This, combined with the restoration of the Jag, the car reviews and the Dakar-bike series = top notch content.

This is absolutely frightening level of restoration, and completely compelling. It's hard to believe it will work out in the end with four straight wheels and a bulletproof engine for rallying. It's a lovely sports car, a true gem. Nice work & dedication by these fellas, such confidence. This kind of skill in workmen is a national treasure.

There's a fine line between flawless and floor-less.

It's great to see poeple like Harry are prepared to get their cars restored properly and remove years of shoddy repairs by previous owners.

Two restauration projects at the same time. 😳 You’re a brave man mr Metcalfe - and a true Motörhead .......... in the best sense. It’s really pleasing for a bloke like me, who only can enjoy the cars i see on the web, to see the skill’s and determination performed at the workshops you’ve chosen.

Those carbs look like a work of mechanical art.

That's a joy to see. What a lovely little gem it'll be when it'll be finished. Zagato had a bit of a reputation for... Less than stellar workmanship, let's say. But, after all, nobody at the time imagined that the cars they were making would still be around 50 years down the line. Thank you for sharing these fascinating videos and for raising awareness about Lancia's great cars, which I think are a bit underrated at the moment.

Nice to see proper mechanics at work, not just service tech's

We are lucky that there are people like Harry with the resourses and enthusiasm to keep these cars on the road to be appreciated in the future.

It’s a joy listening to and watching these men work...... they are truly professional 👍👍

Harry has an enviable life but you can't begrudge him it because he's made it himself and he's a gent. Great stuff.

Lovely to see the progress, Harry. She's looking good - more than very good, really - and she's going to be a different drive for you when she's finished! Probably a lot less draughty too! There'll certainly be a lot less flex in the body, that's for sure! ...and that little V4 - what a corker of an engine and as you say, such a neat little feat of engineering. From the top down it looks like a box, yet the bores are actually on a slant - and 7000rpm limit right off the bat! The Italians certainly had some great engineers when it came to engine building. Like you, I've heard many theories as to the 'running in period', but the proof was in the pudding for me many years ago. A mate had an A35 van with a very tired 948 that we swapped out for a late model Morris Minor 1100 that we'd done up in his bedroom after the bores were ground and honed, with new pistons, rings, bearings - the works. Hooked her all up, pulled the starter and the engine turned over slowly as she was so tight. Not enough lube when putting her together I think and the engine locked up after a couple of minutes intermittent cranking. Towed it up the steep hill of the road he lived on and he got in, put it in 2nd, let her roll and dropped the clutch - and the little van screeched to a stop with the back wheels locked up. I stood on the towbar (a source of much leg-pulling considering what vehicle it was on), holding onto the roof gutter and told him to use third gear when we tried the manoeuvre again. Sure enough - that did the trick. Oil pressure was almost instant and by the time we had travelled the half mile down the hill, the engine was running free enough that it would run on its own without help from gravity and turning wheels. We took the car for a 30 mile run in the countryside - not pushing it hard nor nursing it, just driving normally - and by the time we got home, the van wasn't idling - it was purring and happily pulling itself along at an increasingly rapid pace when driven. We shut her down for a couple of hours, then started her up again - no problem. From that point, he drove her with a bit more vigour and it was amazing how much go that little engine had. The engine was still running strong some 70k miles later when he sold the car - 40PSI oil pressure at warm idle and no rattles or knocks. Since then, I've been a staunch member of the "just drive it" camp. I've also seen where someone has babied an engine for 500 miles on a 'run in' and ended up with a smoking engine after a few thousand more, so that has just added to my resolve. If she's going to fly apart, she's going to do it in a catastrophic way in the first fifty miles whether the engine is babied or driven normally, so why not let the engine know how you are going to treat it right from the start? Looking forward to seeing this baby again, Harry - she's a beautiful car both in looks and in sound - and worth every penny you are putting into her being put right in the proper manner. All the best.

That little Lancia has to be my favourite car in Harry's garage. What a gem of an engine. Say all you like about Italian build quality but Boy! Can they make a beautiful small engine. Watching this video is a joy!

The craftmanship is incredible. I loved this car how it was originally but after seeing the care that's being put into it, it's going to be amazing when its all put back together. I watch a lot of car build videos but there's clearly levels to this shit. Thanks Harry for the excellent content!

I like the running in advice, that's someone who has been there and done it. Great update.

That's the coolest and most unusual 4 cylinder engine I've ever seen! The sound before restoration was great, cant wait to hear it in the finished car.

There should be a Pulitzer Prize awarded "best restoration videos"...this one, the V-12 Jag...

The one thing I’ve got from this restoration and the jag is that we still have highly skilled craftsmen in this country, shame that there isn’t the apprentices coming through. But really great content Harry, thanks for taking us with you.

