Thank you very much for all the kind comments. It’s hugely appreciated. Really chuffed to have joined the fabulous Hagerty roster of presenters.

[@markthibault8579]

Congrats, Henry. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Well done!

[@jonathanmillar]

Always a pleasure watching your videos, Henry. The passion and joy really comes through and it's just such a pleasure to have content like this from you. Also, the production of this (like all the Hegarty stuff at the moment) is exceptional, well done to the filming and editing folks.

[@seinfeld11123]

ive always loved the Mk1 escorts mate. you are right about how they just love to slide ever so mildly and controllably. I remember well. I was in my friends mk1 with 2ltr ford engine in it. we went around this fast long 4 right opens (tarmac) and he initiated the slide and it just sat there at this fast beautiful mild slide. i just nodded in agreement haha see if MST can help get your Mk2 going. id love to see it on here

Does that mean you’re no longer doing Carfection videos Henry?

Hagerty is, without a doubt, the best automotive channel on KZbin, with the highest quality presenters in the world. Jason Cammisa, Magnus Walker, and now Larry Chen and Henry Catchpole?! Outstanding.

[@lesflynn4455]

They're good, and I watch all their stuff, but that's a reach and a half.

[@monunyabidness5949]

@@matthewschiebout7384You'd have to name said top 10 for me to believe that. IMO Chris Harris, Cammisa and Catchpole are the literal top 3. Harry Metcalf is up there too. Finding someone who can explain the technical details and also how they translate to driving enjoyment is not easy. Dave Coleman (formerly editor at Sport Compact Car) explains technical details beautifully to a tech nerd like me- I love knowing how things work, but his delivery is a bit lacking in passion, the few times i've seen him present. But if you want to know technical details of how something in the car works, or why it was changes in such a small way, he's the best.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets all emotional and teary eyed when I hear that beautiful induction noise and engine noise at full song blitzing along on a country road rowing through that close ratio gearbox.

[@AngerySumo91]

I don't believe I've ever seen any reviews with Henry, but I hope to see more. This was quite a review and a hell of a car to start the series with.

Mr. Catchpole, what a great pleasure seeing you here (An editing criticism: the music in the intro is too loud and almost drowns out the narration)

[@triumphbonnt100]

Henry Catchpole...my mind enters his car related world every time i view one of his videos. Sign of a master communicator. Certainly one of the best of a very few. JV.

Oh my effing god ! Henry Catchpole at Hagerty??? Yes please 🙏 😍 🙌

[@Vincent_Stevens]

Well this easily felt like Carfection to me. I guess i watched too much of their videos lol.

[@Schmitzelhaus]

I honestly didn´t even notice until i´ve read the comments! 😅👌

[@WhatIsMeDoing]

Catchpole and Cammisa on one channel is incredible. I'd love to see Henry in more classic rally cars - maybe him and Jason on the Kimera Evo37?

[@luisk6007]

Hagerty is taking over KZbin by gathering the top car reviewers like infinity stones

[@TheLRider]

The smiles say it all and perfectly understandable. What a stunning creation a Mk1 with all the years of development behind it and executed to perfection by MST. I would absolutely love one. Those roads and scenary as you say the place where it feels most at home in. The symphony of that engine. Long may you and MST prosper.

[@FenderUsa]

damn you have henry now too? hagerty killing it

[@Te1ecastermaster]

I really hope this isn't a one off video. Henry is one of the best in the business right now. I hope Hagerty brings him into the fold with a series of his own.

[@touavlogs]

Petrolicious was my favorite KZbin channel but they went MIA. Hagerty stepped it up. I will be waiting for more petrolicious but Hagerty is the new fav

Live in Jamaica. It's a car I always loves for we had one back in the 70's (Escort that is).

[@johnbrown3951]

Thank you so much for a dip into nostalgia for me. I sadly lost my Dad just over a year ago to old age but as a young man recently returned from missionary work in Nigeria he was sold the first Mk 1 Escort in the North East of Scotland and although I didn't drive that car I did have a 1.8 Si 20 years later but nearly bought the RS 2000 at that point. and drove the Escort Cosworth on the Mull of Kintyre made famous by Sir Paul and Wings. I recently sold my Mini Hatch JCW with the Bluetooth controlled Pro Exhaust that in 4th gear with the 2nd pipe open was a raucous drive but not to that extent but more bangs and pops evident. We are now the owners of an i Pace and it's early days in our ownership but to be whisked along on air suspension on heated leather and Meridian surround sound in near silence is a far cry from that car but times have to move on. If my numbers came up the new Defender 110 would be my first purchase but that car would be a very close second for sure. Thanks for making my day special but tinged with a little sadness at happier times gone past. Other cars for me Lancia Delta Integrale and the legend that is Audi Quattro.

[@MegaRetr]

Mr. Catchpole, what a great pleasure seeing you here

[@vaibhavxp]

I have said it before, I will say it again - Jason Camissa and Henry Catchpole are 2 of the best automotive journalists of our current era. It just fills my heart to see these 2 on Hagerty.

[@alexandervanwyk7669]

Thank you. Reminding me of my youth (10 years old in 1967) when Herman and Lambert Fekken, SA Rally champions and (our neighbours) always tested their Escort up our mountain road. Always flat out with the BDA engine. Then later the Chev Commando, the Kawasaki 500 two stroke etc etc.

[@cb8143]

Henry, you are an awesome addition to the Hagerty channel. Love your passion and delivery. And the car...beautiful.

[@alastairwatson3201]

Someone has to do a one on one comparison between the MST Mk 1 and the Alfaholics GTA homage! I can’t afford either but I’d love to know which is better, as an academic exercise. Somehow, I’m beginning to lean towards the MST as my dream car. Perhaps is because an Escort - not that this is an Escort, mind you - is more of a people’s car. Not $300,00 ones, of course, but you’ll know what I mean … .
