Inside Ferrari’s ULTIMATE Restoration Workshop
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In a quiet corner of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, a small, dedicated team document the past and offers classics a future. This is Ferrari’s Classiche department - and it’s where the world’s most expensive cars come when they need a spruce up.
But it’s only a relatively recent development, as under founder Enzo, Ferrari was a race team first, always focused on what’s next, not what’s past.
It was only in 2004 that CEO Jean Todt spotted the value in the back catalogue and realised that if others were restoring and rebuilding Ferraris, the firm itself should have a stake in that. The Classiche (that second one is a hard C) unit got going two years later.
Two decades on, we’ve been for a poke around, to see just how diverse and adept Classiche has become. Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, is your guide…

what you're witnessing is how an an introvert and extravert interact, but moreso your complaint is about an extravert who is already hyped up and "in their zone", interacting with people. they thrive on energy, they often want to be or think they are the focus of attention, and therefor they often talk at the same time as someone else because in their moment they are just as important. refined social awareness skills would calm that down a little, but its hard for extraverts to do so given the nature of their persona. the other guy is definitely an introvert so he is more 'taking it in turns' to speak, speaking when it is necessary for him to do so, and nothing more.
let the manager talk man, so rude interrupting
I wish the host would let the interviewee talk and not keep interrupting him.
would be cool if the host would not chime in every 2 seconds

Finally TG content that isn't just a video brochure of some dull new electric car
It's easy to be critical.. but gee, if you're going to ask a question It's generally polite to listen to the answer 🙄
Top Gear’s online content outshines what the telly show became over the last few years, with the exception of Harris. It would be great to have him featured on TG’s KZread channel.
12:15 is hilarious (watch their hands). "Don't touch the books! Don't you see I'm wearing gloves"

This has to be the most professional workshop in the world, everything is so tidy up, from the tools, the furniture, the cars obviously and those archives are just amazing. All in red folders with the logo of the shop, and even the hand writing of the documents is so elegant. Order becomes art.

I was looking for this comment. That was exactly my thought!
I want the table that has all the books on it in the archive. That engine is artwork!
The story of the F1 car in 68’ s/n 0007, built in 67’ and fully updated for the 68’ season, after a bit of googling I found lots of information/pictures of that car. Both with and without the wing, it’s stats for the season, the Spanish GP was a dnf result for a fuel pump. Ferrari’s historical attention to detail is part of what makes this brand so special and their story so amazing. Thank You for sharing this, very cool.👍💯
my god I would love to see the original prints, drawings, technical documentations and so on of a bunch of those vehicles
Ferrari as an entire brand and company might just be the undisputed masters of pure swag. I am convinced that any public facing representative could out class anyone else from ANY business in any industry. It may not equate to always being the greatest objectively, but I have no doubt they could convince almost anyone to be torn.
Don't interrupt the respondent. Let him speak
Ferrari is basically a religion at this point. Then again, with that 512, I can understand why
This was the best top gear video I’ve seen for yeeeears. Please more from this workshop!!
Incredible! The records! The workshop everything! Love Ferrari.
This bloke from Top Gear needs to talk less and stop repeating what every other word he hears.
What a terrific video….informative and fascinating 👍🏻 great to see a top notch setup like that looking after the heritage of great machines, so current owners and hopefully generations to come can enjoy those amazing cars. Maybe in 16 years when my Pista hits its 20th birthday and I hit 70 years old, my car may grace the ramps of Ferrari’s classic workshop!

The detail they go to just seems so incredible! Visiting the factory is one thing and visiting this absolute masterpiece of a workshop is just a whole different thing.. The Pista is a timeless creation it would be very weird to see it under the classiche programme so soon
Everything is so amazing about this video. The records keeping is simply incredible.
Fantastic video, the passion is infectious!
Ollie, thanks for sharing this with us! It must have been such an honour to have been hosted there among towering historical and artistic Ferrari artefacts, in the documents and the cars and their parts. A unique living museum. Where would our passion be without Ferrari and other giants of motor racing? An occasion worth rising to.
How boss is that to look up information on a Ferrari on a glass table with a V12 as the table’s legs.
Great footage. And I love hearing the interviewer speak. Just not when he is interrupting.
Great story. More content like this please!

