The pivot towards reviews rather than projects has been a good move. You're quite good at it and have reviewed a really fantastically diverse group of cars. I hope you'll be able to continue as I have come to look forward to your videos.

Difficult one regarding the Influenzo. She's like your 'Gone in 60 Seconds' Eleanor and your battles with her really put your channel on the map. I'm sure the road tests are easier to film (and much much cheaper) but it really was the captivation of following basically a supercar being fixed by a relative novice (no disrespect intended) with the equivalent of a Haynes manual. For regular folk like me that's fascinating (and inspiring) to watch..

A sad day. I started watching your channel from the first Ferrari video and really enjoyed the content on this car and all the other since. I do prefer the videos where you weee problem solving and repairing as opposed to the review stuff but I realise this is a business for you now so you have to chase the views. Don’t get me wrong your car reviews are great as you have the ability to retain knowledge and real it off well in the videos without a script. It’s impressive as I can’t do that with my watch repair ! I’d still like to see the occasional repair video though its what founded the channel and for us long term subs I think we would appreciate it. 308 has always been a special car for me , I can never afford to own one but watching you with yours has been a joy so I will miss that . All the best Jack. It’s all for the right reasons I’m sure.

I subscribed because of the 308, but I stayed because of your enthusiasm, even when things went wrong. You will no doubt regret selling it, but you gotta do what you gotta do at this time .

I think a Mini Cooper S of the supercharged generation would be a great option for your daily hack. Inexpensive now, good handling and a massive opportunity to upgrade. Only other option I would suggest would be an Alfa Romeo Brera. Best looking hatchback ever made.

This hits hard. I subbed for the beautiful 308 and have enjoyed every minute of vid you've put up since. I can only hope you have something that will capture our imagination shortly. And bravo for the pajamas: it's only appropriate that you wear them near the 308! Good luck, Jack!

Loved seeing you work on your cars, do miss that: the BX vids were great and of course the influenzo

Love the cat🤣 no filter just doing it's own thing 👌😁

I had a S1 Elise in 1998. Sold it as my kids came along. It’s the only car I’ve ever truly regretted selling. Glad you’re keeping yours 👍

Must say Jack your Ferrari looks stunning in this vid, I'm not up on my prices but 60k sounds good value to me. I worked for a Peugeot dealer in what I think were there best years, from 90-98 so worked on new and used 205,309,106,405 and the 306. Again 9k for a sorted GTI6 sounds good to me, especially when you look at prices of 205's now. All the best with the sales, maybe throw in the Pyjamas with the Ferrari as a sweetener 😂

Sad to see the Ferrari go, it brought me to your channel and it's been a pleasure to see the progress made on her. Not sad to see either the Bentley or Pug leave, but delighted on the Elise, they are stunning little cars.

Pistachio's a little nut.

Hi Jack - I liked the project vids but really love the reviews. I like the eclectic mix of cars. You’re not just doing the obvious stuff, you really get into the back story and that’s fantastic.

That must have been a tough decision to make, Jack. I hope one day you get to review a Fiat 131 Sport or even an Abarth. Although you have owned many cars including German, and English, the Dino-engined Fiat or Pantera equivalents could be the Lamborghini V8s, or even a Strato's replica.

It’s a big call to sell the 308. To be brutally honest, it’s the car that brought me to your channel and without it on semi-rotation I can see myself drifting away…

I subbed to the channel to see your struggles with the Influenza and I was hooked! I can take or leave the reviews as there are so many others doing a similar thing. I enjoy the mechanical side of the channel and have missed that in the recent months. I understand why you do the reviews but it would be better if you could mix it up a little with some maintenance videos.

How about an Alfa 147 Ducati Corse for a daily? A lot of fun to drive with the Q2 LSD, more torque than a GTA, 45mpg and available in 5 door if you wanted..

As a long time subscriber, I do hope we haven't seen the end of you suffering through project car videos 😉

Hi Jack! Sorry to see the cars go, but everything for a reason. My advice on a nice sporty and daily driver, the Alfa Romeo 159 SW Ti with the 1750tbi engine. The Ti trim makes the looks! Had mine for 3 years and was so much fun to drive and a beautiful design too. Never had problems as long as buy one with a good history etc. The diesels seem pretty good too, but I just loved the 1750 because it’s a very lively engine and gives you that Italian touch which you will miss now the 308 is going 😢. Best of luck!

