1989-94 had the best looking F1 cars ever.
1986-1994, but also 1977-1980
1983 Brabham BT52 was also good looking tho
100% agree
No your completely wrong on this one clearly 1988-93 had the best looking cars
agreed... give me those same cars, with v10's, and more safety features (higher side supports etc), carbon fibre everywhere, and that would be everything F1 could or should be
now we get vacuum cleaners
Ferrari 640 and 641 are one of the most beautiful racing cars ever made. Absolutely incredible pieces of art.
The most, in my opinion. The most beautiful racing car ever to turn a wheel.
I totally agree. Prost's F640 exposed at MOMA of New York
Couldn't agree more
That lotus from Jhon player special. also nice car.
Thanks for the great content. Update from May 14th 2022 - The Williams was sold for €4,055,000, the Ferrari €3,605,000
I had a feeling the senna connection would bring a good price 👍🏻
And the weirdest is the Williams without a engine and the Ferrari with a engine
Incredible, the Williams hasn't got neither engine nor gearbox. It also has wrong nosecone and front wing that were not used in the 1991 British GP (it's the start of the season version nose).🤔
Does this William belongs to Vettel?
It's undoubtedly one of the best times in F1, where everything was still pure and without any kind of complementary technology... Those were other times, and those V8's are absolutely fantastic!
So true! Didn’t they sound epic 😩
My fondest memory is a mtl gp.. foca pass. 8am. A feriz mechanic skirts gas in Gilles villeneuves 12 banger. The earth shook. 300 ft away. I smiled he waved me closer. What a wake up.
Ferrari v12
Renault v10
Both cars had semi auto gearboxes?
@@KiddinaSweetShop My goodness J , that was the only thing missing . I love your enthusiasm , and genuine respect for the designers , the cars and indeed in this case , the driver . The camera-work is absolutely flawless . The nose on the Ferrari 640 is absolutely perfect to me . Perhaps the most iconic ? Ok , plus the Lotus 72 & 79 , oh , and must include a Dan Gurney AAR Eagle of '67............However , the finishing touch would be a little low-rev rumble and growl , then a blip of a howl ! I do appreciate the sheer logistics and costs on putting on such a demonstration . Thank you so much for doing these fine videos . Love'n peace . Pete . edit Sorry . How could I forget the 156 F1 of 1961 . The 'sharknose' ! Jaws , eat your heart out !
Mansell red 5 was my F1 hero, so pleased he became World Champion after all the near misses. An era of true legends Senna, Piquet, Prost et al .
👏🏼 I second that xx
And better than now!
Like many people, this was formula 1 for me. I wish the current F1 was as exciting and glamorous. Seeing these cars at Monaco was the thrill of a lifetime.
Its not the same these days is it
From the drawing board of THEE most innovative F1 car designer - John Barnard. He introduced the first carbon monocoque, coke bottle-shaped chassis & packaging and the semi-automatic gearbox. This is one of the finest looking F1 cars ever produced 👌
Just amazing! I totally agree xx
Well, if truth be known, the first carbon monocoque was actually a Lotus but McLaren has become the myth.
@@ivanjulian2532 👍
I agree the 640 is a beautiful car as were the 641,642 and finally the 643 in that series John also designed.
I was there when senna got picked up and I was seen on tv standing on the corner wall with my camera over my face. I still remember it very well. Best F1 memories I have ever had in my life. Leighton house was my works sponsor along with Cobra car alarms as we was the uk installers.
How incredible!! F1 brings such joy xx
Fantastic! That era of F1 car was just the best, both in looks and sound! What I'd give to have one in my house as a piece of art!
Completely agree! Mind bending xx
"Our Nige"
The heart break and the joy. The respect and the bumps ( show us where ...Murray Walker points it out with some discomfort). I know many will harken to Ayrton Senna, but I at the time disliked Prost, Piquet and Senna as they at times were very unsporting, but our Nige, may have moaned, but he drove with respect for others.
These two cars are a special to me as any other in F1 history as I woke up or stayed awake till silly hours to watch him, even when he went to Indy Car (and Won).
He is my F1 Champion that could of been multiple if not for this or that. I still admire other WC but Nige was something many of us connected with.
