Buy the Speed 12 Harry, for the good of the nation.
Then do a 2000 mile trip to Europe in it and post a video!
@@cookedit Got me... Just wanted to post that too :D
It’s factory manual so he wouldn’t be butchering a classic at least.
@@cookedit with Mrs H sitting with him all the way!
@@matthewcoupeofficial what
A friend of mine has just won the Merak you mentioned. We live in Australia and cant get to England for a month so will have it in storage until then. You are quite welcome to road test it for you channel if you wish Harry.
I’d genuinely love to sit and hear harry give his thoughts on all 114 cars there. Tbh, I’d listen to him to round the car park as well lol
Totally agree - just make it three parts if that's best for the algorithm/digestability. Far better to hear your enthusiasm for somethign like the Speed 12 over the latest hybrid SUV that's selling for 250k with 5k cupholders.
I might just buy the spare RS200 shell sit in it and make the noises myself lol.
The 1600e mk2 cortina v6 conversion belonged to a very dear friend of mine who passed away 2 years ago , Alan RIP miss you
He had two actual savages also and an amazing green Ford 1930s pickup hotrod
A nice surprise on a Friday morning.
I've been following TVR and the speed 12 through all of their highs and lows since I was a teenager 25 years ago. Its hard to describe but the speed 12 captures my entire youth. Many hours spent playing gran turismo 2 (like many others I'd imagine), tuning and spraying my virtual TVR fleet in all sorts of crazy reflex and chameleon colours. Having aged, I've been lucky enough to own a couple of cerberas, but i still feel that nostalgic pull whenever i see a TVR and I'm glad that it is still romanticised by anyone with half an interest in british motorsport and history. Harry put it succinctly in the video but for me, the speed 12 defines TVR; and TVR defines bonkers british humour and underdog spirit. Thank you Harry, for reporting on it and treating it with respect. I just hope that whoever is lucky (and wealthy) enough to pick it up, keeps it in the UK, treats it with care and also allow the public to see it; rather than it bookending someone's private collection. If I had the money, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Grinding Gran Turismo All-stars race at Red rock valley 5 laps to win a speed 12 and sell for 500,000 credits over and over again. Memories......
The speed 12 is still used in most driving games today and it’s still one of the best looking cars there is.
I was rocking the speed 12 in TOCA touring cars!! Beast of a machine!!
Im glad they included into Forza as well.
If you haven't seen it yet, Drivetribe did a more thorough review a few days ago and spoke to the owner.
Gotta love Harry's enthusiasm. It's addictive.
A Yale door lock! Thats what all these electric cars are missing 😅 fantastic video Harry. These Silverstone auction videos are brilliant i look forward every year to seeing them all.
I think I speak for everyone when I say just film everything! Who cares if the video is 3 hours long. I don't. Harry, you have all the time in the world, this is not a timed segment for TV, it is whatever you want it to be. I would certainly lap it up. Listening to their (the cars) stories is everything. Great video regardless.
Not everybody lol
EXACTLY. Long-term fan from Latvia. Who cares if it's an hour or three - just as long as the content is brilliant (and it is).
I'd watch the video if he walked the whole lot of cars! 👍👍
Nice to see a Silverstone walk around that's outdoors and with great weather to showcase these wonderful cars, Thank You, Harry and Silverstone. 👍👍
There's me looking to drop £60k on a new family car and I can't help but think I could get that SL65 AMG and a bus pass for the kids 😂
Sound's perfectly sensible to me!
Or just ferry them about 1 by 1, you get to drive more.
You only live once. Do not pay 60k for a blooming family wagon .. buy a monster with comfort! Your kids will thank you!
I'm sure they'd learn to admire it as you blast past the bus turning money into sound.
It could've been yours for GBP 54,562! And so lots of spare change for their bus passes.
That Allard looks interesting 👍
That and the Maser.
Read through the comments looking for an Allard reference--put a Dewey Weber surfboard hangin' out the back to complete the package. . .
I love it (!)
"This man is mad! 😂I can listen to him for hours with pleasure! There should be reminders of his videos so we can stop watching! Respect! 😁
I'm always amazed at how little some people drive some great cars.
