incredible how some of you can follow petrolicious and dislike the grandiose nature of this man, this is the exact owner I’d love to meet and chat with for hours... a true petrolhead
As a TVR owner I can we are a bit on the eccentric side but I think you have to be own a car like the TVR I friends with Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and it the my Vixen that garners the attention when we go to meet ups it just neat unique and cool car.
Let's not forget the audio quality either. I love hearing these classics. It would be nice if they made longer sections of just the owner driving so we could hear the car more.
A man with character...matched purfectly with this car dripping with character. Although his rain coat almost didn't fit in the car with him. I loved his art and photographs matched his life style...."Perfect Petrolicious".....RIPE!
Fantastic - Une Homme avec bon taste, elegant style and I agree with Monsieur that these Granturas have soul. A lovely Petrolicious film as ever. Vive La France !
Have to disagree on the music. Not quite sure why they used American rock when it's a British car. Lots of great British rock from the '60s. Something like 'The Kinks - All Day and All Of The Night' would have been perfect.
I can really appreciate this particular video. As a teenager (with a teenager's budget) growing up in the midwestern United States I was attracted to a Triumph Spitfire as my very first car for many of the same reasons. (In Illinois it certainly wasn't considered a practical year-round car by any means.) It looks like Gregorie indeed found his perfect car. That TVR has some stunningly beautiful lines along with more than enough soul to back up that beauty.
Wonderful ! brings back a lot of memories. In the mid 1960's my friends older brother had one of these- with a Coventry Climax engine as I recall. It was stored for a while in my Mother's garage and one short trip in it helped ignite the spark and make me a lifelong petrol head.
In 1964, my cousin returned from Oxford to Canada with this car 1963 TVR, I never forgot that car and it started me on my way to driving and loving sports cars ever since. I think I aways saw that car as some sort of mythical object. My cousin raced that car and drove the hell out of it in Toronto for years.
In the pantheon of great British sports cars, IMHO all TVR's (as a marque) and the Griffith/Grantura (as a model) are highly underrated! What a fantastic car and as with most Petrolicious videos, it's obvious the owner Gregorie truly loves his car. Also, like many enthusiasts I can't wait until the new TVR (finally) comes out! Gregorie, thanks for sharing your awesome piece of British motoring history! Cheers mate!
My friend and I recently rediscovered the 2500/vixen/tuscan and have been utterly in love with the styling and proportions. A forgotten gem of indescribable beauty.
Congratulations in driving a dream and an icon with what your lifestyle is about of beauty and art and the freedom driving this spectacular rare machine that you carefully tastefully as an art..
Très belle découverte que cette TVR inconnue pour moi. Son propriétaire est vraiment raccord avec elle et en parle très bien. Merci Petrolicius pour la qualité du sujet et des images 👍
"Every trip is an adventure in a TVR". Yes indeed. I had a TVR S2 and while it never left me stranded, every trip was an adventure in finding and curing new rain leaks, dodgy earths and new rattles. I think the owner of every TVR is the R&D department with the number of improvements I had to make. Went like a rocket but not a go to work motor.
I really loved this video! After so many 911s on Petrolicious we get something really interesting and unusual here, both the car and the owner. M. Desmons is a Total Car Enthusiast and it was nice to hear him talk about what the car means to him. In addition, he is a talented artist and can capture the spirit of a vintage car in his painting. Kudos to the Petrolicious team for another memorable video.
Love the shape and size of this car. And it fits perfect to the owner style :) Imagine the under 1000kg car with the v8 engine that was mentioned by Gregorie: Beast & Cobra killer!!
If there were only a translation button... The cinematography is as usual, outstanding. Accompanying music just perfection. Subject matter, well, it's a car. What more can I say. Did I mention the absence of a translation button?
Whoa, this guy is totally fruitloops, and I love his over the top style contrasted to what seems to be a serene demeanor. And what a cool little coupe. I love whatever the exhaust "engineers" did at Trevor's coachworks. I've never heard a TVR I didn't like.
I thought the exact same thing and was about to comment haha. Funny look alike not considering that he seems like a nice guy with an admirable passion for beautiful cars.
A true car guy and a cool dude both are stylish icons still have a quiff I'm afraid that left me a lot of years ago 😞😞 great pairing clio just wouldn't do it, so thank you so much for the video 😀😀❤️
There seems to be a shift towards portraying more of the owner instead of the car, same thing in the last video. Nothing against giving the owner some time to talk but would be nice to have the car, it's design and sound more in focus.
That's basically like telling Petrolicious to not be who they are. This is something they've been doing from day one and it's what sets them apart from the others... History of the car, the owner, how the owner became interested and ended up with the car, the owner's perspective of the car's place in history, etc... All very Petrolicious and shedding light on the ongoing relationship between man and machine.
@@Mantenner Not true, there are episodes, where the car, its look and sound dominates the video and the driver is more in the background. Anyway, it's good quality either way.
Petrolicious have always kind of been character collectors, but I suppose there's a balance and this one is leaning a bit too far to the driver for my taste as well. I mean look at that car!
How often are you going to get a show about such an obscure little car.. it is a beauty.. It bothered me too when I had a 72 midget that had a 1300 cc all iron engine without cross flow heads ..
incredible how some of you can follow petrolicious and dislike the grandiose nature of this man, this is the exact owner I’d love to meet and chat with for hours... a true petrolhead
same for me!
Incredible how you can like Petrolicious at all.......LOL.

