Outlines
😆 Intro to car video and owner Martin
The video is set in a shed with many interesting cars. The owner Martin met the host at Goodwood and invited him to see the Beast car that the host had filmed previously. Martin bought cars he was interested in rather than for investment.
😍 Martin's journey into cars
Martin grew up in a family of teachers where money was tight. His interest in cars started when a Bentley blew past them as a child. He was frustrated having a push mower while a neighbor had a petrol one. Later in life he had the means to fulfill his passion.
🚗 Walking through the garage
They tour the garage seeing various cars. Notable ones included a Metro 6R4 Group B rally car previously driven by Colin McRae, a Rover SD1 race car, a rare unrestored early Range Rover, and Martin's daily driver Mercedes 280SE.
🚒 The Rolls Royce 'Beast'
This car caused controversy by using a Rolls radiator grill. Martin added it back after buying the car and got approval from Rolls. It has a Merlin V12 engine, not a Meteor as some claim online.
😍 The DB5 and other Astons
The DB5 was bought because it features in James Bond films. An unrestored red DB5 is discussed along with a DB9 manual and a DBS straight 6. The host sees the appeal after not being an Aston fan before.
🏎 Diverse classics: Honda S600 to F1
More cars shown including a Peugeot 205 GTI, 70s F1 Hesketh, 60s F1 BRM, Audi Quattro, Lotus Elan, rare Austin Allegro, and more. Martin bought based on interest not investment.
💙 Highlight: pristine Triumph 2500 PI
A totally original, low mileage Triumph 2500 PI in incredible condition is admired. Martin insists on properly restoring cars like this instead of quick fixes.
👍 Defending the unloved cars
Martin talks positively about cars with poor reputation that he enjoys like the Maestro and Montego turbos. He maintains them properly unlike most examples.
🚲 Martin's Ducati plus microcars
Martin also owns a Ducati 748 motorcycle he enjoys riding. Various microcars and bubble cars are shown including Messerschmitts.
🥰 Nostalgic car from Martin's childhood
A Morris that looks identical to his dad's first car is in the collection. He found the same number plate and restored it to match his childhood memories.
🚂 Coming soon: Steam car & jet engine!
Martin talks about upcoming projects - restoring a steam car and fitting a jet engine in an Austin A35. He won't reveal what cars he'll sell or buy next.

Highlights
The carcave features a diverse collection of enthusiast vehicles like a Jaguar E-Type, Ford RS600, Triumph TR4, and Aston Martin DB5.
Martin bought his first Porsche, a 962, after having too much wine at an event and deciding on impulse to purchase it.
The Rolls-Royce radiator grill on the 'Beast' car was controversial when built, but Martin got permission from Rolls-Royce to put an original grill back on.
Martin's favorite car in the collection is a rare 1965 Porsche 912 in original condition with only 3 gauges on the dash.
The McLaren MP4/3 formula 1 car from 1987 featured advanced carbon fiber construction and carbon brake discs.
Martin's passion for cars started as a child when he enviously watched his neighbor's petrol lawnmower while his family had a manual push mower.
The carcave started after Martin tapped a YouTuber on the shoulder at Goodwood and asked him to review the 'Beast' car that Martin had just purchased.
The Metro 6R4 Group B rally car was originally raced by Colin McRae and appeared in its original Duckhams livery.
Martin insists on actually driving and competing with many of the competition vehicles rather than just displaying them.
The rare Honda N600 reminds Martin of his childhood and gets more attention at events than exotic supercars.
The Austin-Healey 3000 represents the most pure coke bottle design before later models became too chunky.
The Lotus Cortina Mk2 retains the Mk1 Lotus engine but wasn't a full factory model yet still has a cult following.
The Peugeot 504 dates to Martin's first classic, a Triumph Herald in the same Mushroom green color.
Martin bought the rare Lotus Esprit Turbo on the advice of a Lotus executive who predicted it would increase in value.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint is incredibly original, with only 30k miles and no welding or restoration work.
Transcripts
I've come to a lovely house in the Su
Countryside and at the end of the garden
is this unassuming shed doesn't look
that big from here but it's actually got
quite a lot crammed into it and one car
in particular is a car that I've driven
in the past on one of the most popular
late break show episodes aka the Beast
so this is a carcave episode of the late
break show
and you're really going to want to come
and see this
goes on
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
forever
[Music]
Martin I reckon we should start this
chat with how I met you you tapped me on
the shoulder at Goodwood members meeting
I did indeed and you said uh you you you
did a video on the Beast I've just
bought it that's right I've seen you do
a video on your YouTube channel yeah and
completely smoke pouring out the exhaust
and bits falling off it and I thought do
you know I'm about to change what it
looks like yeah what better person to
ask come and look at it again than you
yeah that was fantastic and so after
that then I realized that you had had a
number of interesting cars over the
years which is why we're in the shed
today um two cars aren't here yep that
we have to talk about yep cuz you broke
the internet with this photo that we'll
put on screen now which was you driving
a blower pre-war Bentley with a trailer
and a Porsche 962 on the back yeah
that's true basically I've got my
friends uh run in France on Circ Del
lampar in in France and uh Jean Mark
lefon had asked me to bring the Bentley
down with Derek Bell and to bring the
962 down because they were doing some
sort of Porsche exhibition so I thought
I'm not paying for some Transport
company thousands of pounds to take both
cars down there I'll put a toeb bar on
the Bentley the Bentley I'd owned for 16
years at that stage and thought it's got
a fantastic talk curve let's put a toeb
bar on it to me it seemed perfectly
normal yeah um so I run my insurance
company and said will I be covered and
they said absolutely you will um so
that's exactly what I did how did your
car interest come
about um bought up in a family of
teachers um so money was uh pretty tight
in those days one of three one of three
kids uh my father drove a a hum cter um
yeah when I was a kid and I actually
passed my driving test in that same car
nice and I remember as a
kid Bentley blower going past us on the
A3 and my father saying to me that my
son fires every other lampost and from
that day on I wanted to buy a Bentley so
that's really how the the the passion
started um you know even to the point
when I used to look across the fence at
my neighbors who had a petrol lawn mower
and we had a you a push one and it used
