Awesomely brilliant video Tom. The dealership seem to be fantastic Allowing you that access for us etc They are clearly hugely thorough with everything, and very transparent about all with the vehicle. For a 16 year old, bespoke Supercar, this particular service was, imo, good news. U have a complete and accurate heads up of where the CGT is at. Under the circumstances, the bill is reasonable ( IMO ) The CGT is going up in value. This record of the service, adds hugely to the provenance of the car. Future potential buyers could watch this, and it alleviates many potential concerns. The service cost u $ 16 k today, but, it’s probably immediately added $ 50 k, or more to its future potential value ? That $ 16 k bill, has actually been an excellent investment in the CGT. Big thanks for this, and all of your efforts with content. 🚗 💥 💨
This is one of my most favourite videos you have ever done, I love seeing all the parts and how it all works. It’s a incredible piece of kit, it’s a work of art. This is also why I think Tom is epic, he’s honest, works hard and can’t believe it’s two years since you got this! ( £400 for a Porsche badge? Ouch!) but it’s a incredible car and wow, that bill from the car at collecting cars 😭😭
I love these real world ownership cost type of videos. The final price didn’t seem too bad to me when I compared it to 12K to repair a very sick 04 Bentley conti GT a specialist 2 years ago! At least the Carrera GT is appreciating in value.
Thank you for sharing the walk through. My Porsche dealer Service Department has just begun videoing their inspection/evaluation and I think it’s a great way to learn.
Brilliant video, I love all this kind of stuff you do. Running a group of body repair shops I know what goes into this sort of thing but seeing you going through it step by step is great!
Awesome to get so 'up close and personal' with a rare supercar, thank you Tom. Great insights and love the TGE TV techinical videos from the service bay. Watched in full 👍
Very cool having a look at components we don't see often. The engineering is on a different level from more accessible supercars, CGT is so cool..great video👏🏻
Great video, well done on the service it's never fun getting the first inspection done on a fancy modern classic but the relief you feel afterwards is always good!
A mate was supposed to be collecting his from service at Reading on Monday and heading up to spectate and join us the PCGB Silverstone track day. The silver CGT in the background looks very, very similar to his. Love seeing the detail son these things.
Thank you Tom. An excellent insight, very informative, really interesting. Painful to see the total but in the great scheme of things understandable. I’m glad it’s turning out to be a great investment. The good news is that it would be better to put a few more miles on it to keep all the bushes active. Enjoy this work of art, that sounds like a wonderful symphony too.
Hey mate - just spent a week in Crete. With my 18 month old boy. Best week of his life. Challenging for me 😂 Beautiful beautiful beautiful place to be!!
Enjoyable video Tom!!! I always love seeing content on the Carrera GT. A lot of money spent but I'm sure it's a satisfying feeling to know the car is sorted.
Came here from some instagram #. The poor baby hanging up there holding on for dear life! Never seen that before and I absolutely LOVED seeing this! I never even knew there are places like these where you can still get every part replaced from Porsche itself! That is amazing! Does other manufacturers actually do that?
Brilliant video Tom. Nice to come back and see quality stuff - really enjoyed that service run through, review. A whole different “snack bracket” but great to dream… Cheers
Part of me thinks this video is amazing and part of me thinks £16½k 'are you taking the piss' !!!!???? But you nailed it at the end, it's a Carrera GT you'll get that 16 grand back when that car appreciates even more
I’ve got an old defender which has increased in value more than the amount I’ve spent on it. Which makes perfect sense when these things need to be kept well maintained.
Wow, seriously beautiful car. I’d no idea you had one (my bad, not watched your channel enough clearly!) but the colour is stunning! Bet it sounds the nuts too! Hope you enjoy a few miles once you’ve got that work done!
Really interesting Video Tom as its great to see the car in bits along with a rundown of all the parts and work required. I know the CGT is going up in value but I cannot get my head around a 16k service bill!! That said, it's worth paying that to keep it's provenance and history tip-top 👍
Thanks for sharing this Tom! It's something no one will ever know unless you are a millionaire. 16k is expensive but as the car is an investment for you it balances itself out. To me though it looked like they only really did oil/filter/sparks/tyres and some odd bits here and there......that VIP labour rate is insane! Interested to see when/if you sell the car whether or not it was worth it for you. The potential of a 50K service bill is surely worrying for anyone so I hope the overall ownership of the Carrera GT has been worth it so far 👍
Looking forward to watch this fully. Did a passenger ride in a CGT at the Supercar event at Goodwood over the weekend. Definitely on the dream car list if I ever make it big. I remember reading somewhere the once every 12 years engine out service is around £40k but still not bad considering the value of this now & looks to be increasing even more. I remember thinking, flipping heck that's expensive when you bought it but it's pretty much doubled in value since then. Well done sir.
