Has anyone here submitted a video for his "projects of the people"? I did earlier. It was probably st but I didn't want to think about it too much and chicken out. Just me pointing my phone at my bikes and saying whatever popped into my head for 2 minutes. Doubt it'll make the channel but it was a fun thing to do.

Great car and vid
Always amazes me how folk fill up their garage/shed/house to the point you can’t get to the thing they’re protecting!
Worked out well this time though

Love the Vitesse.

Anyone any idea what it is worth, as it is ?

I’d guess £5-10k?
After that long laid up it will need a thorough recommissioning.
Low mileage, interior looked good and seemingly very little rust and know history would make it a desirable car to put some effort into.

It’s got to be worth £15k as it is. Absolute basket case Vitesses fetch £5k-£8k on eBay auctions whenever they come up, depending on colour, spec etc.

What year did they go to the deep front spoiler? I always just assumed all the twin plenums had them.

Such an impressive car back in their day.

Also, it’s as good an excuse as any to watch the liver run again...

that was for the homologation model I think at the end of the production? twin plenum and deep spoiler

Always wished they’d done a 3 door, it would have looked amazing.

It was a great episode. Time warp interior was fabulous. Bucket list car for me.

Jonny is highly watchable.

Unlike most YouTubers, his professional background and genuine knowledge and enthusiasm combine to create very engaging and informative videos.

His interview with Plato and Neal a while back was great - I’m sure it helped that he had a working relationship with Plato, but you really got to understand the psyche of racing drivers and their personalities. In contrast to many YouTubers, Jonny let his subjects speak without interruption. Plato revealed a side of his character I hadn’t seen before. Surely the mark of a skilled interviewer.