I concur.
Everything in petrolicious videos are eye candy. Testament to the Quilty of content with the cinematography and editing!
Let's not forget the audio quality either. I love hearing these classics. It would be nice if they made longer sections of just the owner driving so we could hear the car more.
Agreed !
The lines in these classic cars are marvelous.
Great car.
Great owner.
Great video.
Thank you, Petrolicious.
A man with character...matched purfectly with this car dripping with character.

that thing sounds insane and looks absolutely gorgeous

Probably the only person who can rock a leopard-shirt!
agree! :)
The way the video was shot and music was spot on! Btw this owner has some real artistic skill, love the painting of his car🇺🇸👍😎
I'm not an art lover but his paintings really stuck out to me as beautifully well done. The whole video was fantastic as well.
Have to disagree on the music. Not quite sure why they used American rock when it's a British car. Lots of great British rock from the '60s. Something like 'The Kinks - All Day and All Of The Night' would have been perfect.
Beautiful! His art is captivating as all hell too...
This man and this car... They go so hand-in-hand, that one wouldn't be without the other.

Car owners on Petrolicious all have character, but none bigger than this guy!

What I do really appreciate is that this guy is totally committed to the passion, the art, and lifestyle that this car represents
Congratulations in driving a dream and an icon with what your lifestyle is about of beauty and art and the freedom driving this spectacular rare machine that you carefully tastefully as an art..
The TVR is a beauty and a BEAST in one!! Thanks Petrolicious, you do it again!!
De Grantura is één van de meest onderschatte sportwagens. Dank u wel Gregorie!
This guy is the complete French package. Love this.
Belgian in fact ;)
@@regisbigot2037 - I stand corrected. Thank you.
@@CantThinkofaCoolOne No matter ;)
The spice of life! Thank you!
Tolles Auto, kannte den gar nicht und der Besitzer, top! Eine perfekte Symbiose. Jeder Film von euch ist echt großes Autokino. Chapeau.
Amazing Camerawork makes cars more pleasant .

john marsh ha ha I hear you but off to work in a minute in my TVR. Can’t beat the make you feel alive driving in one
magnifique !
Absolutely beautiful car.
Merci à Petrolicious ! Beau reportage.
Beautiful little beast.

Dark gray chrome colour is the
Perfect shine for the cars from 40's and 50's era
What a cool video ! And a cool man !
I've been seeing photos online of this Grantura for years now, so i'm really happy to learn more about it.
Très belle auto, pleine de charme ! Merci pour ce partage, et les magnifiques images accompagnant un commentaire de passionné.