to frustrate the hell out of me so it's
been in my blood from a very early age
and I guess later in life I was I was
lucky enough to have the resources to F
that passion I guess we should start
with this the 6r4 it's a real one it's a
real one yeah and how long have you had
it I bought this from Henry pman the
Jaguar expert um about I reckon 9 10
years ago okay met Henry pman he said
what car would you want to buy next and
I said well always fancied a 6r4 and he
said funny enough I've got one much of
my wife's disussed yeah so went down and
bought it um not realizing really what
it was didn't realize it had any history
whatsoever yeah uh goodward then said to
me look would you mind painting in the
gold Wonder colors uh and coming to the
fesal speed which I duy did and then the
history of the car sort of evolved since
then so this is been in competition all
its life like a lot of them or we've now
discovered that it was driven by Colin
McCrae it was uh rallied throughout its
entire life it was in duckhams colors
yeah it did the super pre at Birmingham
I think it did about uh 35 rallies it
half killed people in accidents this car
has absolutely amazing history but not
in these colors it was in the duckhams
colors amongst a few others I should say
for the record Martin drives cars hard
when true when you buy a competition car
you like to compete yeah if you're going
to drive a car um you know my my
speciality is not rally driving it's
it's tarmac driving yeah um but you know
on the circuit if I can and it's it's
it's it's good fun we we'll give it some
stick here I mean this will RI to 11,000
RPM really yeah it's a quick old car but
behind you I'm seeing Tiff Dell's name
yeah clearly I'm a glut for punishment I
like the underdog yeah I've always liked
the underdog the Metro was an underdog
it was and uh the Rover sd1 that's a
mark one uh was also the underdog that
is actually the first ever Works car so
it's a series one it was uh built for
the 1979 Tourist Trophy and was raced by
Jeff Alam and Tiff nadelle and the idea
of that car was to compete with the
Batmobiles the British all raved over it
and called it the great white whale from
memory um and there's a bit of Argy
bargy between Tiff nelf and Jeff Alam
and the Stillers this day about uh who
uh managed to get the engine to fail oh
really but the engine blew up I think it
got as high as let's say sixth or
seventh and then of course in true Len
style the engine blew up and that was
the end of it right but it's a great car
it's now back exactly as it was in
Period um I've raced it quite a lot um
yeah it's a good car so if is it has
this been restored or has this been yes
when I first got it of course it had the
full racing engine which was in perfect
condition I drove it once and it blew up
it transpired not to be the right engine
at all we've now got the right engine
back in it they're very restrict on it
being 3 and a half liters yeah and it is
3 and a half liters um but yeah it's a
great great car to drive spam calls
almost everyone experiences spam calls
at some point from time to time and do
you wonder how they keep getting hold of
your number well the answer is data
Brokers without even knowing our
personal information is being sold and
published online everyone has the right
to protect their privacy and request
that the data Brokers remove that
information that they hold about you and
that's where today's sponsor incog comes
in finding and requesting the removal of
this data would take the likes of you
and I years to do manually but incog
does all of that on your behalf they
reach out to the data Brokers and insist
on the removal of the data and if
there's any objections they deal with
that as well so you are completely hands
off spam calls aside the consequences of
somebody using your personal data can be
really serious loans could be applied
for in your name but without your
knowledge the behavior of scammers could
affect your insurance prices you could
even be dued by an AI call where the
scammer pretends to be your friend or a
family member all you need to do to get
started is create an account with him
using the link below type in late break
to get a massive 60% off and then you
can sit back and you can let them do all
the work for you and they will update
you every step of the way I like these I
like a 99 they're growing on me to be
fair yes so you didn't know about
Porsches no not at all no I mean
Porsches to me were something that were
pretty boring always started reliable as
hell and when you're driving sixr Falls
and Rovers you know this is kind of this
is this is going to start every time
isn't it it's too predictable exactly
but I bought this what was the what was
the The Catalyst for you going oh porsch
um well the first Porsche I ever bought
was the 962 funny enough and I bought
that at Silverstone years and years ago
I had far too many glasses of wine after
racing the Bentley all day and a chap
came up to me and said look what you
need to drive Martin is a
962 and I said well let's go to have a
look at it and he was a big tall chap as
well I sat in the car absolutely loved
it and said to him I'll tell you what
I'll buy it and then I told all my
friends for about a week after that I
bought a 912 cuz I had no clue what a
962 was I mean all the numbers are mumbo
jumbo to make I can't believe your first
ever por was a 962 well there you go and
it starts on the key it literally had
ignition key it started on the key uh
what a piece of Kit I raced that and
drove that quite a lot and it never let
me down wow so this GT2 came on the
market uh it was owned by two previous
lemon 24
drivers um it's in my opinion the 997 is
the last of the real Porsche 911s it's
the last of that shape before they just
got in my humble opinion too fat and
lardy yeah and also it's the last of the
met last of the Metar engines um so the
997 GT2 if you like for me was worth
buying yeah um I raced this one on a
circuit I drove this one on a circuit
within about half an hour of buying it
bloody hell um and it blew me away it
absolutely blew me away I turned off all
the controls the car was fantastic yeah
it's a serious car yeah it's a real
keeper this one I really like it it's
it's it's at home on the roads or it's
home on the circuit great car this is
like as good as you want to find a Time
Capture car I think I love I love the
the weathering it's just right doesn't
need
restoring how the hell do you find a
Range Rover like this real split score
on if we'll take the one thing at a time
but the real split score on this is do
we do we refurbish it no do we respray
it or do we keep it as it is I will I
will erase you off my phone if you to
repaint this in which case I'm
definitely repainting it um it is a very
very early Range Rover it's probably uh
within the first 6 months to 9 months of
production it's got the original rubber
mat inside because of course originally
these were designed to replace the