Absolutely,, any rival of Nigels was a sworn enemy to me back then,,,, Nigel could quite easily have been a triple wc,, people seem to over look the fact that he raced 3 of the greatest of all time week in week out,, and did beat them fairly and squarely!! Hungry 89 was and still in my opinion one of the best drives ever,, and to pass probably the goat for the lead whilst driving probably a slightly inferior car just adds to province of the ferrari not that it needs any,, I wish I had a few quid 🤣✌️
Totally agree! Can’t wait for him to join me in Part 2 🥰 xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop IL Lione! and the Birmingham Superprix ..happy times
Yes, very fair driver, greetings from Brazil
I went to the opening of Nigel's museum in Jersey when these cars (and more) were on show there. It was an incredible experience seeing him standing next to them while giving us a tour. Definitely a pinch yourself moment!
Epic! So special to be in their presence xx
Takes me back to so many good memories. Making sure Sunday Lunch was cooked and eaten so My father, brothers and I could sit down and watch the GP. Especially the 1991 British GP with "Red 5" and Nigel in winning form. Thank you Jodie
👏🏼 epic! Glad you enjoyed xx
I have an amazing photo of Mansell in THAT car as he was entering the pits at Silverstone. The sound was spine-tingling. Thanks Jodie for creating an awesome reminiscence!!
Ohhh nice!!!
Jodie, your enthusiasm is boundless, and highly appreciated by your fans! The patina on the tyres is an amazing touch.
That’s very kind of you Simon!! Xx
was at club in 1991 for the GP.. what a race and moment to see in person.. major F1 historic moment. watching back once in a while brings back all the emotions...
Oh Jodie..... I was stood on the embankment at Club Corner with my dad who is sadly no longer with us when Nigel stopped right in front of us & picked Aryton up..... just got goose bumps.......!
Hey 👋
Ahhh when F1 was F1
The best times, best drivers, best races. And BEST CARS!!
Thanks for filming this
Golden era!! Glad you enjoyed xx
I remember the sound of those Ferrari V12's, spine tingling. When club corner was just for the masses, the noise of these things revving on the grid for the start and then howling down hangar straight towards you is something I'll never forget. Love your infectious enthusiasm!
Happy to say that I was there, a lot, in the late 80’s all the way through to around 2010. These cars are the best that F1 ever had
Awesome 👏🏼 you’re so right!! Xx
The cacophony and energy was pure sex.
Growing up as a teenager in the 1970’s , most of my sporting hero’s were from the same era . Loved the competition between Niki Lauda and James Hunt ( yes, I love Rush!) , but my favourite time for F1 was late 1980’s/early 1990’s , where any one of 4 drivers could have one the title . Possibly, the most highly competitive time to date. To me Ayrton is undoubtedly the GOAT , without any question ( cried when he died) , but our Nigel was certainly a most brave and determined driver. Gave. British fans a lot of happy memories.
Awesome! That’s got be the golden era of motorsport right??! Xx
I think a good barometer of the level of talent from the 80s and 90s is that drivers of the calibre of Gerhard Berger ,, who won 12 or 13 GPs,, was eating the crumbs of the top table,, that Mansell Prost Senna and Piquet accidentally dropped!
Nigel in that Ferrari at Hungary was truly one of the most amazing, dominant wins of the era. The sound of the V12 was epic.
I´m Brazilian and i saw Mansell win here in Jacarepaguá with that Ferrari. It gave me chills. It´s like get inside a time machine and travel to that moment
That's fantastic. You are so lucky. Wish I could've been there.
Nigel was my hero growing up watching f1, and that williams is the iconic car for me! Theres just something special about that Era that doesn't exist now, not that that's a bad thing, we was lucky enough to witness it, but modern F1 doesn't have the feel of proper excitement you used to get when Senna and Mansell were battling it out. True heros of the sport!
Also a big Nigel fan. Lucky enough to bump into him at the 1993 Adelaide GP. On the Thursday night at his hotel lobby. Purely by chance, no minders, no security. And he was so friendly and chatty. Like him and these cars, very special time. Once again on point Jodie. Well Done
Oh wow! Nice. Thanks for the support xx
This is my era, people used to rush in to my office on a Monday morning to discuss the race, I was obsessed, not now sadly. Had a little cry when you showed The Senna pic. Thanks!
