1952 Ferrari barnfind + vintage race cars
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- Besides a glorious 1952 Ferrari 166MM Vignale barnfind the same barn (1940s hangar) also contains a cluster of vintage race and road cars dating from 1920 to the 1960s. Jonny knew this one would be well worth wearing his BFF for (Barn Find Fleece), and access to this very private place was granted by a chap who owned the yellow Ferrari 250 Restomod tribute that Jonny filmed last summer. It's a fairly long film, but do watch until the end for the whole story on this stunning 1952 Vignale, that has been a barnfind before back in the 1960s!
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
The barn contents in order of appearance:
Berkeley SE492 1959 x 2
Bristol 403 1953
Bristol 406 1960
Morgan +4 DHC 1959
Morgan +4 2 seater 1957
Morgan MX2 Super Sport 1933
Frontenac-Ford 1926
Riley Clifford Special Autovia V8 1934/7
Lancia Flaminia Pininfarina Coupe 1963
Ferrari 166 Mille Miglia Vignale Berlinetta Body 1952 to convert to Ferrari 225S 1952
TVR Tuscan V8 289 LWB conversion from Vixen S4 1972

I've been watching CZcams pretty avidly for nearly 15 years; I watch mostly, science, engineering and motoring videos.
This was honestly one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever seen. The chemistry between you two, the shared passion and enthusiasm was magic. Thank you SO much for allowing us to view your epic collection.
Many thanks for watching. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the story.
Shed full of dust and good intentions.
@@TheLateBrakeShow ki
@@TheLateBrakeShow That is an absolute bonkers barn, an epic owner with a lot of historic cars.. tanks for sharing this clip experience.. ;0)
Not to mention that 1952 Ferrari is quite possibly the most beautifully shaped car I've ever seen.
All I see is a mountain of work that will never be finished.
What a treat this show is, great production, the guest is allowed to talk and answer thoughtful questions, no silly overpowering soundtrack , artful camera work , bravo!!
Here here
Fantastic interviewer. Letting the chap talk about his passion.
@@mr.m325 either pay for CZcams advert free, get an ad blocker or don’t complain?
Chaps gotta earn to put out content.

“My dad’s aircraft hangar” - and other words I don’t get to say very often
Words 99% of people don't get to say.
Oh to be born into money
Often people who are still talk of working hard and getting where they are still.
Yeah, but he is not up himself or boasting in any way.
@@peterriggall8409 I feel part of this went over your head. The very fact that he isn't boasting (ie. It was completely normal to him, and thus something that isn't boast worthy) is so far removed from most people is part of the point.
Without doubt the finest you tube motoring channel ever. That Ferrari is simply stunning..
An Alfa, a Lancia and a Ferrari. Pure heaven!
love the fact that in Will's world everything can be supercharged, this is a world i would want to live in
This episode is just AMAZING!
THAT 1940 ALFA!!!!!
It's up there with Delahayes, Cords, Dusenbergs and Auburns as one of THE MOST beautiful cars ever.
This whole episode was worth it just for that!!!!
Kudos Johnny!! You knocked it out the park!
Yes, indeed. The Alfa is simply stunning.
The Body looked a bit like the 412 Sport Car with the 4 litre twelve cylinder whose Technology was Designed by Wilfredo Ricart and is lost or hidden some where
good
indeed when men were men
That bloke is crazy! I want to be like him when I grow up.... next time I grow up
All you need is super rich parents the next time you grow up...
And let classic cars rot to the ground.. he has no respect for any of these cars.. it is brag, look what I have.. cars i will never restore.. give them to someone that will..
@@graemejohnson9025 ok graeme thank you for your wise judgement
Jeeez there's some rare stuff in that barn
@@qlus I mean, he isn't wrong is he? Most of those cars are going to rot away in a barn and never be sorted.
That Alfa 6C.
OMG. Pure art. Even as it is sitting there.
Stunning…..
