- Join me to visit a true connoisseur's car collection featuring both the Touring Disco Volante Coupe and Spyder! Sitting alongside a Berlinetta Lusso, two Alfa Romeo 8Cs, an SLS Final Edition and Vanquish Zagato, let's take a look around these incredibly rare cars before taking both Disco Volantes out for a drive!
Touring build the Disco Volante on a donor Alfa Romeo 8C; the Competizione for the Coupe, or the Spyder for the open top variant, so it retains the 4.7l V8 and semi-automated gearbox with a truly glorious sound. The bodywork is entirely re done with beaten aluminium in a completely new design, along with a re-trimmed interior in a completely bespoke way created with the owner along the process.
While there are only a total of 8 Disco Volante Coupes and 7 Disco Volante Spiders, sitting alongside them is the Berlinetta Lusso, one of just 5 cars based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Next up are the two Alfa Romeo 8Cs, first the Competizione coupe painted as a one-off in the original Disco Volante colour and next an 8C Spyder with a few Touring touches. Beyond those are the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Volante and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition. Each car in the collection has a story, is from a limited build run and is truly a collectible vehicle.
The day ahead of us features discovery of both Disco Volantes; first up an outing in the Coupe, followed by the Spyder, to appreciate the fact that these cars exist and purely enjoy the experience. Combining the stunning exhaust note with the beautiful weather, and the amazing opportunity to drive these two cars together, what could be better! I must extend a huge thank you to the owner of the private collection for the invitation to not only visit the garage but also to experience these cars on the road.
Thanks for watching, Tim

This is truly a connoisseur's car collection with not one, but two Touring Disco Volantes! Better still, on a day with beautiful weather and surrounded by some amazing roads, to complete the dream we take them both out for a drive to enjoy the glorious sound of their V8s and what they represent as bespoke coachbuilt cars. A huge thanks goes to the owner of these fabulous cars for the opportunity to enjoy and share them!
Jeremy Clarkson would freak out with excitement to see the Alfa Romeo
+Justin spot the reference at 15:22
@@Shmee150 ok
@@Shmee150 Oh yeh that cool
Just one word Tim... Jealous !
*The Disco Volatne, in my view, is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.*
Agree
And 8c
I think the Eagle Lightweight GT is a huge competitor for that title.
Disco volante are not made to attack corner it is made to savour the corners
By "Jeremy clarkson"
Which is right❤
I've made so many unmanly noises watching this video.
I cut some onions watching that top gear video... was a masterpiece.
'The heart of an Masarati, an Alfa Romeo badge , exhaust made out of Otis Redding, and a bodywork to die for' -Yeremy Clarkson
Otis Redding.
@@MrJoVaWa thanks
Heart more of a Ferrari via Maserati.
Missthe old top gear
@@user-bu7fn5vg8h same. the new one is kinda alright tho. Chris Harris is a good dude, the Irish dude is cool too.
The exhaust note is the most soulful noise a machine has ever produced
More alfa romeo on the channel please Tim! 😁
INSTANTLY STOPPED WHAT I WAS DOING AND CLICKED!!!
Thanks Tim.
I still maintain today that the Disco Volante is one of the best looking cars of all time.
I will never forget the day I was lucky enough to see one in real life. 👌
ғɪʟʟ 1ɴ ᴛ҉ ʜ3 ʙʟᴀɴᴋs i know a place in switzerland (5min from my home) where the british racing green one with the gold and red accents is stored. if you know how you can go look at it it‘s in an underground garage which is open to public (but almost no one knows where).
Thanks Shmee, The Disco V is my favourite modern car design, love it !
Hope you enjoy the video! We had the most amazing day driving them both together
there's a Top Gear which goes by "Alfa Romeo Disco Volante I Top Gear I Series 21" and can be also found on CZcams. An homage to the Volante
And this is one of the reasons why i believe this is an underrated channel, where else are we gonna see such special cars driving together. #DreamLand.
I don't care. Keep the lambos, the new ferraris, everything.
I would take the discos, the zagatos, the eagle speedster...
milosilic23 can your heart keep up with those?
I think mine can’t. Heart attack immediately.