It takes time to edit things, you know. And they have _LOTS_ of videos (and editing) to do. Also, it's called "scheduling". If they immediately edited and uploaded everything ASAP after it was filmed, then if some unforeseen event prevented them from continuing, there would be a gap in their content for however long the hold up lasted. Also, having a reserve of videos allows all the people involved in making this content to take breaks as they need them (flexible schedules for time off) so that they don't get burnt out or forced to chose between work and a serious family/life event. I know it's easy to forget, but don't be so greedy about how quickly and how often you get provided with this free, high quality content. There are real people, each with their own lives on the other side of the screen who need more than just some supportive comments written about their work on the internet in order to survive and lead fulfilling enough lives to be able to keep producing content of this quality.

@@mikesmith7496 I never said it takes 4 months to edit. It just takes a bit of time, but the other reasons I mentioned are more likely the reasons why they don't immediately upload everything. Almost all big channels have an upload schedule set with a backlog of content for the reasons I mentioned in my previous comment. I video edit as well. Again, don't get greedy and whiny about free content you infantile pillocks.

Favorite Ferrari's, F40 & the Enzo
This is why Ferrari is Ferrari and always will be the special brand
Absolute genius 🔥🔥😊
That workshop is a slice of heaven and a slice of hell. Heaven for the beauty, hell for the amount of notes.
You can tell the manager loves his work very much, great vid!
I took so much away from this. Loved the way Mr. Ferrari was so meticulous. I want to be that way as well.
Dream machines, especially the F40
Love they have live plants even in the shop
Beautiful.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why Ferrari will always be numero uno ❤🏁

i'd pay them to work there!
Does anyone know the relationship between the BB Race car and Luigi Chinetti? Was that one of his own cars or a privateers car.
Isn’t the testerossa engine a flat 12 (180* V8) and not a boxer due to how the pistons move?
Ferrari is the most iconic car brand.
08:00 that's a H12 Ferrari engine. Anyone knows what Ferrari model got an H12 in it ?
Andy Modena? Any relation?!
Love it Aston do the same at Newport Pagnall. If you can get one, love one 👋 you can’t go wrong……..ever
So much history...
11:00 wonder what the race results book from 1966 says?
dream field trip
Aside from the interrupting, we could all do - I think - without the elevator-music.
I hope they have a backup of all those physical documents, and then a backup of the backups.
The KTM 690 SMC is an amazing motorcycle. I sold my SMC and when I get the chance to buy it back I did. Best decision I ever made
The monetary value in that garage is incalculable. I saw several cars that are, individually, worth millions of dollars.
Filmed in December! It doesn't take that long to edit so I wonder if that meticulous Ferrari basis had to make sure the approval was air tight!
I am wondering what would happen if the famous and most reliable Ferrari 308 GTBi K24 was brought to this shop 🙌🏻👌🏻
Wow
guys, the subtitles are compeletely out of sync
1:00 It becomes a Classiche after 20 years? I still can't see the F60 Enzo becomes one. I still feels as if it was launched yesterday. My, we really have grown up.
i know understand why some think the 512 is the greatest Ferrari
I love the honor of Enzo 's ghost.
Best TG content for some time, thank you. But.... in line with other comments.... Ollie - without wishing to be rude, please just zip it a bit.
Not Ollie's best day 🤐
My ultimate 100% dream job.
lol that F40 was just massively devalued on a top gear video, I can see why the plate has been blurred among other things.
Subtitles are unsynced.

Incredible view into an amazing workshop. But if I can give some very petty criticism. Don't put a fake film border that is completely incorrect around the photos. Just put up the photo...