You must introduce him to Harry's garage, Tyrells Workshop, and Ivan Dutton. What a day out that would be. I would pay to be there for that.
Probably my favourite as the owner is an absolute gem of a man.
I'm glad there are so many CZcams car channels that are exposing these neglected relics worldwide. Perhaps as a result of the publicity some very tenacious collectors wind up harassing the hoarders enough to finally get them to sell the cars before they rot away.
What is sad is that the vast majority of these cars will never be restored, at least by the present owner. Worse case is vandals get in there and wreck the cars.
Quite possibly the best car content on CZcams. Easily my favourite channel.
Cheers Benjamin! 👊🏽
@@TheLateBrakeShow It's a 1952 Ferrari, but it's had a new body and is now going to get a new chassis
. Trigger's broom springs to mind.
Talking to ordinary people with amazing cars - I lived the Volo estate as much as the Ferrari - wonderful.
If Spoke came back to our times and saw these he'd simply say: FASCINATING
These cars are like poetry on wheels . Hand made from a set of blueprints piece by piece not some software but a living breathing human being
What another wonderful video from Jonny, thank you! To think without Jonny & CZcams we would never get to see incredible finds like this. A Treasure trove of Classic Cars, it's Archaeology for the Petrol Head opening a Mummies Tomb, and saying "What The ****ING Hell! There is absolutely nothing on TV that even comes close to this content! Just more of this please Jonny. 👍😁👍
Great show well produced and so many hidden jewels of interest and knowledge from great characters ,so well done Johnny cheers
"There is absolutely nothing on TV that even comes close to this"
Perfectly put, its the warmth and joy that sets it apart

Thank Will for sharing your lifetime and not being overly precious about everything...great episode
What I like is the pace; he's there for the prize, the Ferrari, but he takes his time getting to it. Superb content.
OMG give the Ferrari some love! Its amazing ;-) Wow...Did I say Wow
Jonny you didn't even mention the Charger at all? Amazing collection of cars, just incredible, Rj in Oz
Doesn't he own one already? Probably why he skipped over it. Pity!
Too obvious....
Someone else asked that didn't belong to the chap so wasn't covered
The Dodge belongs to Pete, we are going to give the Dodge it's own video, it's close to being one of the next projects so shouldn't be long
I thought the same thing when I saw the Charger. How could you, at least, not mention "I've got one?" Surprised.
What a magnificent collection. May he live long and finish them all!
This is the best. I’ve never seen any of these vehicles. Will , I could listen to him all day. Superb vid well done.
Not to be fatalistic, but one of my favorite parts is the impermanence of this incredible automotive history. When this lovely man passes sadly, so too may a wealth of knowledge and long held memories. I hope more like him share their experience and learned histories, to pass the torch onward, as these incredible machines become more and more rare/decayed. This is a lesson in appreciating and sharing what we have while we can enjoy that. While vital info to the projects can be shared if pertinent folks care, please do! People care! Enjoy what you can on this Earth and realize that artifacts are all around us with the right context, junk is treasure to some and treasure is junk to others. It’s about perspective. Thank you for sharing this dream “barn find”! I wish the best to your channel’s success and to that of this esteemed collection.
The chemistry between you two is flowing and I love the passion you both share. Like yourself, I could spend a week in that hangar just looking at everything. Will is potentially sitting on a fortune but you know he won’t want to part with any of it. Don’t blame him
This is the reason I'm subscribed to this channel, I absolutely love these barn find videos. No disrespect to Jonny's other content, but the electric stuff bores me to death. These barn finds make my day.
But more interesting as we meet the EV era. Are classic cars the new historical steam era.
The Bristols would make great Ev s👍🏻
See, I come here mostly for EV stuff, I find that super exciting, but then I see the Ferrari, the Lancia, the Alfa there and oh my god those are something
@@FabriSlv I love the EV stuff too
@@FabriSlv Evs for the road ice for the racing...coexisting intelligence and exciting
Wow !, that Ferrari is stunning..., why would someone take the chassis and engine, but leave the body ?. That Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Corsa though............., utterly beautiful, the curves, lines, shape and styling are just utterly beautiful. Thanks for showing these Johnny...
