It had a 007-ish reg plate so I expect so.

I really liked his latest video, although got me wondering how he decides which car to take to the shops.

There was a couple of things that were hidden it seems. I think most of us on here would dream of a garage like that. I think there is a car for every occasion in there somewhere!
I imagine they are either being stored for friends, or he's borrowed them to review at some point.

All sorts of interesting cars lurking in the background which may or may not belong to him. I spotted a 30's Bentley, Mercedes Pagoda, 205 GTi and possibly an Allard with a few more under covers. No mention of the Maserati either that was proudly pushed to the front

I don't think he's a very good presenter, and he manages to make an interesting subject (cars) very dull.

I think his laid back reviews are a refreshing change from other presenters who are desperate to be a new Clarkson. Very enjoyable.

Now that is a dream garage. Sling a hammock and a coffee machine in the corner and I'd be fine to live in it.

I think he's one of the best. He comes across a really enthusiastic, normal bloke without any gimmicks like fancy photography etc, just passion. He's doing the videos because he wants to rather than doing them because its his job

My thoughts exactly. I'd never heard of the bloke before today.

I think you're on your own there, I think he's fantastic!

Had the pleasure of meeting Harry at Salon Privé breakfast a few weeks ago. Top man who took the time for a picture and brief chat.

Really like his videos, in depth and they give a real insight into what these cars are like to own.

New vid - update on the GT2 replica
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp-CwxIDlWw


Interesting, he mentions that he went to the mission motorsport event last year in the Jag Project 7, and cuts to a photo of it, but have a look at the sign above the Jag in his 'pit garage'...

New Alfa Spider review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sxaMxzf0UA

Good but the bald front P6000 made me flinch - a new one would be lethal enough.

Haha, I never spotted it was bald, just noticed they were P6000 tyres.

Been watching his channel since it started, also when all his videos were on the Evo channel. The videos are good enough quality for the purpose. I feels laid back and like they're being done for fun. Each one is loaded with information and shows cars in detail that I'll never get to see otherwise.

agreed
Great that although he is obviously a very wealthy chap he doesn't shout about it like say Tim Burton aka Shmee.
Its funny though watching the Alfa spider video and thinking it needed a few subtle mods if it were mine, like the wider tyres and a more vocal engine to really enjoy it as a drivers car, just what he said it needed. Love the fact he can get as much enjoyment driving low powered basic cars as he can out of the most exotic of supercars.

The mark of a true car guy. Pretensions about having to show off aren't there. It's not fake or a public image. Feels honest.

As for the others you mentioned, I'd rather stare at vomit on dog siht.
