I love the way he casually says “it belongs to a local farmer”

Farmer…..and Billionaire owner of JCB!

Haha! Yeah, none of the Farmers I know have that sort of stable…

I've only watched the first 10 minutes or so, so far.

I would have never guessed that he's owned it since 1969 or thereabouts.

It's always amazing to look back and see that a lot of the ultimate collector cars nowadays, were just cars back then.

Imagine walking down your local street and just casually seeing a McLaren F1 or Ferrari Enzo, just parked up on the footpath!!

The best car Baron Bamford owns is the Yellow Porsche 911 2.7rs Lightweight that was rallied by our Irish Legend Dessie McCartney in the 70’s

Now registered as JCB123

Just finished watching it, what a bloody epic piece of mechanical work of art that is, and that V12......

The car is just sublime. Imagine being in that convoy Francis, 2 GTO's, a 250 Testarossa and a D-Type, Mr M is a very lucky chap.. An experience of a lifetime.

You can tell how special it was by Harrys reaction as he drove along.

He is obviously pretty used to rolling in those upper echelons and has driven any
number of unobtanium cars over the years.

So to see his reactions really tells you how much of an event it was, even for someone like him.

Would certainly make a good basis for Groundhog Day wouldn't it Ed