Totally agree with you on the Pug… Gti6 really is the benchmark hot hatch. Drove a press car in Oz a long time ago. A perfect blend of controlled firmess that Peugeot abandoned with the 307, lightning fast turn in, playfull lift off oversteer, probably less than claimed horsepower, good looks and reasonable safety. Good luck with plans mate.

I had a 306 GTi6 back in the day. Cost me my license for a while!! Good luck Jack with whatever replaces the Ferrari, can't wait. Thanks for all the great videos

End of an era, but I'm sure you'll have other great cars in the future. I do agree with your assessment that used car prices are definitely on the slide though. Good luck with the sales and glad to see you're keeping the Frankenlise - and using those tyres I brought over 👍

This gave me flash backs of Tyler Hoover.. Hope all is well. The Ferrari 'investment' words may come back to bite...

I think you should hold on to the Ferrari. At this point I consider it a "movie car", haha. But seriously, I think you'll regret selling it right now. Just a hunch.

“…the paintwork…” - purrfect timing there! 😂

Immensely sad to see your 308 go, Jack, but it was a pleasure to meet you both at Bicester Heritage last year. I only wish I had the funds to take it on. Like many others I too subscribed for the next tale of the achingly beautiful but frustrating InfluEnzo. Your updates kept me (and probably thousands of others) going through lockdown and inspired me to acquire my own bright red classic … and one engine rebuild and countless problems in, I’m also building a nice collection of experiences (and sheaf of bills!). Slightly surprised the Elise is staying but I can see how you’ve become attached (I’m less enamoured tbh). Thank you so much for keeping us all regaled with your ongoing tales over the last few years. We’ll all miss that and YT will be the poorer, but I wish you all good luck for your next endeavour, whatever it is. Do keep us posted on how it goes, and all the very best.

I don't think getting rid of the Ferrari 308 is a shrewd decision I think these will go up in value and styling by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti is one of the most beautiful cars ever made! That exquisitely sculpted bonnet is a sight to behold! plus the connection with Magnum, P.I. only adds to the appeal. The other two cars are less special not rare so no great loss. As a daily have you considered something special rare? a Lancia Thesis? they have high mileage capabilities! (known in Holland as the Italian Mercedes!) A Golf come-on! is not cutting it on this show! Nobody is interested! just saying.

An interesting view that you don’t believe these cars like the 308 to hold or increase in value Jack. I’d love a video to delve a bit more on why you think that is. Love the new addition to your family! Hilarious as he jumps on the bonnet😂 ps love your car reviews so glad you’re going more this way.

Don’t get rid of the Influenzo. 😢. You’ll regret it. I know it’s been like a troublesome family member. But she literally is family at this point. I think the 308’s will become more appreciated in the next 5-10 years. And price will follow.

So Jack, the S1 tops everything else, thought you’d discover that. That’s why everyone keeps them for ages. Most engaging car ever built. Hope the other cars sell quickly.

I will hate to see the 308 go! It was such a great journey and it has turned out so well. I really wish that you could keep it and enjoy it longer. It is indeed the car that attracted me and so many others to your fantastic channel.

I'll miss the influenzo. I like the projects personally.

After contemplation, I would replace Pepe with a Peugeot RCZ facelift, still keeping the Pepe brand, 4 seats, massive boot, double bubble roof very practical for day to day and future unicorn. Second choice BMW Z4 Coupe, drive it forever nice boot all the mod cons, driving pleasure slightly heavy on fuel but the sport button compensates and unicorn status. Instead of the Bentley there are so many great Maseratis with Ferrari engines for a bargain prices if you know what to look for, my favorite is still the Spyder in silver with oxblood interior. As for the 308, the only car you can really replace that with is the 288 GTO because no car on this planet looks better - especially a 77 that you brought back to life, the Lazarus Enfluenzo is part of our KZfaq culture now - keep it. Although its not really my recommendations its just my garage but you and JayEmm have been so inspirational in my collection I just had to let you know, love your channel I've been restoring my 308 GTS '77 for 15 years now and had nearly all the same issues you did, I wish you were around when i started , but loved solving the problems it presented, and so satisfying when you hear that V8 burble the way Enzo intended Look forward to seeing your new garage e buona fortuna per tutto amico mio!

