Join me as I take a trip to Gloucestershire to visit my good friend Mr George Bamford, and take his lovely Ferrari 275 GTB for a spin! What a special day this was! FOLLOW ME: / kiddinasweetshop #JodieKidd #Ferrari275 #KiddinaSweetShop
Not asked to like and subscribe? Not bombarded with sponsors? Beautiful cinematography? A genuine, knowledgeable, and charismatic presenter? Is this RU-vid car video heaven?? Another amazing film!!
So True Jhett, it is old school youtube but with professional production quality and all the better for it. It is so refreshing to see someone live their passion and share it freely with others who have similar passions and that be all the reward they need.
@@KiddinaSweetShop - George is so enthusiastic - and that’s contagious. It’s so refreshing to see a collector who wants to enjoy the capability of his cars, rather than seeing his cars as investment instruments frozen in time in order to hold their value.
@@davidsherley2652 EXACTLY. My parents see their vehicles as economic investments. Hence why they don't want me driving the family truck which I LOVE to drive just so I don't put miles on it.
This is how I wish I could be more with my classics but I always seem to have a need to know I can get somewhere on time and I default to modern reliability too much! But every time I get in a classic I feel I just want to keep driving! It helps that George’s car is pretty well sorted mechanically by the look / sound of it! Most of the time my drives conclude with a new list of things I need to fix 🤣
The 275 is a beautiful car. Love the fact this dude actually drives and enjoys it. So many people squirrel them away, treat them like china cups, and just polish them. massive respect to George, and thanks for showing it to us.
George… what a man. It’s how every classic car should be used. Yes there should be immaculate examples to preserve history but enjoying the machines speaks volumes. And he has a passion for watches/horology which resonates with me. George 🎩 off
Because the value of these cars have reached stratospheric levels it’s great to see that someone like George is using it whenever he can and not just being used as a static show piece ! Great job Jodie. You clearly enjoyed driving that beautiful car! Well just a bit! 😜
I’m an ordinary guy (unfortunately) dream of owning a lovely classic car like this, but actually, I’m really pleased for this guy not jealous, love his passion and attitude. Good for you my friend. Good for you.
Thank you for letting us view this car. The 275 has been my favorite Ferrari since I was a teenager in the 80’s. I love the fact that this car gets driven like it was meant to be.
Might just be the most beautiful car ever made. Definitely my personal favourite. And all credit to the owner for using it, a car like this deserves to be driven
Hey Jodie, Great video, I particularly liked hearing the discussion between you and George about his experience with the car. Wonderful that he seems like a genuine enthusiast. “Making a journey an event”. In the age of ever busier roads and electric cars a lovely nod to the past.
This has got to be one of the best 275 GTB clips I have ever seen. I highly commend George for driving it regularly as it was meant to be driven and not relegated to being a trailer queen. All the senses abound to this nirvana on the road and eye candy wherever it is parked. Don't know what future generations will have to enjoy regarding transport but am thankful to the here and now with gems like this. Absolutely fabulous..
What a dream to get to drive a 275 GTB. That sound, that long bonnet, gorgeous steering wheel.. one of the greatest Ferrari's ever. I have 575M and drive it as often as I can.. this just made me want to drive it more. Love JKs enthusiasm, she's such a great car "guy". 👍
Great video and that is one stunning car it's great to see an old V12 classic getting used every other day and not locked away in a garage .oh and the smile on you're face when you took the week is priceless.👍👍
I'm watching this again as it popped up in my feed after a few months and I find that the conversation between the two of you is every bit as enjoyable as watching you in the car. Really a lovely video. Thanks! 👍👍👏👏
If I have the money and I can only own one car in my life, the long nose 275/GTB will be it. I won't need another - ever. And I will drive it like this guy. Fantastic machine and the most eye catching Ferrari as far as I'm concerned.
Having driven the 4-cam version (before they became unaffordable) it is such a far standout to all other cars I have driven. I agree that this would be the one to keep for me. The hand crafting is fun in its flaws, but the sound is truly beautiful. The steering and gearbox is amazingly tactile. Its an amazing GT car even in today's terms you can comfortably cruise long distance at over 100mph.
Excellent episode Jodie! Your enthusiasm and pure excitement for the cars and people are what has drawn me into your channel. Today’s video with George and his 275 GTB is the best yet! The cars draw us in, the people make us stay. Now if I could just afford one of the many very cool Bamford watches….aspirations are good!
