- Welcome to part 4 of our interview with Chris Palmer!
In this final part, we chat to Chris about his ownership experience with one of the rarest road-legal Porsche's there is, the 962. As well as his current car, the almighty Porsche Carrera GT!
Chris Palmer has owned most, if not all of the greatest cars from the 80s, 90s and 2000s including two McLaren F1s, multiple F40s including an F40 LM, Pagani Zonda S and road legal Porsche 962 to name just a few.
He owned these cars in period when they weren't quite as priceless as they are now and used and drove them all as intended.
In this 4 part mini-series, we sit down with Chris, wind the clock back and find out what it was like to own these legendary cars and dig deep into some of his most fond memories.

Hands up who wants a part 5? 🙋🏻♂️
👀💭
Hands, legs, whatever! More of Chris please!
If it involves a drive of the CGT i'm in
It's a shame this series had to come to an end. Chris is great at talking about his cars. The best thing I've watched on CZcams in a long time!
Why thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully not the last of Chris you see on here
@@scd Pls bring him back! Maybe do like a podcast setup with him talkin about his automotive journey n ownership n buyin experiences of other cars he owned. Absolutely loved the videos featuring Chris! Thank you SCD!
Maybe can get him to talk about his SUV next?
Same!
Cant wait for parts 5,6,7,8,9......
Wow can I just thank Chris for this series. The car world need more people like him. Down to earth and fascinating. Hope he reads the comments one of the best things I've watched all year. Like if you agree
I was just laughing when he described 962 : "of course is a IMSA homologation car yeah so obviously race-car that was designed for 1 in the cockpit- the racing driver but since this is a homologation special it has 2 seats but the passenger seat is just for some unfortunate unlucky person who driver just want to terrify" I was thinking that this statement is true not just in case of IMSA 962 but in all supercars case is same thing : Zonda, Huayra, 918, Carrera GT, McLaren F1, Ferrari F40, F50, Enzo, Veyron, Chiron, Agera, All passengers will eventually get terrified.. He He He..!!! :0)
100% agree could not meet a more down to earth guy
Never came across this channel , but I am absolutely loving this series, well done guys, great production
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Really enjoyed this series. The Carerra GT is my favourite supercar with that powerful V10 which sounds sublime and still analogue with a manual gearbox with few driver aids.
Some of the best exotic car ownership content I've seen. What a great story teller
He’s had an incredible collection 🙌
Absolutely! Also love the fact that he never once boasted about what he spent acquiring these beasts!
@@rahulsudhir666 because it makes you feel better about yourself?
@@william_SMMA The fucks that even supposed to mean? 🤣 It's a comment on a CZcams video and the narrator in particular. Yes, I enjoyed a non douchy story. I don't see a problem with that. Dayummm
Thank you Chris for sharing this with us and to everyone at SCD for pulling it off
Pete
Agreed! On all counts 🙌
I love how he said so causally that he’d had lots of other Porsches. You know, GT2’s and stuff.
We’ll hopefully get onto those 👀
That's the best sounding CGT in the world! It has a high pitch sound that many of the straight pipe CGT lack
It’s biblical
Loved this series. Best thing I’ve watched in years. Congratulations scd and Chris palmer what a guy so honest and genuine. 👍
i love the way he talks about the GT. learning to live with its faults. ignoring the so called experts. just enjoying it for what it is and that is a piece of automotive history.
This man is a genius I think he understands cars more than anyone in the world
Yep! He’s had enough epic cars
An absolutely astounding series! I thoroughly enjoyed every single episode! Bravo! Well done!
this is amazing! enjoyed all episodes too much i want more. Thanks for the stories and looking forward for similar videos
People that drive their sports, super or Hypercars deserve more respect. Well done. Chris Harris is another advocate for driving them.
The Carrera GT is incredible. I had the privilege of driving one years ago and nothing feels as special and engaging
Absolutely awesome series, thanks SCD and thanks Chris 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the series I’ve been waiting for..a person who loved with the cars talking about the cars..you guys have smashed it with these.! Well done and thank you 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
I've really enjoyed these videos been looking forward to this porsche one the most. I know nothing about Chris but he seems like a down to earth bloke who has worked hard and enjoyed his money. The sound of that porsche is savage to own one must be really special.
Love this concept! Haven’t watched this good of content on you tube in a long time would love to hear more stories from some of these amazing collectors.
We're hoping to do more!
Thanks to SCD & Chris Palmer for this entire series, it's been amazing!
Incredible hearing 1st hand from someone who has owned all of the poster boy dream cars and, to tell you which one he likes the most and why. Thanks for having Chris on your channel and a very special thanks to Chris for spending his time talking about it with all of us!!!
What a great series, thank you. Beautiful presentation by a true fan of cars and driving. Great taste, too
This is definitely the best car channel on CZcams, bar none. Thanks for the great content lads! Enjoyed this series massively!
