Johnathan I love the fact you have such a relaxed relationship with Gordon and he is such a cool guy ❤❤
Great work Jonny - love seeing the relationship with Gordon only getting stronger. But when you see him next, can you tell him “you’ve lost weight” - imagine the excitement on his face!
I watched the whole show just to see the alfa…i had a veloce spider, mine was white with a red interior….boy i wish i had kept that one…like so many of the cars i have owned. Calculating the weight of the gear knob to overcome the synchros….now that is top level engineering!
I've watched 3 you tube channels cover this car with Gordon Murray, This is by far the best, Johnny let's him flow naturally you can tell he's done a lot of TV etc, and you can tell Gordon likes him. Great episode
Excellent vid, Gordon Murray is an unassuming hero! Brilliant engineer, superb designer and stylist and so good at explaining stuff. Thank you so much. More, more and more, please!
Love the way you both seem to enjoy each other's company, great car & video as usual, I'm watching this before anyone else's story, thanks Jonny, Rj in Oz
Thanks a lot Johnny for these videos you make we really appreciated it, And what an amazing of a person is Mr Gordon and what a masterpiece is this convertible
Gordon, those knobs remind me of the chunky (and very ergonomic) knobs in my Porsche 928. Love the very analogue and simplified instrumentation. I have no doubt this will be such a fun, exciting, and engaging car to drive. Well done Gordon. Cheers Tony
Very nice Alfa Romeo, nothing can beat that! The Twin Cam Nord-Motor, the Busso V6, and of course the Alfa Boxer engines, these three are golden. And the Ferrrari V6 in the latest Giulia Q, that's a nice engine as well.
Alfa Romeo were the only manufacturer to have four different types of engine configurations in production at the same time and all of them were great engines! V8 ( Montreal ) V6 ( Alfetta GTV ) Boxer 4 ( Alfa Sud ) Straight 4 ( Giulia Sprint GTV )
Car buffs buffing around in something interesting having talked through something on another level. GM smile whilst gunning it says it all. Another masterpiece of JS and his ease of talking to the great man on a one to one basis with the viewer looking on.
So proud to see the fruits of my one man campaign for proper side windows😁 Anyone can change the world if they pick the right cause and never give up 🤘
Fascinating as ever. Love that Mr Smith is getting an exclusive look at the new GMA car one day and then opening up a dusty garage door for a barnfind reveal the next. Variety spice and life an all that…
Great video again Jonny I do really enjoy the channel mate it has fantastic variety which makes it so enjoyable. That said the videos you have done with Gordon are some of the best , it always fascinating to listen to him and very insightful. He has so much to offer to us car fans and it is great watch and listen, you to both seem to be in tune with one another and have a good laugh also. Keep up the great work!!
Great video as always, Jonny. The soothing voice of Gordon-the design genius- and that lovely not over designed little car. It will only be topped when you visit the next Murray design, a front engine car with similar dimensions and it will of course be affordable for me.
A lot of people have had a lot of amazing life experiences. But I bet very few have been driven through English villages and countryside by Gordon Murray. What a life.
This video is head and shoulders above the others. Harry comes distant second. The key here is the engagement with GM and it can only come from having built rapport by understanding and respecting the background. Well done again
This is bad!!! My best car was the T33, now I changed my mind I want a T33 Spider !!! Always great videos between Johny and Gordon ! What a nice ride also way to much fun !!!
I love the T33 - it ticks all the super car boxes that I like - revvy v12, light weight, manual and classically pretty - plus there's a nod to practically so you can actually use it. Then he can go for a jaunt in this lovely Alfa and enjoy it for what it is! Reminds me a lot of my Dad - although my Dad's car making career stopped at gambos!
I think there’s a bit of a mutual man crush going on here 😂 Wonderful chemistry between you two. I love that Gordon has no car snobbery whatsoever & values the design & engineering in the very cheapest fiat/triumph/ whatever aswell as the most expensive. True car guys 🙏

Thank you Matthew. Means a lot.

I just wish Jonny was able to keep his Honda S600.

