    True, but it does look like a Pantera L which was around 300BHP. This one has been dyno’d at 490BHP! :-)

    German Racer Erich Bitter adored the style of Ghibli and Indy so much that he created the Bitter CD a quite nice looking coupe based on the Diplomat from Opel with 5.4 liter Chevy V8 and 230 horsepower Paul Breitner owned one…

    A very interesting presentation by Ian. I never realised there were different levels of Councour. I always thought the "other end of the pendulum", as he put it, was the required standard, cars kept in glass cases, carried round in covered transporters etc., such nonsense IMO. The fact some of the cars here are actually used is just how it should be!👍 OK, personal choice time, I hereby nominate the Pantera as one of the best looking cars of all time. That beautiful Ghibli in "Bronzo Metalizato" is the same colour as my shed. Just sayin'.😂😂

    Good morning lain. Love all the comments . Every days a school day ! Did l spot a certain FF in the background ? and was that Sophia Lorens Rolls Royce Drop head? The late Brian Wills , a very well respected local engineer built a light weight Elan for his wife to race and it weighed in at an astonishing 400Ibs less than the original ! Titanium door locks , seat frames , front number plate etc. And the split rear window is my favourite 325 bhp with drum brakes !!!! Thankyou lain .

    Do they loose points for non orginal number plates? One of my pet hates is black and white number plates on cars newer than 1972. Originally they would have had whit/yellow and in reality anything from about 1968-70 had them from new. Looks terrible on newer cars. If I were a judge I would exclude cars with wrong plates

    I was born in 1965 & this video pretty much documents my childhood. I can't count how many hours I spent looking at photos of these exotics in my Observers book of cars and in my Top Trumps cards. The thing that I miss are the beautiful Campagnolo wheels of the 1970s. They look so much better than today's rims.

    What a great event! I'm going to get a little nerdy here and point out that the turbine wheels on the 63' SW are actually incorrect. Kelsey Hayes had porosity issues and didn't get it straightened out till mid 64', so all 63' SW's came with hubcaps. There were a few that came invoiced with them but were never delivered. Wonderful content as always, keep up the great work Ian.

    A Dave in every episode you say? I'll be needing an agent soon! I think your comments are spot on. Iain rubs shoulders with motoring royalty and likely services their vehicles, yet he shares the whole experience in such a manner that you feel a part of it. I learn something new with every video!

    I owned two Fiat 850 Spiders, one Fiat 850 Sedan and one Fiat 124 Sport Coupe, not in that order. The 85o Spider caught my eye for its beautiful design, and although it was not fast, it was great fun to drive. After two Spiders, and the 124, I bought the 850 Sedan as a second car. And, why not, the others had made me a self taught mechanic taking me from basic tune ups to valve jobs. I did love those cars though.

    Thank you Iain, for taking us along to the London Concours. I appreciated the detail not only about these amazing cars, but also the introduction to the work of a Concours judge and the thoughts behind the ratings. It is very pleasing for me to see that the original level of craftsmanship still gets the highest ratings some 60 years later. Well done.