Aaah special times!
it's nice to see such enthusiasm from someone like me who appreciates the history of these cars Nigel was always my hero and on my bucket list is to sit in a Nigel car, probably never happen, but I can dream.
That would be rather special! Xx
Such iconic cars. Remember the days of watching these beasts roar around the tracks with absolute legends behind the wheel.
Unforgettable xx
14:05 There is a picture that is a iconic as the one with Senna sitting on Mansell's car. It is the picture with Senna and Mansell going wheel to wheel the whole straight in the 1991 Spanish GP.
I had the awesome privilege of meeting Nigel, Mario and Paul Newman at Road America. I can die a happy man now.
Amazing xx
I don’t know how Nigel could part with the Ferrari. 2 iconic race cars. I’d hang them on my wall like an artwork. This is bang on my interest starting in to F1. Watching with my dad. Early and mid 80s was an epic time. The V10s sounded incredible.
Smashed it out of the park with this one , Spent a day with Ayrton tyre testing mid week at Silverstone must have been early 90's, He will forever be the BOSS ❤️
Two beautiful looking cars which brings back a lot of happy memories as was a big fan of Nigel back in the late 80's/early 90s. A shame modern F1 cars don't look as good or sound as good as those from that era.
The golden era for sure! Stunning aren’t they xx
"I can almost smell the stale sweat, actually I don't want to know what might be in there as well". Hahaha, Jodie, may I say that your passion for Mansell's courageous driving and for that era of F1, wins you another fan here. I was feeling the same emotion and nostalgia as you were looking round those cars, they were wonderful times. Thank you Nigel for all the fantastic & dramatic racing, thank you Ayrton, and of course thank you Murray. :)
Thank you for watching xx
Something about these cars, they just look so clean and sleek compared to todays F1. I Built a scale model of that Williams - it was (and is) so beautiful. Lovely video; I would be so very tempted to slip into those seats when the cameras were off.
The 640 would be hanging off my wall,,, it wouldn't look out of place in an art gallery!
Great memories of that Williams FW14 as 1991 was the year I really got into F1 watching Nigel & Ayrton battle it out for the title but the standout moment without doubt was Nigel winning the British GP and giving Ayrton a lift after running out of fuel with the crowd going absolutely nuts was very special indeed. Awesome how that Ferrari is still in complete race spec, tyres showing full race battle scars and that beast of a V12 engine still in it. Another great video Jodie, keep them coming.
Golden era for sure 👏🏼 thanks as always Vinnie! Xx
I was at Silverstone and part of the track invasion when Nigel bought that Red 5 Williams home, and picked up Ayrton on the in lap. One of the most memorable days of my life, still to this day. Incredible atmosphere. Amazing to see the car again. Wish I could buy it!!! .
I was there too- a fantastic day!
Front page of the app...Jodie in a YUGO!
😅😂
About 15 seconds late on this “reaction” to suddenly noticing two legendary F1 cars! 😜 C- on the acting. A+ on the content. 😉
To me these cars just look way better than the current F1 cars.
Exactly. Current cars are like 2 meters longer and sound like lawnmowers :(
Agreed!!
Your passion for racing is so addictive. I’m the guy just chomping at the bit waiting for the release of your next video.
Thank you so much for sharing your true passion…simply amazing videos!
Haha won’t be too long now! Thank you Charles, appreciate the support xx
Wow, just wow. 15 minutes in and my eyes were welling up. Such emotional motorsport history from the eighties and nineties. Why isn't Nigel 'Sir Nigel'?
Interesting to know these were Nigels cars too. Thanks Jodie xx
Good point! Xx
Seriously, Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna made 90s F1 awesome to watch (Prost had his moments too).
"He says he has something incredible to look at..."
and the man delivers... first time for everything...
Bravo mate!!!
great video.. love the genuine enthusiasm, insightful questions.
One of my favourite Ferrari F1 cars, the lack of advertisements and simplicity of aero has aged like a fine red wine. I am a Tifosi my Dad was and I have been watching Ferrari racing in F1 since 1978 ish. Love your channel and content. You have "liked" many comments thats a lovely thing. As your channel grows I understand that will become unmanageable but thank you for reading the ones you have. Great work love your enthusiasm and passion for cars we all share.