defender or what is now the defender
yeah uh the old the old Land series
three yeah yeah and they suddenly
realized wealthy people were buying them
and uh they very quickly put carpets in
them to and gentrified them yeah this is
one of the very first it's in fantastic
Condition it's done about 55,000 mi from
new is that it yeah it has all the
period pieces on it like the fuel caps
correct and the wing mirror if you want
to get anal yeah uh the right letters on
the front um it's a great piece of Kit
and I use it for work occasion
um it's brilliant at Towing it does
everything you want it to and it's a
smoother silk what's it like in all the
places you can't see cuz I know these do
like to rock no this one is incredibly
good uh if you get in your hands and
knees Johnny and have a look underneath
that it really is he's going to do it as
well I I need no
prompting bloody
hell that's good
exactly you might just see there's a
black object the elephant in the room
yeah the I mean like
a trailer with a with the
Spitfire rolling on it yeah so as I
explained earlier I I do a bit of flying
I enjoy flying um and I was very lucky
once upon a time to fly a splitfire I
can't even start to think about
affording a splitfire this Merlin engine
came on the market and I thought why not
you never know in the future someone
might say to me well I've got the
remnants of a Spitfire plane but I'm
missing the engine yeah so I thought I'd
buy it it runs beautifully it's uh
occasionally get it outside and run it
up uh
dries your hair very quickly great piece
of Kit bloody hell good leaf blower I
you get rid of the leaves quite quickly
you get rid of the bloody trees and the
houses I haven't seen all the cars in
detail yet but it's going to be hard to
beat for me anyway a citran SM I only
know one person that's own one of these
and they never quite got it done and I
so I never got to to ride in it uh but
to look at even if it was permanently
broken down it looked Sensational yeah
they do yeah yeah chap called um David
ly David Lil from o octane magazines or
ex octane magazines well this was his
car this was his car this was his car so
you've now been reunited with the only
other person you knew that had it wow I
have not you're right he hadn't finished
it um it was a passion of Davids he did
a few magazine articles on it from
memory yeah uh when I saw it he'd had
enough quite frankly he said Martin I've
had enough of it yeah uh for me it was a
new a new project so it was I was fresh
into it and I took it to one of the
Citroen
experts uh up at north of London and uh
we put it together and there it is it's
a it's a fantastic Car Trust you'd
notice in the core of my garage on the
spit roast is a is a f Panda yeah yeah I
know I so what what's the score you're
obviously fully restoring it so that's
commitment as a hobby I enjoy
skiing um and this normally lives down
in the French Alps uh it's on Italian
plates it's left-and Drive yeah it's a f
sizzly which was a fairly limited
edition so anybody that knows these
things will recognize the color as being
sizzly sizzly color it is a great color
uh it's a 4x4 we bought it back to the
UK cuz I wanted it dipped I wanted to
make sure it was uh in as good a
condition as I could get it into yeah um
it is in remarkable condition the shell
so yeah we're about to refit it and it's
going back into the French Alps oh she
going to take it back straight back it
is my wife I'm going to drive it back
through Europe uh back into back into
France that's Mega we've talked about
the SM yep but we need to talk about
what's either side of the SM two
fascinating cars in their own right
let's talk about the red one first okay
uh this is a 1965 car so first real year
of production um it's called a three di
car so it's only got three di on the
dashboard yeah and there are all sorts
of little finite details you wanted to
get really anal about it about you the
amount of screws holding on the vents
etc etc but it's a very genuine stock
912 from 1965 you know on the original
order it had Wing mirror extra chromed
Wheels extra um it's got all the bits it
had from you yeah um and being the 912
it's a four-cylinder engine yeah but it
actually runs really well a nicely tuned
912 is arguably a much better handling
car than the 911 because the engine is
much smaller yeah and produces in
original guys like this actually almost
as much power as the original 911 yeah
well you forget how small the original
91 exactly it so the power differential
is not that huge uh really nice car and
you know you're now looking at the very
first 911 shape and as we talked about
the 997 GT2 as being probably the last
of the 911 shape and if you look at the
two next to each other they're not that
dissimilar no and I think after the 997
pory just got too big and kind of lost
that Purity yeah you have two guys who
do all your cars that who look after
them for you is that right yeah I've got
a couple guys I mean one looks after the
engines one looks after the body uh body
work um so yeah they they dabble with
the cars which is good good news yeah so
one of the most popular videos I've done
on the late break show is when I got the
opportunity to drive this car the Beast
it wasn't in this color and it didn't
entirely look like this it looked like
that in fact in that strange sort of
prosthetic limb without that radiator
Grill of course without that radiator
Grill so it had the John DOD correct the
chap that owned it the late owner and
Builder um so you're the guy that ended
up buying this car at auction yeah I was
a stupid idiot that thought it would be
a great
idea I actually think I actually think
it was good value cuz it's such a
one-off weird folklore car do you know
it's it's it's one of those Mite cars
people either love it or hate it the
people that hate it probably don't get
it yeah I wouldn't say it's beautiful
you know it is bordering on ugly yes um
I think the change of color from the
prosthetic limb color um to what we've
done now and the modifications we've
done to the front yeah have helped uh I
spoke to John dod's son Paul dods
throughout the entire process and he
sanctioned and said no my dad would
really like that um so we have changed
it we've changed it into what you see
today we've in uh refurbished the
interior which we'll see later um for a
completely new interior based on the
existing
structure we stopped it burning so much
oil good cuz I noticed in your last
video um it showed it burning a lot of
oil so we've had part of the engine
apart y we did find part of an oil ring
in the sump did you which probably
wasn't helping things no it's still got
that broken Oil ring in it right but
with these particular engines they had
two oil rings and three piston rings I
think it is someone out there will tell
me that's wrong but you know as the
amateur that's what it's got yeah and of
course we put the rolls Ross Grill back
on it I was going to say so it now has I
mean the very controversial Grill
