Silverstone Auctions 2019 NEC Classic Motor Show preview

[@pkrissz]

I love this channel so much. I'm the kind of guy who will never be able to afford any of these cars, but the pure passion and enthusiasm radiating from Harry is so nice to watch, and also these previews are really interesting and informative.

I'm the kind of guy who will never be able to afford any of these cars? lol a fellow pauper?

[@danielmarshall4587]

EXACTLY ... great channel.

[@mr.airgun6921]

Me too. I’m lucky enough to work on Classic ferraris/Aston/detamaso etc and often find myself thinking “well I can only charge 4 hours as I spent 1/2 an hour staring at the 365BB engine bay dreaming today” 😆 It’s nice to see these vids as it gives you a fix. But what I will say to anyone who thinks they’re missing out is, you’re really not. Honestly you’ll have as much fun in a 172 clio as anything here. My best motoring memories are from a mk1 golf & I’ve had skyline GTR’s, Evo’s, clio V6, rx7, imprezas, m3’s, 944Turbo etc. No I haven’t owned any classic exotica but I’ve been around them enough and been driven in them a lot to know they’re nice to stand back and look at!

[@ianrutherford878]

Yeah and he has a very natural style .I'm easily irritated by hype and odd traits that presenters often exhibit.He is a pleasure to listen to and watch.I find myself smiling and genuinely interested in what he has to say.

[@mr.zehaha4960]

Always fascinated when Harry do this auction previews

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

He is simply a fascinating guy.

[@mohammadrasoulfard-habibi3066]

His car knowledge is insane. Class fella.

[@jackiechan8840]

I'd love to see follow up vids too! Did this or that go for silly money, or did something go for an absolute bargain.

[@johncollymore1697]

Yes, love these videos (as per all Harry's videos), and a joy to listen to his expert and such enthusiastic car-nut commentary - who just knows his stuff! Plus, he knows two people with a DBR1! And that '78 Landcruiser FJ40 - wow - the car that knocked out The Landie in the export market! Many thanks Harry.

[@sgtc4538]

Great cars featured by the best car reviewer - but interesting cars in the background too. 6:41 nice hi-top 'crew' Transit 3rd generation facelift. 18:26 nice looking 80-inch. And a 1950 DB2...!

[@jimhutton4352]

That Dolphin Grey 325is is beautiful. What a blast from the past

[@joebloggs4191]

I thought it was Lachs Silver

[@joebloggs4191]

Actually we are both wrong! Its Granite Silver! (special order colour)

[@cloterico]

Here in Portugal we have the e30 320IS. It was a version only for Italy and Portugal. M3 Engine with reduced capacity to 2 litre and 192hp. Very rare and expensive.

[@slotec]

@@cloterico that's the e30 I would love to have .

[@cookop1]

that was 20 mins well spent, cheers harry

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Wouldn’t be too surprised if Harry presents a new car in the garage in a week or two. That V12 Vantage made him shiver,,,, 😃

[@mohammadrasoulfard-habibi3066]

These are always class when he does these auctions.

[@unrealeck]

Will the BMW E30 ever age? Such a cool looking car.

[@philcarroll9896]

It sold for £51,188

Those frog-eyed sprites, I feel happier just to have seen their smiling faces.

[@atastefortheroad4475]

They do look like they'd be wonderful to drive on a Sunday afternoon.

[@4ndyr0g3r50n]

We should see more of that sort of thing in today's automotive design. The "aggressive" thing has had its day really.

[@bobmartin5101]

I was a 20 year old car dealer in the 80's. I feel very lucky to have a driven a lot of superb 80's cars, so this was a quick nostalgia trip....thanks.

[@pereldh5741]

Harry I know you’re not an Alfa-man thru&thru, but at least you could have told us the Alfa Montreal has a V8!

[@paredding]

Restoration! Montreal just needs a wash and an oily rag...lovely. Nearly bought the A610 after a Telegraph drive day with Tim Harvey in 1993 (he was driving Renaults in the BTCC back then). Was a wonderful car esp in yellow. But stuck to my guns and got the UR Quattro. The pale blue Sprite made me smile; back in the 70's, I took the Airfix body and transferred it to a Riko chassis and ran it on the Scalextric...great fun. Toyota FJ40 were an icon in Australia - used to build all the big dams back in the 60s and 70s. Set the reputation for all the Landcruisers that followed. And that 325i - just perfect, colour, both sets of wheels and H plate. Considering an H URQ is now 45-85k, I was thinking 70k so when he said 38k....bargain. And the 325i Touring was the estate to have in the 90s. Like Harry. love how auto stuff becomes the diary to one's life

[@mrmoss149]

Harry- your knowledge & enthusiasm knows no bounds. Brilliantly done, sir. Many thanks. Cheers

[@StevenBrown-qu2yl]

Loved the Montreal, it would be nice to see Hary do a rebuild series on that. The Porsche 928GT looks like it needs a serious paint correction IMO

[@jamesrobert4106]

The Montreal is also one of the finest sounding cars ever made.

