It is owned by Bamford. There are 6 other '64 GTO bodied cars. 3 originals and 4 other S1 GTOs rebodied in period by the factory/Scaglietti. They are saying now that the car crashed is actually a replica.
He may have been talking about the replica based on 330 GT 6713GT which has been painted to look like 4399GT when it had its original S1 GTO body. Shmee made a video of it and thought it was the real deal.
That car will be sent to Ferrari and be rebuilt to exact specifications. They will not let the 250 GTOs just be scrapped. Also despite being in an accident, a GTO with racing pedigree is worth more than one with none.
It gets rebuilt regularly and at least 5 times in the past, This last rebuild was £200k and in Leicestershire not at Ferrari. All parts are either cast or hand made by us. The reason this car is worth £50m is in 1964 Ferrari made Graham Hill paint the nose & tail blue to define it wasn't a works Ferrari didn't like the way he altered and stripped out the car for racing in the 60's. Lord Bamford won it in a card game later off Graham Hill. Good investment Hey! The reason Andy crashed is it is much quicker after it the last engine rebuild.

Well actually it will still hold the same value. Believe it or not. Mr bean totalled his mclaren f1 like 3 times i think and is still worth the same as an un wrecked one. This car is 40mil on any day. Also is owned by the man who started JCB and is a multi billionaire.

The more I see that clip the more I am impressed by how well he controlled the car to not hit other cars and not damage the car to much. If it had gone into the side there it coulda spun back into the track but he kept it in the grass till the curb. Incredible work right there.
AMIN 6969 there will be a metal frame in the wheel for sure, if it was just rubber it would just flex back, it’s because he went into the tyres backwards and was hanging onto the wheel and as the impact pushed him backwards he held onto the wheel and it bent, watch the in car replay and you can see it bend as he hits, the metal is what kept it there once it bent. Years ago my brother lived on a farm and long story short they got a jimny 4x4 scrapper and built a ramp, they went over it and nose dived and it bent the steering wheel around the steering rack, they don’t take much even with metal in, particularly older cars, you can see how relatively easy it is for him to bend it back, in a car that old it won’t be a thick metal ring at all, but I can guarantee it would have a metal ring because especially in a race car you wouldn’t want your connection to the steering to be through a rubber wheel as it would flex and be less responsive and the front wheels could twitch on the track and that twitch wouldn’t be stopped by keeping your hands firm as it would flex, you can see 3 metal arms coming from the centre of the wheel too
It's NOT the original wheel! It's a replacement more suitable for racing. Check any GTO interior ('62-3 or /64) and you'll see the larger diameter Maranello wheel in place.

OK Me to us Americans, anything over 40 years old belongs in a museum :9. Or for the original owner to use as a daily. Please don’t tell me you’re also American because that would be awkward.
Having looked at a couple of pictures, the chassis seems pretty straight, and a lot of the original metal looks to be OK. Shouldn't cost too much to get someone to beat it back into shape and put on some new paint.
he wrecked it last year, but not quite as bad, and caved in the front six months ago, at the members meeting. you have to remember, that their extreme value, spirals, as they add races and positions, to their pedigree. add a garland, add seven figures. don't forget, that the pro driver, is also being paid to drive it too.
Long story short, they should use the car in stunt shows and do some jumping over cars with it. As long as the vin number is saved, its all good and will remain as expensive as ever. Even thought its pretty much a replica kit car by now with an OEM Ferrari vin. No longer the factory product.
Yeah, you'd be very hard pressed to find an original paint Ferrari 250 these days. Most of them are well-documented enough that you have a photographic record of the many paint jobs that they've had over the years. Doesn't stop them being massively valuable cars. The trend in the elite collectible market is that each owner tends to get them fixed up by incredibly skilled shops, usually over a period of years. With Ferrari, you can get a factory certification to say that the thing has been restored to how it was the day it rolled out of the dealership, and that's pretty much as good as having an original car as far as the auction value is concerned. A truly original car would have absolutely astronomical value, but these things are so expensive anyway, it becomes almost meaningless.
I think the owner took that into consideration about once. I bet what you're seeing there isn't the "once original" and has already been repaired and fettled.
Kind of. But ihis particular example is not a 50 mill GTO. I doubt you will see mint condition cars like the Moss car at any track other than doing a parade lap.
Can't really blame any of them. it is very difficult place to play outbraking game, also this was qualification, not a race, so some naturally doesn't go full pace, while others does.
Ouch I was privileged to see Mr Witten race his GTO at SIR he came 6 inches from the wall on the track gave me a heart attack just watching love that they drive them as intended!
Elizabeth Cherry why not race it? It's imposible to total the car will always be worth more than the repair cost. And the damage done on this car wil cost just as much as the same damage on a cheaper car.
I read somewhere on instagram that the particular car that crashed had a replica body, so that it can race with the original underpinnings and take a little abuse without it being to dramatic for the value of the car.
Indeed. You aren't supposed to make moves like that under hard braking for this exact reason; it's far too easy to cause an accident to yourself and/or the car you're passing. That was absolutely the wrong time to make that move, and he paid the price for it. There's going for a gap that isn't there, and then there's being willfully stupid.
You're an idiot. They were racing and he braked when he had to brake. Not Harris' job to prevent others in faster cars from getting in too hot and crashing.
He closed the door when he made it appear he was staying wide. More than likely he didn't see the gto closing, but he was a backmarker that missignaled his intentions. That being said, the prize money is pretty light, so why risk your paycheck on a low percentage pass.

Many people are crying because it’s damaged, but it’s actually extremely happy when a car like this gets damaged doing what it was meant to do. You’d also be surprised as to how there’s many parts accessible for replacement
1:16 steering wheels bends under the force of the impact. It’s sad to see a GTO or any historic crash, main thing is no one got hurt, and the car will be rebuilt and racing again soon
Heartbreaking, but at least it happened while being used like it's meant to be used.

This car looks SO much better than what ferrari produces today...
Beautiful Ferrari! I love that the owners still race these cars. It'll be fixed and back to new for next year!
You commented this well into the year after this happened
@@Formula1st ok?
He was holding on to that steering wheel so hard he bent it on impact!
My little heart cried a little bit...
are theese replicas?
Is this a copy or the real thing, i have heard they race the copy and leave the real deal at home ??
Insurance write-off?
Many people are crying because it’s damaged, but it’s actually extremely happy when a car like this gets damaged doing what it was meant to do.
You’d also be surprised as to how there’s many parts accessible for replacement
That's a tough area on Goodwood to make an overtake at.
Ouch that seriously hurt to watch
Are these cars replicas or vintage originals?
Originals
I didn't know they raced these... crazy
@@mason-sv8eb Absolutely
Search 1 billion dollar race, Goodwood. There's about 12-15 of them at once if I remember correctly.
Why? Why???
1:16 steering wheels bends under the force of the impact. It’s sad to see a GTO or any historic crash, main thing is no one got hurt, and the car will be rebuilt and racing again soon
Mate you commented this a long time after the crash, it’s been repaired and is in good shape
That hurts so much to see such a beautiful 250 crash :'(
It does not hurt
Was it oringinal?
Or a kit car
Original
Well... ish, it's not a replica
il have a look on ebay for a wing, erm nothing on there yet but will keep looking
LOL at him bending the steering wheel back!
the car is happy and i’m sure the owner isn’t but i’m sure he’s happy it happened on the track where the car belongs and not anywhere else