because obviously the main backstory of
this car was to do with Rolls taking
John DOD to court yes I think in those
days Johnny you know John dods loved
poking Rolls-Royce in the eye yeah he
kept phoning them up and pretending he
was either a count or a baron or a a
shadow owner from France and that he
wanted their latest model which he'd
seen on the roads his own car yeah and I
think at the end of the day they kind of
got a bit if I say it pissed off with
him uh because um he was he was goding
them of course you know this is not
their upto dat radiator Grill which it
was in period yeah uh I've also taken
the precaution I was at Goodwood
recently and I was lucky enough to be
having a dinner in one of the dining
rooms there uh at one of the functions
and sat next to me was one of the U CEOs
of Rolls-Royce really so me being me I
happened to mention to him that I'd
bought the
Beast and uh I was going to put the
Rolls-Royce Grill back on it again I
explained the history because he didn't
know the history at all because of
course it's now owned by the Germans
yeah uh which is kind of slightly ironic
I guess yeah and I kind of said to him
look we've put this Rolls-Royce Grill
back on the front of uh the Beast it's
registered and always has been
registered as a Rolls-Royce it's running
the Merlin engine which the UK
population are incredibly proud of and
is fairly sensitive material so
therefore surely it's fitting to put the
original Grill back on the car and in a
slightly Germanic accent he said to me
he didn't think there would be a problem
now of course yeah that's very much off
the Record yeah um but I certainly have
no intention of uh goting them over
there's no reason to its clear historic
car now yeah and that is an historic
Grill yeah um so hopefully um it can
stay with a grill it was designed to
have in the first place let say is
registered and always has been as a
Rolls-Royce so are you you going to use
this thing yes my first journey uh post
refurbishment was down the p
right a bit of a stir we had all sorts
of people stopping and winding down
their windows and saying is that what we
think it is um but drives pretty well
yeah not bad at
all it's I'm I'm so glad that it's gone
to someone that fully understands it I
would't say fully understands it but I
one of the things I have discovered
again a lot of the internet you know who
always know better than anybody else
yeah said it has got a meteor engine in
it yeah I can categorically state it has
a Merlin engine in it yeah um it has a
Merlin engine it without the
supercharger on it because of the uh
depth of it what it has got is meteor
Pistons because the supercharged uh
Merlin engine had local compression
Pistons of course because it was
supercharged yeah uh without the
supercharger it just wouldn't produce
enough power so it has the meteor
Pistons which are a higher compression
ratio in a Merlin exactly so the the
block is 100% Merlin the running gear is
100% um the the engine is 100% Merl
apart from the conrods and the Pistons
which are out of a meteor so they're
kind of right yeah well and if you need
any spars I know a guy who's got one on
a trolley we talking about earlier
yeah presumably this is like a childhood
dream thing no Johnny it's not um to be
fair same with Porsches never really got
Aston Martins um I've I've been a bit of
a Jaguar fan in the past uh I until very
recently had a series 1 4.2 yeah e type
um worth a fraction of the cost of these
yeah and some would argue consider be
more technology advanced than an ay
Martin uh because of my hotel I bought
in France which we discussed earlier
that was famously involved with Martin
the hotel of France in the chra so a lot
of people were pushing me and saying you
really need to buy an ason um I decided
to buy the DB5 I was lucky I guess in
the respect of being able to do
so um and as we all know we're all
slightly worried about I think the price
of classic cars is going down yeah the
reason I bought the DB5 is the latest
Bon movie has the DB5 in it and I think
subsequent uh James Bond films will
probably continue that theme because the
DB5 is kind of
it's the linked forever with James Bond
it's everen I think it's Evergreen I
think it's one of the few classic cars
that is I have to say now having been
privileged enough to own it uh it's a
great car really enjoy it uh as well as
the Porsche 912 the DB5 is also my
wife's favorite so uh is it yeah she
loves this car yeah so you use it I use
it a lot um I use it in the winter I use
it in the snow I use it in the ice and
salt and G well it's a car isn't it um
it's not this one's not a trailer Queen
yeah um which is why I like using it um
it does what it says on the tin as long
as you wash it off underneath afterwards
I guess if I refurbished it and rebuilt
it with an inch of its life no I
wouldn't yeah but that's part of its
beauty it's a it's a you know it's a
proper car and the color is slightly
strange yeah but I found out recently
the original car that was delivered to
the James Bond set was in fact red and
the film crew said that doesn't work
we'll change it they changed it to
Silver really so the original one not
necessarily this red but the original
car apparently was red
and this car it then transpired also had
Bond history in the sense that the
original owner of this car was a second
world war fighter pilot right and he was
the designer and it transpires
manufacturer of the James Bond costumes
from the period when these cars were
used uh originally like The Man with the
Golden Gun and so on and so forth really
the original James Bond films that had
the DB5 he did the costumes and
manufactured them so a nice piece of
History interesting yeah not Rel the
slightest of this very
different I know it's a historic Formula
1 car it is and I and I think it's
80s it is it's 1987 it's an
arrow um it's one of the first cars to
be completely carbon fiber so the tuab
on this is carbon fiber is it yeah it's
an era when uh the drivers were just
beginning to become quite important and
they decided they really didn't want to
kill the drivers off right yeah so
safety started to become one of the sort
of four thoughts yeah the brakes on this
interesting they're also carbon fiber
the discs are made of carbon fiber in '
87 87 so everyone thinks it's a really
modern thing you know here we have a
1987 Formula 1 car with carbon discs wow
what the hell are you doing with this
car well again Henry pman funny enough
we were talking about earlier uh the guy
that introduced me to the sixr 4 we
first spoke about yeah um he run me up
one day and said Mar have you ever
thought of trying a formula one so me
like the lamb to the Slaughter said I'll
be up in half an hour uh went and saw it
it was running um but it appealed to me
cuz it's one of the very um
controversial turbo cars so it hasn't
got the large intake because it doesn't
need any Ram effect because it has a
dirty great turbo on it it's a 1.5 L BMW
