When there are seven cars sold in the U.K and you've checked out three of them - I really think you should get it over with and get one.
Calle Söderberg definitely.
What I enjoy about your reviews, it the fact that although this is called "Harry's garage", it is always more about the cars than about you. And this is something quite rare today... Those videos are really therapeutic to me. Thanks a lot Harry.
One of the most beautiful cars ever. So well proportioned. Gorgeous
I think it's even more beautiful today than when new. It's aged really well and doesn't look anything like a modern overly slick design.
Definitively!
Tell you what, if they bring this one up in one of those xBox car games. It will be a major hit.
Love the angular lines, this era of Italian sports cars I love.
Please never stop doing these drive-videos, they are fantastic and with a pleasant amount of nerdiness!
Harry, I love you. When times are tough, finding 15mn to watch a great video is just priceless.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Lol I'm the same,
I work nights and sometimes I put Harry on autoplay and regress as he tells me bedtime stories.
OMG. 🤣
A working aircon in a rather old italian car?! Really didn't expect that! What a great machine!
Fantastic looks. Looks a bit like an Intergrale from the front. Really beautiful.
Sleepingdragon 1 Absolutely! Have looked at them for many years. Its on the list of the many cars I want to buy, but probably never will :-P
Italian AC's are best in the world. Prob. the best thing in this car.
no sorry far from it anything japanese apart from the hitachi compressors..
It's most likely been repaired or re gassed multiple times
Having worked in Rome during the late eighties and early nineties I was lucky enough to see first hand a Maserati Shamal in piazza Venezia. Truly wonderful car to see. One of only 369 built of which 59 were RHD. Great review which brought back to me a flood of memories of a great time in Italy.
The interior is simply mesmerising😍
like all maseratis
absolutely :) @@roverwaters3875
I always liked the Shamal - surprised so few were sold in the UK - I remember someone's parents picking them up in one at my school around '93 or '94. He took off pretty quickly and I'll never forget how the autumn leaves on the road were spat out from under the rear wheels as they spun. Never saw it again after that.
Nice motor, I was always fascinated with the bi-turbo as a kid and this thing is a step above. Nice vid Harry.
Thanks for showing it to us, Harry. Absolutely beautiful design! I've never seen one before.
Thank you so much for sharing this stunning vehicle, I remember as a child thinking this was the most beautiful car I had ever seen, like a Lancia Delta with a V8.
German and Japanese cars are like a good wife, but if you want a beautiful lover who makes you crazy, take Italian car. Sorry for my English
Ha ha that's brilliant - and you are so right!!
German cars are quickly becoming that grumpy but sexy money demanding wife...
German is only appearance, the truth is that you betray the sly.
yep thats true haha :)
@Rusty Climber Rusty Is that so? I had no idea of such thing! I guess I got some homework to do...
Cheers mate!
Just popping in to say that I'm a guy that likes the steering wheel further away. Yes, we do exist! Every car I get in, I push the telescoping wheel all the way in. I had an Audi 90 with the wheel fixed, and too close to me, which was a major reason for selling it.
Love your videos, very relatable perspective. Thanks and keep it up!
One of my all time favorite cars!!.....Loved that review Harry thankyou
I love how old school Harry is...even the fact he said in this video "I might get my cheque book out" who the hell has a cheque book nowadays!? 😂😂
Great video Harry!!
i think it was just an expression.
I am 36 and still have one. I cannot tell you the last time I wrote a check though. lol
34 and use my checkbook every month to pay rent and the water bill. My apartment complex does not have an online option.
I could watch Harry review a blender and enjoy it
@@evilboxing1 Thet's B'cuz your Brain was "Frapped" before Birth, M'Lawd Ramirez...
Really enjoying these videos, more so because I drive through your town every morning on my Cotswold commute to Tewkesbury, sit at those traffic lights for the bridge at the bottom of the high street and enjoy the great road to Stow-on-the-Wold then enjoy even more the B4074 from Stow to Tewkesbury. I don't have anything old but my car is a modern rear wheel drive small coupé with 250bhp, manual box and great handling balance. :-)
It's always a pleasure watching your videos Harry, I'm glad to hear there's plenty more to come! I look forward to the next one. Cheers.
