    I stumbled across this YouTube video this evening.
    Ivan Dutton, a renown Bugatti dealer, who has been about forever, has bought a 308GTB with the intention of entering the FOC Hillclimb series in the UK, providing he can get a licence. He did a lot of saloon car racing in his time and it shows

    The channel 'Shed Racing' has some great content about old cars in general and he's quite a character

    First impression of the car:


    A trip to a car show in the 308


    Trackday in a Lotus 7, a car which he first worked on when he was 17

    I recall seeing his Bugatti ads in the back of the old MotorSport issues.

    Thanks Andy for bringing Shed Racing to my attention, I'm probably way behind the curve but it's brilliant stuff. Ivan, what a star !
    As someone else said, I remember all the adverts as well, particularly Rod Leach's ads as they were always big ads.

    The latest episode


    Ivan decides that the aircon doesn't work and he doesn't want it anyway. As part of the removal process, he comes out with some home truths about the Ferrari's build quality. His comparison to Porsches of the same era rings true.
    One thing leads to another, in scenes most us will be very familiar with, and a rebuild commences.
    It's a lot of fun