engine with a huge turbocharger it
doesn't uh rev that highly yeah You'
think of this being a revving to 12 13
14 it doesn't it's sort of comfortable
around about 9,000 RPM yeah we're
running running about 800 brake
horsepower which again out of a 1.5 is
not bad
going but it's frighteningly quick
because it's the way it delivers that
power right so you really have to drive
this very differently to most Formula 1
cars in the sense that most Formula One
cars when you see the Apex you'll start
giving it the full beans yeah with this
if you do that in anything other than
perfect conditions it will try and kill
you right because the turbo comes with
such a bang yeah that uh it's quite
frightening what a thing right penthouse
yeah I know what Penthouse is I'm aware
of its presence yeah uh older than that
one yeah this one's 1977 so 10 years
between them um when you drive this one
you really do feel like you're driving
Mao kit really there's really no driver
safety allowances in this car whatsoever
you stick your legs over the front of
the steering rack so your legs in front
of the steering rack yeah whereas in the
the arrows um rules and regulations it
had to be behind the steering rack yeah
that is the fuel tank this box here
behind your back literally my back rest
is the fuel tank the paneling is how can
I put it you know it is it is made of
tin foil but it's a great car it's a DF
engine V8 um it's it's the Ford CA if
you like of the racing world yeah every
car in Period had had the V8 in it yeah
uh it's very predictable to drive it's
got a beautiful power delivery it's got
a nice torque curve you know exactly
when the power's coming in unlike the
turbo so this one you can drive onto the
Apex and and accelerate away um with
with impunity and the knowledge that the
power will come in exactly as you want
it to come into yeah um but yeah really
good car really nice comfortable car to
drive nice W wide body uh whereas the
arrows very narrow yeah um yeah great
piece of Kit fantastic and and sitting
in front of a 70s car the golf GT the
inable Golf GTI yeah the a very early
one yep yep one of the first years of
production single headlights single
headlamps slim little rear clusters yeah
Tartan interior yeah and anti-glare
dials on the dashboard so really first
year year and a half yeah uh looked for
this for about 12 years really about 12
Years cuz it had to be one of the very
very first ones 1,600 this one's got a
five-speed box uh I think the fourspeed
box is probably only the first six
months yeah it's a five speeder um but
yeah absolutely the first incarnation of
the Golf GTI so it's it's the it's the
daddy isn't it of the hot hatch it is
yeah yeah no it looks really nice so
you've restored this car yes it was a
one-owner car um it was in pretty good
condition to be fair I bought it an
auction but it had things like a vinyl
roof stuck to the roof what um which was
pretty bad to be fair uh it did have
some rust on it y but overall the shell
was very very good it's done minimal
mileage but we did completely refurbish
it yeah to get it back to standard but
the seats are as you see them uh perfect
the dashboard they not restored they're
not restored they've just been hoovered
they are really
bright we must talk about the mro yeah
well the mro um acquir taste uh again
another Marite car you rather love them
or hate them yeah I must be one of the
few until I met you that actually likes
them I know love um as we talked about
I've also got a Montego turbo up the
back there which we no that come on to
but um yeah my St turbo very rare car
they made very few in the first place uh
strangely enough the more Maestro turbos
even though he made very few than there
are Montego turbos which they built
thousands of yeah because the Montego is
basically scrap fodder yeah and some
people would say good rins them quite
frankly but you know they are part of
our motoring history I like them uh damn
Quick Car actually uh this one is still
being rebuilt hence the headlamps been
sort of wonky thrown back in for the
filming but it's yeah it's going to go
back into one piece and I'll use it but
great fun to drive it is refreshing
coming from someone that's driven stuff
like that that you obviously like you
know the sort of exotic stuff like the
DB5 but to like give that credibility it
people are so quick to judge and I think
the people that judge have potentially
never own these cars yeah so they don't
actually know what they're like and you
see the people that really Rave about
them are the people that had them it's
very cool it's very very cool and it
looks especially random next to that I
don't I don't see what you're saying
looks looks normal to me you roof
chopped it as well no no I had to the
roof down to get it into the garage to
be fair it won't come in with a funnel
on it or or the roof up um but yeah
that's another story but that's that's a
great piece of kid as well so we just
popped outside just to look at one car
it just happens to be snowing um this
S-Class or predecessor of the S-Class
Martin is this your everyday car it is
yeah Johnny this is a one-owner from new
car um I found this one in or I like it
because it's the color it's really
unusual for Mercedes to be in this color
yeah uh I like the condition of it it's
built like a brick D they're amazing
yeah I drive every day it always starts
this unusually for me is an automatic
okay but it's but an automatic really
suits this car it does uh the manuals
weren't particularly good even in Period
no uh but I drive it most days you can
see it's out in the snow um yeah really
good car as long as you keep it jet
washed underneath uh it's a very
comfortable car it'll cruise at the
maximum speed legal speed liit plus a
bit Yeah Yeah really good car looks
great out here in the yeah I like the
look of them this is mint Martin I mean
mint is it is if you do so you do it
properly this this was a car that was um
originally a 2.5 Pi which it is now yeah
someone have taken the injection system
off it and put it onto carburetors and
change the wheels to s wheels yeah uh I
wanted to change it back in the process
of doing that I had to bloody refurbish
the whole car and if you're going to do
something do it properly yeah it's it's
not worth anything like I spent on it
but do you know it's a great car to
drive I I'm really pleas pleased to see
it's not a car that gets a great deal of
good press no when you get one as good
as this and I think you got a shot of
the engine um when you get one as good
as this they actually drive really
really well the problem is they became
old bangers people couldn't afford to
keep them going properly they didn't
understand the fuel injection system
yeah and they were bloody horrible to
drive this one's really nice yeah and
and in terms of the body and the paint
I've had a look underneath and inside
the inner wings and all sorts of it's
just for me it's beautiful anyway next
to it another 70s car but an
