It's so nice watching the quality side of that family. No puddle, no arrogance, no illiteracy, no bragging about working 25 hour days, no blowing of one's own trumpet. Nice.
Ian Grier it’s not bragging it’s facts,and the illiteracy is due to dyslexia I believe so give him a break,and when you and your family have been top of the tree in your chosen profession then you can shout it from the treetops.....jr lesrnt all his knowledge from his dad so show some respect and don’t be a troll....have a good day
I like the matter-of-fact way Tom speaks of his outstanding inventory. A man who so clearly knows his onions must inspire great confidence in a client.
This is quite a presentation. The presentation itself is iconic. My favorite is the 1973 911S original. Good thing Steve McQueen was not around to see this presentation or the car would be gone. I'm nostalgic as I once owned a 1972 Porsche with a story and a history, restored to the enth degree with the original factory black paint built to RS specification but with what was then the largest over bore at 2.9 liters. Totally modified twin plug ignition with the mechanical fuel injection pumps meticulously modified by a Porsche expert. Original sway bar on one end with the addition of an S sway bar on the other end with original oil cooling lines added along with RS original race oil cooler. Black leather comfort seats added; original factory glass with the exception of the rear window, which along with the engine had been stolen, requiring a donor engine. Two plus years in development by TRE Motorsports. I sold the car to a friend who now has it and has further refined the car which also had a limited slip differential with transmission cooler added. Amazing car with the addition of that factory oil tank and S guages already in the car with all guages refurbished by iconic North Hollywood Speedometer. A remarkable car to drive, its history includes completing the "California Targa."
It's a pleasure to hear Tom Jnr giving us all the great history on these magnificent form's of Art truly refreshing Thank You Sir #TomSnr #TomJnr #Legends #Bigfan
Great video. So nice to see so many classics and hear such knowledge of them all. Top three for me are the 288 GTO, the AM DB4 and I love that 1972 911.
Wow... Great display and set up. The Williams first F1 car is absolutely amazing!! Also... I like your presentation style! Compliments the collection very well 👍
Beautiful selection of vehicles, must be amazing to find the homes for them, although I don’t think I could part with any of them, thank you for sharing this
Your rankings of the best cars of the worlds is like mine. Miura, F40's, 288 GTO... BOTH WILLIAMS. Damn, the only difference is that you just live it. I would shat my pants and cry of joy just by entering the room. Thanks for this crazy video, from a tractor mechanic.
Steve, l have a JDM wide body Starion GSR-VR 5speed SHP made in 1989. Very rare. Unmolested. Fully documented service history with only 50,000 kilometres. Enjoying your videos greatly. Cheers.
Superb insight into some amazing cars. I particularly like the way he describes the cars history and provenance. He genuinely seems privileged to have those three f40's and the fact that he turns down most he gets offered was really interesting. Thanks, really enjoyed that.
very fun listen. Tom knows his cars and how to sell them. there were two that I must have the F330 cabrio and the PGT. those can be delivered here to this address in SC thanks!!!
Outstanding! Tom knows his stuff. A young version of Harry Metcalf. I met Tom and his dad some 24 years ago at the family compound. This showroom is stunning.
Fantastic collection. Your explanation of the F40s included many things I hadn't heard before. Your knowledge of every car there demonstrates why you have such a strong reputation.
Few people are able to convince me that £3,000,000 for a lump of metal, leather and rubber is "excellent value for money" quite like Tom Hartley. TAKE MY MONEY!
You Sir is a GENIOUS. Your video is both informative and interesting. You already have succèss, but nothing stops You from beèng a down right YT sensation with Your skills. And You propably know what an enormous market platform it is. I really apppreciated when you told the price estimate on the vehicles. Even thoug I live in Norway, I would like to take my wife and my Mercedes AMG w213 E-class Estate and pay you a wisit...... At last ...Perfect dictation Tom...
Btw: just also want to say...: Possibly the best video on RUclips. Well presented and simply the best collection of classic cars, I’ve ever seen. Love the prototypes and one off’s et al.
Great to look back at the inventory held back then, and the pricing. Absolutely love the passion, history and knowledge about all these marques. Thank you THJ.
Absolutely fantastic video. Straight to subscribe. Definitely some more videos needed! Maybe one about preparing a car that has just come in prior to it getting to showroom. The steps and checks you go through.