Sounds like almost the standard. My Opel Astra as winter and bad weather driver needed new rear springs, front breaks, a/c cooler, brake lines - at least all independent issues, nothing where you can say neglect has destroyed more costly parts. Cost a fortune. The Opel Calibra as sunny weather car is now hopefully halfway through, was way easier to get through the TÜV.

My daily beater is a Peugeot 306SW Bluetech Diesel Alure spec with top optional leather, zero road tax UELZ friendly 60 plus mpg. not very inspiring I know but really god on the pocket. On a recent run to Holland and back it managed 800 miles on one tank of fuel.

I'm only here because of the 308. It proves that you can own an exotic sports car and maintain it yourself. You should keep the 308, drive it and keep improving it with new episodes covering it.

Good luck with your sales Jack. I can understand how it’s with a heavy heart, older cars become part of your family / household etc ; I’m sure , when the time comes, and if you decide to replace, your viewers will be keen to be part of that experience!

A collection worth many a smile, still there is something good about keeping the stock and interest moving and interesting. An idea for a milemuncher: Peugeot 607 2.7HDI 😀

None of the cars floats my boat, but I'd be happy to put an offer in for Pistachio - super cute.

I haven’t watched many review videos , they are done better on better cars elsewhere. The poverty project cars, especially the Ferrari. is why I subscribed.

I would definitely 100% agree with you Jack keeping the Lotus a sports car is for driving pleasures and as such there is No better car than the lotus well done mate

Perfect comic timing by Pistachio! 😄

Gotta agree with others here. I found the project videos far more engaging and real. I understand that review videos get more views but I hope they don’t fizzle out and lost with the masses. All that said, there is only so much that you could do with the 308 and it was inevitable that at some stage it would be a finished project. In a way a bit like PH, I love reading the real life projects and readers cars. I find them much more engaging than the latest super car review. In any case, I wish you well and thank you for the good memories with the 308 during our lockdown times! All the best

Having thoroughly enjoyed all the Influenzo videos I'm sorry to see the 308 go but, speaking for myself, it wasn't the reason I subbed at the time. That was for the Frankenlise and since then I picked up my own Elise and am glad you are keeping yours. It just covers all the bases for driving experience and there's just nothing like it I find. Good luck with your sales and looking forward to future videos as always :)

Sleeperdude went to Body Tech school in Tennessee, worked at a Body Shop for 15 years, lives on a farm / or in a rural area, and buys stuff stuck in the mud for next to nuthin.' He has a garage AND HAS BUILT A BIGGER ONE. Gets help from his kids. Without a car hoist, tools galore, uber experience, and some climate environment, restoration is a tough road. He sells merch. Sarah n tune is selling restoration then reviews with Va Va Va Voom !!!

As a daily driver, a SEAT Toledo V5 (20 valve) would be good - I have one. Wonderful sonorous and torquey engine in a very low-key bodyshell. Good luck finding one!

Yep, MK7 Golf (GTI/GTD). Best all-around fun daily!

Hi Jack, I thproughly enjoy your projects and tests. As you appear to njoy Italian cars, I would suggest looking into a Giulietta or a nice 159 Sportwagon as a daily with a good combo of practicality and Character 🙂

I love your reviews. They are not generic repeats of each other and you pick cars that are truly exciting and different. Most cars you review are the ones I like, so keep going. I am sure you’ll consider an odd repair video if you get something as exiting as the Influenzo. Wish I could afford it. From the States :)

Why ?????? Disagree with you on the investment, the 308 will always be worth something, better have it in that than money in the bank. Sell the others, I do get it, but not that one. If you are selling it, look at the European markets as yours is a LHDnd should go for more. To replace the 306 as a daily ...what price ?

At 2 minutes the price could just have dropped by £1000

Sad to see with the 308. I'm going through similar with my early 996 at the moment. Five years and never wanted to sell it, but other things in life need attention. The MX5 i've had for ten years that was supposed to go when I got the Porsche has survived and will receive renewed focus. I always find once once a car has gone, it's never as bad a feeling as I imagine it to be. Onwards to different things!

For a daily driver I recommend a Mini R59 Roadster Cooper SD. I have a 80mile commute on twisty Norfolk roads and can't think what more fun you could have costing so little to run

A wrecked Lotus or a finally good running great looking Ferarri GTS ...pick your choice. Anyway, three cars out: what will be new soon?

