I can't watch it when it's not available outside the UK and no will say when it will be.
I would love to watch the show, but alas I live in the USA, and it is still not available at all here. :-( Other than getting a VPN is there any way to watch on this side of the pond?
Does Hammond still have oliver???
@@MCD10000 yes, he does.
@@Car_Fanatic Pretty sure James has already done the car ownership tour already, but he hasn't got that many as he lives in London and hasn't got the space. He sold his Ferrari... has a Tesla and a hydrogen car, but he drives a Fiat Punto. The other two live in the country on big estates, so they have room for big barns.
To quote every car guy ever " I have big plans for that someday."
I feel personally attacked
True story! 😂
"Yus mate, it's a retirement project." 🙄
"I have big plans for you"
my very words ,
love , peace from Canterbury U.K.
Could we plz get a car collection tour of the trios car collection?
they're all over the place, some are in museums, some are ded/ scrapped / crushed/ and the rest are in may's / clarksons various homes.
Hammond is the only one who has a real "collection" the other two don't have anywhere near as many
Yes this is all I’ve ever wanted
I hope this comment gets atleast a thousand likes, because yes that's what I've wanted to see for yonks
pretty sure we have, Hammond is basically the only one with a collection
You can see when Richard eyes light up when he talks about his passion. It's nice to see that genuine side of him.
I feel like I’ve been living under a rock just found this gem today 🎉
Me. This. But I haven't been.
You feel like you've been living under a rock because you didn't see a youtube video of Richard Hammond's car barn?
I like how it's not just a dusty old barn, but a barn with an insulated roof en extra pressurised tents to keep everything in top shape!
Cue James saying "Now, as you would expect, I've done it properly..."
Insulated for spud storage.
Yet still the Mustang is covered in dust ;)
It helps keep them under the radar.
Where can i get this tents?
Richard's plan of going to classic car races is really interesting, excited to see how that turns out!
@@alexandersuperapple 😂😂
not the worst idea he's had
You won't race the MG at Goodwood revival not old enough
@@adamwort7160 you're right, I won't race the MG... I don't have it
@@DannyBurns____ sorry I meant Richard won't be able to not old enough
Honestly my favourite car there is the old peugeot. I feel everyones got a mustang or MG or something in a barn. That peugeot is the most unique thing in there!
I was VERY surprised to see that Peugeot. I have one too that needs restoration. They're getting rarer and rarer in the UK.
I like them too I spent a bit of time in North/West Africa, every second car was a Peugeot, I believe there are still a lot around
I was a kid in the US in the late 1960’s. My friends mom bought a Triumph in the 1960’s. I loved how fun and sporty it was. She was a prematurely gray lady and it seemed like a midlife crisis, but, she had fun and took us for rides in it with the top down. We lived in the Northeast US and summers were not long, but it was a great car.
"As much as I hate to admit it, Hammond's car collection is really quite nice."
-James May (probably)
Impossible not to hear his voice when reading that sentence 😅
Nah James is a modernist who hates things with a soul
@@EresirThe1st Complete opposite of what he once was. Have to have balance I suppose, can't have three of the same.
In 1972, my mum and dad drove an MGBGT from Toronto Ontario Canada to Vancouver BC. They documented the entire journey in an amazing journal, and lots of photos. Seeing that car, makes me want to track down the original car they drove and buy it back for my dad (who is now 82!)
if u have the money, do it!! This will make him so happy
I once caught the train from Vancouver to Toronto. It definitely was an incredible journey with lots of photos. One day I think I might go and track down that exact train so I can buy it back for myself....
if you can do it He will be so happy .
do it!
‘Go Fund Me!’
Job done.
(Ish)
I absolutely love seeing these "behind-the-curtain" exposés of things we may not have seen on Top Gear or Grand Tour, but also some things we have seen and are pleasantly reminded of the laughs, smiles and fun from those long ago episodes 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Thank you Richard, you and your other two "idiot" mates are my heros 🙂🫶🏻
Hammond. His passion. Enthusiasm. Great collection. Great barn. Would like to see a lot more please.
Honestly, these are the kind of videos that I love most from the GT/TG hosts. I love hearing about their collections, what they loved, and what really impacted them over their years in the industry.
Glad to see Richard making progress on the ol' Land Rover 😂
Looks fully restored to me.
Its it funny that im sure there are worse states of land rovers out there.
@@aumkar2 That's the normal state of a Land Rover, surprisingly it was an old one instead of a brand spankling new one
Well its two Landrover's technically.
Yeah the progress he's made on it is unbelievable. Will be finished in a matter of days I bet 🤣🤣🤣
Im so happy you kept the boat tail, such an art piece of a car
The MGBGT is a great touring car. I drove one from Florida to Vermont for someone who had bought it there but didn't have the time to drive it back himself. Very comfortable with lots of luggage room. As it was verrry used, we had lots of trouble (tires, muffler, voltage regulator), but we had a terrific time in a wonderful sports car.
