Annual Harry's Garage round-up. Plus what I spent in 2023 on restorations, servicing & insurance

[@andrewcbartlett]

Harry is singlehandedly keeping the British Car Maintenance Industry in business.

[@dbx3197]

The Testarossa bodywork at Prestige is an absolute bargain considering how good it looks.

[@vevey75]

Amazing job by the guys at prestige. One of my favourite vids from the year.

[@stuffhappens5681]

It is hard to believe all that work wasn’t twice the price!

[@frankchan5547]

Even that's an understatement. The work easily demanded twice or thrice that!

[@richardcarter1000]

Agreed. They did a great job for that

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

@@richardcarter1000 I hope they get many interested clients out of it - I would

[@SigMan66]

No bragging, not flaunting....just what he did and what he spent. We all know Harry is wealthy and he doesn't make it a thing, that's one of his best qualities. Some say British auto journalists are snobs...never got that from Harry at all. Great episode!

[@av8bvma513]

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HONESTY. Honesty, Generosity, Enthusiasm. One Englishman. Harry Metcalfe Bravo! Well Done, That Chap!

[@rideepicdriveepic]

Thanks for giving us a detailed reality check on owning these machines Harry. Happy new year and to many more of these videos!

[@MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

I had to watch that opening of the testarossa about 10 times before reaching Harry's round up. What a peachy sound.

[@ronpatrick9836]

Pretty ballsy of you to talk about the nitty-gritty of specialty car ownership. This openness makes your postings so valuable and relevant. Thank you. You're a real person!

[@alansorbie4038]

Fascinating to understand the costs involved in running a fleet like this. I recently added up all the bills for my old 911, £30000 in maintenance over 120k miles since it was new in 2004. Almost the same as the fuel bills!

[@RobertRedford77]

I've had 2 Mondeo Mk3 diesels, bought them for 70k mls each at £4k...took them to 440k each...just a clutch each...exhaust bk box and my own oil changes....bargain for me....poor engineering/build on these cars

[@padraigmcinerney412]

£1,500 a year for what seems to be a car that is driven to be enjoyed as well as a daily driver seems like good value. I’m sure that others would baulk at the cost but we all need an outlet/hobby-some of which cost considerably more.

[@LawrenceTimme]

That sound pretty cheap per mile.

[@lachlanbrown409]

@@RobertRedford77 im curious - you bought at 70 K miles for 4K GBP? Thats good going mate.

[@RobertRedford77]

@@lachlanbrown409 Base LX models. Just needed a 6spd box and a heated windscreen. Ford parts were cheap.

[@johnmunro4952]

Ah Harry, still living the dream. Lovely stuff. I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

[@benbuchanan672]

Thanks Harry for another interesting, transparent insight! People pay £7000 to insure just one Range Rover in London…

[@TheBroz]

I’m astonished how fair that insurance cost seemed to be.

[@leehayes70]

Imagine flicking the lights on and walking into that garage in the morning. Chair, cup of tea. Day done. Thank you 🙏

[@dinkokolic4386]

Hey Harry, since all your material desires have already been fulfilled, I wish you and your family good health to enjoy your toys in the coming year. Greetings from Croatia

[@jonnowocky8179]

Testarossa seems the sweet spot between outlay and reward to me, great to see it looking and sounding so sharp and tidy now. Unreal cost on the Countach which makes me think there can only be a handful in the world running and riding as well at that one now…

[@PaulabJohnson]

Thanks for the great content tgroughout the year Harry. Great to see Charlie taking a more active role too!

[@YusssoM]

2000 miles on the zagato must've been a joy! Light and agile car with that screaming engine, perfect for ripping through B roads. Looking forward for the F50 video and the german trip, wish you a good year 2024 Harry!

[@AleksandrHalas]

A new year means new hope, new light, new encounters and new paths to happiness. All the best! A happy and wonderful new year 2024

[@phils2180]

Probably the fittest Countach and the fittest Testarossa but certainly the fittest, most sorted and useable XJC! What a beauty!👍👍 Quite a stable there and all well maintained and ready to use at a moments notice which is nice to see.😀👍

[@andreamedda9380]

Maybe the only fit, sorted and usable xjc v12 manual😂

[@orangelip1]

Watched for a few years now… a KZbin staple.. thanks for sharing Harry

[@GTSCarLife]

Happy New Year to you and your Family Harry! Looking forward to seeing you next year!

[@judebrown2672]

Great video as always can't believe where the year has gone. See you in 24. Looking forward to the fiat 500 travels.

[@sean6908]

Hey Harry - been watching your videos for years, huge fan. Thanks for the update, it's great to see you love your cars as much as we do and hope you keep it up as it's worth it!!

[@Robjess100]

Great Vid Harry. It’s so nice to watch an honest video. Not the Click-bate, BS nonsense others do. The best Car KZbinr by far. Looking forward to 2024 👍😊

[@herfstautumn-ur3nm]

Thank you Harry for sharing this amazing collection and passing on the knowledge and expertise of both yourself and the specialists who help keep these automotive creations roadworthy and useable.

[@gp92510]

Harry...we cannot thank you enough...for DOING IT RIGHT, BY DAMN...!! BANG THE COST!! You're a hero...a true hero...

[@noelht1]

God I love Harry! I’d love to go for a pot of tea with him. Fascinating guy straight down the middle and honest as the day is long!

[@michaelfk2548]

Not too shabby !...Big thumbs up

[@jonathangould1255]

Money well spent. Super collection.

[@robt8263]

I could not afford one of your cars but I love how you share your experience of owning your exotic cars and your experiences with them makes us feel like we are part of an exclusive group via You tube of course. Looking forward to your experiences in 2024

[@richardwells1709]

Happy New year to everyone

[@G2020-]

I love the honest nature of these videos absolutely fantastic. I dream of being anywhere near this rich!