Great car collection and what an interesting person who owns them. He is the kind of person we should be happy bought these cars and did not let them die. That Ferrari must be very valuable when finished properly.
This is one of the best barn finds so far. A petrolhead’s dream, Will you are a gent for letting us see your beautiful collection 👍👍
Few CZcams channels produce such entertaining, relaxing and attention-grabbing content as this. Congrats for the great work!
Love that the tvr has a tarpaulin over it yet the priceless ferrari is left for the birds to poo over.
Great guy great video.
Yeah but the tvr is all wood so needs different environmental control?
Ha ha lmao 🤣
Insane. I just wish those cars are restored and see the road again. It’s sad seeing such amazing art pieces rotting away
Thanks for this Johnny. What an absolute character. His dad had 3 planes at the bottom of the garden and now he has a vintage Ferrari and an Alfa in his barn. Legend absolute bloody legend. Can we see the rest of the cars.
This is one of the most enjoyable videos on CZcams. Could listen to the two of you chatting for hours, Will seems like such an interesting guy. So many truly incredible cars sat in an old barn/hanger with properly special history. Thank you for for sharing this!
Brings back memories , my dad restored Berkeleys many happy days going to motor shows inches of the ground. He managed to convert a damaged one to mini power, completely bonkers. We took one to the Brighton classic car show and due to the long wait to get out the exhibition centre on the second floor. We wheeled the three wheeler into the goods lift and lifted the back up to fit it in and beat the queue. Those SE492's were pretty rare back when I were a lad what a find.
Met a guy in Cali at a winery, had a bunch of Porsche like this, even a speedster, all needed major work but impressive to look at, same thing, all just rotting away in a barn but some cars are so far gone they are not really restored, just replaced with a small bit to to get a VIN. Another great video and it's hard to imagine all the stuff out there in barns. Bought a pre-war skip tooth on a trip to Kansas once, was a kids grandmas bike, have a vette in the garage too, sold the bike to a museum that had WWII planes so felt proud. Keep hunting!
That door handle looked ultra modern. Lovely car.
Stumbled upon this, just like a barn find - and what a total joy this has been. Thanks so much, Jonny and Will, for a terrific half hour's joy!
As a bit of a hoarder of old machines, I have come to terms with the fact that I’ll never get all the projects done. More recently I’ve found much more joy in selling a load of fixer uppers and buying a couple of very nice things to actually use. Nice collection.
Amen to that mantra. It sometimes takes a long time to realise but ultimately you enjoy the cars more.
Without a doubt this is my favourite channel and when you showcase barns like this I sit enthralled from start to finish. I would love to see the Ferrari when it is completed. Permission to wipe the drool from my chin now that this episode has finished.
Alan, thank you for watching and being on-board the ship of TLBS
Amazing collection of beautiful cars and so well captured. The cinematic photography is a credit to you and your team.
A very knowledgeable man with a lust for perfect lines and power ( not you btw Johnny )👏👏👏
Dan you are the master of erudite and educated utterances. ( Not you Barnes🤪😂)
All sadly left to rot away..
Sell to someone that will give these cars the respect they deserve. Not a brain dead collector? That let's them rust away.. because they can brag about collection.. it isn't a car collection. It is classic car murder.
@@graemejohnson9025 We had so much content we had to cut a bit off that explains this is not the case. The plan with Project Heaven was to have one mechanic always working on one of Will's cars to get them all running, however we have become too busy with other customers cars. So, we are currently recruiting another mechanic who will work on these cars every day.
What an amazing collection of cars, I hope Will has a team of mechanics to help him get all those finished, seems like a life times work to get those all done by just one man, I hope he succeeds, that Vignale Ferrari is just beautiful.
