    Gary I prefer the Corniche... like sipping a Courvoisier brandy out of a crystal cut brandy glass rather than gulping it down from a plastic cup, it you know what I mean

  • @stefanomastropietro9040
    @stefanomastropietro9040 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Definitely prefer wafting along the road rather that this but still very enjoyable to watch

  • @henryhol8538

    I last saw you and Ant at the NEC Restoration Show! Its good seeing you both together again. Regarding the origial Radford; I seen the Beatles Mini and the Aston DB5 Shooting Brake at classic car show. Many thanks for sharing this brilliant drive with us!👍🏽

    The lightest supercar is the Dallara...

    • @johnmcdonnell81
      @johnmcdonnell81 Před 6 dny

      Yep and the only supercar I want. Not knowing too much, I'd reckon this Radford is not in the same league as the Dallara.

    Hi Gary, I love your channel and i'm a hardcore follower! I can see how dedicated you are to put out professional looking content. Word of advice, that you are absolutely gonna ignore..Change the bombastic intro music, which sounds like you are watching an old ww2 war movie, and the Bob Ross, while painting piano music in between!;-) But if not, I will be still waiting for a new episode!

    • @classic.obsession
      @classic.obsession  Před 11 měsíci

      Appreciate your continued support. Send me a coupla great pieces that I can use…but it’s gotta be music I can use for free! Might take you a while!! Regards.

    i have to say the foose Europa you featured eek they ruined it the wheels do not fit with it at all, but liking the channel

    • @classic.obsession
      @classic.obsession  Před 5 měsíci

      I agree but personal taste I suppose. The owner who was surprised with it was thrilled. Regards.

    I can only think Ant got involved with Mike Brewer was for the money !!!😮

  • @campbelltroup2750

    Considering they keep saying 'it's only the tub that's Lotus' There is Lotus signs everywhere. On the back and on the seats.

    • @_Ben4810
      @_Ben4810 Před 24 dny

      There's something going on between Lotus & Radford...Now Ant Anstead is stating the car contains no Lotus parts at all & Radford are now building cars with a carbon fibre chassis...?!? A very tall order for a new startup car company....🤔

  • @scottnaish-theheartpatient2016

    The major problem for this car is lotus have already released the Emira with the toyota 3.5 supercharged engine they have plans for a cup-car (track version ) soon , so why would you pay many times over for a Radford Gary never told us the price ?

    • @a1topdog
      @a1topdog Před 11 měsíci

      I seem to recall they start around £400k

    • @craigyirush3492
      @craigyirush3492 Před 10 měsíci

      Or even better - get an Exige.

    • @_Ben4810
      @_Ben4810 Před 24 dny

      The really major problem is apparently Lotus is no longer involved at all with any supply of parts...🤔🤔🤔

    Well it’s a no from me. Pointless. When you can glide in the Rolls…

  • @neilharrison7555
    @neilharrison7555 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Interesting! Shades of Ferrari F40 on the front, original Ford GT40 at the sides with scoops, plus some good hi-tech gizmos (rear view mirrors etc). Way above my (pension!) grade, but one can dream......

  • @cerb101

    Isn't this like the TVR story.
    Hope it doesn't go the same way.

    Can’t believe you’d not heard of AP brakes ! Also aero used to use them.

      It's obvious he knows very little...

  • @marcusoutdoors4999
    @marcusoutdoors4999 Před 10 měsíci +1

    They desperately need to put an analogue rev counter on this car. Similarly, the rear view screens are terrible, such details really matter. Redford need to look to Singer and Pagani for inspiration. There are other Lotus type fails with the door lock buttons. The windscreen wiper is a step backwards from my old Evora. I really wish them well, but if they don’t get the details right they’ll fail. Frustrating, less chat about the history of Redford and more attention to detail.

    Lovely car but so dangerous with a full harness and no HANS device. Just asking for internal decapitation in an accident.