There are text captions for this video and they are in english (at least for me)
@@jensenhealey907efi brilliant news.....How does one activate those helpful little devils ?
J'adore le style du mec, sa vision de la voiture ancienne. Quel talent à travers ses tableaux !!
Wow a car I never knew existed before now. TVR has some crazy body engine combinations. Great video as always thanks.
Beautiful car, charming owner, excellent video like always. The owner makes me think about Tintin by Hergé.
Extremely cool car and driver as well! Perfect match!
The profile of that car and its lines in general are freakin gorgeous
I'm glad to see someone else enjoys the aesthetic aspect of cars so much that he wants to paint them.
What a Beautiful forgotten CLASSIC !

YESSS!! A TVR, finally :O)
awesome cinematography!!!
Belgium representing 💪
Pardon my French but that car positively kicks ass.
The usual excellent Petrolicious offering. I've always yearned for a Grantura, but was never aware of the HRG-modified 'B' series version.
First time I recognize places I've been in a Petrolicious film. Fun !
this is one of the best looking and interesting cars i've seen.
Is that Anto Ego from ratatouille?
I thought the exact same thing and was about to comment haha. Funny look alike not considering that he seems like a nice guy with an admirable passion for beautiful cars.
Stunning! Thank you for sharing your beautiful TVR
L'esthétique avant les performances, c'est une très belle philosophie !
Merci pour cette belle vidéo originale.
Another Petrolicious masterpiece
La plus belle des TVR! Magnifique!
OMG this is beautiful
That must be a rare car. I grew up drooling over the European cars in my fathers old Road & Track magazines. I don't remember seeing one like this.
Absolutely wonderful. I want that Grantura painting.
Love the car and the paintings are beautiful as well
Damn, those paintings are incredible too
Nice car, nice movie, nice sounds, nice music.
The man has taste......the man has style.....nuff said
Love the cinematic look, the colors, great stuff!
I love the sound of that TVR, mmm mmm mmmmmm
One of the coolest videos and cars😀
Life of the legend 🙌...
Bravo... Petrolicious. Bravo
A true car guy and a cool dude both are stylish icons still have a quiff I'm afraid that left me a lot of years ago 😞😞 great pairing clio just wouldn't do it, so thank you so much for the video 😀😀❤️
He does some cool paintings as well.
I love this site u guys should make more wish u best don't give up
Very immaculate car. Beautiful, simply beautiful

It’s always been about the driver, their story of the car and the car itself. Have you not watched any of their other content? Always been this way.
macheifach Yeah, I was going to complain about the lack of engine sounds, editors: please fix this.
@@Mantenner Not true, there are episodes, where the car, its look and sound dominates the video and the driver is more in the background. Anyway, it's good quality either way.

Two class acts, a man and his machine.
I don't understand his language, but the Grantura speaks volumes.
Bruxelles, la place Flagey et les étangs d'Ixelles de nuit ! :)
That edit from 2.30 tp 2.45 alone deserves an oscar
Eye candy indeed. What a beauty
WHAT A CHARACTER! SMOOOOTH
Simply gorgeous
TVR Grantura and Griffith are really cool looking cars. Bond Style.
beautiful...
Many thanks for sharing with us all this amazing video Absolutely gorgeous isn't it! x-x

Félicitations ! Une belle année 2019 avec votre Grantura. Bravo Petrolicious, très belles images comme d'habitude
Beautiful.
With every video I find a new dream car
Wow ! Simply wow !
I want one!
I didn't understand a word. But what a great car with an obviously interesting owner.
Perfect match of owner for that TVR.
Formidable!!
What an amazing car
Beautiful car
How often are you going to get a show about such an obscure little car.. it is a beauty.. It bothered me too when I had a 72 midget that had a 1300 cc all iron engine without cross flow heads ..