One thing is certain, in another 30-50 years there won't be blokes talking about barn finds such as a Toyota Prius or Nissan Leaf, we've seen the best of the motoring years I feel, it's all down hill from now.
This show should be on tv
Will is my new Hero! What a guy 🏁💪🏾🏆
My god, what a car...
Will seems like an awesome chap to spend the afternoon with as well!
I could spend hours and hours and hours........admiring and cleaning all of those 👍🏻😂
Gotta restore the Morgan....Marvellous machine
Somewhere in America Tom Cotter is watching this with his jaw on the floor. Amazing episode . Amazing collection.
Tom is a dude. He's found so many other beauties. I like Tom's approach.
I really think Will needs to have his own CZcams channel to update on the progress of the beautiful machines!
I really hope Will gets to see these projects through, he has some amazing cars and a fantastic balance of historical sympathy and modification.
Quite late to this party but wow, this is the just the best. What a great guy and such a genuine enthusiast. Mad movie! Love it!
Wonderful, but you get the feeling that these things will never get finished. Most of them are deteriorating by the day. Reminds me of my days with old classics in the 70's when guys like this were all over the place. Then it was 1929 Bentley's and C type Jaguars. Love these videos.
Just to expand on the racing Ferrari right hand drive point and Jonny's comment re Italian driving; Italy drove on the left in the early years and Lancia continued to make its cars in right hand drive for the Italian market right up until the early 1950's.
Martin, thanks for this info. I had no idea.
I may be wrong, but older Italians would order right hand drive cars for as long as they could, even though traffic had long gone left hand drive.
In addition to what Will said in the video, italian race cars continued to be RHD for a while because the clockwise oval tracks (right turns only) had no real pit area that was physically separated from the track by a barrier: cars would keep to the right on one of the straights, and with RHD cars drivers could get in and out of the car away from traffic rather than towards the speeding cars
Another reason was it was deemed safer to be driving on the same side as the kerb when in deep fog which most of northern Italy suffers from in winter
@@musiccylinderK6 I think that was the reason that the Ford GT40 was RHD - just to make it safer in the pit area at Le Mans
That Alfa was *&$$!!$£g gorgeous.
INCREDIBLE! Bloody incredible!
Too many fantastic cars in one video and , the icing on the cake was that Ferrari 👌🏼
This was amazing. Will is such a character as are his cars.
Would love to see the other half of his collection at some point.
No doubt we'll make another video on them at some point!
@@ProjectHeaven looking forward to it.
For the time being you got yourself a new sub. 🙌
Another cracking video Jonny, production quality just gets better & better.
Never mind the cars - this channel is a nice find. Always loved your presenting Jonny.
J Giles owned/drove this??!!! Omg what a story! Beautiful Ferrari! Timeless design. It’s incredible how Ferrari has evolved.
Lancia and Aston Martin Cars are my all time favourites. Especially Lancia for Sporting Heritage, Innervation and engineering.
I'd love to see how these machines progress through their restorations.
One of your best shows and I learned a few things too
Cheers Rob!
Fabulous info vid from an EX 5th gear presenter who knows what car people want to see and hear.Wonderful
Yes, that is a looker.
And what a head full of knowledge (he should record and not lose it).
Thank you Jonnie.
Loving the Bar find series Jonny keep it up 👏👏
Bar find? Now there's an idea.
Oops autocorrect
So sad. Looking at the rusting graveyard of some amazing cars.
Passion and enthusiasm stored in a cold damp hanger.
... such a wonderful, mostly original Ferrari Vignale!!!
I've now got an angel of the centrefold earworm! "Naah- nah- na- nah- na- naah!"
Only watched the intro and J can't take my eyes off those logs by the barn... 🤔 I'm thinking I could make some cool stuff out of that lot 😉
Funny you say that, as I nicked a couple for our tortoise enclosure!
