This channel should have way more subs! There are too many shouty YoutTubers pointing the camera up their nostrils trying to make it all about them. This channel is truly about the cars.
This is fantastic, what a beauties. Only a true expert and collector can explain those differences properly, thanks a lot. This is what a car channels miss, normal talk, calm and mature commentary, not the bs screaming drag races, launches. DK and Harry's garage are the best of the best.
A priceless video in both senses. Incredible to see (nearly) all the variations of this sublime and rare car in concours condition lined up as if they were as common as new Civics at a Honda dealership. Excellent guide, thanks James and the DK team.
What a fabulous informative video. Really enjoyed it . Thanks for the explanations on all the different variants 👍 Now we need a video on a 275 NART Spider 😁
Good day from Norfolk. Wonderfully detailed explanation of the range, very rare to hear such an articulate description with "actual" cars to reinforce the point. Many thanks.
Thoroughly enjoyed that vid, great to see an expert in his field present information in a logical and memorable manner. I sat behind a one of these in traffic a few years ago whilst driving through Abergavenny of all places - I was in my 1970 DBS Vantage and the Ferrari owner gave me a thumbs up, made my day!
Best explanation i have ever heard. Have always been a bit daunted by all the different models of 275. Mind you, it isn't like i'm going to be shopping for one this side of a lottery win. lol
Excellent history of the 275 GTB. My personal choice for the most stylish of the 60's Ferrari's. The lines of the car and the music of that V12 engine are incredible.
Very good differentiation video of the Ferrari 275 series. The GTB/C used an open propshaft apparently to make clutch changes easier in endurance racing. Also the 4 cam 275s used basically a single cam layout, with the timing chains revolving around one gear on each bank from which the chain met with the idler gears of the cams.
Stunning lineup. I've always loved these cars as well. Thank you so much for sharing and explaining the history and differences. I will now pick my jaw up off the floor, thank you very much!
Great video and explanation of the differences between the 275s. Nice also to see the silver 275GTB long nose still displaying the W.H Lowe sticker on the rear window (the then Melbourne (Australia) based importer/distributor)
Fell in love with the 275 GTB/4 when I was just a boy in 1967. My favorite from Road & Track's Buyer's Guide of that year. Still my all-time favorite. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I like them all but the 275 is my all time favourite. If I understood things right the 275 was the base for the Spider NART which for me is the most beautiful and impressing car ever made.
What an excellent run through of these awesome cars. I couldn’t help noticing the W.H.Lowe dealer sticker on the rear window of the 5 275 long nose. They were the original Melbourne dealer. I went to school with a son in the 60’s. The showroom was a tiny building on Whitehorse Road, Balwyn. It’s long gone now. Just around the corner from where I live now. So amazing to see the car featured. I wonder who the original owner was. An ivory 275 lives around the corner now (not sure which model) along with a 250 California SWB.
Once went to buy a lamborghini silhouette was met buy a guy called julian I think looked like cliff richard..checked coat and black ski pants...he said follow me I'm around the corner in a red fiat...it was a 275GTBC...with no bumpers.. Great car thanks Julian (I think)..Great car..Great style.😊
Excellent, but you did not mention the 2 cam long nose (silver) car had the outside laced Borrani wheels. That's unusual and I thought a feature of the 12 competition 2 cam cars. I had a 330GTC and it had a similar chassis (torque tube), a bit more weight and luxury, but had greater torque and a bit less free-revving nature than the 275. A bit less sporting, a bit more touring. I agree though, given an unlimited budget, a 275 is the ultimate classic Ferrari.
Great video, although missing other variants. There's also an alloy bodied 275 GTC (C for Competizione) with 6 carburetors. I would have added photos of the engine bay if there was an option to do so in the comments. I am currently selling a 275 transaxle.
When talking about the 4 cam engine after pointing out the cams, the pictures provided seem to erroneously start showing a 2 cam engine…with color changing cam covers.
Am I the only one who prefers the exhaust note of the standard engine over the 4 cam? The 4 cam just seems to lack the snarling rasp I expect of a '60s Ferrari.
To say Ferrari overrated their horsepower figures, is a bit misleading. Prior to the 1970s, horsepower was calculated at the flywheel with no accessories.
