Love the fact Tom Jr reviews the singular car, and not the model as a whole. It's history and life. The most interesting car reviewer out there. Not telling us about boot space and how many horsepower it has. Goes against the grain. Keep them coming Tom

My second time of seeing one of these RHD Daytona spider’s. The first being whilst on a Ferrari driving holiday in Scotland & one day we visited a famous Distillery. The family who owned it also collected cars. They brought their RHD Daytona Spider out to greet us. I sat in it’s driving seat. A memorable moment from 1989. Thank-you Tom for re-awakening my moment with one of these wonderful cars!

For crying out load, the plural of spider is spiders. It's is a contraction: it is. Its is possessive.

Thanks for the reminder Tom. I had a '73 converted Daytona Spyder, and you brought back a lot of the memories. Shame you didn't take it to 7,700 rpm. There is no sound like it. Your viewers would have really enjoyed that!.

Thank you for sharing this amazing story,of your love for this Beautiful Car.🇬🇧

Beautiful car. I am not the biggest fan of red interiors but that looks absolutely amazing. The fact that Bonzo owned it makes the CV that much more impressive.

One of my dream cars. Thanks for sharing the video.

The Best of the Magnificent 7 with 15k on the clock...! Sell everything you need to to retain long term ownership of this jewel,Tom. In the future it will be known as the Hartley Daytona Spyder and become priceless.

Way back in the 1980's, at around 14 years of age, I too saw, in fact sat in a certain right hand drive Daytona Spyder. It still belongs to the same friend, who, as you mentioned, owns two of them now. The car made the hairs on my neck stand up, and whenever I get to see it now, it still does the same. For me, I am not able to buy one, but should I ever be in that position, it would be a keeper to the grave. Love the history, the emotion and the memory, one that will always be yours, as my 35 year old memory will never leave me. Great Video. Many Thanks

Excellent as always from Tom. Love that man’s genuine passion and knowledge!

Genuinely love these videos Tom - your knowledge and passion for the cars is always very clear to see. The WhatsApp story also really resonates with me - special cars create very special memories. Best wishes for 2022.

Awesome video. I love Toms knowledge and enthusiasm for this wonderful car.

You loved this specific car from boyhood. Keep it for yourself or you will always regret it. It's clearly written on your face as you drive it how much you adore it.

Wow...what a privilege to hear you speak about these cars; your knowledge and passion is just amazing.

That is absolutely exquisite.

Hi Tom. A superb video, as usual, and brings back a memory that you may be able to confirm. My dad used to race karts in the early 80’s and we used to pass through Bramley on the way to and from the track. Occasionally we used to stop in and have look around the showroom. I remember a Daytona Spider used to be deep inside the place and from memory it was red with black interior, registration X7. My overriding memory as a young lad- I was maybe 9 years old- was that on the transmission tunnel was a small hole in the leather- Probably for a dial or small detail like a badge or something like that and I’ve never forgotten it! High on the wall beside it was a large picture, I believe, of both X5 and X7 in a hay field….. Thank you for buying this car and reigniting this memory! Regards Richard

Tom, you’re a hero for driving it on such a cold day with the top down 🥶, niiiice 👍🏻. I LOVE cars with great stories/history behind them, the John Bonham connection is fantastic, he’s only my favorite drummer of all-times 🥁. What a true Ferrari masterpiece 🙇🏻‍♂️, thank you for the video.

Amazing content, as always. Thanks for sharing you passion!

Absolutely stunning machine!!

Thanks for sharing that fabulous car. I have an acquaintance whose father was a friend of my father's in the late 50s. We lived in the hills in Adelaide, Australia. He was one of the first Ferrari guys in Australia and imported several in his life. He left his son one of the 14 rhd 275GTS cars. Plus a couple of others. It sat on loan in a museum for years. I tried many times to buy the car but unfortunately missed out on it. That's about 8-9 years ago when they were not stupidly expensive. I'm just as happy with my 575M, which is the final iteration of the great line of classic front engined V12 Ferrari's. Sure it's not a manual, but it's superb to drive and almost as cool as a Daytona. IMO. I thoroughly enjoy your presentations and the knowledge you impart. I hope you do keep this special car. The red/black interior is a knockout. I once had a 355 GTS, Argento Nuburgring over a full red interior, which looked stunning.

Another brilliant video Tom, always fabulous entertainment.

I also saw this car on the ramp at Bramley in the early 00s. Amazing car!

Very well done. Enjoyed the exquisitely detailed provenance.

I remember this car from the same showroom - I fell in love it with too - it was sitting next to a silver Maserati Ghibli Spyder when I first saw it. The Maserati is a very rare and special car, but X5 had it all! The last time I heard of it was in the car park, with top down, at one of the Goodwood events, but this is the first time I have actually heard it, so thank you! I remember the finish on the rear deck too!