Hello Tom, thank you for that, I LOVE YOUR UNDENIABLE PASSION and the fact that you made this 1hr 5mins, or just under, Video, very INFORMATIVE, but fairly easily DIGESTIBLE and ACCESSIBLE, so not expecting everybody to know everything about Car Specifications, and such. Often with Cars, collectable or otherwise, it is their provenance or history, that is most interesting, just as much as the Cars, themselves, sometimes more so. I like the fact that you went around highlighting this, and that it definitely contributes to the overall interest and market value, certainly in the long-term, of those Cars. I have to say, that although I still don't Drive, and perhaps never will, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTO ALL THINGS "TRANSPORT", IN A REALLY BIG WAY, I too, take after my father, who is an avid "TRAINSPOTTER", to this day, LOL! I am not usually a "SUPER CAR" person, though, I tend to love CLASSICS, such as the 'MORRIS TRAVELLER', you know, ordinary, affordable, everyday Cars, that have now become pretty valuable and sought-after, in their own right. BUSES & MOTORBIKES ARE A PARTICULAR PASSION FOR ME, too, and if I were ever to acquire the kinda money to afford the privilege of owning any of your fine calibre of Cars, I would probably choose to purchase that Pre-WW2 'RT2' ~ PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ~ but those lovely people at 'Ensign Bus Garage', I doubt very much, they would ever let me have her, regardless if I had the Funds, or not, LOL! Anyhow, I wanted to ask, why you didn't speak at all, about that extremely elderly 3-wheeled Car, that you have in your possession, the one that reminds me of my very own 'VIKING CARGO' TRICYCLE, who's affectionately known as "BESSIE", by my Sweet lil old 'MUMMY BEAR'?!?!?!?! I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THAT CAR, AS IT STOOD OUT, TO ME, LIKE A SORE THUMB, IN THE NICEST POSSIBLE WAY, AMIDST ALL OF THE FLASHY SPLENDOUR OF ALL THOSE OTHER CARS! IT MUST BE THERE FOR A REASON, though, right, AS YOU SAID THAT ALL OF THE CARS YOU OWN AND SELL, ARE CARS THAT YOU LOVE, YOURSELF, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND SO THEY ARE ALL SUPER DUPER SPECIAL, AND MEANT TO BE THERE, IN YOUR SHOWROOM?!?!?!?! XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX
The history and patina talk is what puts your offering apart from a lot of the tubers out there. Thank you for the walk around - fabulous collection (wow)!
Casually leans against a RHD 250GT SWB.........”we’ll decide whether to restore it in the next couple of weeks”. Fantastic video, completely different world that 99% of us will never have access but thank you so much for showing these works of art to us.
Thank you very much Tom, very well explained.....I can not raise my budgets to these levels but it’s has been good to listen to you ....just have to stick with my MG C and Td for now good luck .... Ron
I'm salivating over this video. If I could obtain half or a third of this amazing collection, give or take a few of my own personal loves, I would wake up happy every single morning of each day no matter who was lying next to me.
Blimey! There looks to be quite a few scratches on that Bugatti at 32:50. Looks like it requires a real professional detail. Great video though Tom and fabulous knowledge
My God imagine being alive to own an original 330 all the way till 2011!!! That person has witnessed almost the entirety of racing history, definitely the best times in racing/cars.
The Veyron's failure to retain value is attributed to its ridiculously high running costs. For example, the wheels need to be replaced every 2nd or 4rd tire change to the tune of 100k USD is bonkers. The tires alone are north of 40k usd! At least they addressed this issue with the Chiron which uses tires that are a fraction of the cost and the wheels don't need to be replaced. An f40 won't cost even half as much to maintain. Absolutely stunning spec on that 959. Probably the most gorgeous example I've ever seen!!!
That Williams is a beast of a car, I drive it on Asserto Corsa and love it. 13:05 They built 399 Enzos and one extra for the pope! Wow The Pope is a speed freak hahahaha Thanks for posting.
I was lucky enough to walk around chef James Martin's collection a while back. I'm pretty sure he had a 288 GTO and a racing 599 GTB. Could be wrong but you'll know someone who knows him to check them out. I think he also owns Jodie Scheckter's F1 and the only mini to win the Paris-Dakar. I also got drive a mate's 550 World Record and his 512M back in the day, the latter doing 135mph in 3rd. The clunk of that gates gear lever shift and engine noise will never leave me. Nice vid, even nicer cars that i look on from afar (monetary wise). Love Poults btw. Cheers, Jel.
Great video and knowledge. I watched the video maybe 5 or more times in the last month. My favourite 👍. I just wanna ask you Tom can you make a separate videos of the 288 gto and the miura but not less than 15 minutes please 😊👍🎄
Very interesting and informative. I'm glad you're a 288 fan...it's been my favourite car since they were launched (that could read as if I own one...not yet).
Wow, Tom. Best tour of a car collection I have ever seen. Rest assured, I will be watching every video you make - and, when you eventually receive an urn containing my ashes, please dig a hole and bury them under your Miura. Thanks in advance. B)
It's so nice watching the quality side of that family. No puddle, no arrogance, no illiteracy, no bragging about working 25 hour days, no blowing of one's own trumpet. Nice.

