Silverstone Auctions 2022 NEC Classic Motor Show Sale preview

Silverstone Auctions NEC Classic Motor Show Sale is this weekend, 11th-13th November 2022 and is their biggest sale ever! I went along on setup day to see some of the cars and bikes being offered in the sale. Here's my preview of some of the lots on offer..

[@adz012345]

RS200 didn't have a 2.0L Cosworth engine like the Sierra, Hazza. Had a 1.8 turbo BDT lump. Some beautiful looking motors there!! 😍

[@harrysgarage]

I didn't know that but thanks for the info.

[@TheProco2020]

Just said the same and then read down. It’s a relation of the BDA/BDG I think, with a turbo. Cossie is 16v Pinto with a turbo?

[@ckm-mkc]

Had the opportunity to buy an RS200 for around $20k years ago, passed on it which was a mistake....

[@ashman0071]

bad karma car - killed it's co-driver - I saw one later, a road going version that had a much less special engine - obviously a replacement lump ........ ?

A man can dream and watch Harry's Garage.

Likewise Liam -

[@sh-hg4eg]

Definitely.

[@RobertBrownieJr]

His breadth of knowledge on cars is insane isn't it

[@ThatRosco458]

LOL I love his comments on the Bricklin, "they're quite rare, fortunately..."

[@trickyrat483]

Harry says: "You can bid online." Wallet says: "no, you can't." :)

[@royramdeen8864]

Harry always does the best previews with history.. well done.

[@arrangrant6037]

Love the Clarkson quip on the Merak Harry👍😎

[@calazam118]

My Esprit made the cut 😁🇬🇧 🤞

[@trishellis]

Love this channel, the information and history this man has about cars is amazing

[@dermotgannon4895]

hello nurse

[@Mike-1000]

Harry's a legend ... founder of Evo car magazine

[@jonathancarson1974]

I love how Harry outlines that he's not featuring a certain car, by outlining all the reasons as to why he isn't featuring it , whilst featuring the car.. :) P .s. I'll take the RS200.

[@richk7416]

I love watching Harry's passion and enthusiasm 👍

[@LCOF]

Nothing screams ‘A Recession is Looming’ more than a car auction that’s rammed full of toys. People are getting rid of anything and everything they’ve deemed unnecessary.

[@mopsnuf]

Especially the extremely low mileage examples, you're right... Those have never been used and are purely investment objects. A sign as clear as day to see so many offered.

[@tonyedgecombe6631]

That was my thought as well. Not a good time to buy this sort of stuff unless you can afford the depreciation.

[@MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

A selection of what will end up being You Tube 2295 barn finds

[@th3b0untyhunter]

these auctions happen on a regular basis and have been for years - Harry has covered lots of them. 10 cars more than normal is hardly the signs of a recession

[@ianashton1593]

@@th3b0untyhunter The people that can afford these cars aren’t usually too badly affected by a recession.

[@bassface8580]

Awww man.. that old red nsx. I'm drooling

[@xtlmad]

I'm so happy everytime I see there's a new Harry's garage silverstone auction video. Probably some of my favorite youtube videos :D

[@TT_1221]

Harry is by far the most informed and knowledgeable car enthusiast I have ever seen! Some fantastic looking motors there.

[@floppaplayz906]

I will probably never know as much about cars as Harry but I do know the difference between a Barracuda and a Roadrunner

[@Jaq365]

What another Silverstone candyland of phenomenal vehicles; thanks to Harry for not cutting the video too short. Harry's comments about the Bricklin (33:00) caused me to very nearly spit out my coffee. "I've never seen one before, not sure if I actually want to see one again either" and "It's very rare, fortunately". Back in NPR's 'Car Talk' days, it'd be referred to as "Bud Tugly".

[@KAM-666]

Fabulous run through “ like a kid in a sweet shop” appraisal of an amazing collection of outstanding vehicles, thanks for sharing, Harry.

[@weltonreds]

Thanks Harry...always love your trips down memory lane.

[@motorstockholm]

"It's very rare - fortunately" best comment ever about the Bricklin.

[@IndaloMan]

I love Harry's auction reviews, a mine of real information rather than someone just reading Wikipedia articles. Nice to see a B reg Mini, my first car back in 1976 was a 1964 Mini Cooper (BRS 579B) purchased for £45. It went to/fro Leeds London for 18 months complete with fibreglass front end after the front wings rusted away. #goodolddays

[@JimmyTomes]

Harry these videos are among my favorite automotive content, period. I think your fans would love it if you called Iain Tyrrell in for one of these... maybe with a little more time to walk around, peruse, and of course discuss the cars! Thanks for another mega video.