Voltage regulator? You were unlucky. A 15 minute job to replace.
Hammond is that kind of guy that everyone would like to have as a friend :)
Yes I'd imagine as brilliant as his Co part's are they would no doubt be unbearable in real life. Where as Richard would probably just pick his nose too much or other equally minor unpleasentrys.
If I had to choose one of the 3 wise men it would be May, Clarkson, Hammond in that order. Always found Hammond slightly iritating.
@@filtonkingswood you must be very grumpy lol
@@r2d23kk Send me your address, I’ll come and see you and we can have a little talk..
Hammond definitely seems the most down to earth and friendly of the three. May would be fine if you happen to be into the niche topic he’s interested in but otherwise seems a bit preachy. Clarkson has a bit of a grumpy side.
The Ducati is my fave in there. Still looks immensely fast stood still. Beautiful design. The MG also on my bucket list. Perfection!
Fantastic machine. Sound gorgeous too. ❤
there's just something about a single sided swing arm that gives me the fizz!
My dad used to own one in yellow. I remember when I was younger before he sold it I used to just sit in the garage and stare at it for hours. Now I'm 18 and I'm trying to buy one
definitely. looks like its in tip top state. looks modern, its gorgeous
My brother had one, formerly owned by Neil Peart the drummer from Rush, he commuted on it into Toronto, it was, ahem, not the most comfortable thing, I had no idea how exotic or desireable that bike was at the time.
Coming from classic car background to JDM and back again, I absolutely love the MG B GT. We've always had MGs in the family and they are honestly one of the best handling little cars. My dad had and MG A and then a very special MG B from the Paris motor show. He later sold this and went on to own 2 MG C's that he restored over a 10 year period. After selling the last one in 2020 I'm feeling the itch to get a B myself.
I can't believe you have a Peugeot 504 pickup!! I'm not sure about its standing the world over, but here in Kenya 🇰🇪 it's simply legendary! Can't wait to see your plans for it 😄✌️
Camper car in the makings....lol
My money is on a classic Dakar build. Awesome motor
Legendary car here too in South Africa 🇿🇦
@@SherwinR89 probably one of the cars that “made” Africa along with the Land Rover
@@TheProco2020 yes they are still being used in some African countries as taxis with over a million kilometres on them 🦁👑🌍
The cars are amazing. The collection astounding, but the presentation style - is simply put - superb. Nobody does it better. Interesting, whimsical, informative and exceptionally entertaining. Mr. Hammond is unparalleled. He displays all of the qualities of a May presentation without the not-too-subtly hidden curled lip. Capturing the authoritative, take it to the bank factuality of a Clarke pontification without the pontificating. Please do this forever, Mr. May.
Honestly, Richard Hammond and Chris Harris are my two favorite car journalists \ presenters. Their energy is the same. Pure passion for motoring, old and new, with the ability to convey it to the audience.
I would love to see Harris and Hammond do something together
We met when you were recording TG in the Isle of Man about twenty years ago. Two bikes you we're enthusiastic about then were the GSXR and the Sportster (which you thought was a bit of a bargain at the time). Glad you've not lost a drop of your enthusiasm. :-)
One of the most responsible men for my passion for motoring and cars, proud to see you winning after all these years :) Take Care
Love a garage tour from people you actually care about
i hope Richard knows hes living his best life not just for himself but for all of us not bright enough or fortunate enough to end with the chance to own and drive so many wonderful machines..
thanks for sharing your today with those of us who will never have your tomorrow!
Cheers!
Everything in life comes down to chance from the moment of conception onwards, intelligence has almost nothing at all to do with financial success, a lot of the richest people around are also some of the dumbest, for those born into it when you start that high up it's almost impossible to fail, and these days the average person has some sort of degree therefore the majority must be of average intelligence, the best we can do is try to influence our chances with our decisions and actions but in the end it still always comes down to chance. I agree with the sentiment though!
@@cenciende9401 im sad you think your intellect cant help you make more money...
what or who hurt you to destroy your ability to use your brain to better yourself?
i have used my brain to better myself my whole life.. it always works..
perhaps youre not using your brain but instead expect to be lauded merely for having one? because that would set you up for a lot of failure..
How is he , living his best life truly benefiting us , it doesn't.
Love that care you have taken with coocooning them all, brilliant!
What a nice collection of Righthand drive motorcycles.
As common as the MGB GT is, I own 2, it still manages to bring a smile to people's faces when they see it, the one that actually works anyway. It's quite loud, not very efficient and not all that quick but it's so much fun to throw around a corner feeling like you're doing 100 when you're actually doing 40
“The last car I ever drove on top gear” Gosh that hit me a bit
I feel you...
