    I owned a comp. 1960 SWB in the 70's (#1807) and used it for my daily driver in LA. It had an engine out of a 1958 Testarossa!

    Wonderful video. It expresses why I turned in my leased 2017 high tech modern Alfa Giulia sedan and bought a 20 year old 911. Not on the same level as this 250 SWB, but well within the same spirit and fun factor. Modern technology in cars turns us into automotive couch potatoes.

      Josh Nisker The SWB competizione is the best car i’ve driven...period. I have the amazing luck of being able to drive many many cars, but no car has ever transmitted su much and felt so right as the SWB. But the 300SL is a stunning car, beautiful. Did you know there are some very special 300SLs that where restomoded by AMG and Mercedes Benz with a modern engine inside with 400hp, and A/C. Not very engaging when you drive them but they become very very usable, almost a daily driver.

    M8, I was absolutely cracking up with laughter and joy with yu there Sam!!! Sometimes there is too much talk when there is absolutely no need and this clip would be right up there in that regard. Those first few cackles killed me LOL 😂
    Now to the car and in particular that engine and gearbox. Just wow!! 250 SWB always been one of my faves and after watching this I’m wondering how I can make a few mill sos I can get my self down to GTO and order me one pronto..!! I reckon if they ever need to do any marketing they only need ur clip Sam!! Because of yu, thousands more are aching to own this machine. Another thing, I’ve seen recently that they are recreating the Aston DB5 007 editions. Those are going for a kool 5mill or there abouts. To my mind it makes this Fezza look like an absolute bargain. If I had the choice between the two with the 250 a similar price to the Aston, I’d still choose the 250. With it at a fraction of the DB5 sticker, it’s a no brainer! Great work sam and all hale GTO engineering :)))