Two scintillating F1 cars, another epic episode many thanks Jodie!
Both incredibly special. So glad you enjoyed!! Xx
This was such a great design era. Some engineers were still using drafting paper and blueprints, some were using computers, some were using napkins. The cars were still mechanical-looking, light, fast, and dangerous. the aero wasn't sorted out with CFD. The theories were hard to verify cause you cant see air.
I wasn't expecting to find this so emotional...
Forgotten memories flooding back into my head there....
Thank you Jodie...xx
😊😊 that’s so nice to hear Mark xx
That Williams would probably of brought me to tears if I sat in the same spot that Senna sat. Senna is my hero and Jodie is a Very Very lucky women!!!
Indeed!! So special Gari xx
Those 2 cars are pure representation of F1 history, a car that had one of the most iconic seasons in history and the car that was part of iconic moment in F1... That auction better bring big bucks else I'm going nuts :))
Brilliant! I remember watching that race where Mansell picked Senna up, brought back some good memories.
What an amazing machine that Ferrari of 89 was, i used to have a tape in the 90s with the sound of it... the V12 ferrari sound recorded in one F1 grand prix
i am not sure if it was 89 or 90, but it was pretty much the same engine varient in terms of sound
The car is so ridiculously beatifull, that stricking marlboro red in thast chassi design makes it stunning...
one oi the most beatifull F1 cars ever made!
Yet another wonderful video Jodie! The cinematography and the editing are wonderful. But they pale in comparison to the choreography of the way you both share the stories behind the cars’ histories and the way you bring them to life.
In every video you present us with a new and slightly different style of auto journalism - of story telling. Every video is so fresh and engaging! You’re really onto something very exciting.
Keep up the adventure; keep being yourself; and keep on letting your approach to each video be as unique as are the people and the cars you interact with!
Really appreciate your kind comment David! So pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the channel - lots more to come xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop Jodie - I’m looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for the App. Once again, you’re on the cutting edge.
Iconic is an Oft’ over used word these days but in this instance it’s wholly applicable and for me the Williams takes the lead simply for that historic moment of true sportsmanship.
Thank you so much Jodie and thank you for creating the App, I’m really looking forward to it!
That’s really good to hear!! Totally iconic 🙌🏼 xx
Oh my! Two cars from an era when i went to Grand Prix regularly with my Dad. And I remember clearly as Jonathan explained about everyone thinking the gearbox on the Ferrari wouldn't last and Nige went and won the race. Phenomenal! Thank you Jodie, this brought back so many wonderful memories.
Incredible right? So glad you enjoyed the episode xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop and forgot to add, I think Ayrton stopped at Club Corner, right in front of where we used to watch the GP, and from where Nigel picked him up and gave him a lift! Oh, the memories are flooding back! Definitely my favourite episode of yours so far, this one was special. Keep them coming, thx Jodie! 🙂
These are not just cars they are icons! I have been watching F1 since I was a kid in the late 1970s but this was my favorite era of F1. Senna, Prost, Mansell and Piquet now all racing gods! Thank you for letting us see these mechanical legends!
They certainly are! Glad you enjoyed the episode - incredible cars xx
John Barnard made such amazing race cars that when standing still are just beautiful works of art
👏🏼
Where do you even start trying to put a value on those? Two of the most iconic cars from the pinnacle of Formula One, and completely unrestored and unmolested. It will, as you say, be very interesting to see what they sell for! But as with the McLaren F1 episode, the numbers are just incidental. The main thing is that these pieces of history will live on and be appreciated by all racing fans for years to come.
Thanks for another cracking episode Jodie!
Great video. I saw that Ferrari race at Silverstone in ‘89. Was my first Grand Prix, my Uncle had taken me there for my birthday. Great memories. Will always remember the sound, tv doesn’t do it justice. They were deafening.
I then saw Nigel and red 5 race in ‘92 and win the race. I was part of the track invasion when he won. I was stood on the track as Schumacher passed me in the yellow Benetton and waved at me, I could have reached out and touched him I was that close. Still cars were going round and racing. It just wouldn’t happen the same today. Just the best memories.