HPI, the automotive data experts claim 7% of cars have been clocked in the UK. carVertical have that figure as 15.6 percent of all vehicles in Europe have a clocked mileage with 30% of Audi A8 having been clocked. I recon that percentage is much higher in auctions like this.
Oh that's why that Speed12 video was up.
Well thank you Harry for providing my entertainment for this weekend since the Imola GP has been canceled. So many temptations !!! Easy to understand your enthusiasm.
Very rare Hawker Tempest in the background behind the Bentley 😎
I was way more interested in that Tempest than in the Bentley.
I’m sure I’ve seen that plane display and it is rapid!
These videos are so enjoyable! Cheers Harry & co. That 360 Spider is delicious!
I was eyeing that manual Spider too! Sold for GBP 78,750.
The 944 would look great next to your 930 911, Sir.
Great video as ever Harry! Back in the late 1950s my father had a Riley Pathfinder which also had manual gearshift to the right of the driver's seat.
9:00 - That Ghibli is lovely.
Harry at the auctions. my favorite time!
That woody gives me Allard on.
You, sir, are living my dream, thank you for sharing, and greetings from Costa Rica...
I almost put down a deposit for a Speed 12 in 1999 - still have the brochure with that actual car in it. Love it.
Thanks for recording this wonderful adventure and congratulations to all who took part and came through. Glad Harry wasn't hurt in that tumble.
A favourite car channel full of dignity and respect.
So many lovely motors. Merak SS and Fiat Dino! A lot of people are going to come away very happy after the auction!
It was a very satisfying sound made when you opened the door of that old Bentley w/ the manual Harry, thank you for THAT👍
The world of car collecting is wild! That Renault Clio Williams is guided at almost twice of that Bentley Turbo RT next to it is just madness to me as someone who don't understand the value of that Renault.
Because the Bentley will be equivalent to a small mortgage in maintainence + repair costs (especially as it's apparently sat for decades).
The Renault is already sorted and driveable, wayy more reliable and affordable to run.
@@Emira_75 Also that Renault was an aspirational vehicle for broke ass spotty teenager 30 years ago when they were driving around in their mum's Vauxhall nova merit. Those teenagers have now paid of their mortgage and want to relive their youth by buying shit they couldn't afford back in the day. The Bentley is a nice car but not for me kind of thing, so there is no emotional connection.
@@Emira_75 I believe it's more to the side of the renault that it's a collectible car. There's a lot of wild prices attached to collectible cars like R33 400r for example, I can't wrap my head around on how it could be more expensive (or as expensive) than a Miura, which is also a highly collectible car but not as collectible as the 400r. Even though that Turbo RT got everything sorted, i believe it's not gonna be more expensive than the renault.
Those Clio Williams rust from the inside out, buy a wrongun and you may buy a decent welder.
The Williams Clio was a limited edition of what was one of the best "hot hatches" of the time. The original phase 1 production (which this car is one) were numbered and only 390 were made for the UK. So it's a combination of performance, rarity and desirability that determines the value.
The Bentley is a completely different animal, it's a big heavy barge, it will be a money pit and not many people need or want a car that size. Plus this one has been sat not being used for years and will probably need the purchase price again to get it in top condition
Love these Silverstone Auctions walk arounds, Harry's experience and knowledge on full display. Can we have a 1 hour video featuring more cars next time please?
Can't believe that three is up for sale! One of one. A copy was made in blue but that is proper Gran turismo stuff!
Loved your video and chats Harry, very disappointed you didn’t visit the FORD IRELAND ESCORT!
I’ve owned TVRs and love everything about the, , even the breakdown’s lol, well done Harry you did Peter proud
"So many cars to cover, let's head down in to the field"
- Harry, while casually walking past Red 5, THE classic Williams F1 car from the 90s 😅
Sorry, couldn't help myself. Great video, as always. Thanks Harry 👍
I'm hoping that was just a static display replica or something...
12:58 This man has a way with words. I proper laughed my ass off, then went back for a re-watch. What a review of this interior!
Love these episodes.
Wow, what a beautiful thing that Allard is. Never even knew about it!
Nice assortment there. I love the 550, I think these will go big money soon. Someone buy it! If if I had the space (and the wife) I would!!
