Leaving it rusty isn't insuring it a long life . I hope the rusty is sexy fad ends soon . Save a hot rod put it in hot rod primer . IMHO. Not my car. Have a great day 😀

I love symphonic music. I hate it when it gets so poorly integrated in a vid.

Absolutely loved the show and your techs. You and Janice did a marvelous job getting great people to work for you. I'll be following the Guild now! Just one question I need to ask- Did the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder replica ever get totally done? I can find nothing on line or on my extensive TV searches to find anything about it, except the last time I found a thread. That was when Talon made the exhaust manifold in season 7.

Great story. Incredibly annoying music.

Great history! I love this type of story

Great video about a great car! But is the editor deaf? Sometimes you cannot hear the presenter speaking!

Remove the music

I recently purchased a 1962 Mercury Comet 4 door and am wondering if you have ever worked on one and/or had a show on it. I haven't been able to find any videos on it. I guess it probably takes a back seat to the fast expensive cars but I love it. Thanks, Geoff

I've always loved the Falcon styling: real clean. Well, guess who was responsible for it's styling.

The fake film jitter filter is annoying

Turn your background music off or lower it, I am trying to listen to you.

That looks as nice under as does on top, nice clean shop is always impressive

Will you be following up this build with videos?

Damn! What an awesome story …!

I really enjoy you episodes. Your work incredible, thank you for sharing these fantastic cars snd fascinating stories.

I think it was a blessing in disguise not doing well at Pebble!👌💪🙏

What a piece of junk! I got two of those in the backyard the kids crawl through and play on as their jungle gym. 😜 Gorgeous! Top effort!

Thank you for this great bit of obscure automotive history. I had a book that had many photos of these post war Alfas by Pininfarina but they don't seem to get much coverage. The first 300 SL racers didn't have the airfoil shaped blisters on them and were added by the time they went into production. This car may have been an influence. I also wondered about the scarcity of aluminum after the war and never heard of the drop tank theory. Very interesting idea. Also, never seen the Loewy/Koto photos or heard that story before. Loewy had several plaster concept models made that certainly could have been inspired by this car's smooth form. Loewy be a French immigrant may have seen it at the Salon. It also reminds me of the Kurtis - Muntz cars. Fun to research this era of automotive design.

I think you should Invite Mike Hall (Rust Bros Restorations) to see what a clean organized shop looks like. 😂❤

Nice looking... now, replace that automatic with a nice 6spd manual. Perfect.

It is astounding that someone who has spent years around Italian cars cannot pronounce the Italian "C". Sadly, it renders the video unwatchable. In particular, fre-KEY-ador-oh??? NO FRE-chi-ah DOH-roe.

Dave you are a wealth of information. You have obviously dedicated your entire life into what you do. You are such an interesting guy. Do you ever do meet and greet type of things. The work you and your team have put out is second to to none and to think that you are so close by is just amazing to me. When you see specimens you automatically think that they are done in these world class places in California or whatnot but to think it's from somewhere local just makes it all that much better. Sorry I just got to check it out I downloaded it as I wasn't able to check it out at that point. I'm definitely happy I didn't just skip over it. Finally Larry is he still around or is it something you can't speak on and if that's the case I totally understand. Anyway ty for another successful video in the books 👍🇨🇦🔧

What a great story,well done!

What do I think of it? Well, it's pretty clean underneath. Couldn't see much more of it. 🤔

Interesting story! I'm curious though, why would a car built for a Parisian be right-hand-drive?

The music is a distraction.

There were car races in Europe before! 😉 but still cool video 👍

I can see why it created quite a stir when it was first seen. A wonderful piece of automotive history.

A hell of a story and a hell of a journey. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

David, the histories of many old cars are much of the charm. Thanks for dusting off the AR- it was a beautiful car when it was designed and it still is today. Having worked on some early 50's Italian metal, I found their welding, even on steels, pretty uneven. How is the AM project shaping up?

Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires

Brilliant ! Still love the Bugatti though. 😉

I had the same reaction. Then I started thinking about what pre-war cars looked like. It is a kind of showcase for modern features, but the proportions aren't quite right yet. So many 1950s elements are found in that car.

What an amazing story. Automotive history has to be remembered. Thanks for keeping these stories alive.

Engine, transmission, Differential? What were original and what used? Even front and rear suspension. Subscribed.

If there wasn't that Car,there would not have been any Austin A40's,A50 and A60's,Morris Oxfords etc. either 😁😁

Great story ! Thanks.

I enjoyed the story !

Fascinating story!

Initially it struck my eye as ugly. But when I took a few minutes to study the lines it’s kind of charming.

David, you are a real gem! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful!

Something I've learned over the years, is that dealership mechanics ONLY know the current models. Most often, they only stay a few years, and some of them start their own independent shop later. Saying Aston Martin couldn't fix your car is inaccurate, it's that the local mechanics didn't know what to do with it, and didn't want to do late night conference calls with the UK. The gearbox is Tremec to begin with, so it should be somewhat reliable mechanically. Aston Martin Works in the UK charges something like 40,000GBP for the conversion to full manual, and I believe there's a shop in the US that can do the same for you (for more $$). Another great source is Bamford Rose in the UK. I seem to remember they have an upgrade kit to use the "stuff" from the Vanquish S as a bolt-on fix for the non-S Vanquish, essentially removing most of the known issues of the 1st generation gearbox gizmos. Please don't cut up the car to put a Viper engine in it.

About 45 years ago while traveling in Italy someone pointed out the coupe sedan version of this car to me that was sitting in a garage. Unfortunately, I had no appreciation at the time, but your video reminds me how tastes can change. Thanks.

AWESOME!

Beautiful!! Thanks David✅

Lovely car wish your shop was closer to my end of Lake Ontario at the start of the seaway

I like the history behind these great cars. Thank you.

Beautiful car.

Nice little piece of history, stunning automobile