Nigel, MY Idol when young. I was watching F1 from 85 or so and being in Spain wasn't easy to be a Nigel Mansell fan. Everyone was a McLaren fanboy for Prost or Senna but I KNEW Nigel was faster than them. His speed wasn't unmatched by those two. NIGEL was THE BEST.
He is a LEGEND. I'd love to have media pass to shoot those lovely cars or anything else FOS brings in a couple weeks, this is THE event I need to join
Wow, crazy to see the DIGITAL Equipment sticker on the nose of the red Ferrari. Digital was one of the first and finest computer companies. They built large mainframe machines in central Massachusetts. I had many friends that worked there. They were the largest employer in Massachusetts in the 80's. Unfortunately they didn't see how fast the personal computer was growing and was left behind . Exciting to see they were involved in F1!
Only 3 things stopping me from buying the Williams (I remember Nigel stopping to pick up Senna), not the smartest use of my money, I live in California currently (may return to the UK at some point) and I am sure my wife would not be happy with this in the living room. Thank you Jodie for producing awesome content, you can really tell your passion is genuine.
Haha what an awesome loving room feature that would be!! Thanks 😊
I was at Silverstone, had my little boy with me which lit a flame. He will have his partner and children in Hungary again this year for the race. F1 magic as the beat goes on. Nigel (and his wife) were British legends.
love F1, me and me best mate, actually went to support our Nige, at the 88 and 89 Silverstone GPs in our late teens, I may still have the Ferrari T-shirt somewhere, great memories, and great week ends camping, watching the Quali's, then the Sunday race, and who can forget Senna the hitchhiker, off to the shops, to buy some extra Euro Lottery tickets for Tuesday, would love either Car, Great video.
Oh that’s amazing 👏🏼 such exciting times xx
The real deal - fantastic work.
A true high-water mark era for design. Timeless.
This vlog brought me back to a magical moment in time. Thanks Jodie.
Aaah that’s lovely to hear, thanks Brendan xx
Seeing these two icons brings back memory's of sitting with my Dad watching them race and following Nigel Mansell through his F1 career. Will be interesting to follow them through the auction process. Cracking video as always Jodie.
Ahh lovely! Thanks xx
80s & 90s were phenomenal era's of F1.... the cars are so clean looking and so much more beautiful than recent F1 cars. Great work J-Kidd 😎
So true 🤩 thanks Carlos xx
2 absolutely stunning cars
1980s and 1990s produced some of the most stunning cars of all time
👏🏼 spot on xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop your content is fantastic Jodie I love to see a beautiful woman talking about beautiful cars
Wow! Two of the best looking F1 cars of all time. How simple and clean that Ferrari looks. That is the one with the updated air intake above the driver, it didn't look like that when he won the first race in Brazil but in my opinion it looked much better following this update 👍 what can you say about the Red 5 Senna taxi! Iconic, legendary, memorable...battling with the Red/White McLaren cars. Great memories and as mentioned there, played out to the soundtrack of Murray Walker & James Hun
It was a very special era and I was very lucky to have been born in the 70’s and grew up with F1. GREAT TIMES NEVER FORGOTTEN.
The saddest part of the video is not hearing the roar from these icons of history.
Maybe next time 🥲
Such a great video and incredible history. Also very fitting because of what happened this weekend 28 years ago. Best video yet Jodie, thank you for sharing. Also can’t wait for the app!
Absolutely. Good to hear Andy! Xx
How amazing that the Ferrari is as it was when it last raced… Nigel Mansell is such a legend,, I hope he gets the best price for both…. Auction video would be amazing Jodie. App sounds fab by the way…
Incredible isn’t it 👏🏼 thanks Mark! Xx
Mansell, Hunt , Murray Walker.V12 .. F1 magic. Its never been the same since. Saw 3 races that season with Red 5 in 1991. Lion !
Impressive cars. Thanks for the comments on them. Adrian Newey/Patrick Head, and John Barnard/Steve Nichols, showing their capabilities.
Just incredible! Someone buy the Ferrari and use it for historic events. Just incredible cars!
Great cars I happened to meet Nigel at the end of the 92 Indy on the Gold Coast as I was working as a pit Marshall
The early Ferrari 640 is the most beautiful F1 car in history. This one is slightly revised with raised air intake above the driver's head.
I think this version is the most beautiful
The car at Rio was a slightly earlier configuration with a roll-hoop and different air intake.