Aston what is a vantage DBS Vantage yeah
but not a not a V8 no uh Aston Martin
hadn't quite got the V8 ready when they
bought this car out yeah and they put
the straight six in it in my opinion
it's the most pure shape it's a real
coke bottle love the shape with the
spoked wheels and the cheese cutter
Grill and the forehead lamp layout yeah
in my opinion G it's also objective when
they put the V8 in they kind of ruined
it by making it fat and lardy I think
it's a great looking car I love the body
shape uh the other car the other hot
hatch that we were talking about earlier
yes the 205 GTI
1.9 yeah that's a one-owner car Johnny
is it yeah it's a one-owner car it was
found in a underground car park in
Monaco so it's a British car it was
registered in the UK but then taken to
Monaco and left in an underground car
park so it didn't get sun damage and it
didn't get temperature variance
bloody hell so it's completely original
paint interior the lot that's amazing
unfortunately we're in so tight in this
corner cuz Martin can't stop buying cars
we couldn't get them out very easy we'll
try our best uh the dollar might Sprint
I've seen you racing this I'm sure the
members meeting yes um the inequitable
doite Sprint uh that's the Belgium Works
car um I'm not actually a fan of them
because uh we restricted on power we've
got about uh 170 brake horsepower I
think
oh and it keeps competing with things
like the you know full-blown Capri and
escorts and American Muscle Cars yeah so
it's an acquir taste yes so that mini is
buried in there it's almost touching the
cars either side it is that's a Mini
Cooper S uh that was originally owned by
the padwick family so I think Nick
padwick um it's his first racing Mini so
he he has a bit of a soft spot for that
actual car um great fun very tight
racing with minis because you've
probably got six or seven horsepower
between the absolute best engines and
the normal Racing Engines yeah um so
people like Nick Swift for example is
always at the front because a he's a
damn good driver and B his car is
producing as much power as you can
physically ring out of those things uh
given the regulations because uh with
Goodwood for example you have to take
the engines apart yeah before the race
so they can actually measure the balls
and stroke they're very very strict do
they really they're very strict on it
which is a good thing because to say
you've got six seven brake horsepower
difference between them yeah great car
yeah so you buy cars that you are
interested in more so than ones that
you're trying to kind of like H your bet
on what exactly it's not it's not it's
not a theme to anything yeah yeah so uh
again that's boxed in heavily Lotus
Cortina Mark two Mark two Lotus CA Mark
2 was the car when I was in my my youth
yeah um so I've always preferred the uh
Mark 2 to the Mark 1 again everyone will
argue against that but that's a personal
choice uh the mark 2 Cortino wasn't
really a genuine lotus in the way the
Mark 1 was yeah um but it's a pretty car
same running gear uh you know it is a
Lotus engine uh that one's also
completely Immaculate is it yeah
completely Immaculate underneath you
it's it's brand new um I've only driven
that about twice I think so uh really
it's one of those cars I wouldn't take
on salty roads funny enough because it's
a Ford and it's an early Ford either the
paint will fall off it or the door will
fall off it yeah yeah I did a car Cave
of a guy who only had Lotus cortinez
once okay that's that was his back
they're okay they're okay yeah this this
is a different ball game yeah so this is
a Ford
rs600 um Ford back in the early days had
to hogate certain amount of cars yeah
they decided through their Rally Sport
division RS um to produce the escort RS
which runs a BDA engined um twin cam
engine not to be confused with lotus and
they sold so fast and so successfully
Ford suddenly realized the badging RS
actually was a bit of a sales coup yeah
so hence the reason for the RS 2000
which ran a Pinter engine so not an
ulation car yeah and not really a racing
car whereas this um revs to 77 75,000
RPM looks like a shopping car yeah it
sounds incredible uh when it's at full
chat uh really really nice little car
this had it a long time yeah I've had it
about eight years I guess but um
sometimes you get people over and we
take this one out on the roads and this
is always their favorite is it because
it looks boring it looks like a little
Ford Escort but my God does it go yeah
and it's the noise it makes yeah really
nice car that one there's something very
special about them um now this is one of
my favorite cars you've got
here Honda yeah I love these N600 yep
you and me both um I remember this was
one of these when I was a kid yeah it
amused the hell out of me because it did
everything so well yeah so we in England
were saying with the things like the
mini and the the L and stuff generally
that we were the best in the world and
we didn't see the Japanese coming quite
frankly no so this car is about a 1971
it's one of the first cars models
imported into the UK and into America
but you've got things like an astay and
a cigarette lighter and a radio and
green dashboard lights as standard which
was all things that Len was charging
extras for it's got a little twin
cylinder 600 cc engine they rot like mad
yeah it's a British car this yeah it's
in British colors it's in British L
colors um we use it on the back of my
competition so I I've got a motor home
that I take to Motor Racing meetings and
I put this on the back and I get more
comments about this car than anything
else in this garage really in fact at
the uh good meeting last year all the
governor's cars were parked in the
governor's car park and I'm lucky enough
to be a governor and I parked this one
amongst them so you had the Ferraris and
Lamborghinis and Rain Rovers and Christ
knows what else queued there and this
parked in the middle of them and this
got more comments and photographs I
think that anything else are good with
that that's Mega great car really nice
little car if this was going to bookend
your your car cave it would be I guess
this little Honda
N600 next
to this is a Porsche 997 uh again we
talked about the GT2 earlier uh this is
a a first gen 997 so again it's the mear
engine yeah uh in Period every wanted
the Gen 2 I insisted on getting the Gen
one because it's the last of those
engines uh this is a turbo it's got
ceramic brakes and more importantly for
me it's got a manual gearbox so uh this
is a keeper a spre a spre turbo a spre
turbo I guess everyone mentions things
like pretty woman and I think Basic
Instinct the Sharon Stone film I think
she drove one of them in that yeah the
other word to use for them is fragile
are they yeah the the um greatl looking
car part from the side repeater
indicators which I think they got from
the parts bin somewhere yes but great
looking car the reason I bought this one
is I was sitting next to one of the new