You make really good, interesting videos. You clearly know what your're doing.
Please make more of these!
Harry, thanks for making this video - I've been waiting 20 years for it. Lovely.
That blue is gorgeous. And your channel, 7 years on, is brilliant
Another great video Harry. Always loved your channel for being about one man and his car collection. Bringing in cars you're considering buying just adds another level of interest. Look forward to seeing more! Just please stay away from generic reviews-the personal angle adds so much more appeal to your videos.
I've always loved the BiTurbo/Ghibli's Harry - really under-rated IMO. Real discreet styling that looks better by the day to me. I was at the Modena factory in '96 when they were doing the Ghibli Primatist. Buy it Harry!
The Primatist ♥️🔱👍🏻👍🏻
Buy it buy it buy it !! It's not cheap at all, but if I could afford it, I'd most probably couldn't leave the dealer without it. Deserves a proper Harry's review too after you put a few more miles on it. Really really loved the video, what a stunning machine, thanks Harry !
What a beautiful car thank you for sharing. We in Canada did not get to see any of these brilliant designs form this area. So for me this is awesome to see love the interior and exterior design.
Thanks Terry
That rear wheel well slash will always make my heart melt. What an odd, endearing signature.
I were on my way buying one of these in the 90s. Amazing, brutal and beautiful car, still is. It's just so unique! It was a Porsche-killer at it's time, 4,5 sek 0-100km/h. Aah, I get so nostalgic!
Love the new format enjoyed that immensely & great tip about adding the extension to the steering wheel.
great video Harry! i feel you are one of the few who reviews really cool en rare cars that do not cost an absolute fortune.
This Maserati, The Mini, the Elan, both the SL R107 and the SL600 and i could go on. Most of these cars are actually reachable for people and that makes watching the videos even more fun!
greetings from Holland
Love the videos Harry, always end up learning something new. Keep 'em coming!
"splendid" as ever.
So good to hear more vids on the way.
Thanks Harry.
It's about time someone reviewed a Shamal. So many people think it's "Just a tarted up Bi-Turbo" but there's a lot more to it than that.
You, sir, are a man of great taste in cars. I really enjoy the variety in your collection.
What'z bettah than 'chips' dipped in 90-wt Gear oil--loves thet TASTE, does Ee?
Wheel spin in third? Insane. Love it. Thanks so much for the review, Harry.
Well, judging from the way Harry presents the car (expression etc.), he is really in love with it!!!
Harry, thanks for making all these great car videos. I have really enjoyed tuning in on the channel.. GREAT WORK, keep it up.. :)
Beautiful car, and great format Harry. If it were up to us, we'd tell you to buy every car you brought us. That's only because you're so great at finding wonderfully quirky exotics and classics. Thanks for the content!
Gorgeous car! Loving the videos!
"168 - that's a real usable speed . . .
Just subscribed to your channel. Really love your reviews, I could listen too you for ages. Thanks for the entertainment
Harry, I have been waiting for a review of this car for years - you are such a legend.
Long been fascinated by these.. They're beautiful cars. Every time I look at a picture of one, I'm taken aback! And what a beautiful color this one is. Dream car. Would love to own one and have it parked next to an equally mad Alfa SZ; two fantastically design cars that provide a uniquely enjoyable driving experience. I do hope you made the right decision with this one Harry!
Nice picture those two together!
Absolutely love that odd angle of the rear wheel arches. I'm a huge fan of 80s-90s Maseratis and I'd love to drive this around. I definitely wouldn't want to keep this as a garage queen.
Hey Harry, I remember you owning a maserati ghibli cuP! i LOVED READING PERFORMANCE CAR back in the day. :P
Had completely forgotten this masterpiece! That front end is so gorgeous! And the exact size for me, I cannot stand large cars at all.
