This channel is such a joy for the petrolhead. In a world filled with vacuumcleaners for cars, this is pure joy. Keep the roadtrip video's coming, Harry!
I know what you mean by "vacuum cleaners" and it's tragic. One of my long-term clients (1997 to 2015) was a couple of hundred metres from the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix track - just across the road. It got noisy in March. Sitting at the back of the building, we could hear the howling F1 engines in practice sessions. If you went out to the street, the howling engines could compress your ribs and make your body shake. Magnificent. Then, one year, I stood outside the building and heard a muted, burbling noise like a failed fart. This was the new F1. Kitten and puppy videos are more exciting.
That’s because he is a real car guy, not just focused on speed or how it looks! It’s statement and about what can and has been achieved, a unique (almost) piece of engineering and craftsmanship, yes it will split opinions, good design should, the owner likes it, so who cares.
As a proud Italian myself I have yet so much to discover on the history of car making in Italy. I have heard the name many times In the past but never knew how much history Touring Superleggera has. This video was so good to watch and I think I have found a new car marker to love and appreciate along with Ferrari Alfa Lancia Maserati Fiat and Lamborghini! Today there aren't many things we Italians can be proud of but in terms of car making, I am proud to say MADE IN ITALY! 💚🤍💘🏎
Harry - great video - love the sound - I thought I was looking a Jaguar F Type special creation of a D Type.... So lucky to have a chance to jump into this after a few hours rolling the Barley fields....enjoy your Sunday evening👍
Always entertaining Harry, and educational. I learned a lot today! This is one extraordinary car, piece of art. That V12 sounds almost too good to be true. Amazing attention to detail, splendid design. Love how they preserved the nostalgia, I agree with your view on the badge. Super review 👍🏻
For me, best car video I think I’ve seen! The absolute and pure excitement, and appreciation for cars that shines through here from him, allows you have the best insight into how you think you’d feel driving something like that! Just Brilliant.
What a car, have no clue how you managed to get your hands on this, other than being royalty in car jurno land, glad you did though...! That engine just boggles the mind, the effort and detail that has gone into the coach work is simply breathtaking. Wish I was a rich bloke, the fun you could have commissioning something like this.... Thanks Harry, coming off that high must have been hard work!!
Captain Scarlet’s car! Of course! That’s what it reminds me of! All the way through I was racking my brains thinking where I’d seen that fin back before I had the Corgi toy as a kid
You hit the nail on the head it was bugging me as to what this reminded me of! Thanks you've put me out of my misery. Great guy letting Harry drive it and let us all eavesdrop! Definitely a classic of the future.
Harry your videos are addictive...the car you are reviewing is literally mind boggling...and the way the 1930's design has been paid tribute too is pretty amazing...
Wonderful video. My only (slight) criticism is the captions for the archival photos were slightly blocked by the Harry's Garage watermark. Apart from that, what a video and what a car. Your excitement to have it for the night is infectious!
I agree it detracts from the otherwise simplicity of the design. As does the clashing colour orange used on the numerals and details. A simple white roundel with black numerals would have been so much more evocative of a classic racing car.
Glorious, Harry! A truly unique car, that one can only admire...Opening up the throats as you come out of Burford! Drove your favourite road last weekend, on the way to the Malvern Hills!
Hi Harry, how can anybody give you a thumbs down on this video I just do not know. I thought it was great.you must be a very much respected and trusted ex car journalist to be lent that car. One minute 220hp case tractor next a 6or7 million pound Ferrari .what a guy.
Some controversial bits on the styling. I guess some minor changes would reduce the " Hot- wheels"- look a bit, and all 15 examples will look slightly different. Thanks for showing :)
I agree, as fast and unique as it is, there are some suspect design touches. the wheels are a bit 'drug dealer', the doors look like theyve been kicked in. The back end belongs on a 50s le mans car. Too much design for designs sake to try and justify the price?