Why thank you 🙌
Best series ever. Thanks for this great series.
From a man whos owned them all. "The CGT... The book closes with that!"
WOW!! Thankyou so much for sharing Chris and SCD for making some beautifully made film.
Thanks for tuning in 🙌
I watch most if not all of your videos. But this series, by far the best. Thanks again for the shares on this. Such a great series and well produced as well.
Glad you've enjoyed it!
Beyond awesome, his last GT. What a car! Lovely series of videos by the way, as always SCD delivers!
Thanks 🙏
Great series. Palmer is fantastic for sharing with us his experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a guy! Thank you Chris for sharing. One of the best car video’s in the history of YT!!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
After seeing al 4 vids, only one thing comes up.. Chris Palmer you re a legend m8! awesome edited vids. excellent!
Legendary series. Chris is indeed a very fortunate man. That Carrera GT is truly epic.
Thanks to Chris for sharing. Brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
I've been lucky enough to go for a ride in a Carrera GT on a racetrack. Went from a 06 Ford GT to the Carrera and I gotta say it was night and day difference between the two cars, even though they're both very similar on paper. Love the look of the Ford GT but the Porsche was on another level. Like a vacuum cleaner with every gear. Felt so light and Nimble and the sound was God like.
Wow! Epic
Only just watched this in full. Loved it. Thanks Chris for your time & of course SCD.
I think half the views on this series have been from recommendations from me. Chris seems like such a humble man I would love to see some of those cars. Fair play
Another superb video definitely need more mini series like this with other super car owners telling there tales 🙏
Sure 🙌
Vern Schuppan, successful Australian racer in the 1970s and 80s, built a few 962 road cars, only the first had original bodywork like this one. This from wiki: "With Japanese backing, Schuppan produced minimally modified street legal 962 race cars. The first, known as the 962R and registered in the UK as H726 LDP, retained the original bodywork and honeycomb chassis from its racing career. Later a road going evolution of the Porsche 962 called the Schuppan 962CR was developed, using different bodywork than the 962R. At the then price of 195 million yen (US$1.5 million) only six were built."
I could listen to chris palmer for hours talk about the cars he has had and his amazing stories what a legend
Great series. Hearing from someone who has actually owned and driven all these super cars is priceless. The Porsche noise was also pretty spectacular. Thanks Chris and SCD.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely trilling to hear from a real "drivers" driver, owned Mclaren F1, Zonda, F40, F50, 962 and Carrera GT's. Hearing that feedback that one could only ever dream of experiencing. I bet all the UK CGT lads will be happy @TGE TV (looking at you) Chris, you've probably just added another £100k to the values with that stunning feedback.
Joking aside, a pleasure to hear, thank you Chris Palmer for taking the time.
“The book closes with that”. End of discussion!
Well done SCD and Chris , I thoroughly enjoyed this series.
🙌🙌🙌
Amazing to listen to someone’s actual experience of the car. I bet the clutch will last on that car. It better considering it’s got so much power. I am excited to see more videos from your channel down the road.
Lots more to come!
That was a hugely enjoyable series. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Brilliant series featuring Chris, well done.
Its so refreshing to listen to someone who has actually owned and lived
with so many exotic and thrilling cars but yet is so down to earth in telling both
his and the cars histories.
It would be well worth Chris doing a lot more videos, looking at the comments on here
he would have quite a decent following...
More please.
We're hoping to do more with Chris!
@@scd That's great to hear,look forward to that 👍
Fair play to Chris... what a really sound guy. His choice of cars are second to none. I love the Carrera GT also. 😎
Thanks for great series of vids!
Amazing series, thanks!
Great series of interviews, Carrera GT first on my list if I won the lottery!
The story telling is marvellous. Another phenomenal video.
Why thank you 🙌
Wow! What a video! Always loved the 962… and always loved the CGT. Can’t believe I didn’t buy one back in day when they were cheapish! Feel very very silly now! What a car
We need more!!! Great series, great channel.
Thank you buddy
That noise. It reminds me so much of when the F1 cars ran V10's.. Really informative interesting videos. Chris has a wealth of knowledge
Brilliant series
Could listen to more
What a guy
Well he said it all about the Carrera GT, recently Porsche did some museum night event , Walter Rohrl was there and as Chris mentioned it, Walter said that is to this date his favorite all time car. This part 4 just emphasizes what a really cool and true car guy Chris is, I take my hat off to him
Great series thanks Chris and SCD
Our pleasure!
Listening to Chris from these episodes now I think I now know my purpose in life and that is to be so successful that I can experience every car this world has to offer.
Crack on!
Clicked like just for the first 20 seconds. God I love that sound.
Epic isn’t it!