Jay Leno highly recommends steel disks over composite for regular street use. A massive price difference. I think he even said that some people swap the composite for steel when new, then put the composite disks on when selling, to help attract buyers. (edited for a typo)
When it comes to the day of selling, it would be awesome to see the purchase price, cost of the finance, cost of the services/upkeep and what the net profit would be on it. They say you can't make money on cars. However, this car definitely bucks the trend and I think you've smashed it out the park with this one Tom.
Mate awesome video loved it. Got to keep on top of her not only for reliability but for history and it’s all huge pluses for the value and appreciation
Thanks for putting this video on. It’s very interesting and Iam pleased your car is good. I noticed spark plugs are about £45 each and you need 10. Damn lol.
It’s always the Labour they get you on, even on this it costs more then the actual parts. Still considering the car that’s not actually bad. I mean a Bugatti set of tyres is what 22 grand. But at least you know it’s a good car as they’ve stripped its engine out and checked everything. It’s important in the U.K. to have your car regularly checked because if the weather and climate, it can rust parts easily. Plus our crap roads wear parts away. Thanks for sharing a great informative video.
My friend just bought a beautiful blue Ferrari 575 , got it for a bargain,but, 10k at northleach Ferrari for a service and clutch . Worth every penny .
I love how you're like £2 for a Fuse which is perfectly reasonable, and swiftly glance over the £36 labour charge, now I'm no expert but as long as they fuse is in an accessible place that is literally a 2 minute job.
Very interesting video. Were you already convinced to make a full video on it? I know you know the history of this specific car but if some unforeseen issues popped up this could be detrimental for the value of the car. But good to see this piece of art is getting driven sometimes and taken care of!
Was always going to film it if I could - but was going to see what the issues were and make a decision if I really couldn’t let it hit the internet. If it was catastrophic my first priority wouldn’t have been the video, it would have been sorting as best I could.
Great great vid Tom. Stunning motor. What's the suspension issue with them? Causes the rear to collapse?? Could that have been the cause of Paul Walkers crash do you think??
Amazing that engine is tip top, but all the peripheral bits & nuts & screws & consumables adds £9k to base engine out price. But, on a car of this value, a few £10ks every 4 y and £2k/y in between is pretty good value.
Brilliant video, Tom - very informative! I've always wondered how 'manageable' these things are in the real world. I'd say that the cost is almost trivial compared to the vehicle's value - it's probably appreciated more than £16.5 in the time that it took to carry out the service - no joke when you also consider what the 'value' of seeing that service stamp would be to any future potential purchaser anyway! A huge bill, but it must be far more painless when you consider what you're sitting in, financially anyway. Plus, if you carry on only covering similar mileage each year then you're pretty 'safe' I'd say!
I have to be honest ( and I know it’s easy for me to think-spend your money!) but for such an esoteric car of this caliber I honestly thought an engine out bill with just the usual service parts to be replaced would be at least £20,000 and then the extras. I mean, your talking of the same caliber and desirability of Bugatti or Pagani and I bet an engine out full service on one of those would be eye watering! And then there is the investment factor. This beauty is only going to increase in value, would not surprise me that at the next engine out service in four years it’s going to be at least banging on the door of one point eight mill, so in those terms these services could be looked upon in the long term as free and as you know. Factory service and regular service adds to the value and ease to sell. It’s like owning a complicated Patek, every five years it goes back to Patek, you spend two or three thousand but in the end the value goes up way more than the service costs! Dare I say this Tom, long term when considering the year on year increase in value this is probably the cheapest running costs of any other of your cars! What a fantastic video of a fantastic car. I hope you can get a few more summer miles on it this season.
Fantastic video very interesting information a bit strange why they want to charge you to re clip the clutch cable they have had to remove to get the engine out. Surely that should be included in the original labour costs!!!!!!
Good evening TGE hope you are doing well i have absolutely loved this video thank you so much much i find this so interesting again i loved seeing that special place that all CGT have where it’s going that is brilliant thanks again TGE keep winning brilliant Video Best regards Tristan
That bill really isn't bad for everything they have done. Everyone likes to throw out some crazy numbers on how much a CGT costs to maintain. OMG, it needs a clutch, it costs $1,343,122 to replace.