[@nickg2027]

the countach bill was one to wince at!! but what an example you now have!! Thanks Harry been another great year. I saw you at Boxengasse but didn't have the guts to say hi and when I finally plucked up the courage you disappeared! Keep the content coming, thanks again

[@FREEDOOOOM]

Wow. I wish, life was as good to all of us as it is to you. Good on you. God bless, Harry.

[@seancockram237]

All I can say is thank you Harry and enjoy your wonderful collection.

Happy New Year Harry, your family and to your Subscribers

[@TheRobertlonski]

Happy New Year Harry. I look forward to your annual Garage Round-Up videos. Back in the day I was a big fan of EVO, I am happy that you have kept the EVO-vibe going with your KZbin channel.

[@fivedotsdave9723]

Harry, that is the best filled garage and the best rundown I had seen in manys a year, very well down.

[@jonathangammond3019]

Harry is certainly doing his bit to keep top notch garage mechanics in work.

[@splodge57]

Bargain on your insurance. I find Footman James a joy to deal with insuring my four classic bikes.😊

[@philipriley7008]

Great video Harry as always. I can fully understand 37 years of Elan ownership, I am now approaching 39 years. Runs all year.

[@ronschwolsky1626]

Ah yes, maintenance costs. Thanks for reminding me one of the reasons why I only own 3 cars. As far as insurance costs, that seems dirt cheap! Well done. Best to Harry & family, and to all of the other viewers too for a wonderful, happy and healthy 2024 for all of us!! Cheers!

[@nissanoo0393]

haha 3 is still 2 more to enjoy than 1 😊

[@alechall7082]

The Rolls is fine as is, Harry. Get that bigger engine if it comes to it, but some smoke out the back of a Silver Shadow just adds a bit of character!

[@roncraig617]

I appreciate the fact that you are preserving these classics for the next generation - kudos to you Harry, and all the very best for 2024.

[@Simon_PieMan]

Great video. Was just thinking, if I could only save one from a fire, it’d be the XJ Coupe. Love it.

[@P.Galore]

Approaching 1 million subscribers between the Garage and Farm channel, Harry can well-afford maintaining these wonderful collection! Happy New Year Charlie, Harry & Invisible Wife!

Harry’s garage, single-handedly driving the British economy.Happy New Year Harry.🎉

[@peterduxbury927]

Every time that I see Harry's lovely Silver Shadow, I swear that I want to get out the Tools, and re-align that front Chrome Bumper, the part that wraps around the offside Wing. The Arctic trip was something very special (to me), and exceeds almost every other adventure. For an Ebay Buy, it's an exceptional vehicle, and so glad that Harry loves it too!

[@richardpiggott5531]

Thanks Harry, re the Yaris I too had PS4s issues so went Michelin Cross Climate 2s, have been brilliant on our leaf strewn flooded potholed roads! I’m no track day hero so for now am loving the rally/MTB feel and also they are European Alpine resort compliant for Jan ski trip. As my only car it’s just great, glad you have one. 😊

[@TheCabrooster11]

Thanks for making some of the best car content on KZbin with the most eclectic mix of cars hopefully with “plenty more coming along very soon “😉

[@WilliamPhelps-t9b]

A superb round up as always Mr M. Whilst the cost of keeping these classics in such fabulous condition is eye-watering, the care lavished on them is a delight to behold. Well done, sir!

Love all your videos, Harry! My Sunday is always improved knowing I a end of week release, then you moved to two a week! Which has been great, Thanks for the detailed report here and being open with the books, I would say for your collection that doesn't seem that high! Best thing about old cars is no expensive sensors!

From Los Angeles, California, great video and Happy New Year to you and your family. Your Rolls needs some love and attention in 2024. I fondly remember your trek up to the arctic circle in the snow with an occasional moose crossing the road, adjusting the point gap and washing it in subzero temps. Drive safe and take care.

Shame about the 1954 Land Rover 86-Inch, Harry. That model was an iconic car to complement your collection. And no word on the old early 350 SL. Keep up the great work. Thank you so much for your videos - they're fantastic. (I know you've said in the past that you don't read or reply to comments after a few days of posting, but we love your channel Harry - don't stop doing them!) Kind regards.

Happy New Year Harry and family! Watching the restoration work on your cars is my favorite part of this channel. Time for a new project??

[@chrisslater3174]

I agree. It was a bit disappointing to hear him say he shouldn't have to spend like he has done going forward, as I do enjoy tagging along with the progress as his cars get the VIP treatment. 😁

[@richardprice6488]

A fascinating summary of the annual costs of your cars. I look forward in eager anticipation of another year of Harry’s Garage. Your channel is always a must-go to every Sunday. Never disappointed. Likewise, Harry’s Farm is another must. My wife always watches and would like more, please. Maybe we missed your solar panel installation update and wonder how many barns now sport them. Wishing you, family and team a very happy, healthy and successful 2024.

[@krob-sn7ek]

Awesome Harry !! I would love an episode on all your 2 wheelers, your in-depth info is marvelous!

[@cdg3818]

Tremendous stuff. The bill on the Countach brings home there is no running these (properly) on a shoestring budget. Good you can do it properly. Be interesting to see if you plan to move anything on, maybe the Yaris before it starts becoming more problematic.

[@petemartin7589]

Fantastic video as always. I really like the round up every year. Agree with the C-TEK chargers. Always put my SL back on charge every time I park it back in the garage.

[@wwilll]

Great video, always enjoy Sunday evenings watching Harry’s Garage, not a cheap hobby though is it.

[@ib141]

What an incredible garage you have, cannot really believe that there are many others in better condition out there. The Jag, Testarosa and Countach are exceptional. I do love these videos