Zagato. Mmmm.
they're even more expensive what is wrong with you
milosilic23: I'm completely with you ! Give me a Touring Ferrari Berlinetta Lusso over anything else, ANYTHING! Supercar included.
I’m with you...
This gentleman really loves sensationally sounding naturally aspirated engines.
Respect and admiration.
like clarkson said back in the years... it's just the most beautiful car ever made... a true piece of art.
and god that exaust note is porn!!
Clarkson said that about the Alpha 8c not the disco volante
The Otis Redding exhaust. 👌
This is one off the most beautiful garage and collection of cars I have ever seen. The cars are so stunning
Never clicked so fast in my life, genuinely. I love the disco volante thanks shmee for making this video
And thank you for watching it
Touring is just a level above everything else. Real coach building cannot be replaced by anything modern.
One of the best sounding cars
That is without any shadow of a doubt
@@Shmee150 Which exhaust was added to this? You said it was slightly modified
I have an immense amount of respect for Touring and Zagato. I dunno what it is with these Italian coach builders.
For those fans of classic Aston Martins like the DB4-6. These were the companies that brought us those cars as we know them.
Honestly they hold a special place in my heart. Occasionally they just bring what is to me a sculpture on wheels.
Big thanks to the guy that owns this collection.
You have watchers from all ages and countries, because I'm a girl of 13 from the Netherlands. Please make much more videos like this and even more people will like you. Love you❤️
What a day this must have been. 2 of those rare beauties out in Austria. Ever since the Top Gear episode featuring the Disco Volante, this is one of my favourite coach build cars. What a lovely piece of art. Awesome that you were granted the opportunity, Tim!
This is absolutely a day I will not forget, a complete dream to experience them both in this way. A huge thanks goes to the owner that it was possible!
@Charlie M. Thanks. I guess you're right. I was put off by today's Instagram announcement.. :)
The metallic white 8C Spider is actually my favorite, what a perfect spec!
Random car guy: How many special cars have you seen in person? And how many have you driven?
Shmee: Yes
They aren't cars for everyone but man these are so special, I can imagine how easy it is to excuse the old school gearbox, that sound is utterly spectacular, I remember the old Top Gear when Clarkson was testing one, that clip as well was really special.
Such a stunning collection...and the navy/cream Disco Volante Coupé is just an absolute dream car!
Thank you, Tim...truly.
One of the most beautiful & incredible cars, ever to have been featured on the Channel.
Those specific 4 Alfa Romeos are a huge and important piece on my dream garage (that I can't afford to buy even in diecast models). Those are not just cars, they are poetry, they are the Monalisas of the "'recent" years. I'd leave the F40s, F50s, 959s, 918s, Mclarens, Lambos, Bugattis and many other super and/or hyper cars to the ones without imagination, to the ones in a hurry. Mr. Owner, whoever you are, thank you very very much for allowing this video to be made and my very respectful congratulations for such good taste.
Huge congrats to the owner, thank you to allow tim to show this collection and thanks tim for filming it
Wow! Amazing cars collection! Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us! Keep it up!
That Spider oh my god.... The red on it is juste STUNNING, and the rear looks magical. Love that car
I think the DESCO VOLANTE is one of the most beautiful,if not the most beautiful car ever produced in the Twenty first century.I love the way it looks . Thank you Tim for such a nice review.
Really enjoyed seeing a new collection, the collections are always very intimate and have a sense of respect for the owners and their cars, great stuff, thanks for sharing!
OMG I cant believe this is the garage in Kitzbuehel, I was driving around one day and that garage was half open and I still remember that I was wondering what can be inside..thank you for showing this to us
Thanks so much to you Shmee and to the generous owner for sharing these stunning cars with all of us. Seeing these rare cars used on the roads is such a special treat. Be well
Thanks Shmee! You can hear the excitement in your voice. Such beautiful machines.
This has been by far my favorite video (so far) Tim... Thank you .
Glorious works of art! and the thundering sounds... oh man... AWESOME!
....what a mesmerizing sound, pure heaven, an italian's work of art
What fantastic sounding engines! I could see your eyes light up as you drove those cars. Mega experience! Thank you for sharing these cars with us.
Really appreciate these video showcasing these incredibly beautiful and rare cars, one of the strong points I am your fan, amazing content, thanks Tim
OMG! This is so sick! Love all this Alfas! So special and cool!