@@TheLateBrakeShow ahhh I want one 😂😂😂😂
That was awesome Johnny 👌👌👌 thank you. 🙏
just a dream,verry nice man and nows a lot about his cars
This guy is the most interesting person you’ve had on the show
Wow.. What a cool interesting guy William is. And a fabulous collection that we've only seen part of 👏👏👏
Absolutely Amazing, just brilliant 👍👍👍👍
That Ferrari is something very special 👌
It's a lovely thing, but it isn't a Ferrari.
It's an aftermarket body that was put onto a Ferrari chassis by people other than the factory.
It had no real known race history with the vignale body and now contains nothing at all from the real car.
All that said I'm very happy It's been saved and is going to be fitted out with a copy of its original chassis and a proper Colombo V12, just so long as no one tries to pass it off as the real deal
The early Ferraris (1947 to 1962) are by far my favourites aesthetically❤️ I would like to think they are as good to drive as they are to look at👍
I can see a series coming - Will's Barns.............. what a fabulous episode.
The most endearingly, fascinating car programe I have seen. Thank you.
Lovely! I would have liked to hear a mention of the Charger.
I bet Jonny brought it!
Wow. It just goes to show, all these old barns, sheds and outbuildings dotted around the world, and you just never know what treasures are lurking behind the doors. And, as for a Lamborghini Miura for £9k, and in 1988, what the hell! Even if it was rough, the same car today would be well into six figure territory. An incredible Ferrari too. I think that's the same body used by Cunningham in the US too. They look very similar.
The best barn find video ever!!
What a treat Johnny! Thanks to You & Wil for filling our hearts & heads with this incredible (Mind Blowing) journey through time! Top Drawer Brother! :)
Absolutely 'Flippin' amazing. Thanks Jonny.
Simply superb in every single way. Cheers !!!
In 1958 or 1959 I was driving towards downtown.....Memorial to Shephard to Allen Parkway (the 6 lane parkway into town)......Between Memorial to Shephard I saw a Ferrari Vignale Coupe much like this one......Was painted two-tone blue......Gorgeous!!!.
Where is the "Super like" button ? This is amazing content! Loved every second of this video !
Lovely collection, and what a lovely chap. Well done Sir.
Dear Jonny, I've been barn finding your videos on here and I have to say this episode is by far my favourite and I would love to see a follow up to this. As soon as you mentioned J. Geils, I wanted to watch it again! Thanks Jonny and keep up the good work
That corsa is simply stunning, it’s like finding treasure.
Another excellent vid, Jonny, and what a find. Love stuff like this, with a passionate owner and a story for every car. And what a great eclectic collection it is 😀
Great episode. I used to search for and provide parts for these early Ferraris and the history/mystique of these cars really draws you in. Jonny , you should make it out to Villa D'Este , Amelia Island , Pebble Beach etc... and see some of these cars after a full restoration.
Amazing entertainment. Thanks the late brake show
This old fella is a nut, a really really nice nit and long may he carry on being so.
Wow, what an amazing episode this was! Absolutely loving these, and it doesn't get better than a bunch of old, rare and niche cars from the past tucked away in an unsuspecting barn!
If those are his shed projects, I’d love to see his ‘goers’? Follow up video coming soon?
Jonny is welcome back any time.
WANT!!!!
Had the pleasure of attending 2016 Ferrari Mondiali in Daytona. They had a 52 212 as well as a 58 250GT with a very similar look. Beautiful automobile’s among a sea of beautiful Ferrari’s
What an absolute aladdins cave of wonder, joy, knowledge and passion. Just brilliant.
Great video! Love that TVR, the Vixen body shape is stunning and I bet it sounds epic.
It certainly does!
@@ProjectHeaven Now that is a tease! ;)
What is the engine ? Not a cosworth ?
I could listen to Will all day - he's the sort of fascinating and talented character you only bump into once in a blue moon! Fantastic!!!
What a great car collection!!!