So many people use “the potential value” of the vehicle to justify its restoration. It is refreshing to see a great job being done by masters of their craft just for the sake of doing it. The car will have value anyway because a) it is a zagato b) it is “famously” owned by Harry Metcalfe and c) the entire build has been documented. That said, you can see that this is an affair of the heart and it is brilliant. I have learned so much from all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

Fascinating engine, never did understand the Lancia V4 layout,got it now ta Harry

Day & Whites have done stellar work on my Zagato, including installing a Facet fuel pump and a 123 Ignition system. So pleased they are doing your car to the same high standards.

This is going to be one heck of a pretty little and rare car. Finally fixed well after years of botching! Can’t imagine anyone doing this to a Tesla in 50 years. Boooo to disposable cars with built in obsolescence. Surely cars like this are the greenest ones on the planet! Well done Mr M and all of the specialist guys involved in resurrecting your fleet!!

My mum and Harry - the two people left in the UK still saying "mega" unironically.

Thanks for the inside look at this fascinating machine, especially that amazing little engine. I’ve seen many photos of the Lancia narrow-angle 4, but none to this degree of detail. Odd that with all that engineering cleverness, Lancia went with a simple leaf-sprung beam axle at the rear.

Wow those webbers look incredible fully restored. Love the summons as well. Another great video Harry

Fabulous to see those guys working on the car. Passion and knowledge. Just genius ! Can't wait to see more on the Lancia, the Jag Coupe and the Dakar bikes. Amazing stuff

Going to be a very special video the day we get to hear the V4 burst back in to life. So interesting to be following this story. Great viewing. Thanks Harry.

I've watched all of Harry's content religiously, ever since the beginning , and I especially enjoy these types of videos. Getting to watch the both the Lancia and the Jag through the various stages of restoration and engine rebuilds has been a real treat. Plus, it's always great to watch real professional craftsmen ply their trades.

Thank you so much for showing us all of this. Really good to see such a lovely car being restored so fastidiously. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you again

Wow! Those guys really know what they're doing! Great to see things being done properly. :0)

these boys know their stuff, as said educational

Those engine parts are like jewelry. Work of art ❤️ And that unique head design 😯. Going to have to do some reading up on these cars

Great to hear and see the progress it's gonna be beautiful. Wow 180 hours labour so far (must at least 10 grand) and still plenty to go. Thank you so much for your video

Blimey No.4 - 180 hours just on the body shell. This is a labour of love. The engine and other mechanicals however are starting to look on point.

Awesome update, such a privilege to see one of these being worked on to this level.

Really enjoying this build, love to see these great craftsmen bringing it back to probably better than new, cant wait to see it finished and driving.

I like how these projects are filmed as well. So you can actually see what’s going on in some detail. Very interesting.

A proper job. This little car strikes me as being so worthy of this detailed attention. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulders.

its briliiant to see stuff like this done - the hard bit isnt the resto - its the fixing of other peoples work/notwork - also the running in thing is 100% what he said - weve got a 21 van that apart from waiting till its warm gets beasted everywhere 6k miles and no bother so far - so what yer chap said is completely right - done the same with motorcycles and never had an issue

Thank you Harry! Exciting to see this project enter the turn around phase (shiny bits going back together). Make sure they torque your engine bearings to spec, looked sort of just "tight". Body looking much better. thank you for the awesome content.

So good to see all the work being done to this fabulous car. It really is going to be a joy to drive. Thanks Harry.

Welcome to another edition of ‘Harry’s Bank Manager’. Great to see this car being rebuilt to such a high standard and thank you Harry for letting us see it evolve.

Wonderful update, that engine is a piece of art! Thoroughly love this series, thanks Harry!

I used to work on these things, Alfas too, in the 70s, Fulvias, Flavias and then it all went downhill with the Beta. There's nothing to beat the sound of an engine with a decent bit of valve overlap drawing its air through a pair of sidedraught Webers.

Absolutely fascinating, loving these updates and the ones on the Jaguar.

These guys are doing beautiful work, a great car and history.

Such a fascinating project. So glad you’re covering it all. Terrific.

The level of craftmanship here is amazing Harry, it's like the whole frame is new. I'm in awe. This guys have nothing to envy to the coachbuilders of the era. I have no words.

What a mechanic! This man deserves a round of applause. True skill.

I'm amazed at how well those parts cleaned up. Awesome work! The carburetors look brand spanking new!

James May closed his tab when seeing all these tools being in one pile at the start of the video ;)

Jonny Smith (Late Brake Show) and then Harry Metcalfe - perfect on a rainy Sunday! Thanks guys for super-interesting videos!

Great to watch...21 minutes felt like 10. Seeing all those lovely shiny refurbed parts must feel like Christmas morning as a kid. It's literally going to be better than new.

I love these video updates and makes me appreciate my fully (restored) MGB even more: no so special, but solid engineered (for 1960’s) Thanks Harry!

Harry's Garage, always a pleasure. Thanks!

This is tremendous. Such painstaking attention to detail and commitment to doing a proper job. Can’t wait to see the finished article, it’ll be stunning.