If the owner see this, please invite me and I can wash your floor in the garage for a week ! :)
Great video Shmee. Would like to see more of you visiting other people’s car collections like this. Your knowledge and enthusiasm makes it enjoyable for us gearheads!!! Cheers.
Absolutely beautiful video. This is just absolutely top notch content. Thank you so much. Its put a big smile on my face, can't imagine how happy you are driving it!
but smile on every reviewer driving any Alfa Romeo!!! The brand truly dedicated to driver's satisfaction!
You're in a Disco Volante following another Disco Volante... I don't think I could take my foot off the brake for fear of taking out two of these beautiful cars. You are a very lucky man. (And, yes, I do know the phrase "the harder you work, the luckier you are)!
Great to see these very special cars being driven! This is why I enjoy your channel so much, Tim! Greetings from Miami!
That is one lucky guy, that was fantastic you will never forget that day I hope he enjoys every moment good luck and well done.
Than, you for sharing these two unique Alfas and showing us the rest of the collection. Thank your host also for revealing such an outstanding garage and collection to your viewers.
Many thanks to the owner for the view into his collection and an impression of these beautiful machines. Truly aspirational content Mr. Burton.
I just want this car collection!!! Thanks Shmee for making this video❤️
Thank you for finally letting the camera roll and letting your viewing audience hear the sounds of such a gorgeous exhaust note! This is what most of us gear heads want to hear! Commentating is of course necessary but while driving its the cars that should be doing the talking.
Don’t know why any auto lover would not like these, they are beautiful! ❤️
Love the videos bub! Cheers!!
I was not even aware of this car. Thank you for introducing these beauties to me.
years later i can say that is the best car collection ever.
Beautiful machines & real quality videography, ty again Tim.
One of the things I love about shmee150 is that he can tell you car's name, story behind it and also how many were produced from miles away.....n that's why am here 2 learn from the best.
Lots of luv from RSA🇿🇦
Thanks for the support!
Very enjoyable vlog thx mate

Super beautiful car collection driving in some super beautiful countryside! Thanks Tim!!!
Nice one. The nicest styled car ever.

Sick collection. No matter how many different cars other people have out there. This combination is just sick.
Beautiful, beautiful cars. Thanks for sharing that. The garage is an awesome living room in itself. My wife can have the rest of the house..
What a video! Thank you Shmee
Another excellent video Tim hope to see more of the collection another time! 🙌
This is your all-time best video. What a sight and sound! Thanks so much to the owner too, who allowed this to happen. Who needs 1000hp for the road when you have a sound like that? Indeed, the full baby Jesus.
Awesome video. You are one lucky guy but hey I think sometimes you make your own. Thanks for all your hard work and giving something to us we could never see without your efforts. I prey you keep doing this stuff for a very long time. Cheers!
Ahhh that Spyder look.....ART TRUE ART!!!!

Amazing cars! Thank you for this!
That was just stunning! What a magnificent collection!
wow the stunning alfa Romeo disco valante its just stunning in every way its the prettiest car ever made along with the mini cooper and ginetta g55
Sometimes, I think your videos are a bit long, but for this one, I am pleased it was so long. What a pair of cars, what a lucky owner, and what taste in cars they have. Thanks for this audio and visual delight.
Amazing joyful sounds!!!
Also brought to mind a ‘007’ movie reference (Thunderball). 😁
Amazing... Thank you and please keep It going
It's funny watching Schmee when he gets really excited... He looks like his heads going to burst... I swear his head gets bigger the more excited he becomes... Great collection... Never even heard of a disco volante... That Mercedes looked amazing... Hope you go back for another look at that collection.
They are works of art and shmee I have to say this sir was a unbelievable video 💯🔥. Loved it cheers Andy from Manchester
Between your video and Jeremy’s back in 2014, this car is the second coming. Absolutely beautiful car!
Mr Tim you always entertain us from the first video of the r8 until the future your the best
A stunning looking collection, but the Disco Volantes are really beatifull. you don't get to see coachbuilding like this to often, so glad to see these two beauty's together in a video. the Aston Martin Zagato is also a really beautifull car. thanks Tim.