Have a look at the engine in theFiat Dino Coupé. All the castings say Fiat. They made them for Ferrari in a deal to produce at least 500 engines to homologate for F2 racing. The coupé is by Bertone, the spider by Pininfarina. Fiat 135 is the model number, AC or BC for coupés, AS orBS for spiders.
A Harry's Garage or Farm video drops and I stop editing my own to watch! Always fantastic content.
Love these auction walk-arounds - I also like how Harry keeps mixing mileage with price. 308 GT4 looks amazing imo.
Love these walk arounds, Harry!. Buy the Speed 12 Harry, for the good of the nation..
Excellent review, Harry.
Hey Harry! Thanks for sharing!
Camera filters would be appreciated. There are for every type of cameras, including GoPro and Smartphones.
It would help a lot to see through the windows and inside the cars.
How fitting, 2 Bertone Dino’s next to each other!
Hope everyones enjoying this weather finally
I just love that TVR. I have a 2500M with as 1995 Corvette V8 in it and it is a handful, I cannot imagine what the Speed 12 is like. Epic.
I believe there's actually 2 of those TVR's. The owner of this red one also has a blue one that's got just a little less 'bhp' and has been sorted for the road. The sale of this is to fund another TVR project of his.
Source: Drive Tribe's latest RUclips video. Well worth a watch as Mike starts it up and gives it some 'beans'. The sound is well...orgasmic!
The Blue/purple one does not have the TVR 7.7 V12, it has an Aston martin v12. It has the original Chassis but the rest of the car is different to make it more driveable.
@@dronin87 Which is basically what I said...
@@gillie-monger3394 not really.
This is the only factory built one, the purple one is built by Graham from bits bought from the factory. As seen in the recent Drive Tribe vid which explains it better.
Brilliant video Harry, thank you so much!
The Bentley RT looked great but a little out of place in that line of hot hatches haha! Amazing to see that Speed 12 in the flesh.
Another thing, great sound/mic work in this video, really clear and easy to hear you.
Thanks for keeping the videos coming, always a highlight when a new one is released.
That Esprit is beautiful. I've always wanted one. Maybe one day...
Totally agree. It's now in Kent ;-)
I spend equal parts swearing at and driving my Chimaera, but I love it to bits. There’s a sense of theatre and drama around all TVRs that is unique and addictive once you’ve experienced it. The comedy build quality and the wiring that looks like it was installed by Frank Spencer is more than overshadowed by the fun factor. At the end of the day it’s a 1000kg open top sports car with a thumping V8 under the bonnet. And it makes a noise to die for.
People absolutely love TVRs when you’re out and about as well. Unlike a Porsche or a BMW they never seem to provoke any negativity from other road users. People love to look at them and hear them. RIP, TVR. Wish they were still about.
Harry is a legend and to think we watch all his amazing content for free. ❤
Thank you Harry, I love to see these previews. The TVR looks quite like a viper. Thanks very much.
For me, the TVR T350i is still one of the most beautiful cars ever made! RIP TVR
Love these walk arounds, Harry!👌
I've seen that TVR in the flesh when it was on show in the Lake District. Absolute beaut.
I don't have any interest whatsoever in the 'history' of that Conti, but what an absolute stunner of a car it is. That colour too, is just wonderful.
What an amazing collection of cars if I had the money I would buy a garage like you have and fill it
Silverstone Auctions have outdone themselves with this collection. It's truly dizzying to see such an eclectic mix of modern classics, total oddities, and all time legends, all sharing one plot of turf!
Still a great shape and the colour is perfect
coffee poured, collecting cars podcast watched, Harry's auction review, magic
Looks like it will be an amazing auction, so many nice cars
I’m with you on the Bentleys and the sl 63 would be great 👍
If the Interceptor comes with the water bottle, I'll consider bidding.
That Teal Conti R is mint👍👍 Having driven a Gallardo in anger, got to say i wasnt impressed. Just felt like a quick TT tbh..Sounded nice though..Saw my 1st RS200 at my former local Ford dealership George Wrights in Cleckheaton back in about 1984. Absolutely blew my mind it was in a small family owned showroom..🤯🤯
Back from Morocco and, after a quick haircut, shave and change back into the paisley shirt, Metcalfe is back at the Silverstone auctions like it’s just another day. Tell me, Harry, am I close?