I really liked the link to iconic Touring cars from the past. Car like this need to make you go wow when you open the garage and this one certainly did that! There's only going to be 15 examples anyway, so it hardly matters anyway. Agree on your comment regarding recent Aston Zagatos too..
@@harrysgarage Yes, respect to the owners' idea of a bespoke homage to the lovely and very fast Raymond Sommer/Clemente Biondetti car No 19 of the 1938 Le Mans - an Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B, that retired not long before the finish of the 1938 Le Mans 24 Hours. As you say Harry at 16:23, "Bloody brilliant this is!" - the owners' new Touring Aero 3 is a beautiful car also. As always, many thanks indeed for all your professional video car-enthusiast's content. Cheers.
What an absolute classic style with the ridiculously gorgeous fin. And that orchestra screaming out LOOK AT ME Thanks for sharing this glorious machine. ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻
@@mothaybabonnam5632 You're very welcome commander Cranky. You forgot to mention he also worked in the automotive industry recently, so that your put down was even more effective and you got an even bigger ego boost. I do hope you feel nice and superior now, you deserve it for being such a high caliber internet comment warrior. I salute thee!
@@nickwills6042 you missed the point...he knows it's based on the f12 and is basically telling you if the sound is the only thing you like about it then just buy an f12!
Much much much better than the car from last week 😍, in a class of its own it does have great underpinnings for a start but that design is totally amazing 🤩, fantastic video Harry thank you and the owner of this dream of a car👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Incredible, I can't believe, Harry, that you managed to get your hands my favourite car of Salon Privé 2020 and that I am actually appearing on your channel next to the car! That's a great coincidence and a massive cherry on the cake. 🙂 Is it an impression or is the turning light obliterating the LED lights when turning?
@@KewlBee I agree completely. Leno is a gem. Sure he has pots of money but he spends a lot of it on his passion and then lets anyone come along for the ride. Just feel sorry for him living where he does....
Bonkers car. Looks like they cut costs don’t developing rear glass, than they destroyed boot space, than they make that ugly front. Love Touring but not this car. But I congrat for the initiative.
I am glad that I did not have to be the first to say 'the emperor's clothes'. This car is silly in the way that pro-wrestlers are 'silly'. The useless stabilizer fin; the 'racing' numbers; the helmets with their tiny little fins; the oversize exhaust tips that add only weight; the cartoon colored interior; this is just so boy-racer. Carrozzeria Touring is a serious design shop, but this feels like the beginning of the end.
so i'm the only one who doesn't like this car..no glass on the back while they can make a split screen helped by that tail and i'm not even telling anything about the front where the only parts that have sense with the body is the lights... on the enterior that seat belts looks so ricer
All of the elements are beautiful but seem fitted to the wrong car. The Glickenhaus P4/5 nailed it. As did the Alfa Disco Volante, the New Stratos, and La Voiture Noire.
@@sfpesq exactly, disco volante nailed it. The only thing that I don't like of the Bugatti is the painted tires, remembers me of a picture of a range rover where he painted the tyres to make the wheels looks bigger🤣
Love how Harry has stated that the mic issue rectified in 1 min 50 secs. Not "very soon", not "a couple of mins" but 1 min 50 secs. What a gentleman!
... have to agree with you, and indeed it didn't cause me much sadness.
Harry Metcalfe is a living embodiment of precision instrument.
He reminds me of James May and all the good things about him. He Is like Mr. May and so much more.
Ha yes very precise !
Gyana Ranjan Dash similar shirts too, I thought!
This channel is such a joy for the petrolhead. In a world filled with vacuumcleaners for cars, this is pure joy. Keep the roadtrip video's coming, Harry!

Vacuum cleaners, washing machines... the stodgy porridge that fills the roads today are appliances not cars :(
@@manekdubash5022 Fully agree. Well spoken, Sir.
don't recall seeing Harry so mesmerized by a car before.
Gregory Zunic defo one for his spank bank.