Lotus CEOs yeah at a dinner and we
started chatting we started talking
about cars and he said you know look
we're involved with lotus now Lotus is
going to get a much bigger company it's
going to be huge what I suggest you do
is you buy a spree
turbo because I think it's a car that
will really go in the future because
it's one of our sort of classic yeah uh
old style cars um so I did just that so
this car's done almost no miles uh it's
in really nice
condition um driven it once or twice
goes really well you know the engines in
these aren't that huge to be fair this
is prior to the V8 yeah um but it's a
turbocharged car uh yeah great piece of
Kit gel coat's really good on it
interior is nice uh I really need to get
it out she bought it because the the the
new what CEO of lotus said you should
buy one of these yeah why
not that's amazing and to be fair you
know they weren't big money they're
still not big money I think they're
great cars you know looking standing
here now I really need to get it out
more often because it's it's a great
piece of Kit so late 80s and
also very early '90s or late ' 80s cuz
this is this is a very late car yeah
it's one of the last uh Audi quatros it
needs a damn good clean looking at it
but that's not unusual with my cars um I
use this one it's a late 20 valve car
which is the one to have it has the
electronic
dashboard uh it's in as good a condition
as it looks as if it's in it's not done
Mega miles so Audi have normally got
Mega miles on them they do yeah this one
I think it's got 65 or 75,000 miles on
the clock which is not a lot for an Audi
no uh most of them have been through the
100,000 out the other side yeah really
nice car to drive drive it to France
occasionally um it's a modern
comfortable it's an Audi you yeah it's
so usable I do I love them I love them
but like you say that the 20 valves are
worth so much more than the ear they are
which I think is a little unfair but um
you it's a nice car even down to the uh
typical aerial the mobile phone
telephone aerial of its period yeah on
the roof at the raish angle yeah yeah no
that's I miss my Coupe GT one day I will
have a quro Aston number
three yeah for someone that doesn't like
Aston um
this was actually a um covid lockdown
purchase it was one of them I was
getting bored yeah and uh I quite like
the DB9 I think the DB9 is probably one
of the prettiest of the modern shapes
yeah it is popular and uh spoke to
Desmond smile who's a friend of mine and
uh he said he had a rare manual uh with
very very few miles on it so I thought I
going have a look at it it's convertible
it's one of the few convertibles I've
got yeah um so I decided with a manual
gearbox that yeah I'd go for it so I'm
going to keep it I use it quite
regularly it's done no miles uh really
nice car I think they're a little bit
undervalued to be fair so exotic Cabrio
to well it's a Prett I think these are
really handsome cars it's not exotic but
handsome I think is probably a little
bit Rich for them um you got the so the
vitess has we talked earlier about my
first card which was a Triumph Herald
convertible it was in exactly this color
funny enough it with 10 vinyl interior
yeah so this one uh came on the market I
couldn't believe it because there's a
one owner from new car blood they don't
they don't exist uh it's done 75,000
miles from New with a full service
history throughout its life Wow and
because it was in my original car's
color okay it's a vest not a Herald but
uh and it just happened to be two miles
down the road from here I won have a
look at it and uh the guy that had it
from brand new was on his crutches and
he came came out and he said I never
thought I'd sell that for
Tess um it is so smooth these engines
are straight six they've got really weak
bottom ends yeah they're inclined to
Rattle when you start them up this is so
smooth it's ridiculous he had it
serviced every couple hundred miles what
by the same dealer the same local garage
the chassis is perfect on it uh it's
never seen the rain it's got tiny bits
of rust on it but for one of these it is
just it is a true survivor it is lovely
and the fact that it only had one owner
from you just had to happen you know
including the sort of period Wing
mirrors which are abely beautiful I was
looking at exact beautiful brilliant not
quite a convertible but sort of a
convertible the two one of your first
Classics yep that's a uh
1950 or 51 2cv it's one of the very
first built it's so tight in here Martin
sorry yeah um all the original cars were
sprayed that color so for the first two
years and there's lots of arguments
about this all the 2cv fici AOS and
unless they really know what they're
talking about so they didn't make
metallic cars yes they did the first two
years were all metallic silver you had
no choice right and you can tell it's a
early one because of that world seam
there yeah and because of the oval
around the Chevrons on the front there
yeah and of course not many people know
that the Chevron design was in fact
because Citron had a gear sets that were
shaped like that which were
revolutionary in Period and that became
part of their Insignia was in fact the
shape of the gears which is that twin
inverted v such a cool thing yeah I like
it and totally different to the alpha s
and we must give the alpha sud the light
of day that it deserves because a I've
not seen a black one in ages really rare
color color yeah yeah and when you said
to me oh yeah by the way this has never
been welded no it hasn't and it's a UK
car so you're now going to get all the
internet people saying it's an alpha of
course it's been welded this car has no
welding done it at all it's done very
low Mage it's an original series 1 1.5
ti so it's got the little rear lights
yeah original cloth interior which
anyone that knows Alphas they are made
of tissue paper uh there are no splits
in it a real find this car where the
bloody hell did you find it it found me
um somebody rung me up and said we
understand you like original uh cars how
do you fancy an alpha s and I said well
I've been looking for one for years and
years but most of them are grop boxes
yeah um went and looked at this one and
I was just dumbfounded by the condition
of it I bet um because underneath the
originally uh they were built in
southern Italy as we know alpha s and
they filled the chassis sections with
filler foam from the factory which B
basically meant the first puddle you
went through just absorbed you condemned
your car to the scrap peep yeah um some
people would you three years old Alpha
SS failing their OTS through rust yeah
but this one yeah it's done I think
about 30,000 Mi it was clearly owned by
an Enthusiast from the day one yeah
because it's been so well looked after
it's a really lovely clean car with as
you know a flat four boxer engine yeah
and I do think we were saying earlier
it's sort of shaped like an Austin
Allegro it is especially the back yeah
which I think is a cool thing well