Brilliant Video Mr T, great of you to share ownership details and always a rare to see. A beautiful car, I hope to see it in the flesh one day.
Very cool having a look at components we don't see often. The engineering is on a different level from more accessible supercars, CGT is so cool..great video👏🏻
Very glad to see you being technical for a change. It is important for the younger generation to understand mechanics.
Great video, well done on the service it's never fun getting the first inspection done on a fancy modern classic but the relief you feel afterwards is always good!
And this is why you’re the best vlogger around. Honest and in-depth. Well done. Great watch!
A mate was supposed to be collecting his from service at Reading on Monday and heading up to spectate and join us the PCGB Silverstone track day. The silver CGT in the background looks very, very similar to his. Love seeing the detail son these things.
Fascinating stuff… painful, but I can see also a relief too. Well done for looking after it properly!
Thank you Tom. An excellent insight, very informative, really interesting. Painful to see the total but in the great scheme of things understandable. I’m glad it’s turning out to be a great investment. The good news is that it would be better to put a few more miles on it to keep all the bushes active.

Fantastic video. Really appreciate you showing the real side to ownership. Relative to the car in question, the bill seems very fair.
Hey mate - just spent a week in Crete. With my 18 month old boy. Best week of his life. Challenging for me 😂 Beautiful beautiful beautiful place to be!!
One of the most legendary cars from Porsche comes with a bill to show... love the channel from south africa 🇿🇦
love that you do these types of vids.
Enjoyable video Tom!!! I always love seeing content on the Carrera GT. A lot of money spent but I'm sure it's a satisfying feeling to know the car is sorted.
Great you take care before they are 200 years and need a full restauration, great video as always!
Great that you cover the costs. Many people don’t. Great churn bud!

I never even knew there are places like these where you can still get every part replaced from Porsche itself! That is amazing! Does other manufacturers actually do that?
Porsche are the dogs danglies for this sort of thing. Worth pointing out the work start to finish took a few days.
Brilliant video Tom. Nice to come back and see quality stuff - really enjoyed that service run through, review. A whole different “snack bracket” but great to dream…
Cheers
Part of me thinks this video is amazing and part of me thinks £16½k 'are you taking the piss' !!!!???? But you nailed it at the end, it's a Carrera GT you'll get that 16 grand back when that car appreciates even more
Thanks for share this video about your Porsche on the center, the price of the bill and how you explain everything, just very interesting, CHAOS !
Love this video its like an EVO fast fleet report but done on film! It includes all the ownership stuff we all love hearing about! More please!
I’ve got an old defender which has increased in value more than the amount I’ve spent on it. Which makes perfect sense when these things need to be kept well maintained.
Wow, seriously beautiful car. I’d no idea you had one (my bad, not watched your channel enough clearly!) but the colour is stunning! Bet it sounds the nuts too! Hope you enjoy a few miles once you’ve got that work done!
Remember - recover all parts even if damaged - they all have value...
a good honest insight to GT ownership, Thanks for sharing!!
Really interesting Video Tom as its great to see the car in bits along with a rundown of all the parts and work required. I know the CGT is going up in value but I cannot get my head around a 16k service bill!! That said, it's worth paying that to keep it's provenance and history tip-top 👍
You will get that 16k as a return on your resale value as the vehicle will be in A1 condition and appreciate more
Thanks for sharing this Tom! It's something no one will ever know unless you are a millionaire. 16k is expensive but as the car is an investment for you it balances itself out. To me though it looked like they only really did oil/filter/sparks/tyres and some odd bits here and there......that VIP labour rate is insane!