The Shamal came from a particularly strange time at Maserati, but even so, they’re phenomenal cars. I have been driving a Tipo M139 QP as a daily vehicle, but I would really love to add a spectacular coupé or roadster to my garage as well. The 3200 GT is a more likely vehicle for me, but the Shamal is definitely swaying me strongly.
loved the look of this car since I was 10 and first saw it in the Super Sportivo Super Trumpf cards!
Favourite channel on YT. Like the new format and frequency. Thanks Harry.
Really hope you get it - that's a beautiful example. The Shamal was never officially sold in the U.S. and from the sounds of it we really missed out.
Used to read Evo religiously. Great videos Harry, thanks.
I love your videos. Had never seen this car before. Possibly a bit before my time. Very cool seeing these more obscure cars. Keep up the great work.
Thank's Harry.. Always a treat to watch your stuff.. Thank's again..
Wow....the shamal! I haven't thought of this car in years.....and it's so nice to see one pop up in Harry's garage! You da man Harry.....love that shirt!
Brill video Harry thanks. The sound of the Shamal was incredible!
Great video Harry, I love the look of this beast.
I truely love all the weapons of your choice, Harry! Really awesome cars and great videos!
I've never seen or heard of a Shamal before, and as a child of the 90's it was great to learn a bit about this car. Great vids Harry!
Great review Harry, thanks a lot for your work❤️
Awesome video Harry!
I m already loving this new format!
great video Harry. Always loved these cars. Big fan of Gandini's designs.
This car is almost offensively Italian. I love it!
It looks so much like BMW E30 M3. An M3 with GT interior and I place of the inline-4 they put a twin turbo V8! This car stole all the torque and left scraps for BMW.
@@alexmartinez280 I don't think the price range was the same as the M3, the Shamal was the top of the line above the Ghibli and the biturbos
I'd completely forgotten about the awesome Shamal! Thanks Harry, great video.
Just the tone of the review tells me you're mighty inclined to get this one...
Great review and will definitely check back to see if it joins your garage!
Never gave the Shamal much thought based on the looks and the period. Thank you Harry for educating us on the power-train and driving dynamics. You can't watch this man's videos without unexpectedly learning something new about cars. Fantastic!
Another excellent video. Can't say I've heard of this before. Sounds like a very tuneable platform. Can't wait to hear more about your bikes, Harry. One of them looks just like my old '85 Yamaha DT50MX - but I'm guessing it's a higher capacity model.
I love this car so much, great video Harry!
Very E30 M3, but with more...everything? I didn't know this car existed until this video. I love everything from the armrest to the material on the dash, and I think that it looks as aggressive coming as it does going. It's a shame and a boon that it's value has risen to it's current level. Drive it, man.
Yeah I'm getting that same "e30 on Italian steroids" vibe....love it
In reality the Biturbo design which the Shamal is from came before the E30, as it was released in 1980, while the E30 was presented in the fall of 1982.
Brilliant work as usual Harry, I pressed the like button before I started the video as I knew I was in for a treat yet again :)
I have a RHD Ghibli II with the same 'pelle grigio' and wood interior - it grows on you, even the clock! Yes, there are constant niggles with electrics, but apart from the engine the mechanicals are pretty simple. The engine is a gem, Cosworth design, coscast 4v heads, smooth, torquey, turbo kick, strong bottom end. You have to be willing to get your hands dirty, and experience with them is worth a lot in saved time. Most common faults are well known with remedies, but there is not the aftermarket and support network as so few were built, and they weren't sold new in the USA. The drive is much improved with tuned suspension - Maserati factory was old school with lower front suspension frequency than rear, which makes it soft and cars ground easily. 350lb/in front springs on my car gives ~5% understeer balance, rather than large oversteer balance as standard. Shamal is a mad car, crazy unique styling, box flares - Gandini let loose on a three-box 80's bi-turbo. They don't build cars like that anymore.....for better or worse. Love your 'work' Harry.
Hi Harry, get that Shamal bought! Effortlessly cool, one of my all time favourite cars😎😍
Looks like you just got yourself a Shamal Harry, congratulation!