A joy to watch. The man is so passionate about cars unlike most modern collectors who only buy cars which they think are rare and won't depreciate and almost never drive them, at least not the way they are supposed to be driven. Not that they can 😄
He’s the GOAT 🙌
I love this...but have never felt more jealous lol. So conflicted.
Thank you for sharing
Really enjoyed the interview the chap came across well and nice interview style
Hope there is more to come in a way of this type of content a great watch once again
That's the plan!
This was epic. Thanks for sharing Chris. If anything lets the Carerra GT down its the looks. It looks 'plain' like a standard F1 does. No passion in its design, just form.
Thank you for the wonderful series. Looking forward to what Is to come. The teaser image for the class of 1967 video looks fantastic!! Could you kindly post a link to the company that did the exhaust on the CGT?
Really enjoyed these videos, I could listen to him talk cars all day
Glad you enjoyed! We're hoping to do more!
That sounds soooooo epic!
Please share more. This man is a legend, I remember him on 5th gear back in the day.
Love how Chris said forget about the mythology and folklore, the basis of his verdict is on the comparative analysis of Actually Driving these Awesome Machines/Works-of-Art!!!
You know it 🙌🙌
This is a great series really enjoying. Really down-to-earth and informative.
Love the fact Chris has a CSL sketch above his head alongside the F40, Zonda and F50?. Would love to hear his thoughts on it.
It’s actually filmed at SCD HQ 🙌
What a legend!!!
Great opening shot!
Quite possibly the best sound I've ever heard.
Agreed!
Series; brilliant, Chris Palmer; legend. However the exhaust note of the Carrera GT stood the hair up on my arm - Absolutely mega. He wasn't exaggerating when he compared it too old school V-10 F1 cars.
More please 🙏 but seriously great series and great bloke 👍
The first 20 seconds of this video made every hair on my body stand on end. What an incredible car to own and drive on the road.
🙌🙌🙌
You guys really need to do this more often.
Am sure no shortage of such gem owners out there. And i hope they agree to be on camera.
Am sure we can come up with good list of owners.
We sure hope so! Chris is up for more too 🙌
I really like this guy's attitude about cars. He doesn't seem pretentious, and is a true enthusiast it seems . First time seeing him, and first time to this channel. Thanks CZcams algorithm. ;)
He is a true enthusiast!
Sad this series had to end. Chris is an amazing guy and I enjoyed this
We're hoping to do more with Chris!
Great video. Thanks for making it
Our pleasure!
That 962 is lower than a snakes belly , man !! That would look like a alien craft amongst modern monster size traffic......Badass!!
Brilliant series ...top bloke and a Yorkshire lad ....Great seeing areas I know on camera near meadow hell.
🙌🙌🙌
That exhaust sounds genuinely incredible. I was half hoping to see this at Wentworth Woodhouse earlier; hopefully some time soon 🤞
He nearly came
So this series will do no good for people trying to buy CGT in next 1-2 year’s 😂. Thank you so much for sharing this series. It’s been an absolutely lovely time listening to Chris describe my childhood dreams. Proper lad no pretense’s just a vibe of sharing good stories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely bloke with a great taste in cars. Well done all.
This series was epic
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Great series!
Thank you 🙏
great vids thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 🙌
Love the series
Thanks for tuning in
Such a great series. Wish there were another 20 parts
If you insist 👀
That intro is pure filth👂👌😍😍😍 Great series really enjoyed watching. Keep up the great content 👏👏👏
Thank you! Will do! Glad you enjoyed the intro!
An old friend of mine Jason Clay used to own a Black CGT and I remember seeing him at B&Q on the Euroway Trading Estate on the M606 outside Bradford in it one sunny Sunday in about 2006/07 Looked lovely in Black.
Great series.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic series
Glad you enjoyed it!
This series is insane, make it a movie pls
Total runtime is 52 mins, it almost is a movie!
We don't want, we NEED more stuff like that! We know you have the connections to make it happen. We'll be waiting!
Wow!! Black 962 :- Beast!! C GT :- piece of automotive art. HNY. Great video. Thanks. (new subber).
A unicorn! Thanks for the sub, welcome along!
Just an incredible collection of cars owned there and driven too which is what they are there for. Chris Palmer comes across as a true enthusiast and a really down to earth guy. I couldn't help notice his Honda RC30 bike though. Does he have a bike collection too?
Fastastic series. More of this please..
Yet another fabulous vid, did he by any chance own malton cars? He must be fairly local to me, i am in lancashire ,i am guessing he is west yorkshire,
Willy Koenig offered the 962 as a road going car with the 930 turbo engine putting out around 550bhp, 3 of them were made called the C62. But they didn’t have the Porsche badge of course. It’s great to hear Chris’s experiences with his various cars he’s owned. Stuff like the Porsche GT being the best of the analogue bunch.