there's not many cars that have a horn
that's shaped like a serpent of sea
creature I don't know what it is it's
got teeth but I don't more importantly
it's an original one rather than a copy
is it y so this is your first classic
car this is my first classic car this
was actually a bad dead was it it was a
friend of mine got me to work on his
house yeah uh Building a garage I seem
to remember and then afterwards he said
look I can't afford to pay you he said
but I know you're a car mad person I've
got this old toon Boton engine car my
kids were with me they fell in love with
it because they were really young they
call it Daisy because of its yellow
wheels and green
Bodywork and I've had it ever since it
didn't run um it has bizarre things
called trembler coils which I got going
anyone that knows anything about those
they're really sensitive that's the bit
that makes it spark yeah uh and it's a
great chugar around it talks to you as
you as you drive along it Chatters away
and it's totally different to the mg
monteo turbo so you've got the white
Maestro you see Johnny you are the only
person I've ever met in this garage that
actually likes Montego turbos love them
yeah people come in this garage and go
what the hell are you doing with that I
was bought up with monteo I really like
the styling yeah all right I'm slightly
mad yeah and it's the inequitable turbo
and it um it drives fantastically does
it really it's got a bit of torque
torque steer because the power is too
much for it but it drives beautifully
it's quiet it's bloody fast for its
period yeah and again I think people
just either didn't own one or drove one
when they became shabby old cars that
weren't being maintained properly this
is a really nice car it's an early one
so it's the uh it's the white painted
wheel one rather than the Alloys um oh
yeah the white painted Wheels I spent
incomprehensible sums of money on this
car but um really yeah of course I have
but it's um it's a turbo I love it that
you've got it it's a great car it's
brilliant next to I mean still one of
the coolest shaped cars that's ever been
DS 23 P injection so it's an injected
car um it's one of the last of that era
yeah um of course the weak spot on the
DS is the engine yeah because they were
supposed to have and I think I'm right
saying a flat six air C engine hence the
shape of the Bonnet yeah citrum were
running out of money they had to try it
together in a hurry so they put the
light 15 engine which is right back back
up towards the cockpit to get the the
height in um so it's a bit of an
agriculture engine to be fair in a very
very sophisticated car I had this one
rebuilt uh not in the UK yeah uh it was
a bit of a basket case when I got it uh
I was recommended somewhere um over
towards Russia yeah uh it was taken over
there very risky for me because you're
sending your money abroad but they made
a brilliant job of it and the quality of
workmanship was second to n wow and it
cost me a fraction of what it would cost
to get down over here definitely itely a
bucket list car for me it's right at the
back of your garage Lotus carton yes why
and how long have you had it and I've
still never driven one I'd like to drive
one uh they are ferocious yeah they are
they are quick car um you're basically
driving a voxal cartton because they've
got a voxal engine them they were board
out for uh the Lotus model yeah um but
the interior is sort of very rou leather
of its period yeah I like it because
it's the unsung hero we've talked about
that several times today yeah it looks
like a standard car it's a wol and
sheep's clothing those tires in Period
were considered to be enormous yeah they
were by today's standards they quite
small yeah people will be saying it
hasn't got the crests in the middle of
the wheels well they shouldn't have the
crests in the middle of the wheels so
this is badged
correctly wow so everyone says they
should have Lotus yeah written in the
middle they they never did I think
they're still one of the best looking
well as we know Johnny in Period the
police tried to get them banned because
they were faster than a Porsche 911
Turbo yeah I know I think there's a
press photograph of somebody reading a
newspaper in the back of one of these
going past a Porsche flat out W
incredible piece of car yeah incredible
car and extremely different to you got
PA of bubble cars you got the uh the
mess Schmid and you got the the I Setter
over there yeah well of course after the
war mes Schmid were barred from making
airplanes yeah so it's like seems slight
ironic by the way with a picture of the
962 in the background yeah the uh the
mesm were were banned from making
airplanes they made cars uh this one I
think it's
175 uh Foos two-stroke in the back of it
um great fun I went shopping with my
wife in this she was cutely embarrassed
voice but I insisted we did it never
seen one part next to a Lotus Caron in
my life there's probably a reason for
that yeah so you do ride bikes I do you
do um so that daat is a 996 SPS um I had
that from brand new have you yeah it's
done about 8,000 mil my friend sh burn
would like to see I ride it occasionally
unfortunately I just cannot ride it
without wanting to pop the front wheel
off the ground right and uh you know
getting older than I was so I I ride it
infrequently but when I do it's it's
great fun yeah
yeah just talked about the other one so
the I Setter was obviously the Rival to
the H Co not the H Co the mess Schmid so
they were built in Brighton yes under
license
yes that's right they were mostly
left-hand Drive even though it's a UK
registered car you could buy a
right-hand drive but as we were talking
about earlier the uh left-hand drives
were faster than the right-and drive
cars because the engine is on the right
hand side yeah with the steering whe on
the right hand side they had to put a
counterbalance on the left hand side
right to keep them sort of square
whereas she's just a lump of a lump of
lead or metal or concrete or whatever it
was whereas of course with the leftand
drive they were sort of equally balanced
so the the the trivial question the
trivial question is the left-and drive
BMW Setter is faster in left-hand drive
form that's the reason why brilliant
what's that what my dad's old car was it
yes the actual your D it's not but it's
the same number plate on it which I
managed to find really yeah yeah and I
managed to find the car another car and
I completely changed the interior and
the the color to match his car and then
put the number plate on it so it's
exactly it's exactly the same as my
father's first car so many of these car
caves you you see the power of the
Nostalgia that just all all consumed you
I mean the answer is Johnny the Wy 1550

slow but it's a passion for me CU I

yeah um so it's you know it's I've got a
passion for it yeah so what are you
going to sell next and what are you
going to buy next not going to tell you

questions the bind as I said you were