That’s because he is a real car guy, not just focused on speed or how it looks! It’s statement and about what can and has been achieved, a unique (almost) piece of engineering and craftsmanship, yes it will split opinions, good design should, the owner likes it, so who cares.
Steve Meecham I like it as well, not sure what your point is.
He likes his Alfas or Alfa-connected cars. Couldn’t agree more. Alfa should build cars like this and leave Ferrari for dead.
I noticed that as well! To be fair, you couldn’t have a better start with an 812/F 12 as your underpinning.
16 mins 54 secs of unbridled joy! A truly fabulous car, a fabulous video and Harry's enjoyment is just so infectious!
God Harry, you are like a kid at Christmas in the first 8 mins lovely to see.
My favourite channel by a country mile. Just brilliant.
Great to see passion and genuine excitement in a review, very few motoring journalists posses your story telling abilities.
What a review and all under the speed limit of course !
Harry’s “Perfect 10-car garage” would be a sight to behold.
This rolling homage to poor taste would not make the cut.
His perfect 10-car garage contains 15 cars
my perfect 10 car garage is the best there is. I'll only mention a few: V12 swapped miata, LS swapped 250 GTO, LS swapped tesla model S, etc.
@@アマ-p2l A YES
@@アマ-p2l im gunna do an LS swap on a Honda Beat and an Isetta bubble car
" everybody else is home cooking tea but no I m going out" that's exactly what we drivers do! Harry is class act.

So lucky to have a chance to jump into this after a few hours rolling the Barley fields....enjoy your Sunday evening👍
Outstanding that car made the hairs on my neck take notice... One of the nicest new cars I have seen in a long time, its made my bucket list.......
Harry... you’re killing it!!! This is truly a world exclusive 👏
What an absolutely magnificent machine. A work of art!
Cataracts can be cured thankfully...
@@Speedwelltuning They can! A lack of discernment can not.
The future of the 1930s is finally here! What a fantastic video and drive!
Thank you Harry. What an absolute pleasure, this video!! Great car, great info, great scenes and that contagious big smile on your face. Loved this!
thanks to the owner for sharing this gem of automotive history and may he have many enjoyable miles driving it..
Such enthusiasm, Harry. Thank you for all of your content. This one is special.
Something unmistakable about the sound of a V12. My first aural memory was a Miura. Unforgettable.
I recall my first oral experience like it was yesterday 😁
What else can you say? Harry relentlessly continues with delightful surprises. This is the best automotive youtube channel, period.
Always entertaining Harry, and educational. I learned a lot today! This is one extraordinary car, piece of art. That V12 sounds almost too good to be true. Amazing attention to detail, splendid design. Love how they preserved the nostalgia, I agree with your view on the badge. Super review 👍🏻

Stunning car, thank you for giving us the opportunity of seeing and hearing this magnificent beast.
Harry needs to start selling prints of cars on his estate, the scenery with the caliber of cars he has in his disposal is a great combo!
...totally agree! They would sell like hotcakes!
Agreed. Would buy. Especially if one of them was an LP400
What a glorious sound! Terrific video Harry! Many thanks!
the option between a normal seatbelt and full race harness is brilliant
Is like this in most Lotus Exige´s too. You can chose according to your mindset 😅
Awesome, all credit to the owner to allow it to be driven by other special people!😍👍👏
That engine, the noise 👌....Electric cars will never make you feel like that....thanks for sharing the experience 🤪😎
Yeah EVs lack any character, so lifeless.
😴😴😴🙄
Best ferrari driven by the right man from automotive vlogging!!!perfect assembly!!!
What a machine, saw their Bentley estate a while back, that was something special too.
Only Harry would get away with borrowing Captain Scarlet's car
Captain Scarlet’s car! Of course! That’s what it reminds me of!
All the way through I was racking my brains thinking where I’d seen that fin back before
I had the Corgi toy as a kid
You hit the nail on the head it was bugging me as to what this reminded me of! Thanks you've put me out of my misery. Great guy letting Harry drive it and let us all eavesdrop! Definitely a classic of the future.
