I met Tiff at the GFOS several years ago. He was just sitting at a table with a few copies of his books towards the end of the day, nobody else around just relaxing. He was a top bloke, couldn’t have been nicer after I ruined his quiet time. We need more of Tiff on our screens, a genuine driving legend!

I don't often give a like, but here I did. Keep Tiff on this Channel !

Tiff is who I want to be when I grow up. Top man! Humility and sheer class. Always look forward to your videos. My first ever comment on KZread; I could not resist Mr Needell's charm.

Worhty winner of that competition: I doubt anybody else would have taken that much care of that car, or use it so well.

Humble way of living. I like that.

Everyone loves Tiff.

The durex sign is because racing drivers always like to come first...

This was very satisfying to watch especially seeing the joy on Tiff's face as he starts up the Ford-Lotus

I love it Tiff, so genuine and unpretentious, you had me with the Same Car 45 years ago won, won again 45 years later, Same car, simple kit, fast as they weigh nothing..... Brilliant straight up garage, nice & simple 👍

Glad to see you're getting Tiff involved with this channel - truly one of the best motoring presenters out there, and a genuinely passionate man of Motorsport. Well worth listening to Chris Harris' podcast with him, if you've not already

It's incredible how a car can change someone life's, Tiff is really someone to be admired!!

How can you not love this man. Tiff for POTUS

Tiff ..... your passion is exuberant. The face you make and you exclamation when the engine fires up are simply priceless. 😎🤘

The way Tiff talks. So nice to listen to

Tiff is one of those presenters you can’t fault! Such a wonderful on screen presence and his passion for cars is fantastic! We need to see more of him!

What a lovely fella Tiff is, I know he will never see this but I just hope he knows every one loves him and we all think he’s a great guy

So glad Mr. Needell is contributing to this channel.

I absolutely love this man. Humble. Smart. Legend.

Remember meeting you around ‘91 at Donnington Park. You were smiling from ear-to-ear doing 360 doughnuts whilst on opposite lock, whilst we dabbled in single seaters. Love the Countax mower. We have one too. They must leave the factory looking battered and bruised - but go on forever. Let’s race them together. Winner takes the bonnet (as a spare). 😉👍

Wow what a prize to win! A racing car! It’s so sweet you’ve still got it after all these years and it looks in great condition.

I was fortunate enough to do a few laps of Brands Hatch with Tiff driving an M3 a few years ago. Great fun and a properly nice guy.

Man, they gave out racecars in the 70s?

It’s absolutely delightful to watch you Tiff and how much love you have for that car.

that is the grin of a man seeing his first love again, what an amazing car to have with you. i can feel tiff's love for the machine from the video

Salute to you Tiff.... 30+ years old race car, start on first press of the button!!! Respect!!

Love that Tiff has saved a sign that says DUREX!!

Tiff you are my No. 1 racing driver hero! I have grown up with all of your content, and my friends even joke how much influence you have on me!

We need more Tiff Needell in the world!

We love Tiff! 😁 (and that's seriously nice that he bought back the car where it all started and has been out and won a race in her again, since - just epic) 👍

Genuinely great person that Tiff!

Tiff is the best. More please.

Lovely to see the car after reading about it in Tiff’s book

Tiff is the best.

Love these videos from Tiff

Such a character! I love that guy since i first saw him as a kid watching 5th gear. Such a cool and classy guy.

loving the durex logo on the bit of bodywork in the trophy shelf

45 years later and still being able to fit in the rice car would be an achievement for many let alone win a race in it.

Tiffs the man, been a fan of his since was a kid

How can you not love this man

Love you Tiff !!!!!! Much love from your #1 fan in Ohio !!!!!!!

That made me smile profoundly when he opened the garage door and sitting there all beautiful was that race car 🏎 even more so when the sound of her starting up 😁

I love him even more now 😁. seems like a really cool guy.

Best collection ever, can't imagine having such a longstanding history with a car.

Tiff is hands down my favourite motoring personality ... completely down to earth it’s been a pleasure to watch him since the late 80s

That formula ford just warmed my heart. Keep it racing and stay young forever

Can we please have James May do a tour of his bikes? I'm guessing he has time and is probably keen to share!

Tiff, without trying to be cool , you are ice cold cool. Love the emotion and pleasure these machines bring you. 👍

Tiff is just straight up humble..... what a gentleman

Love this guy!!

Love the durex advertisement on the shelf at the back 😂👍🏼

He won his first car! Nice to see he came from that to what he is now. Used it to his advantage and it paid off!!

As a big tiff admirer I'm a bit ashamed I haven't watched this yet, now I have have it makes me so happy to see him having fun and his garage with great race car and naturally aspirated fun, as a Honda fan it's nice to see has one of their quads at least and to let it dry out and then it goes again is Testament to them isn't it 🤣👍I wish I could do the same the fact that he can keep his old racing car in there are in like a matchbox setting is fantastic by the way Tff the rust on your tools is not rust it's patina🤣 hope this man is at the classics day at Brands on the 23rd as he is definitely one of the racing heroes of Britain👏😂

Absolutely love happiness and connection of Tiff with the cars. Beautiful ride and well deserved sire.

Wow this is awesome. Tiff has always been one of my favorite drivers/presenters and nothing has changed!

Thanks for sharing this video, absolutely loving the last bit Tiff!

Always a pleasure to watch Tiff's videos. He's so enthusiastic about cars and talk about his racing career with so much passion. Awesome.

Been watching KZread all day and this is the best video. Great story.

we all love tiff! hope to see more tiff videos in future

Thanks for sharing Tiff

Tiff is a legend. I could chat over a beer with this guy for hours

Such a gentleman, and with such wit

Tiff is the most wholesome man in motor-journalism.

That was brilliant! Thanks Tiff ❤

Respect for a grounded sensible guy .

Tiff is great, I wanna have a beer or five with him lol. Cool dude

Always love Tiff!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Suddenly the best car video I've seen all year! Show us more of this car. Love the enthusiasm and the familiarity with how the car works.

I love Tiff, what a legend!

Wonderful thanks Tiff

There is something heartwarming about seeing Tiff with that Formula Ford from so many years ago. The way he knows all those little quirks and tricks, and the undimmed affection for something that is so key to his life story. If there is such a thing as "wholesome" in the world of motorsport, it has to be Tiff coaxing his old car into life with an unforced smile and obvious deep seated happiness . We should all be so fortunate.

Love the Durex sign on the rear shelf alongside the trophies. Haha Love ya work Tiff

I’m so glad that you managed to get your car back, thank you for sharing your story.

Saw Tiff race that car at Brands Hatch either last year or year before. Walked past him in the paddock. Top bloke!

That's really cool Tiff! 👌

Tiff is one wholesome bloke. Remember watching him at fifth gear. So awesome. Cheers

Love it, I did enjoy his commentaries on the old Top Gear pretty Hammond and May.

Been a huge fan of Tiff since the late 90's/early 2000's when I first saw him in Top Gear.