Seems i can't edit the comment now that it's pinned.
Totally. This is the only video of this vehicle worth watching today.
Gearhead. 🥴
He drove it like he stole it. Johnny you are one lucky lad. Timeless video magic

Jonny and Harry are two of the best UK TH-camrs I think. Both superb to watch and both did this car justice with Gordon. Amazingly beautiful car.

Gordon's design style an ethos is unlike anyone else's, when people say you have 3 options you can only pick two somehow he manages to achieve all three, beautiful design, engaging to drive and practical (for it's category at least!).
Love it. No bs, first 10 seconds he says "were not driving it". No click bate, no nonsense. Keep up the good work. Now I'm watching all of it.
All killer, no filler. Two guys who love their job, but don’t feel they have to waffle on endlessly - the smile on Gordon’s face whilst driving tells you all you need to know.
so glad this man is not only alive, but working actively!!...
He's more active in his 70s than most of us in our 20s...
Gordon seems like a man of few words as well as being a genius and a genuinely nice guy… Rare to get those 3 characteristics nowadays! Great video as always
Gordon is such an amazing man, I could listen to him all day talking about potted plants if I had to. Thank you for this great video.
Love Gordon Murray's pleasure in pure design. It's just like a mate sharing something really cool that they've seen, rather than boasting about something they've done. Utterly joyful.
You can tell Gordon has nothing but time for Jonny. He obviously appreciates a proper car person. Great video

So great to hear Gordon and Jonny talking about his fantastic automotive engineering!

Many thanks Man with Dog.
As a Manx Man i loved seeing Gordan wearing an Isle of Man bobble hat. The T33 spider is gorgeous, just wish we could have heard it.
Gordon Murray is an automotive legend of course. Even my American and a Mexican friend asked me if i've seen this car.
The rear reminded me of a Ferrari 250LM. I really enjoy your chats with Gordon and love the GMA cars
Always such a treat when you visit Gordon. Keep it up Johnny!!
I love the ethos of GMA's cars, love the styling and the details, love the practicality too. Those rear wing luggage pods - c'mon now! Superb.
Every other modern supercar leaves me cold.
Having fun seeing all the British presenters today. What a treat. How much fun having Gordon take you for a ride in his Alpha.
Definitely do that again
Fantastic video, Gordon seems like a proper gentleman, they way you two chat is second to none just like two mates out for a drive.
Love the new spider, an absolute masterpiece!
I catch myself smiling in all or your videos, Jonny. This video is as you Brits say, BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing your experiences, Jonny. Wish I was there.
Cheers v much!
Absolutely beautiful. You made me feel like I was actually there, and could touch that T.33 and the beautiful Giulia. Thank you
I have been seeing this Spider on my TH-cam feed lately. But I purposely didn't click on any - until today. I have been waiting for this, and it did not disappoint.
Loved this! As much as i love the new T33 Spider....the drive out in the Alfa was terrific....could Gordon be persuaded to make a full series of drive outs in some of his car collection - we've had the Escort and now the Alfa...summer is nearly upon us - im sure a few choice cars could be brought out for a sunny day! 😃👍
I adore Gordon’s mindset in design and engineering .light ,practical.I could never afford one ,but man ,I admire.Well done Johnny.
Jonny, you and Harry are the best car interviewers.
Thank you for this beautiful episode.
A nother good video from Johnny very good
A true gentleman, not afraid to admit a mistake. I applauded the all analogue car, instead of an iPad on wheels. As others have mentioned, I want one 😊
One of the best T.33 spider videos. Johnny and Gordon have a good rapport.
Many thanks Simon.
Always a fan when Gordon talks… the decisions, the standards and the vision! Great video as always
Great video as ever, can't wait for the video of you actually getting to take it out for a run - i'm confident the GM will happily let you have a go!

Whenever I see videos appearing from other TH-camrs visiting Gordon I always wait for yours. Two friends having a good chat, love it.

