The chemistry between you two is flowing and I love the passion you both share. Like yourself, I could spend a week in that hangar just looking at everything. Will is potentially sitting on a fortune but you know he won’t want to part with any of it. Don’t blame him

What I like is the pace; he's there for the prize, the Ferrari, but he takes his time getting to it. Superb content.

This is one of the best barn finds so far. A petrolhead’s dream, Will you are a gent for letting us see your beautiful collection 👍👍

This is one of the most enjoyable videos on KZread. Could listen to the two of you chatting for hours, Will seems like such an interesting guy. So many truly incredible cars sat in an old barn/hanger with properly special history. Thank you for for sharing this!

Lancia and Aston Martin Cars are my all time favourites. Especially Lancia for Sporting Heritage, Innervation and engineering.

That door handle looked ultra modern. Lovely car.

Probably my favourite as the owner is an absolute gem of a man.

The best barn find video ever!!

What an amazing collection of cars, I hope Will has a team of mechanics to help him get all those finished, seems like a life times work to get those all done by just one man, I hope he succeeds, that Vignale Ferrari is just beautiful. One thing is certain, in another 30-50 years there won't be blokes talking about barn finds such as a Toyota Prius or Nissan Leaf, we've seen the best of the motoring years I feel, it's all down hill from now.

It's a lovely thing, but it isn't a Ferrari. It's an aftermarket body that was put onto a Ferrari chassis by people other than the factory. It had no real known race history with the vignale body and now contains nothing at all from the real car. All that said I'm very happy It's been saved and is going to be fitted out with a copy of its original chassis and a proper Colombo V12, just so long as no one tries to pass it off as the real deal

Lovely collection, and what a lovely chap. Well done Sir.

How amazing to have a car so unique and rare it’s documented.

Thank you so much for the excitement of discovering unusual vehicles, and taking the time to discuss several of them. It’s a pleasure to watch and learn about marques I know little or nothing of. This barn seems to be full of the most individual and unique creatures. I’d love to have a bigger collection of cars with more diversity. Very grateful for everyone’s desire to share this passion.

Absolutely 'Flippin' amazing. Thanks Jonny.

Another excellent vid, Jonny, and what a find. Love stuff like this, with a passionate owner and a story for every car. And what a great eclectic collection it is 😀

Met a guy in Cali at a winery, had a bunch of Porsche like this, even a speedster, all needed major work but impressive to look at, same thing, all just rotting away in a barn but some cars are so far gone they are not really restored, just replaced with a small bit to to get a VIN. Another great video and it's hard to imagine all the stuff out there in barns. Bought a pre-war skip tooth on a trip to Kansas once, was a kids grandmas bike, have a vette in the garage too, sold the bike to a museum that had WWII planes so felt proud. Keep hunting!

Brings back memories , my dad restored Berkeleys many happy days going to motor shows inches of the ground. He managed to convert a damaged one to mini power, completely bonkers. We took one to the Brighton classic car show and due to the long wait to get out the exhibition centre on the second floor. We wheeled the three wheeler into the goods lift and lifted the back up to fit it in and beat the queue. Those SE492's were pretty rare back when I were a lad what a find.

Great episode. I used to search for and provide parts for these early Ferraris and the history/mystique of these cars really draws you in. Jonny , you should make it out to Villa D'Este , Amelia Island , Pebble Beach etc... and see some of these cars after a full restoration.

Just to expand on the racing Ferrari right hand drive point and Jonny's comment re Italian driving; Italy drove on the left in the early years and Lancia continued to make its cars in right hand drive for the Italian market right up until the early 1950's.

In addition to what Will said in the video, italian race cars continued to be RHD for a while because the clockwise oval tracks (right turns only) had no real pit area that was physically separated from the track by a barrier: cars would keep to the right on one of the straights, and with RHD cars drivers could get in and out of the car away from traffic rather than towards the speeding cars

Not to be fatalistic, but one of my favorite parts is the impermanence of this incredible automotive history. When this lovely man passes sadly, so too may a wealth of knowledge and long held memories. I hope more like him share their experience and learned histories, to pass the torch onward, as these incredible machines become more and more rare/decayed. This is a lesson in appreciating and sharing what we have while we can enjoy that. While vital info to the projects can be shared if pertinent folks care, please do! People care! Enjoy what you can on this Earth and realize that artifacts are all around us with the right context, junk is treasure to some and treasure is junk to others. It’s about perspective. Thank you for sharing this dream “barn find”! I wish the best to your channel’s success and to that of this esteemed collection.