Happy to see you in the influenzo outfit again! Jack, of course you’ll regret selling the Ferrari. Alas, you must do what you must do. Sadly, I know how this feels.Thanks for sharing with us and best of luck moving forward. Cheers amigo

Sad day Jack! Been with you since the start & it’s been quite a ride. Looking forward to the next chapter!

If that 308 was mine, I would never be able to sell it....😢

I’ll be sad to see the 308 go - but……it has been a very interesting and entertaining chapter in the channel’s history, and, it introduced me to the quite brilliant Iain Tyrell, whose own channel provides peak classic car content. Your car reviews are doing brilliantly - I don’t know where you’re finding the cars, but recently you’ve had some really exotic and interesting stuff! Onwards and upwards - I’ll bet you’ve already got your eyes on a Pantera!

What an amazing experience you have had . . . What will be your next move be to surpass everything you have done so far? Good luck with the sales, enjoy a holiday break perhaps

Daily wise, Brera or 159 Sportwagen with 2.4 JTDm diesel engine.

2:02 Merde. Scare Bleau, you cannot get rid of a Peugeot...😭

You need a Reliant Robin or a Trabant for your daily ;)

The answer to everything is an e39 5-series. Take your pick 530d to M5. Ed

I had a 308GTS which I sold 20 years ago to get my deposit for a house - I still miss it and not, at the same time. Good luck with the sale; someone is going to get a well sorted Ferrari...

I drive a manual MK 7 Golf GTD that I bought at 3 years old, which had every options box checked at new (including the Sport and Sound pack that added the sport exhaust which makes it sound like a 5 cylinder petrol) and its honestly the best all rounder I have ever owned including over more expensive cars. Brilliant little car and highly recommended if you were thinking about going down that route. Happy and on motorway while returning 60MPG and great fun on the B roads too. I cant bring myself to part with it.

Thinking of getting a Pantera - now your talking!

I'm sad to see these go, I'm amazed at how much the Peugeot can bring in, but I understand that time forgives nobody and it's good to sell while the prices are good. Can't wait to see your new daily! Perhaps a W211 diesel? They are indestructible and amazingly comfortable.

I'm not so sure certain classic car models won't be a good investment especially if they are analog, limited edition and produced under an iconic brand name. I bet they will increase in value even more when the electric hype will tank most likely due to battery issues and cost.

Jack! I'm so glad you are keeping the cat😁 My 3 cats sends greetings. I understand this is a hard decision, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Wish you all well into the future. As many here, I came for the InfluEnzo. Today I love your short tests and history around so interesting cars. "Hit the road Jack" (no pun intended). All the Love from Sweden Jack!

This is the nature of the beast, once a car is all sorted and driving beautifully, it is just a lawn ornament as far as content creation is concerned. Sad to see the Influenzo go as it was a real struggle to sort out and really built your channel. I'm sure something will come along to replace it. I enjoy your wrenching videos more than your car reviews but I do watch the car reviews too. Your love of automobiles is your strongest asset. Happy motoring.

Glad your keeping the Elise everything can be fixed cheap on them I’ve had mine for 19 year and can’t see me getting rid anytime soon .loved the 308 but aways a ticking time bomb 👍

Hi, I'm your subscriber from Lithuania :) As a daily instead 306, I suggest trying a Giulietta QV. It's pretty cheap to buy, quite reasonable on fuel, has a smooth yet composed ride, and has enough power. One thing I could complain about is the engine noise, which is soulless. Otherwise, the car impresses much, the styling and brakes are fantastico!

“The paint is perfect “!as Pistachio skids across the bonnet with 12 razors

The second I saw the cat I knew it would return to get on camera and jump onto the cars

Mk7 Golf GTD is a cracking choice, just bought one myself and well impressed with it

It's a sad day, Jack, but you need to do what's best for you. I must admit, it was the Influenzo that made me start watching, but I will continue to support your channel. Buona fortuna with all three sales 👍🇦🇺

Bring on the future Jack. Freshen the fleet up and bring us more ' forgotten car ' reviews👍

I agree with you that the value of classic cars is about to plummet.

The market is about to plummet. Not selling any of ours. Our Elise is just a lovely little fun box, Golf Country whacky and good for jobs (roof rack and towbar), Integrale evo2 (we bought for 11k so I dont care, could never afford one now), Golf GTI mk5 5-door bog standard still like a new car. Would be nice to see a channel who visits people with cool cars and has a bit of story. Rock up with a Fiat Dino and have a coffee and a chat. Just a thought.

