I met Chris when he drove the Enzo to the Le Mans Classic. I was in my CS. He struck me as a really down-to-earth and humble guy. Enthused to share his cars with other petrol heads. Shame he sold so many classics on, but at least he has the memories!

If I remember rightly there is a video of Chris holding a camera (thats driving one handed) on the speedo at just over 200 mph which took some balls..! What a great trip will always have good memories, especially the guy in that old Caddy.

I think he is mistaken. The GTE that raced the BPR Championship in 1996 was the ultimate F40 because it had the latest 3.5-liter engine evolution , new and bigger rear wing, and a X-Trac sequential gearbox. If my memory is correct, the plaque on the Ferrari museum said it had 720 hp with the regulation required restrictors, 900 hp without.

Love how nothing is forever & he can talk about so many experiences 👍🏻

I had Italian woodworking machines, and while I'm not comparing a planer or bandsaw to a car, in terms of complexity, the instruction manual was exactly the same, when a manual was even available. I suppose that was the Italian approach to industrial manufacturing in the eighties and nineties. Good machines, though.

I don’t know how can people hate f50 so much. It’s a beautiful looking car. Mayne F40 was so beautiful and clean looking that people couldn’t move on easily to f50 at that time. But Ferrari designers knew what they are doing back then

Love his stories. Wonder what business he was exactly into as he mentions the Monaco visit during the Enzo part. Thankyou “Supercar driver” for getting this video made. Here is a tip. You guys should interview interesting owners like this once in a month or two. It could be a huge hit. I remember when VinWiki channel was young with the owners story of owning a Mclaren. I knew that they would grow well if they continued that format.

There used to be a F40 LM/GTE in a mid blue colour that was regularly in at JCT600 Brooklands in the mid to late 00's. I remember seeing a Technician driving it around the Ring Road and up Whitehall road quite a few times. Whitehall road is the test route upto Drighlington then back down the M621 for all the Brooklands Techies.👍👍

Epic!

I once entered a competition where 10 statements about Ferrari had to be put into order of importance. In case there was a tie break, entrants had to complete a sentence beginning with ‘I’d like to drive a Ferrari because …..’ using no more than 16 words. I didn’t win the competition because my order of importance was different to the panel that chose the order of importance but Jeremy Clarkson did use my winning sentence in one of his Top Gear reviews. My sentence was ‘I’d like to drive a Ferrari because everyone would know I had arrived before I’d even set off’.

Still my all time dream car, the F40

Pete is a good pal and I had the privilege of him taking me round Oulton Park in the LM (the only race car I ever felt sick in and the crashed F40 at Castle Combe was rebuilt) Spot the twin refueling ports on the rear wing.

The F1 sound is right up there with a 250gto...and that Chris places the LM in that Pantheon is appropriate

Why did he sell his most valuable cars like the f40s, enzo, f1s etc? And he hasn’t got any cars of mega value anymore. Obviously he has cgt and Diablos etc, but nothing in the same ball park as he used to own. Any reason why?

It actually takes some serious extra curriculum work to own these things

Can anyone tell me what chris did to get the the point of owning all of these cars. Google isn't much help.

Now days there are not good cars we lived the super car era.

im just wondering, what is Chris's occupation that makes him afford all these dream cars?

Chris has a very interesting ‘accent’ where is that from?