Superb content! Especially getting out in the Alfa. Some of the best car content on this place.
Loving the lightness efforts and references. On that side of things.
Cheers Johnny for another top video 🏆👍. Also well done to the amazing Mr Murray for still creating amazing designs like the latest T50. Beautiful.🏆🇬🇧
This and the T50 are going to be amazing cars hope we get plenty of content on them! Keep up the good work Jonny 👍
Gordon seems like a genuine gentleman
Goodness... 17:14 timestamp... Look at those rear arches from down the car! Perfection😍
Car buffs buffing around in something interesting having talked through something on another level. GM smile whilst gunning it says it all. Another masterpiece of JS and his ease of talking to the great man on a one to one basis with the viewer looking on.
Philip, many thanks for the comment. Glad you liked the film.
My favorite, relaxing, car show right now. Thanks!
This is sublime, I can’t stop looking at the wheels
Forget the Lamborghini Revolto an' all that - THIS is a proper supercar! :) Great video... I'd absolutely love one of those...
So proud to see the fruits of my one man campaign for proper side windows😁
Anyone can change the world if they pick the right cause and never give up 🤘
Is that a wild Harrison Metcalf appearing in the background at 17.28!?! 🤣
Just want to point out that the sound during the drive was great! Really clear and coherent saying you had the top down!
We did try. Thanks!
...pantera from de Tomaso was for my opinion the greateste car ever made - now it is the T.33 - sadly I couldn´t afford one of those
Just bloody awesome, fantastic video with Gordon Jonny. And just a beautiful stunning car as well. What a colour that blue is.
Wow, this is going to be good!
Thank you Jonny.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Edit: this wasn't just good, this was brilliant!
Cheers for watching Sebastien
Gordon Murray what an absolute legend 👍🏻
Now that works. I wasn’t won over aesthetically with the T50 but this spider is beautiful
Fascinating as ever. Love that Mr Smith is getting an exclusive look at the new GMA car one day and then opening up a dusty garage door for a barnfind reveal the next. Variety spice and life an all that…
I would watch a whole show on these two doing this to all of Gordon’s garage bikes included

Genuinely charmed and chuffed to bits. Thank you 🙏
love the video...the ride in and discussion of the alfa is icing on the cake!
Gordon Murray, an absolute legend and hero of mine.
Another great watch. Many thanks Jonny
Great video as always, Jonny. The soothing voice of Gordon-the design genius- and that lovely not over designed little car. It will only be topped when you visit the next Murray design, a front engine car with similar dimensions and it will of course be affordable for me.
The man is a real, real talent. Such a pretty car, too. As well as all of the engineering bobbins.
A lot of people have had a lot of amazing life experiences. But I bet very few have been driven through English villages and countryside by Gordon Murray. What a life.
This video is head and shoulders above the others. Harry comes distant second. The key here is the engagement with GM and it can only come from having built rapport by understanding and respecting the background. Well done again
Taking you out in his Alfa? Oh yeah, you are a definite trusted journalist with Gordon.
We felt priveliged, that's for sure.
I don’t know why but this makes me want an s1 Elise more and more. Such beauty in this simplicity.
+1 .. Nice T.33 introduction catch!
That was a glorious half an hour. Loved it.
Brilliant, love that you got Richard's podcast question in Jonny!
This is bad!!! My best car was the T33, now I changed my mind I want a T33 Spider !!! Always great videos between Johny and Gordon ! What a nice ride also way to much fun !!!
He just seems like a damn nice bloke doesn't he. A really lovely video Jonny, well done as always.
The amount of Respect Johnny has is deafening
Always love a video with Gordon! And loving the Isle of Man TT hat
I love the T33 - it ticks all the super car boxes that I like - revvy v12, light weight, manual and classically pretty - plus there's a nod to practically so you can actually use it. Then he can go for a jaunt in this lovely Alfa and enjoy it for what it is! Reminds me a lot of my Dad - although my Dad's car making career stopped at gambos!
Living up to the late part of late brake with this one 😂
Don't.... We had technical issues...
The second part of the video with Alfa is brilliant! Thanks for that.
👌🏼
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you Gordon and Jonny
What a guy. I wanna work for him once I get a design degree. That's not something you can say about many companies now. Nice woolen cap and ol that.
Ha Ha Gordon was very diplomatic with his Volvo answer... Grreat stuff as always Johnny..
I think there’s a bit of a mutual man crush going on here 😂
Wonderful chemistry between you two.
I love that Gordon has no car snobbery whatsoever & values the design & engineering in the very cheapest fiat/triumph/ whatever aswell as the most expensive. True car guys 🙏
Oh WOW! I really dig the sides opening up!