Have to say as a sensible but slightly fun daily the Golf GTD is probably a really good choice or the Skoda VRS option if you want a bigger boot . Good luck with the sales

Get yourself a Mercedes E350cdi Coupe. Brilliant car. Late 2011 onwards with the straight DRL lights are 265bhp. Brilliant comfortable mile muncher V6 Diesel. Search for cars with Harmon Kardon as they tend to have lots of extras.

I’ve had 58 cars in 26 years and the only one I regret selling is my s1 Elise. Had much faster, much more exotic, much more expensive but none I bonded with more. Good decision!

Sad to see the car that ultimately boosted your channel to where it is today but good idea to sell that it's actually behaving right now and running well haha. If you want a more modern daily car that's still fun, I would personally recommend an F56 Mini Cooper S, very fun handling, comfortable, remapped from 192hp to 270hp at lohen mini, while still getting 40-50mpg and extremely reliable, absolutely love it.

You need another Italian classic to keep the momentum going, if you sell the Infuenzo 🙌🏼

F56 series mini SD with JCW pack ( not a full JCW ). I have two one of which I keep Italy and drive back every year . Great cars plenty of power and incredible economy!! Well built as pure BMW . I love mine and I used to have Jaguar XKR’s but the Mini is more fun but also very comfortable.

Similar predicament, sold my precovid purchase 1976 911 project once finished and bought a cheaper 280z. You seem to like them so maybe that will suit? The F56 Cooper SD or 3dr 125d make interesting economical daily commuters. Good luck with the sales, I certainly haven't found it easy lately

@Jack "Why my fleet...all have to go". But there's no explanation of the why...

Not the Influenzo! I understand. This is the video that I watched after having my first "mild" heart attack. I hope that the shock doesn't kill me Jack!! 😂🤣 I hate it for you. The three of them are cars that I would love to have. Nice video as always Jack.

The trouble with cars like these is you have to take good care of them. Even wash them now and again to stop the mould forming.

The Elise is the one I would have kept aswell. Look forward to you buying another project.

Looking forward to the next iteration of cars, love the cat, although British short hairs are good companions! I think we'll all miss the Influenzo. De Tomaso next, hopefully :).

You’ve got a car from the 80s, 90s and 00s there. Quite a neat line up and a nice angle for the channel which, let’s face it, focuses on modern classics. Why not stick to that formula when considering replacements? Personally, although I’ve followed the Influenzo journey from the start, and loved the videos themselves, I’m not particularly stuck on the car. Likewise the 306 and Bentley. If you’ve reached the end of the road, move on. My suggestions (based purely on personal preference but which seems uncannily aligned with your own) would be: 70s/80s: Beta Montecarlo, Datsun 240/60/80 or even 300ZX, Citroen, Alfa Montreal 😃 80s/90s: TVR Griffith/Chimera, Alfa 164, 996 (back to the 964 days!), early Boxster. You could run a 996 daily and troubleshooting that would be great viewing! 90s/00s: Saab 900, Aston DB7/9, Audi S5, BMW 645 Can’t wait for updates!

I agree that internal combustion cars will eventually tank in value, however, I think there will be an exception in the market for exotics/collector cars.

Love all the vids and what ever the plans are I'm with you. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is outstanding and could wach and listen to you talk about paint drying and being entertained. Keep up the amazing work and I love the PJ, s . Man 🎉🎉👍👍🙌

During the years of troubleshooting, every test drive had the exciting potential of proving it worked better than before. Now that it looks and runs great every drive becomes an anxiety filled opportunity for a new problem to develop with repair costs that could wipe out the value you've added. Be proud of your achievement and let another enthusiast share the joy and pain of owning such a car.

Everyone has it hard at the moment: especially since Truss. Hope you get the money you want for them.

In Britain you have very unique spec toyota prado 3 doors with steel wheels you probably gonna see Mclaren Senna in street more than Prado with that spec

Hi Jack, love the cat Pistachio, sad to hear you're selling the Influenzo as that was the car that got me into your channel. Also It's the prettiest Ferrari in my opinion.

Keep the revolving door going, it’s entertaining, I had my last car for 20 years… 😅

I don't have one, but if I was looking for a daily it would be a Golf R estate. Stage 3.