[@dlhennes]

"...unlike Mr. Clarkson..." HAH! That tease made my day.

[@SW-by9ob]

Everyone dumping their cars ahead of the inevitable price drop I see.

[@richardpatton2502]

Harry saying he never saw one before…really says something All the best to everyone

[@charlesnelsonhonnor2520]

Thanks Harry. I raced a 308gt4 for several years and they were a nice handling car with the slightly longer wheel base. And you're dead right about the 348, I have an original 348 challenge as my road car, and it's a fabulous driving car. That engine is sublime. Like your bikes you have in the sale. Farm snd garage channels are great, thanks.

[@mulletmanpete]

Another great video thank you Harry. But I always find it strange and rather heartbreaking that people do stuff like buy that 2014 R8 and only put 400 miles on it in 8 years. If I were fortunate enough to be able to afford such a thing, I'd be driving it at available opportunity, just as I do with my M3 and did with my RS4 before that.

[@colliedogjoy]

I suspect some folks just think of them in terms of legacy - although there will be some cars that life just got in the way of - like the XJS that never got registered. Whichever - it's fabulous that they still exist!

[@robertwright9321]

Fully agree with you! I’ve just done 10,000 miles in my Aston Martin in the last 12 months. I didn’t buy it to keep in the garage.

[@texanfournow]

And yet this pristine R8 depreciates, what, 50%? Yikes. Very telling...

[@d-sifer7714]

Well done harry and your excellent cameraman !!! Totally BRILLIANT FACTUAL ENTERTAINING content as usual. Love these special feature auctions with such a great different selection of cars and bikes . I could watch this for hours and hours. Thank you so much for doing these videos . 10/10 as always

[@CollectingMotors]

I’m registered and approved to bid for this one 9:00 fingers crossed 🤞🏼

We need a Harry’s Garage test of your friend’s Trans Am!

[@paulmcmorran3677]

Have watched several of Harrys Videos as a waiting Lotus Emira customer. His coverage of Silverstone auctions made me realise his wealth of knowledge and he's easy to listen to. Makes a change to listen to dialogue without the word 'like' pointlessly used 45 times a minute. Keep it coming Harry!

[@markcady6882]

Always love these videos….

[@98pharaoh]

Delightful. Thanks 👍

[@benc6614]

Harry has had another XJC kicking around for the last 8 years?! Does it make anyone else wonder what else might be hidden on that farm???

[@gordonsimpson3235]

....send Jonny Smith round to sniff-out any other gems on the farm? 😏

[@jamesavickers5961]

Thanks Harry

[@kevmagill5163]

I love these auction videos. The 308 GT4 has always been one of my favorite V8 Ferraris and it's heartening to see they're still somewhat affordable for now...That TR4 GTR was really interesting...awesome auction with amazing cars and you always have so much inside information!

[@nSpiraliArchitectb]

That Charger looks like a good old time.

[@gerrywatson261]

Nothing better than waking up to a fabulous feast of automotive art on sunny morning in NZ! Thank you Harry.

Wow! What a collection! It's amazing how much ford's are going for now if only we could go back in hindsight 😁 Love the vid Harry 👌😍

[@philcliffe6909]

I love these video's. It's like window shopping.

[@pasquale78]

Harry: "I'm not going to feature the DeLorean". Also Harry: Goes on talking about the DeLorean for almost a minute. 🙂

[@SB-vb8ch]

Zakspeed Capri is lovely, think the seats were Scheel branded Ford RS. Very special car with an interesting back story.

[@dirtyhabitz2888]

That Zakspeed Capri is a dream car from my ‘yoof’ 😍

[@JohnTallodi]

That's a masterful method of ensuring that the Bricklin goes for next to nothing. I wouldn't be surprised to see it hiding under a car cover in Harry's garage. :)

Silly prices let's see something the average person can afford .Oh sorry non ,we have been priced out of the market

Man!!!! This is one of the best selections this year!!!

I agree totally with you Harry on the DeLorean. They look like an appliance for sanitizing pots and pans.

