"Bloody love this thing!"

I think we all would

"This car is a relevation!"

He says that twice! and once you've heard Diabalo you can't unhear it...

Looking forward to his latest offering, I love these

Oooh, me too

I wondered if he might drive an Ultima at some point, or if they were too low brow for his tastes

Lovely

Lovely indeed.

I've seen him wear Valentino trainers, anything could be on the cards

I've clearly spent too much time in Lotus's because I spent a good chunk of that video wondering how much of an issue water ingress would be on that door with that design.... That, and wondering if the door lifts slightly before it opens to get door 'tops' to swing over the top of the rear of the roof panel? Or does the rear just slope down more than I thought?

Enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.

Interesting way to pay for the fix

A very interesting watch. The cost of insurance seemed very reasonable, IMO, considering it’s all those cars and bikes, fully covered for all 4 Metcalfes

The huge delta in running costs is interesting too

The wonders of being sponsored by an insurance company

I imagine being sponsored just means he didn't pay for the insurance, rather than the quote being inaccurate or unrealistic, otherwise what's the point of mentioning it?

"Hello, I also have about two dozen cars and bikes, about half of them historic and most of them older ones, all securely stored, etc"

"That'll be twenty grand"

"You wot?"

It’s hybrid not hybred!!! Arrgghhh

Love these insight videos.



That XJ Coupe looks better and better to me, made the F-Type Project F Typo next to it seem very meh.

Wintering in an original Elan and Esprit, what a fucking legend.

Epic man maths on the Espada


McLaren 720? covered hiding next to the Huracan and a newish Ferrari under a green cover next to the Clio?

He stores cars for other people, he has another Countach in there too.

For the XJC, I can't help thinking that cleaning up the metalwork and then wrapping it might make more sense than a full interior out respray, but I imagine it depends on how pedantic Harry is about these things; if it's just to make it more presentable, then it'd be worth it.

If it wants to be it's final look, then going the whole hog does make more sense.

I don't image Harry is a vinyl wrap kinda guy, though.

I was very excited to see this too - I am hoping for a reconstruction of one of the most powerful vehicular images of my childhood - Harry had better have the tippex ready.



I thought tbe insurance quote sounded pretty amazing too for that many vehicles, although I assume his sprogs arent covered for the Jar etc.

Hell yes!

Insurance wise I imagine is very limited miles on some of those cars. Although Harry casually admitting to putting 9k on to the Jag with a 6k policy seems to be setting himself up for a slight adjustment come renewal time.