An elegant piece of art reliving my childhood dreams, thanks Harry for keeping up the excellent content and video.
Night and day compared to the Calum dogs breakfast from last week. Perfect
Cheers lucky owner for letting Harry share this beast with us.
I love that fin. Just like white chocolate and airships.
Nuts
Harry your videos are addictive...the car you are reviewing is literally mind boggling...and the way the 1930's design has been paid tribute too is pretty amazing...
Not my cup of tea but I'd never turn down a Harry's garage video
The sweep of the fenders, especially at the rear, recall to me Tom Tjaarda at his best. This is wonderful. Thank you so much.
I applaud the owner for having it built,even if I will never see one in the flesh, or were I to win the lottery,buy one.
Think there would be quite a few other cars on my list before this
Such as?
I bow in honor of the one in recognition of such goodness
You don't even play the lottery
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u just about any other supercar tbh
It’s a work of art.. cabin is sublime. Enjoy Harry!
6:11 says “f12 tdf” in the gauge cluster obviously they couldn’t remap the screen
Travis Russell Weak effort.
Good catch. Really not the worst thing to be reminded of though 🙂
It sadly only says F12 Berlinetta :/
So every time you turn it on you get reminded that you spent £650k on a £150k car. I've no idea why anyone would buy this hideous car.
Btw i am not a fan either.
Wonderful video. My only (slight) criticism is the captions for the archival photos were slightly blocked by the Harry's Garage watermark.
Apart from that, what a video and what a car. Your excitement to have it for the night is infectious!
The front bumper is too busy.
Other than that, brilliant machine.
I agree it detracts from the otherwise simplicity of the design.
As does the clashing colour orange used on the numerals and details. A simple white roundel with black numerals would have been so much more evocative of a classic racing car.
@alanrtment porter Nah, my dream car (as of now) is Porsche GT3 with a Manual.
The front looks like a chopped up gt3 bumper
@@ahmedp800 great choice, and I'd rather have a standard F12 or 812 instead of this, back end is OK but the front is a shocker
just needs to lose those two rectangular intakes
Trusting Harry with this beauty shows the high regard he is held in within the car enthusiast world,totall deserved!!
Mucho Bella😎😎
The sunset light actually really added a lot to the video. I wouldn't mind seeing that more often 😉
It is called golden hour in photography/videography:)
Glorious, Harry! A truly unique car, that one can only admire...Opening up the throats as you come out of Burford! Drove your favourite road last weekend, on the way to the Malvern Hills!
New Harry’s Garage going to be a great day
As usual a great video, but just love how much you're enjoying that car, it really comes across . Many thanks Harry .
The only person missing in the enjoyment of this car is Harry's grandson howling with laughter in the seat beside him! :)
Afternoon spent cycling, back home for dinner to find Harry has uploaded a video featuring this very special car, happy day(s)!
Wow, that car, that V12..
Go ride......
Hi Harry, how can anybody give you a thumbs down on this video I just do not know. I thought it was great.you must be a very much respected and trusted ex car journalist to be lent that car. One minute 220hp case tractor next a 6or7 million pound Ferrari .what a guy.

What a machine! Congratulations to Touring for keeping the lineage alive. You lucky man.
Five minutes ago I had no idea this car existed. Now, I must have one. Oh yes. I must.
GLORIOUS design Harry.......what a fabulous looking car. You lucky devil!!
That tear drop car brings a tear drop car to my eye.

"Look at it" -- almost all you need. Great to see more of the welcomed trend of engineering design looking to the early to mid 20th century.

"The Emperor's new clothes".
The perfect Emperors car for the complete emperors clothing madness that is 2020🤔
When compared to earlier Touring creations, as shown in the montage, this is poorly resolved; the tacky badge sums it up IMO
Well said. It is ok, but is nothing close to the Ferrari donor car. Sorry, Harry, this doesn't seem like a future classic.
