Hi Johnny, was watching this episode and I'm 99.9 % sure that's my dads old Espada. Had the exact same phone and sold it with engine issues. He bought it off an Arab prince in 1988. I believe it was originally Green and the prince had it re painted (Rolls Royce colour I think). My dad let me and my brother drive it, we were 17 and 18 at the time, very lucky boys lol.. I've sent the link to this episode to my dad.

Amazing to see my old Fiat 126. I was wondering where it ended up! I bought the orange 126 from a Polish guy called Jan in Berkshire after he brought it to England, I then took it to Kent and I got it registered with the DVLA and was using it as my daily around Tunbridge Wells. I can’t remember who I sold it to, but it used to run like a Swiss watch. Amazing little car. I’ve had several since. Amazing to see it again, keep up the good work!

Such a wonderful eclectic mix of cars and bikes. 70's Italian supercars and GT cars have a style like nothing else. The Jordan Civic is interesting, I actually have a Sparco jacket which Is a replica of Damon Hills Jordan F1 racing overalls. Love the Fiat 126 as well. My Aunti had an air cooled 126 and later the water cooled 126BIS hatchback. The little MK2 Clio 172 Cup caught my eye. When I had my second MK2 Clio which was a Y reg phase 2 I was invited to a dealership for the Megane 2 and Clio 172 Cup launch. I ended up with the Mégane but I did have a guy I was giving advanced driver training who owned a Clio 182 in this shade of blue. I think the MK2 RS Clio represents the last real hot hatch bargain at the moment.

Great chap and a wonderful collection. I love that he wrenches them himself (as much as he can I guess) and a huge part of owning them is the sentimentality, not just the HP and rarity. Loving the bikes as well, always great to see when both cars and bikes are featured. (Jonny, I bet you could find a chap that has cars, bikes and boats or planes. All great things with nice engines) Do enjoy that MST Escort when you get it!

Totally agree with you on the Renault Jonny, I’d probably never buy one but it’s definitely the nicest era. I also owned one of those preludes too and would like it back, great little car.

When the camera panned to those two cars I was waving at the screen like a kid. The prelude was my first car back in the 90's and I currently have a 182 Cup in the driveway. Steve has excellent taste in cars.

Great video thanks. This is how a collection should be, for all the right (emotional) reasons rather than a full on Willy Wave. My late Aunt had the same Prelude brand new aged 50! (Replaced her 528i) If I could I'd have loved to do the same with my families historic cars.

Depending how big the field is, a cheap metal detector and an afternoon for Steve ,Emma and the dogs, might source a spare key for a 911 with an interesting back story 👍

What a cool garage! I hope he can get the Prelude restored, they're a fantastic motor and have always wanted one. Great video Jonny, what an eclectic mix of cars.