daveybaby10 well said!!👍
There is no quality side to that family, the DNA never changes, cheats
I like the matter-of-fact way Tom speaks of his outstanding inventory. A man who so clearly knows his onions must inspire great confidence in a client.
Your encyclopedic knowledge of your stock is very impressive. A thoroughly informative & enjoyable video. Thank you 👍
This guy knows his stuff 👍🏻 great collection too

Beautiful selection of vehicles, must be amazing to find the homes for them, although I don’t think I could part with any of them, thank you for sharing this
That 288 GTO is beautiful. Love the yellow lights.
Ferrari really managed to make ruin the Testarossa's beauty with the 512M
Awesome collection of art works on wheels. Thanks for an amazing tour.
Where are they hiding all the trickle chargers?
These cars are almost not driven, probably do not even have battery inside.

great video...absolutely love the collection. I really like Tom's enthusiasm and personal details about what he likes about the cars.
Superb insight into some amazing cars. I particularly like the way he describes the cars history and provenance. He genuinely seems privileged to have those three f40's and the fact that he turns down most he gets offered was really interesting. Thanks, really enjoyed that.
My dad bought a Aston DB7 off your dad in the 90s. Was good to meet him.👍🇬🇧

Tom, thanks for spending time to do this, highly entertaining, please do again someday.
Great video Tom. Really nice to get some behind the scenes insight into your stock, and to be sharing some of your knowledge.
What an amazing collection I agree with everything you said about the Carrera GT. I would love to be a salesman in a show room like that.
Outstanding! Tom knows his stuff. A young version of Harry Metcalf. I met Tom and his dad some 24 years ago at the family compound. This showroom is stunning.
Fantastic collection. Your explanation of the F40s included many things I hadn't heard before. Your knowledge of every car there demonstrates why you have such a strong reputation.
First Class presentation. Thank you for sharing🇦🇺
Very nice video to watch, being a ferrari nut I was glued to watching... I'll pop in one day to purchase my dream ferrari collection.... 😊👌🏻
Fantastic video - thank you for posting this. Looking forward to more.

Even thoug I live in Norway, I would like to take my wife and my Mercedes AMG w213 E-class Estate and pay you a wisit...... At last ...Perfect dictation Tom...
Superb video. Your level of knowledge on each specific car is amazing.
The knowledge Tom has about these vehicles is surely unrivalled.
Wonderful video Tom. Thanks. If I am ever in a position to buy a classic, I will be coming to see you.
Btw: just also want to say...: Possibly the best video on RUclips. Well presented and simply the best collection of classic cars, I’ve ever seen. Love the prototypes and one off’s et al.
Great to look back at the inventory held back then, and the pricing. Absolutely love the passion, history and knowledge about all these marques. Thank you THJ.
Great video Mr H, thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your showroom, thanks for sharing
If I'd won the Euromillions the other day I'd be straight down to this place the next day
you have to wait at least 3 months for the money after the win...
@Henry Discipline you dont get the money straight away after winnng the lottery
The next day or not, point taken, I will be shopping too:) There some left hand drives for me.
Hill was a test driver for William in 1992 and also had his first few GP’s in 92 with Brabham, then started driving for Williams full time in 93.
What a knowledge. What a stories behind each car. Love it.
I enjoyed that extremely informative 👍
Absolutely fantastic video. Straight to subscribe. Definitely some more videos needed! Maybe one about preparing a car that has just come in prior to it getting to showroom. The steps and checks you go through.