Thanks Harry, enjoyed 😊
Enjoyed this one Harry, cheers👍
Its suprising how well the 550 has aged, i jever thought it was that oretty in period but seems to just keep getting better
These car auction walk around videos are some of my favourites of his work
Love the Merak SS - Looks a fair bargain to me Harry but they weren't the most reliable and last time I drove one I almost broke my index finger pointing at something outside on the incredibly steeply raked screen! Super episode again. Thanks mate.
Beautiful car. Sold for GBP 39,375.
Great job as usual, Harry! seeing how I was born and raised in So Cal I've never even seen some of those cars! Very cool!
Would like to see some more of that little blue California 😀
You make fantastic videos Harry but these silverstone auction ones are my favourite 👍
(Me, drawn to a Ferrari California I generally dislike solely by virtue of its attractive colour)
Harry: "Not sure about the colour, but..."
(Me, swooning over the sight of that old Maserati Ghibli)
Harry, speedwalking past it: "I'm not going to look at this Ghibli, but hey, look, a Jensen Interceptor!"
Harry just breaking my heart left and right in this week's video. Great vid, as usual, but a tough beat for me, personally...
Yes, how does anyone just walk past a Ghibli without taking a moment to soak in its beauty.
Thirded. Original Ghibli one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
@@diecycling Especially then stopping at the Jenson, which is an odd looking duck with strange proportions.
When you see Harry with a book, you know you're about to learn!
Wasn’t the FIAT Dino the black mafia cars in the Italian job?
I always loved the shape of the 944
Thanks Harry, great run down
The Alfa's are cute.
Clio Williams brings back fond memories: I was a very lucky 24yo lad!
Love the Porsche GT3 Touring, as highly praised by Chris Harris
"If you're not too keen on the yellow..." LOL! GT4 for me if the Lottery pays off tonight.
A nice Gallardo for 60-70k GBP is great value for money. This car is among the favorites of the younger generations and as they gain purchasing power the price of the nice Gallardo examples will only go up.
Really enjoyed this one harry
Brilliant mix of cars
That ultima is a cracker 😁
Wow what a lineup 👍🏻🏴
Silverstone Auctions are lucky having guy like Harry
I remember when my Dad used to do the "Spot The Ball" competition in the 70/80's and they always included a Jensen Interceptor with the money. It always said as owned by Princess Anne!👍
Spot the ball and a pools coupon 😂
Awesome thanks Harry, The Lotus esprit and the Bently turbo r please.
Unbelievable how he walked right past the Maserati Ghibli. To me it's one of the coolest cars there
That teal Conti... my word... gorgeous! ❤
Those 360s are starting to look a great buy
if you can do they engine out thing by your self every other year.... they're made of glass
Here we go!!! Silverstone auction. Best thing
Great coverage
I detailed the Cerbera Speed 12 this week and last. To see my Max Car Care sticker in the windscreen with Harry talking about the car is somewhat surreal!
I think you want it harry 😜🏴
"Lots of Fords..." - can't wait ;)
That Speed 12, wow if only. I love the idea of a car that's too mad for even TVR, it must be absolutely bonkers
I remember reading the Evo article about the Speed 12 back in 2005. I was on holiday in Paris but I was more interested in the TVR than the sights 🙂
I can only imagine the thrill of driving a Speed 12. I was lucky enough to own a Cerbera, the 4.2l ajp engine. Thrill be the seat of my pants.
They're called Trafficators!
That 2003 Esprit is a dream car for me. One of only 4 made in Laser Blue. It sold for £59,417 which equates ro about $76K USD. A freaking BARGIN fir it. Shame as its a 2003 so it can't come in for a while. But that car, in that color with those wheels (OZ Nova) and that interior!! 🔥🔥🔥
I bought it ;-) It is the final Laser Blue they made, with 18k miles. The interior was changed from blue to cream a few years back. So many receipts dating back to 2003. You can buy it off me one day ;-)
Great video Harry some amazing cars Thanks
Walked past the Eaton Yale escort Mk2 and the Williams F1 😢
