250 GT LWB TdF #0585GT Compared with F12 TdF at DK Engineering + Other Great Cars Seen.

As per the title Mr JWW compares his F12 TdF to 1956 250 GT LWB TdF #0585GT with James Cottingham of DK Engineering, giving the history of the car. The place is full of fantastic cars as is well known. Mr JWW is then left on his own to show us around, without James.

Also seen are many modern classics, a glimpse of a 250 LM, a beautiful factory restored ex Beryl Reid Aston Martin DB5 Convertible, a RHD 250 GTO, that I'm certain is a replica, and what is described by Mr JWW as a 250 TdF, bodyless with exposed chassis and engine/drivetrain, but surely must be a "street 250 GT" with LWB Tipo 508 chassis due to it having disc brakes and a single 12 lead distributor.

 

James's opinion why he considers the

Looks like your pic of the F12 TdF that matches 0585GT was also taken at DK Engineering.

 

Do both cars have the same owner?

 

Meant to say here that from the video it's interesting that in James' opinion the TdFs start with the 14 Louvre cars, and not the No Louvre cars. De Portago and Nelson won the 1956 Tour de France in No Louvre 250 GT LWB Berlinetta 0557GT. I wonder if he considers any of the Zagato bodied 250 GT LWB cars made after the 1956 Tour de France win to be TdFs?