More great content from the grand Daddy of KZfaq, these restorers are amazing it's so good seeing craftmanship still left in the UK

Wonderful. I absolutely love the Fulvia and Lancia in general

Looking fabulous. I can’t wait to see it completed.

These guys are amazing the workmanship is unbelievable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very cool that Lancia. Thanks for sharing!!

This little car is just a stunner. It’s my favourite in Harry’s collection. The engine is just such a beautiful compact little unit and with those twin 40s, the engine bay will be a delight to behold. Really been enjoying these restoration videos punctuated with the bikes. Won’t be long before the jag gets its new paint too so plenty going on.

Nice update Harry. Lovely to see old classics being restored, Lancia had some ground breaking design... A different way to do things, such a pity they are no longer around.

Great to see all the details of what is happening. I somehow missed parts 2 and three so had to go back and catch up. I'm glad I did!

This should look great when it's finished. I would implore you to paint it factory yellow (if they had one). Black just hides too many of the details and grey is well.... just grey. The red one next to yours is gorgeous too. What a labor of love. Can't wait to see it completed.

What fantastic skills on show. It’s great to see truly skilled tradesmen at work.

Really enjoy your updates Harry - Thank You!

It's great seing true craftsman at work. This the Jag and the Espada have been really interesting projects. Sometimes wish I could just sent my car off for a professional restoration. I'm missing the road trip videos but fully understand why they are currently on hold. I've actually been researching some of the ones with the Esprit and Testarrosa.

I love watching these old boys at work, a lifetimes experience and expertise 👌🏼

Best motoring KZfaq channel bar none.

I absolutely love seeing engines rebuilt "properly" like this by people who really know their stuff. Very interesting to hear the "20 minute" run-in rule condoned by an experienced engine builder. Running in is possibly the most argued about topic for new/rebuilt engines, the subject of many a heated discussion over a pint!

Harry - You are such a Brave classic owner enduring this hardship! Lancia 'Legion of Honour' is for you!

I like John's whole demeanour. He's obviously a knowledgeable man with an appealing sense of humour... 👍

Absolutely love watching these restorations , it’s making me and I’m sure everyone else to start thinking about pumping some money into our classics to restore them

You're going to love driving that once it's all back together and running nicely! I love Webbers, the sound is always sweet.

Oh the content harry the best by far on the whole internet and on two vehicles so close to my own experience , bravo harry top quality

I just LOVE these videos! Thank you Harry!

That was a joy to watch, thank you. What a beautiful little car.

Brilliant to see the progress, thanks for sharing 👍

Loved every minute of that, thanks Harry.

A great visit, really enjoyed it and what good guys they are. 👍

Good work Harry...it is so nice to see that engine being so carefully reassembled. The body is frightening...don’t buy an old Lancia!...but more frightening is the bill...at least £25,000 in labour already surely! Keep going..it’s only money!!!😱😱😎😎😎😎

A world I have no knowledge of but it's absolutely fascinating. They have such knowledge and understanding of the right way as the only way to approach it. Be great to see your maiden drive!

Brilliantant restoration, I am not a Lancia fan but I appreciate the rebuild excellent work, I was unaware of the craftsmanship existed in 2021. Emissions come to mine with Sadiq Khan being reelected. I gather this car will be used for the track days. Good report from true professionals.

Not for the faint hearted... Nice showcase of enthusiasm and craftsmanship, though. Thank you for bringing us along on the journey!

Nice to see craftsmanship from the bodywork to the engine rebuild Carbs look like new, just shows it pays to keep everything you never know when you will need it Harry has nerves of steel having two cars restored at the small time. Enjoyed the video cheers 👍🚗🚗

Hello Harry . The're bringing the bodywork back from the brink and there are definitely comprises being made but essentially the're making a silk purse out of a sows ear ! But that engine is looking sweet. Your certainly a glutten for punishment with this and the Jaguar! Thanks Harry.

I just binch watched the four episodes and I loved it. And I learned so much! Thanks!

Very satisfying to see the progress on these cars. Especially coachbuild stuff like this.

Looks great Harry can’t wait to see it back on the road

Fantastic work going on with Lancia

“Good job, it’s not a V12!” Love that comment Harry! Lancia piston madness!

That was so good to see - Thanks Harry

I can't wait to see it finished, it's going to be a sweet machine. 👍👍🏆🏁

This is going to be absolutely awesome when it’s finished!😍

Incredible engineers, proper men there, I'm in awe of their skills.

Harry I think only you could get the platinum service you are getting on all your restorations from different garages because you are you!

Haven't seen a Harry's Garage video for quite a few days now. Mr M never disappoints. Thought I'd see this latest Zag resto video first and watch the Cagiva Elefant video later. Always look forward to watching a HG video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing once again from Harry's garage, I just hope the farm has a cracking year of productivity as between this and the Jag I imagine some of those bills coming in are eye wateringly expensive. Great to see this car get the expertise, care and attention it needs to bring it back from the brink.

Wonderful thanks for sharing Harry
