My annual Harry's Garage round-up. What I spent on the Countach & Testarossa refresh, Jaguar XJC V12 injector issues and all the other costs needed to keep my collection of 22 cars and 15 bikes in tip-top condition.

Harry is singlehandedly keeping the British Car Maintenance Industry in business.

@SigMan66 5 ай бұрын

No bragging, not flaunting....just what he did and what he spent. We all know Harry is wealthy and he doesn't make it a thing, that's one of his best qualities. Some say British auto journalists are snobs...never got that from Harry at all. Great episode!

Fascinating to understand the costs involved in running a fleet like this. I recently added up all the bills for my old 911, £30000 in maintenance over 120k miles since it was new in 2004. Almost the same as the fuel bills!

I've had 2 Mondeo Mk3 diesels, bought them for 70k mls each at £4k...took them to 440k each...just a clutch each...exhaust bk box and my own oil changes....bargain for me....poor engineering/build on these cars

@padraigmcinerney412 5 ай бұрын

£1,500 a year for what seems to be a car that is driven to be enjoyed as well as a daily driver seems like good value. I’m sure that others would baulk at the cost but we all need an outlet/hobby-some of which cost considerably more.

@jonnowocky8179 5 ай бұрын

Testarossa seems the sweet spot between outlay and reward to me, great to see it looking and sounding so sharp and tidy now. Unreal cost on the Countach which makes me think there can only be a handful in the world running and riding as well at that one now…

Every time that I see Harry's lovely Silver Shadow, I swear that I want to get out the Tools, and re-align that front Chrome Bumper, the part that wraps around the offside Wing. The Arctic trip was something very special (to me), and exceeds almost every other adventure. For an Ebay Buy, it's an exceptional vehicle, and so glad that Harry loves it too!