My favorite car of the 90's! It has the "Monstro" look that the Lancia Integrale and Alfa SZ have too.
I am not a red car guy but they look pretty good in red with their black B pillar accents running across the roof!
Only 7 imported in UK Harry, pull the trigger!
Really great videos Harry - many thanks - great detail. Keep them going, keep them going!
An older Italian I know near where I live learned his trade in the Italian army, been living in the UK for years. Today he still tinkers with his cars lifting engines out etc, where most gentlemen of that age have long retired. I asked him are Ferrari, Lamborghini his favorite? No, no he replied "Maserati" and went on and on giving the reasons. Now I admire Maseratis. Bliss. :)
It's cool what they were able to do with so much thought, yet such constrained development budgets during those days.
Biturbo was extremely facinating for me as younger, especially Maserati ones...I drooled over these cars in the 90's. Later on in life I settled at a point, among others, a Range Rover Autobiography 400hk twin-supercharged, and for a 2,8 ton car, it was fast as a ferret, and delivered super instant response/power.
I surprised a meny a Posche drivers at the red lights then.
Great video as usual Harry. Thanks for doing this!
There are three Maserati from the 90is that were special (still are): Ghibli (cup), Quattroporte (evoluzione) and Shamal. These are like women. You love them or you hate them. For these three mentioned cars you cannot say: I like the engine or I like the line but ... There is no "but". You love them as a package, like your wife or you hate them in general. For me these were (are) pure cars with souls and hearts. Therefore you should threat them well. Like in the video: driver`s cars. Nice video. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Great video - would love to see more of this, getting rare cars out for a review.
I almost forgot about it, thanks, BUY IT, love the format (;
What a wonderfull car Harry, and those deep lovely seats, just wow, would love to get a drive in that car, buy it you must!
Greetings from Norway! ;D
this car looks gorgeous man and love ur new garage
"mad as a box of frogs"...Harry, you're the best! Priceless commentary.
I still have an old magazine road test of the Shamal somewhere. Great car. Thanks.
That exterior color is very understated and tasteful.
Great review, as always. this is my dream car, always wanted one....one day
Properly mad car in the day. Lovely to see one in being driven.
Beautiful car Harry, and nothing but yoy for even more great videos. But woah, these things have surged in price! I was inclined to think get it, but at this price point I'm not quite so sure. It's a Maser! Looking forward to your decision.
Looked like Harry really enjoyed that drive, I reckon the cheque books coming out. Its only gonna go up in value. Top one Harry.
For £100k? It's not THAT nice.
Very cool car. I love the rear end.
One off my favourite Maserati, i like it!
Good video ;)
Great review Harry, as usual! 🙌
I love Maseratis from these era - which may be a strange thing to say!
meee toooo
I totally agree.
It's funny....the cars looked so good but they were complete garbage. I think 1 out 4 cars came off the assembly line with a defect. But who cares...right? Like I said.....they look soooooo good.
LB I had a 430 for a while. The performance was manic but there was always some stupid little problem, particularly with electrics. At least I got it out of my system and went back to German cars :)
I've always wanted a Bora, though that was about ten or fifteen model years prior.
I'm loving this new format :)
I love the way you talking cars. You so passionate about them. And I always enjoy watching you in the vdo.
The Integrale and the Ghibli are two of my dream cars. Managed to own an EVO for a few years but could never quite afford a Ghibli.
Love the Shamal too. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the means.
These personal very well researched and highly informative videos are absolutely brilliant. I’m English, I very rarely blow the patriot trumpet, but I will here; we do make some lovely cosy No BS reviews of cars that are without equal anywhere in the world. Well done Harry.
I was lucky enough to watch one live and I can assure you that it really has the feel of something very exotic, despite being basely in the biturbo and this has NOTHING to do with its rarity!
what a great machine ! great work harry ,keep going on ! Greetings from belgium
What a wonderful car! Only if I could find one! The great thing about this video is that I loved it despite not understanding one single word. Best wishes!