[@felixarbable]

50k for the v12 vantage seems like a steal

[@rob390929]

High mileage for that price surely.

There's is nothing better than a new episode of Harry's Garage.. and a cup of tea.. thanks Harry.

[@dylanh1978]

Noble M600 is one of my all time favourite, unbelievable car, so rare, so cool, so under valued. Want.

[@MobileMartyn]

Harry is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This channel is top quality!

[@LOTUSELISE340R]

Very cool to learn about the VW XL1. All this time I thought it was simply a concept, and had no idea VW actually produced it for a limited run. Those doors, the looks, the MPG...what a machine! Can't beat the price on that special M600, either. Great work as always, Harry.

[@johnsmith1474]

V12 Vantage: "I know no one who's owned one who hasn't enjoyed it ..." ahem I never would have guessed that.

[@2006gtobob]

The A.M. was a favorite of mine as a kid. I loved how brutally powerful it looked in my eyes then and now. A fantastic British muscle car.

[@bandagefreak]

Another fabulous presentation, Harry - you're the Clarkson we SHOULD have had and not the clown that we got! Takes me right back to the Woollard days of presentation and I mean that in every complimentary way! Keep up the great work.

[@dreammfyre]

10:35 Those are the happiest looking cars I've ever seen. EDIT: And 20K? That feels like a bargain to me. Small, neat cars in general feels like a safe bet to me. They'll only go up in value.

[@Kapil-Patel]

(OO=[ ][ ]=OO) E30 was and still is my favourite BMW design of all time. Thank you for sharing Harry.

[@phamnuwen9442]

Lol, well done! I agree that E30 is gorgeous.

[@gtek8021]

Beautifully presented Harry thanks as always.

[@emilianosc335]

The AR Montreal had a 2.6 V8 not v6, or did I misunderstand what what you were saying?

[@weedfarmer2005]

emiliano first thing i thought!! He deffo said v6

[@felixarbable]

amazing v8 too, one of the best sounding ones out there

[@randomsurfer3963]

It's a V8 indeed. Somehow, I feel the Montreal would look so at home in Harry's garage, hopefully he'll put a bid for it :) From the side view it reminds me of the Miura so much.

[@wivaquif]

7.47 there is a nice looking transit in the background, with the extremely, must have raised roof option. One for the bucket list !

[@Strike86]

That bright green '71 Roadrunner in the corner is my pick of the whole lot. One of my dream cars. I can't wait to see that in person tomorrow. Also, wow. The state of the paint on some of these cars is shocking. That 928 is smothered in buffer trails and holograms.

[@jeffharper6259]

Thanks Harry for showing me automobiles I would otherwise never see, a real treat that I sincerely appreciate. And gosh these cars were all creme-de-la-creme and detailed to the nines imho.

[@davevandyk2988]

The entire time during the beginning, I was just watching the Knight Rider car ready to light up a red bar in the front and say, "Excuse me Harry, but would you mind introducing me?"

[@FrankBarryLuv]

Just saw a pristine model of the Montreal today in a lightish green near Munich.

[@nickstatham1841]

Those 325 sport are a fantastic car. Had a dolphin grey one. Wish he’d done more on the 944 turbo. Very underrated car

[@markbriggs5531]

What a wonderful video. Even though I have but 25p in my piggy bank and I'm more of an every day motorist, Harry's enthusiasm and warmth shone through to make a video that I would not normally view. I shall look out for more.

[@Willyfarns]

Harry you tease !! These videos need to be 45min or longer! Would love to see more of these amazing & interesting cars in these auctions. 👍👍

[@sbsb4995]

The best looking car in this episode is the Aston Martin Oscar India. I think you should do an episode on it.

[@muzman777]

V8 Aston, Toyota Land Cruiser, and the 2 Frog Eyed Sprite's. Job done. Great stuff Harry. The Focus RS still looks great. Colin McRae's WRC Focus at the time, some big crashes. Damn, he was fast in it.

That Carbon Sport would be top of my lottery win purchase list.

The Yamaha 4.4 V8 in the Noble was the engine that Volvo put in the top of the range XC90, which I once owned. It was a great drive and I believe that Clarkson had two of them. Last time I saw an Alfa Montreal was in Italy, just outside Sorrento, where it looked very much at home.

[@lewis72]

2:00 Err, it's a V8, isn't it ? 8:08 "Osca India" was from it being introduced on October 1st (tenuous, I know) and relates to the higher bootlid profile as opposed to the earlier sloping one. In real terms, £140k-£160k today must be less than what it cost in 1984.

[@TBendez]

Funny thing about the Nobles engine. Yes, it was in Volvos (XC90 gen 1 and S80 gen 2) and it was manufactured and developed by Yamaha. A manufacturer known for bike and boat engines alike, engines really exposed to the elements. Yet, the 4.4 ltr V8 in the Volvos had some really horrible problems with the balance shafts rusting out due to it not being sealed up enough, to the elements, nor having the proper metal treatments to prevent it. The '84 Aston Martin V8 is my pick of the bunch!