Wonderful to see someone who really drives their beautiful car. George, your passion for this car is wonderful and Jodie's smile lit up the page. Enjoy that car for many more years.
Fabulous! This isn't just a car to him - it's his best friend and he enjoys spending time with it. I'd love to hear what it is that breaks down and has him getting home on the back of trucks as often as he says. 👍❤
Fun video Jodie! I love that the owner wants his car to come alive, has too many miles to count and not be a ‘show pony’. As a classic car owner myself, mine has been in need of a flatbed several times. On the one hand, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the driving enjoyment; but on the other hand, I always find it a stressful experience, even though passers by often offer assistance - it’s hard to get used to.
I enjoyed your ride response enthusiasm. You convey that better than many other Tubers in this genre. I love Doug DeMuro, but he doesn't have the historical context that say Jay Leno has and that is fine but I think your strength is the honest visceral response. To drive an Enzo/Pininfarina...that is a bucket list item.
I've been to that house and been in his garage and seen his amazing car collection.. I went there to collect his R8 GT for a service in Wakefield..took me ages to find it under all of the covers over the cars. Loving this channel Jodie 👍
Stunning Car and I am so pleased to see it being driven and not a plinth in a museum somewhere. Lucky You to get to drive it. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. 😀👍🇨🇦
I have been watching your channel all morning, what a great find, you gotta love a guy who owns a car like this and actually uses it!! I can only imagine how awesome the driving experience is!! Its got quite a nice growl to it as opposed to the screaming F50 V12, both are insanely awesome engines in their own right....
Awesome video! I loved you said "it's a short nose but the bonnet is still long" hehe it's actually a long nose GTB/C or has alot of competitie spec stuff on it alu. body, flaired arches and the unique creases on the fenders. Every 275 GTB is different and this one espcially in this color, it's just to die for! Thanks for sharing this with us👌
You can fix the driving experience of SO many modern cars by switching to a higher profile……. The obsession with ever lower profiles gives such rigidity in the side wall, to not allow any give….. Also, with these ultra low profile tyres, when they reach their limit…. they tend to let go completely….. whereas, you can feel the lean, the give in the tyres…. Another slice of passion 💝
I really admire the people who can afford these incredible cars and who drive them as they were intended regardless of the monetary value. You will take the memories of driving these amazing cars with you when this life ends but the money will stay behind and become meaningless. Thank you so much Jodie, I only recently discovered your channel and am so glad I did! It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Devon and working on and going for drives in my late uncles wonderful collection of vintage Lagonda´s, Rolls Royces and assorted Saab Turbo´s all of which I learned to drive in. Nothing better than a crash gearbox to teach you how to drive! All the best from an Englishman living in Austria! Oh and George´s watches are wonderful!
I'm a big Ferrari fan, this is not my favourite model, but this is one of my fave vids now! I love how the guys uses the car so often and let's you drive. Love your outfit too, btw. More old Ferrari's should be driven!
You know you're poor when someone says that a 275 GTB it's a great all rounder haha. Brilliant video. George is really passionate and uses his classic cars as they should to enjoy and put miles on them.
Being able to afford car like that is one thing, being able to afford to drive it every day is another level! Great to learn about the owner a bit as well! Lovely video.
Just passed my Driving test in 1978 I drove one of these down to DK engineering for restoration on behalf of a friend A memorable journey,as the silver car was running rough.After a full refufbishment to red and tan interior the car looked georgeous.I remember the reg WER 5 .I seem to remember that Eric Stewart of 10cc fame then bought her,,,Cheers John.
Another great episode Jodie! What an excellent 275GTB! Cars are meant to be driven, always better when they are not stuck away in silence. Its nice to know the Bamford family use their cars as intended! Now you need to beg for the keys to his dads 250GTO! :P
What a fantastic car and awesome owner! Always admire collectors that drive cars like this on the roads - respect. I often wonder what happened to our old red 275 GTB short nose that we had in the 80s. The 'parcel shelf' behind the seats had been converted to a seat so my sister and I could sit in the back.
@@KiddinaSweetShop yes I miss that wonderful car so much. We were so lucky to have had one and I’ll always have fond memories. The 330 GT 2+2 and Maserati 3500 Sebrings that followed were not quite the same but at least there were actual seats for us kids 😄. Loving your channel BTW.
I always loved the 275GTB, and this one is so well loved. Half your luck even seeing one in real life, Jodie, much less driving it! Great filming in these videos, too, congrats to your team!