Thank you Mr. Hammond, for a look into 'the barn'. Seriously semi-speechless, but what I can mutter is woooooow. Cheers from California
A big part of why I love the 3 of you, but esp you Hammond, is how you talk about cars.. you have a way of making them come alive, sort of like having an out of body experience where you feel yourself in the wind, in the moment.. I will always love cars, and hope to own one someday, because of you. Thank you.
Im so excited for the future with the projects Hammond has got coming its gonna be amazing
As an MG lover I'm pleased to see you giving love to the MGB GT. Mine puts a smile on my face the whole time that I'm driving it. It's just right. 👍
It was great to meet Richard Hammond on his tour of South Africa when he stayed at my family’s Lodge. Very Pleasant. He was interested in my father’s vehicles as well 👍
The Peugeot truck woke me up. I hope to see more of it in the future!
Still a nice collection, despite being down a few vehicles... Love your business plan around taking the MG racing, handing out business cards after accidents, etc... That's a solid idea.
Never thought of that, however - Richard Hammond is the most interesting, the most skillled and the most auto-enthusiastic of The Three
I’ve just felt his love towards cars, that they use, and this always was really pleasant to watch
I want to also say that I often see MG enthusiasts running their cars down Highway 95 in Nevada. I see other groups once in a while, but the MG crowd have regular 5-10 driver convoys tearing up the Mid-West desert highways... Very very cool little cars. Unbelievably cool.
Drivetribe may not be perfect, but they never fail at bringing a smile to my face.
If I had access to that, I'd build a small flat inside and just live in the barn with the cars like Maverick with his airplane hangar.
This is the not fashionable kind of tour that I love. Great (and very unexpected) to see the little MG back on the screen. I haven't heard of it since its appearance on TG 7 years ago
Kudos Hammond, really appreciate you sharing your collection and plans. Team cog sounds brilliant!
the 390GT is one of my all time favourite cars. it always has been. I remember in the original top gear episode it was blue but that minted green colour just looks absolutely gorgeous
Hammond's fave quote, "I've got plans for it"..........😂😂😂😂
Get it done Richard people Wana see more of your work and adventures. Thank you for sharing
I absolutely love that Buick Riviera boat tail and its the more rare model with the vents in the boot lid. I have it on my car bucket list🤞
A real car and bike guy. Not just a rich tv show host
My parents bumped into him in Cheltenham a couple of days ago and they couldn’t believe how nice he was. He’s an all round nice guy. 🤙
Thank you for sharing about your vehicles. I found it very interesting. Of course my favorite was the mini and the MGB.
I want to see the Riviera in the same green. I want to see it slammed down, and tuned properly with that supercharger. I want to see Hammond put that beast into a show. That monster deserves respect. It deserves to be shown to the world!
Very cool. I hope the shop makes Hammond enough money that he can afford to buy another nice 911 T like the one he had, and any other car he had to sell. Great video. Thank you.
Yes the MGB! Love the Sebring look MGB. My brother in law has one sitting in a barn and I may just may take it on.
I really love all the members from the original Top Gear, the holy trinitiy of Top Gear Hammond, May & Clarkson. But I have to admit Hammond was & still is my favorite guy in the series, maybe because we have the similar taste in cars & bikes. Grew up watching the show...
Much love from Croatia & keep up the awesome work!
I love the perspects of the MG going racing. That'd be swell. Thanks for the tour!
For the Riviera i want a nice paintjob but leave the chrome chrome. It's such a beautiful shape from americana.
You know, I think Richard may actually love cars more than James and Jeremy.
It feels like Jezza loves cars mainly for the thrill of driving. May loves the engineering and quirks. Hammond is more of the romantic who builds relationships with his cars, and every car means something to him, every journey is special. Out of the three he always can deliver a story about a car
@@FranzTraininand +1000
Most definitely mate. This guy is a pure Petrol head
@@andyjames9734 I will forever cherish the photo I have of him when he came to Truckfest, him with the big hair, leather jacket and me in the Beckham 07 shirt. Such a time capsule
I love Richard Hammond ❤
Thanks for posting and sharing.
I respect this man greatly!
"It's awful, but I love it" is pretty much how I feel about all of my favorite vehicles lol
Love how it isnt full of the newest and the most expensive as you would see in so many of these collection videos.
you know what they say, money can't buy taste. Hammond has great taste.
I love how he is talking about cars and motorcycles. A video of all his bikes would be nice!
I love the passion these guys have for cars.
It hurt seeing the 911 gone. That, and a BMW 2002, are my dream cars.
Be well, and have fun.