Phenomenal video, Tom … your passion for these wonderful cars is infectious … I’d love to be in a position to buy one of these magical machines from you one day …

Love it! Keep making more videos!

Great video! To think one of these blasted around South Africa for a time.....

Thank You !!!.Loved it 🍸🇦🇺

A great video of a fantastic car! I clearly remember seeing X5 ‘on the ramp’ numerous times. Approximately 25 years ago it had a price tag hanging from the rear view mirror of £1m. (Unrealistic at the time IMO). Tom, you have to keep this one.

Brilliant and fascinating review. Always been my poster car the daytona growing up watching early miami vice. It was a good year 72 👍🏻

The Miami vice Daytona car was a Corvette underneath, so in fact it was a kit car and not original at all. I believe Ferrari weren’t too happy about what the show was doing to reputation of the Daytona, and therefore with a bit of help from Ferrari, the show changed to an original Ferrari Testarossa instead. The Daytona was never real at all.

Utterly, utterly fabulous

What a fabulous car !

Gorgeous car

I love car stories and this car deserves the attention 👍

I remember seeing that car in the eighties at Bramleys in Guildford the number plate made me remember it, I was told it was an original Daytona Spider, you are a lucky man

Fantastic video. William Loughran near me in Preston has one. (Does he have 2 ?? ) Surely that car has to be a keeper. The rarest of the rare ! And a superb number plate "X5" to go with it. Keep it you will regret selling it ! Keep up the good work. 👍 . Andy.

Lovely car and a great video!

Another educational and informative video

Beautilful car and a special watch on Tom's wrist too. Dont know which I covet more lol.

Those seats are superb. Makes the car.

Red Ferrari Daytona spider, just like in 1976 "The Gumball Rally"! The Best car movie ever made! 😎 #ChrisReaDaytona

Nice to see someone who enjoys the cars and appreciated them as more than just objects….they say if you enjoy your job you’ll never work a day in your life,well Tom is the proof that this is correct

thank you sir!

Just Magnificent

Great vid

"But need to give it a go" !!!! Christmas came early this year! Thanks for the ride, Tom.

Fabulous.

I'm surprised that the late 70s Bonzo would have fit behind that snug wheel; I dare say not easily. That's some provenance. It should be named Moby Dick - a rare sightimg.

Great video Tom. Does William Loughran own one?

I remember seeing this exact car for sale in Duncan Hamiltons showroom in Bagshot shortly after John Bonham passed away. Priced at £XXXXXX it was more expensive than a property l was selling on Wentworth Estate but how l wished I could have bought it back then!

Best salesman ever. Its like lord of the manner selling you a car. How can a guy like this have del boy as a brother ???

Wonder if this one is “going to california” ? LOVE the LedZEP history on this epic Ferrari.

You never Mentioned Sonny Crockett’s Daytona SPYDER 😎

They used replica Daytona's in Miami Vice - but the later Testarossa was real

Beauty

Breathtakingly gorgeous. Does anyone know where chassis 15963 is today?

I also know the car from also seeing it on Display back in the 1980's with a huge asking price for the time and a few other interactions since. I see it still it still has the DMS signature prancing horses on the centre console and boot lid. Have to disagree that the Spyder is better to drive the the Berlinetta though, I actually think they#re equally special.

I saw a right hand drive Daytona at William Loughran's near Preston in the early 90s. This was part of his own collection and I don't know if he still has it. Does anyone know if this was one of the magnificent seven or a GTB/4 conversion?.

There's one local to me with a very interesting number plate

keep it and pass it down to your family.

keep it!

A diamond in the rough...

I don't get it Tom ,the paint on that Ferrari is cracking after so many years how could preserve it's price on the market that way? also another dumb question : if you'll send it to Classiche Ferrari for a paint job would that lower it's price? ps. I don't think England is that cold in winter if you venture driving roofless .

A car is only original once, any car can be restored to perfection with enough time and money but you can't recreate originality. Tom

wow....

Top drawer ....... I wonder what you consider is the most rarest / collectable British Car ever made

Love these deep dives. And by all means put your foot down! Ps sell something else and keep it!,

Stunning rare car with a wonderful history. Now where's my wallet...... I wish.

Keep it.

Don't sell it you will always regret it!!

I reckon the asking price will be 1.2 million, close?…, 😄.

Love your Nautilus even more than the car.

These are the real Ferraris , nude and crude.

More suited to the Italian climate? A bit drab on these roads.

Plate for sale?

He says no.

Great presentation. Coupe fan here, hard to give up that rear side window line, and the lines in general. Lopping off the top is some gimmick that toss out too much looks. I have a sense btw the top is pretty ugly up.

Refreshing, and class, a far cry from others like the nauseating "high guys I am" and by the way I laugh as a sheep at the end of my video.

went to brunei...well we all know who bought that one for sure

I bet you don’t love it as much as your 288 GTO