Excellent video. Special range of stock and enjoyed hearing about the histories. Hopefully in a few years I’ll be in for an entry level Ferrari!
Thank you for the presentation of your stunning inventory. Absolutely loved every second.
Thank you, such a lot of useful information on some very exciting exotic cars!
I'm sorry Tom iforgot to say I really enjoyed this very well put together programme .well done .
959 for me best car ever
The history and patina talk is what puts your offering apart from a lot of the tubers out there. Thank you for the walk around - fabulous collection (wow)!
Excellent video, really extensive knowledge. Thanks.
Great Video Tom. Thanks for sharing information on your inventory.
Clicked for the F40's stayed for all of the rest.
Great video, please make more as inventory changes, Thank You!
Passion speaks quietly. A collectors paradise. Very worthwhile hour.
Casually leans against a RHD 250GT SWB.........”we’ll decide whether to restore it in the next couple of weeks”. Fantastic video, completely different world that 99% of us will never have access but thank you so much for showing these works of art to us.
Good job. Thought I'd just browse but ended up watching from start to finish. You sure know your stuff.
cannot believe that hour went so quickly. incredibly informative Tom, look forward to future vlogs.
wow . thank you for sharing and telling us about the detail history .
Thank you very much Tom, very well explained.....I can not raise my budgets to these levels but it’s has been good to listen to you ....just have to stick with my MG C and Td for now good luck .... Ron
wow that Bugatti could do with a good polish but that aside fantastic cars and knowledge
Excellent video as always, I agree especially on the CGT and Enzo's consideration. Also, the "Italian's 1 owner point" is sadly accurate....
I'm salivating over this video. If I could obtain half or a third of this amazing collection, give or take a few of my own personal loves, I would wake up happy every single morning of each day no matter who was lying next to me.
What a really nice down to earth guy. You cant fault him.
A fabulous way to spend an hour or so indulging in the passion of cars.
Amazing showroom.. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Tom! Keep them coming
I remember when we he was a kid. Well done tom , that is a lovely collection
I remember reading an article in Car magazine (I think) about him buying and selling super cars when he was about 14 👍🏻
Stunning motor cars, with a brilliant over view
I cant stop watching this video.. holy god what a collection of cars and the stories that he knows and tells about them is even better.. well done sir
What unbelievable collection 👌🏽👌🏽
This is really cool. The video should have way more views and the channel should have way more subscribers. Quality and geeky content. Keep it up.
I would love Tom and Harry Metcalf chatting over a few classics.
Tom: Which car shall we film on the road for you guys?
RUclips: YES!
my god this collection is amazing .
Great one take stuff! Love the style and would be so interested to see more of these. I cannot believe you only have 631 subs!
Blimey! There looks to be quite a few scratches on that Bugatti at 32:50. Looks like it requires a real professional detail. Great video though Tom and fabulous knowledge
Thabks very much for letting us in for a look and dream at your stock, please keep these videos coming. Very enjoyable.
Really enjoyed this upload thanks very much - you missed one out...is that a mclaren m23 lurking in the corner behind the williams???
My God imagine being alive to own an original 330 all the way till 2011!!! That person has witnessed almost the entirety of racing history, definitely the best times in racing/cars.
Fantastic video. Thanks for uploading
Wow what a collection and a joy to look at everyday
Great vid. Amazing stock.
An absolutely fantastic video. Thankyou
met Enzo Ferrari in the Sandy Gate Hotel in Barbados when stayed there over forty five years ago very nice gentleman RIP
Great video, could listen for hours. No over the top editing and hyperbole but nicely done.
An hour of heaven

Great to hear Denny Hulme mentioned. Amazing driver, true gentleman and old school sportsman. Record 22 Can Am wins.
Your knowledge is incredible.
I'm always drooling over Tom's website...one day...
Wow, what a collection/inventory #livingthedream
Loved the video. Loved the knowledge. Loved the cars but more than anything loved the belt. Any chance of letting me know where its from?
Great video and knowledge. I watched the video maybe 5 or more times in the last month. My favourite 👍. I just wanna ask you Tom can you make a separate videos of the 288 gto and the miura but not less than 15 minutes please 😊👍🎄
If i was in England and wanted one of these cars, I’d buy a car from this guy for sure
You own all of my dream cars.
Yes ofcourse you do 🤣
Very interesting and informative. I'm glad you're a 288 fan...it's been my favourite car since they were launched (that could read as if I own one...not yet).
Wow, Tom. Best tour of a car collection I have ever seen. Rest assured, I will be watching every video you make - and, when you eventually receive an urn containing my ashes, please dig a hole and bury them under your Miura. Thanks in advance. B)
