Chris Harris introduces The Leonard Collection from Collecting Cars

[@jamesbg]

Chris Harris looking at car collections in a shed is my favourite KZbin sub-genre.

[@tonyosullivan2382]

Completely agree.

[@romerosneck]

Me too man...me too

[@jerisbradley9031]

I really really REALLY wish Chris Harris still did his own car reviews on a consistent basis. Man I love this guy

[@amyjeffs3269]

and yet the guy had to get counciling after taking torrents of abuse when he started to work on topgear. Just goes to show what a bunch of fkn idiots the UK public are.The man is a motoring UK tressure.Always loved everything about him.

[@CITRUS--]

Well here’s the thing, top gear shouldn’t have been touched again. Chris’ pieces with Neil that he puts out every now and again, completely shit on his top gear pieces. I do hope he’s being well compensated by bbc BUT I wish he just stayed on the internet and the BBC just killed top gear. I don’t like top gears chris Harris character, he will always be best in videos like this and CHOC.

[@cmdreffietrinket]

Agreed. Pointless beyond no point whatsoever. Disgraceful.

[@fredlabosch5164]

Absolutely agree, the way I perceive it, these are just some other 'investement commodities' in one big 'portfolio'. What an utter shame!

[@mattdedasc]

basically a collection of paintings. These will never be driven. Stunning but sad at the same time

[@phmwu7368]

Indeed what will this do value-wise as these cars will only be able to be driven on a private circuit, due to 2028 legislation and Low Emission Zones, etc...

[@misorodzinak8829]

Exactly. These are machines engineered to deliver the ultimate driving pleasure, but their potential is not being used. To use an analogy - what is a musical instrument good for, if it isn't being played?

[@deadjumpers87]

It's not like I can afford to have a parked Porsche or a driven one but I totally agree. Porsches for me look better used, the beauty of the new or low milage ones is their potencial to be driven and enjoyed, unfortunately like a lot of great things these days their value susperceeds their owners desire to drive them and they end up falling into the investement catagory. I always think, If we were all able to look into the far future we would see that all these cars will one day ceast to exist so why not use and enjoy them whilst you can? Although in England these days driving on public roads is torture so I probably wouldn't use them either....

[@jontymo]

WOW, I love these Cris Harris videos when he walks around with his jaw on the floor - nearly as good as the 80's collection he did!

Please stop asking for regulators to take away fast cars from us, it doesn't make you seem "forward thinking". It is one of the last free things we have. Matt Farah always talks about it, I've heard Jethro Bovington say it and now Chris. These guys call for more regulation to look responsible and caring but then are the first people to break the speed limit laws we already have in place. Hypocrisy at its finest.

It's till the ugly duckling of 'modern' Porsches but when I see them on the roads these days they look better every time. Remember when no-one liked 964's? now they go for ridiculous money.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on....So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called "Abgasbespaßung". :-(((

[@robertely686]

Funny how these cars used to be owned by poor enthusiasts that could afford to drive them on track days and on the road. Today they're owned by millionaires that can't afford to drive them so they sit stationary unused.

[@robertely686]

@freepieanchipsgarage really. What does 'zero mileage' mean. If not zero, doesn't it mean very low? 6,000 miles in 20 years suggests low usage too. Also, how does inheriting 'high wealth' or a business make you 'responsible'? I know someone who looks after collections. Their customers pay 12k without question for a pair of carbon side skirts on a Ferrari, then beat him down for 6 months worth of work. And a teenager who takes that Fiesta on a track day is actually taking a larger financial threat than a Ferrari owner does - he can't afford to go to work the next day if it fails. This industry has become beset by lazy show offs, who despite possibly creating a business or something constructive at some point in their life, have now decided to sit back and live off other people's money in the form of an investment bubble, be it housing or classic cars. It's a contagious disease so now there's loads of people who used to have a Porsche on the driveway that now tuck it up in a garage, don't drive it and tell themselves they're some sort of historian. Or lower than that, a load of debt slaves with Stockholm syndrome that won't actually own a car or house of their own for 40 years but talk as though they are investment gurus because they haven't had an individual thought since leaving school but want to appear to be a 'success'.

[@robertely686]

@freepieanchipsgarage actually if you go on a track day, you'll find lots of teenagers with Fiestas and bangers. You might find one Ferrari. I may only have five cars myself but at least I own all of them. I may also be low income compared to you, but I only work a 2 day week. The other 5 days I spend working on or driving cars, or doing things I enjoy. Luckily I have my own small business and I prefer to invest in myself rather than government backed pyramid schemes or other peoples work and money. I often get called a socialist for being mildly critical of the establishment - it's normally by people who are dependent on socialism themselves - when it comes to them borrowing money from banks (backed by government and other peoples money), investing in the stock market (backed by government and other peoples money) or the housing market (backed by government and other peoples money). The biggest socialists of all are people that use the financial system to earn money. Making money from not using something - that sounds like the opposite of capitalism to me. Good luck with it though.

[@realdata1378]

the 911 is the poor man's 928. the 928 won two Bonneville Salt Flats fasted production land car (1986 and 2020). the 928 is the only sports car to win European Car of the Year. the 928 is the biggest bang for the buck in exotic sports/poster cars as well as the entire Porsche classic car line up. Even Magnus Walker is quietly building his 928 collection. the 964 is 40/60 weighth distribution and fish tails - not the 50/50 weight distrubted 928. While a grand tourer, the mid/high torque 928 is a more complete car as the 911 doesn't has less horsepower than the 928 and even today, classic porsche enthusiasts do not value off the line speed even for the 911. and Porsche made a tenth of 928s than they made 911s. No disrepect - just calling balls and strikes. Its now or never for the 928.

Wow, Chris Harris with the sensible take on firearms ownership in Britain, I didn't expect that. If you can buy a million horsepower Porsche (and you should be able to), you should be able to buy an "assault" rifle, which is a meaningless term that translated simply means "the scary one from the movies that morons think is fully automatic". Also, to me, while I love these videos that is just one big honking shed full of gorgeous works of art that no one will ever get to see. If you're in a position to buy cars like this, you owe it to yourself, us car enthusiasts who can't, and the people who built them to actually *driiiive* the effing things. These are not investments. It bothers me that they're now valuable enough to be considered as such, but if you want to invest buy real estate, crypto, and stocks. I hope you make a fortune. But every time someone buys a classic car with 15 miles on it, values for every car even remotely similar jump up by several per cent. Absolute shame : /

I think there should be a law that if you drive one of these either less than 5k miles per annum or can show evidence of 5 proper track days per year for the first 20 years of their life, you should be forced to give (not sell) them back.