Anytime Richard talks I listen, he is such a humble person and arfter watching Richard for almost my entire life I feel like I have evolved with him
Beautiful video and always love YT content about Richard's workshop, collection or other car related Hammond stories. LOVE the Peugeot and MGB GT!
I have always loved the MG BGT and seriously looking forward to seeing everything you do with that in the show.
Love the old Buick. My grandmother had one and it's the car I recall the most as a child. Way back when kids were allowed to stand up in the passenger seat and run wild in the back.
The classic restoration rule: don't start a second restoration until the first is done or the second will never get done; that rule seems to have been broken a number of times here. ;)
I love this kind of content! It's really interesting! But, I'd also love to see more about the motorcycles. Is there any way to hear Richard talk more about his motorcycles and the history and reviews? I'd be willing to mpay for that... As an owner of a Z900a, you can imagine I'm into that sort of stuff!
the Buick !!!!
It appears to still have the mud and dust on it from that episode. That alone makes it priceless
A 1967 MGB GT (right hand drive UK import) was my 2nd car as a teenager! Wonderful vehicle. I miss it desperately.
Love all the vehicles especially the motorcycles. Would be awesome to see y’all go over them especially the BMW has the flat twin is a legendary motorcycle that still molds BMW’s motorcycles
I just want to see Oliver again. I fell in love with that little car while watching that episode. I really hope you still have it.
Thanks for this. It's nice to see 'behind the scenes' as it were.
Hi Richard, I like your collection, classy and humble, where I work we have a xk120 for restoring, and mkiv, mg gt, spitfires, Bentley 1935 and much more,I remember this video when I'm next to him. My dad tells me to throw to the trash all my old cars, but I love to keep it in a barn like you. Cheers!
That Land rover series one could be reused as a Tow vehicle for the cars and the Peugeot Van could be a parts Van and for racing there perfect support vehicles and the land rover has plenty spares for the task
Can we PLEASE get this in the USA??? (Richard Hammond’s Workshop)
Those bikes! Please do an episode just on bikes, what a beautiful collection.
He has great taste, I am very picky on car designs but his collection is made out of pure gems 💎 well done
What a nice collection, even if it has thinned out a bit. I do wonder where Oliver is though.
I think he keeps him in the garage at the house. He showed us Oliver in the last series. This looks like a storage barn somewhere else.
I could watch Richard Hammond all day long, as he is a charming and very entertaining English Gentleman🤗
Of course you have the MGBGT!!!
My favy faves of the MG's, my family owned an MG restoration garage,
my mom got to drive the BGT, as a little girl I fell in love with that car.
Your cars and bikes are mint!!!! LOVE IT!
Thanks for sharing your garage!
I'm lucky my friends keep my classic in their garage :)
“I have a plan for it”, - the most uttered phrase in this video. Watch this space. Love the MG - so iconic in the U.K.
That little 883 sportster would make a great little chopper base to start with. And it would be awesome to see more bike content on here
I think that's a '73 BGT. The '72 (which I own) has the fish mouth grill with thin stainless trim around it.
Great collection! Hoping we get to see the rest of it that he keeps at home!
The "boat tail", for about 40 years I have always wanted to take one and cut 14 to 18" out of the hood/ front end length. I think this would make the car look more like the "Pony" car i think it was meant to be. Just a thought. Thanks for the tour!!
With Hammond driving he'll spend all of his time straightening his own car
Hammond's genius plan sounds like a plan to go racing on the company dime... Sometimes his genius is, well it's frightening.
I love Richard's passion for classics I would love to sit down at a pub and have a few pints and talk cars
Thanks for sharing!
That 120 is going to end up a race car.
We all know it. He'll be in his 70's racing it.
what richard should do is restore the series 1 himself as a sort of "how hard can it be" series
My buddy has a series 1.
His is a throwback from when he used to off road rally.
To this day he drives it like he stole it, it gets washed when it rains.
And it still smells of poo because he crashed into a stables horse poo heap years ago, rebuilt the front end and put it back on the road.
It could be done as a spin-off to the Smallest Cog show once that runs its course.
Hammond is the best of the three. He's a real car guy!
Thank you for sharing your goings on
Honestly, I was hoping to see more American cars in the garage 😂
He's driving them.
Would love a follow-on video to see whats left at his house! Love seeing the collections and the stories behind how he acquired them and why he's decided to keep certain ones and sell others
The GSXR deserves its own 'cocoon'. I owned a 91 model 1100, the 1127cc oil cooled models were brilliant, slightly more polished than the earlier slab/plank side models and super reliable. Mine had over 100,000kms on it when I sold it. It was and always will be my favourite motorcycle.
Love the Barbour jacket. My jacket of choice for driving too!
Im sorry but what happened to Oliver?