Awesome contact as always , blast from the past , great days 🙏🏻
Thank you Steve!
The 639 was the 1st car to run that gearbox. Test mule to what became this car. The lotus 88 was the 1st manufacture to run the carbon chassis (2nd was mclaren), just incase of confusion.
App sounds great but you need to come and check out some Aussie V8's and other toys for me to have any chance of being involved. Maybe try Perkins Engineering for some amazing Aussie race cars. I'm sure Jack would love to chat and show off some of Larry's toys to a wider audience.
Long way from home 🥲 but will see what I can do xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop look forward to it..... 👍 along with any upcoming videos. Have loved the journey so far and can't wait for the next one.
Wonderful to see these beauties. Nigel has been fortunate to keep these and I hope whoever gets them does getting them both back on track, maybe with their rightful driver behind the wheel. Thank you so much for sharing these with us.
Wow! Two great icons up for grabs at one time. . . and from the era when F1 drivers learned to drive in cars, not simulators. Both cars have such unique histories.
You know, I think I will bid on these, except that the lyrics from "Fiddler on the Roof" ring oh too true in my life -
"If I were a rich man
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum. . . "
Another great video, and it sounds like some exciting/fun stuff coming up with your channel.
😂😂 thank you Edwin! Lots more to come. Agree - the golden era 🏆 xx
Jodie you put a tear in my eye after watching yours and remembering my memories of this beautiful and amazing era of F1
....WTF. Amazing. The soundtrack on that Ferrari is LEGEND
It’s the one isn’t it 👏🏼 xx
To be able to be around two iconic Grand Prix cars and to discuss information about each of them. WOW!
Super special right!!??
First Zac and now this....you're knocking it out of the park so far you can no longer see the park with your vintage F1 content Jodie. Many thanks for the upload.
Haha thank you so much John!! Xx
One of Berger's 640's is still running at Ferrari Course Clienti and other events such as annual "Minardi Day" in Imola.
Epic
Super video 📹, as ever Jodie..just a joy to watch and listen to.!. So glad I was at Silverstone in 90 and 91...an incredible atmosphere and great memories ❤. I've met Nigel at the Festival of Speed and he's a down to earth and easy person to talk to. Thanks for showing these fab cars!! Cheers, Steve
He is indeed! Nigel will be coming onto the channel at some point soon. Thanks for the support xx
The Williams is fitted with the early season nose, which is slightly shorter and a bit more stubby. I think they only did the first 3 races with it and changed it at Monaco
As a 50 year old man this was my era and I was and am a Nigel Mansell fan. People watching F1 these days will never know the angst of this era never knowing if the engine / transmission / suspension would last the race. I prefer the look and purity of the FW11B. #red5
So true! Golden era for sure 🙌🏼
Love the video, two of my five favourite race cars of all time, thank you for sharing - how about the rofgo collection for next time?
The semi-automatic gearbox fitted in the car has been invented by the genius of Mauro Forghieri 10 years earlier than its debut in racing. In 1979 Villeneuve tested the F1 car with this solution, did a hundred laps in Fiorano and the gearox worked fine. Was faster than the manual gearbox and reliable, despite it was a prototype. But Giles decided to talk to Enzo Ferrari and said to him that he would prefer to drive with the manual gearbox. For this reason the project was put aside, until Barnard resurrected it.
Villeneuve decided to don't use it, because the prototype that he tested had lot of electric cables going over the steering wheel and, according to Forghieri, that scared him, not realizing that in the final version those cables would have been covered and moved away from the steering wheel. Don't know if Barnard ever told the full story :)
Really hope they stay in the UK to a private collector who keeps them on show
Saw these at his museum in Jersey, was sad when he decided to close it.
I was there at Silverstone that day and witnessed one of the most amazing moments not only in the history of British Grand Prix but in the history of formula one racing as Nigel Mansell stopped and picked up Ayrton Senna right before my very eyes……..
The fw14 is without doubt in my mind the most beautiful f1 car in history. It’s just on another level.
Your passion for racing and F1 is amazing to see and it really makes the videos exciting
😁 thanks Luke! Xx
You just sitting where Senna sat on the Williams gave me goosebumps thru the TV. What a moment.
A moment I’ll never forget!! Xx