Top. Just a pleasure to listen to Harry and get excited. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

Thanks for that Harry, your knowledge and enthusiasm is wonderful to listen to. So many spectacular cars, oh for a lottery win!,

Thanks, Harry. Love the orange Montreal, GTR4 Dove, and the blue 2600 Sprint. I wish you had stopped by the white XK120, but understandable with the sheer amount of cars there. Please never stop making these videos.👍

[@jonathancarson1974]

Silverstone auctions is better than the actual NEC classic car show!

[@timpulmanAustralia]

Thanks Harry. Watched the auction all the way from Brisbane Australia. The black XJS with 100 miles on would have been my pick of the auction. Was lucky enough to drive one many years ago when i lived in the Uk. Thanks for letting us all know the auction was on .

[@viggowiin]

Fantastic. I really love the Silverstone Auction videos. I do miss the Geneva Motorshow videos though.

[@bezier1955]

Love Harry's videos but I must admit these auction ones are my fave!

[@djgoldthing7166]

Love these auction walkabouts, can't imagine them being this interesting in 30 years, with low mileage electric SUV's looking for new homes.

[@Ellis01234567890]

That Clio V6 really got my juices flowing

[@sirfairplay9153]

We should have tucked a few of everything away back in the day😉

[@Zadster]

For anyone into history, there is a pleasing resonance about being a grain buyer on Jethro Tull's farm!

[@PetterEriksson94]

These Auction Previews are an instant like from me the minute I see them uploaded! Always terrific to see the cars and hear your commentary. Wish the video was an hour longer!

[@berwhaletheavenger]

I had a 3.0 CSL 30 years ago. 5 grand iirc! The seats in the E30 M3 are Evo 3 (Sport Evo) btw. Anybody who pays more that 10 grand for a 1275GT needs their head feeling.They were crap, as anyone old enough can attest.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Brilliant Harry.....all too tempting!

[@BMW7series251]

Brilliant Harry, thank you.

[@JohnMartin22222]

To know that much info on so many cars is more impressive than the actual cars. Well Done harry

[@michaelteret4763]

Metallic orange Montreal? Yes, please!

[@gobear83]

Thanks Harry… great video , wish we had this level of cars in Canada

[@chesspiece81]

That Alfa 4C looks great. I've always loved the way they looked and thought it would be a perfect car to get and tweak to make it better. Any collection of Porsches never fails to make me weak in the knees. The Rover SD1 we never got in the US but I've always liked them as well. That gold late 70s Trans Am is a great looking car but absolutely TERRIBLE to drive. If there has ever been a car that almost HAS TO BE a restomod with new suspension, engine, transmission, brakes, and everything, it is certainly one.

[@errekseventytwo3475]

Unpopular take with the Evo gang, but a 4C, like an Elise, is best left stock.

[@mikelenton4501]

The " catalogue " you got was nothing like the one we had to pay for!

[@andrewtuff6257]

Absolutely fab video, the joyous enthusiasm really brings it together. I so wish I had some spare cash!

[@stephenhowes7542]

Love the auction videos

[@johnsmith1474]

"Jethro Tull" wasn't a person (in modern times) the singer was Ian Anderson. If I never had to suffer another Rover, or the Escort, Capri, Subaru, or any other hyped-up econoboxs I'd be fine.

[@jep1912]

Recession means everyone’s selling everything before it tanks.

[@jeanjean3869]

Very nice cars

[@nohedes]

Love these preview videos. Opening with the Sierra Cosworth made every car that followed seem remarkable value for money 😂😮

[@geoffnorton9279]

I always look forward to these visits. I would love you to feature every car and then follow up with a video showing how much they sold for.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Two of the cars from Top Gear's £10k supercar challenge and they haven't actually gone up all that much... And those are nice ones, the Merak is even an actual SS. Good buys.

[@EvoraGT430]

What was the moral of that piece again? I know: DON'T!

[@k-mc94]

''I've bought a car with an SS badge on it'' 😂

[@HughTFYT]

Errr.. where did that other Jag Coupe come from Harry? How many other cars have you got which we don't see in the garage? 🤔 😆

[@simonyapp]

Nice capture, presenting and editing. Tom, you got so many well placed cutaways. nice work on the edit, late night Thursday then! Thanks.

[@OzoneVibe]

First there was the Hunt/Lauda film "Rush". Then there was Harry's auction video ... 😉 . Packed a lot in that one. 👍
