I was recently invited to visit GTO Engineering, a British Ferrari specialist that refurbishes classic Ferraris, but also builds new examples. The car driven here, known as the 250 SWB Revival, is a so-called tool-room copy of the original 250 Short Wheelbase – meaning it's exactly like the original in all the ways that matter (beautiful, isn't it?) but offers modern reliability, and options like a larger Colombo V12 engine, upgraded gearbox and brakes, USB charging for your phone, and even air conditioning. • Or, GTO Engineering can build your 250 SWB Revival as a stripped-out racer, complete with roll cage, fire extinguisher and racing gearbox. The Revival is built almost entirely from scratch, using original Ferrari drawings, then adopts the identity of a donor vehicle, usually of a similar vintage but which is no longer roadworthy. • I had a few hours with this magnificent car, on what may have been the hottest day of the year (I apologise for my appearance). Also, I promise I'm not harassing the Golf R ahead – that's the camera car and my navigation/guidance system. • Filming this was all a bit rushed and with just a couple of GoPros, so the quality isn't all that. Nevertheless, I wanted to share a portion of this life-affirming drive, and record THAT V12 soundtrack. • The still photography was provided by the excellent Mark Riccioni.
