I don't really watch the channels with the cars coming in, being fixed and going out again, except for HubNut and Aging Wheels, so maybe having a lockup full of cars is fine if they're worth peanuts in total hehe . I used to watch B is for Build, but I haven't watched one of those in ages now, I think I got bored with the write off Lamborghini projects.

Ivan’s Shed.

Has a pretty interesting series about a rare 2 cylinder A series engine designated for the mini which he had to manufacture parts in order for it work. He also has a rather unique Bugatti midget project too.

Kevin-Albert Williams Mobile Clutch Service.

Bit of a guilty pleasure watching this fella replace clutches on people’s driveways.

Watched a few, they get boring very quickly as as usual the channel ends up being about the person rather than the cars, so I usually last about 3 or 4 an quit. Same as most channels with presenters actually, I much prefer just footage.

Not sure if been mentioned, but I like Soup Classic Motoring for the style, pacing, editing, etc. Just wish he’d get a move on smile
Bit of a thread bump but I only just discovered Soup Classic Motoring and think it deserves another mention on here. His stop motion style is just incredible and like nothing else out there. He's just one guy pouring his heart and soul into making youtube videos and deserves the recognition.
Agree with Soup, OCD is off the scale! but it will be a cool looking thing in the end, if he ever gets to the end

Talking of projects lasting forever, Project Blinky is still not finished but is well worth a watch

And as has been mentioned Tyrrells classic workshop is a gem to enjoy

For more 'energised' stuff look tothe US with Tavarish and Hoovies,

Currently enjoying catching up with Rattarossa and his rapidly-spiralling-costs resurrection of the driveway-find Ferrari 512BB.

I originally thought "he's a bit of a wide boy" but as I watch him and his relatively hands-on attitude it's becoming more interesting, and he seems to have a genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject.

Good stuff.

I think all of my favourites have been mentioned already with the exception of Budget Buildz. His series of rebuilding an air cooled 911 that he literally found in a scrapyard is inspirational. He's done it on a very limited budget and a lot of hard work.
I enjoy the videos he does on the Porsche, but some of the others I end up turning off. That Porsche is going to look lovely once he's done with it.

I started watching his series on the 512BB but I do find him hard to watch sometimes. I'm about three updates behind at the moment and just can't bring myself to invest the time in watching them.

Like most on here, Harry's Garage is probably number one.

I also enjoy one called High Peak Autos, which is a car sales guy who reviews cars he has for sale. He's got a good presentation style and enjoyable for when he has cars that I'm interested in.

AMMO NYC is great when he's doing big detailing on cars that have never been washed, thoroughly enjoyable vids.

More occasionally than frequently these days (as all the vids are pretty samey) would be Shmee, Tavarish, Doug and Hoovie. But I like them for occasional views and background viewing.

Stopped watching Cleetus when he came out as a full-on Covidiot and his negligence left a young lad severely burned.

Adam LZ and his girlfriend Collete Davis are worth a watch if you like mostly Japanese machinery mostly going sideways.

JayEmm On Cars is worth a watch for sensible reviews of interesting machinery, although I remain convinced that the cheap Gallardo he bought recently is a reshelled ringer.

Wesley Kagan is awesome. He's built his own prototype computer controlled valve train and put it first on a single cylinder engine, then on a Miata. He's now looking at designing and building active-suspension