Thank god for appreciation when maintenance costs this much. Such an epic car and spec. My favourite TGE vehicle by far.
Love the techy look round the car and engine
Always honest and interesting mate great video

(edited for a typo)
Think you’ve just upped your game there Tom. Very interesting and great insight.
Great video Tom and that Carrera GT was a great find continued luck and pleasure with it.
Love this video and the technical detail. Great to see drivetrain out and I have never seen the CGT transmission before.
Thank you so much Tom. This is literally a dream video. Love this sort of stuff.
Great real-world video. Love it! Good call taking the plunge and taking it in for that too 😂👍
£140 for a cover bolt. Cannot comprehend how comfortable someone has to be to say it’s not that bad
Been waiting for this. Great video lad up there with one of the more useful and interesting ones
When it comes to the day of selling, it would be awesome to see the purchase price, cost of the finance, cost of the services/upkeep and what the net profit would be on it. They say you can't make money on cars. However, this car definitely bucks the trend and I think you've smashed it out the park with this one Tom.
Good video seeing the mechanics of the car and underneath
Mate awesome video loved it. Got to keep on top of her not only for reliability but for history and it’s all huge pluses for the value and appreciation
Really interesting and enjoyable video. Thanks for doing the open and honest major service costs.
Great content...more like this please and if possible would love to see coverage while technicians are working on your car!
Cracking video Tom, loved this insight to the CGT service.
Really good video Tom! Very interesting to see the car taken apart! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
love the video, i love looking over the mechanical aspect of this vlog. good work tom. keep them coming
Love the advert in just as the price reveal 🤗 😊 good vid tge!
We need more videos like this! Reminds me of the ones down at Rindt with the Targa and 912 - love them!
Thanks for putting this video on. It’s very interesting and Iam pleased your car is good. I noticed spark plugs are about £45 each and you need 10. Damn lol.
Superb in-depth post on your car great to see what’s required to keep a super car in top nick 👍

Great video! Really interesting and an honest open look at ownership.
My absolute dream car! Don't suppose I'll ever even sit in one but don't have the bills either. Makes my 911 look thrifty 😊
Thanks for this vid,really interesting. I love looking inside at all the different forgings,castings etc.👍🏻
My friend just bought a beautiful blue Ferrari 575 , got it for a bargain,but, 10k at northleach Ferrari for a service and clutch . Worth every penny .
Absolutely brilliant video. Great insight into the costings for one of these cars. Thank you Tom
Just wear and tear items to be fair. You’d expect that on any car. Love to see the attention to detail!
I love how you're like £2 for a Fuse which is perfectly reasonable, and swiftly glance over the £36 labour charge, now I'm no expert but as long as they fuse is in an accessible place that is literally a 2 minute job.
Not to say that it's overpriced you're obviously paying for expertise and facilities.
Yeh I didn’t question everything. They were really good, nice, helpful & efficient. I’m sure there’s some CGT tax in there but I’m happy.
@@TGE an easy decision to get done properly when it’s value is still increasing year on year!
This was a very good video, Tom. Very interesting indeed.
Not nearly as bad as I figured it would be! Great content and really interesting to watch!
Very interesting video. Were you already convinced to make a full video on it?

Wow, what an interesting video.
Great stuff Tom, eally enjoyed that.
Great vid, do more of these with some of the others in your collection!
Great video Tom really enjoyed watching it. Although the bill was scary it’s good provenance for a car of that value should you sell it in the future
Great video Tom, thanks for doing it - pretty unique I’d say to get this sort of insight. £16k suddenly doesn’t sound so bad on a million pound car! 🤪
Great great vid Tom. Stunning motor. What's the suspension issue with them? Causes the rear to collapse?? Could that have been the cause of Paul Walkers crash do you think??
I don’t know - I wasn’t there
@@TGE good answer, walked into that one lol.... Stay safe dude 👍😊
Proper interesting vid that 👍makes my c63 amg service at £500 cheap as chips 👍😀 looking forward to seeing you driving it on the road again 👍😀
Appreciation will always cover those bills. Free motoring! 💲

Shit!!!!! That's crazy money but one of the most amazing cars out there today. Great video and mega car

They’re great guys there and I was very happy with the price too. Thank you!
55 quid a mile 👌🏻
Is the transmission built into the block like the EB110 or is that bolted on? Looks sick either way.
Best video yet! That cost is crazy!
Love these types of videos, a bit like Mat Armstrong on his channel
Cool video lad. Drive it in good health!
Fantastic video very interesting information a bit strange why they want to charge you to re clip the clutch cable they have had to remove to get the engine out. Surely that should be included in the original labour costs!!!!!!
I found that very honest and interesting. Cheers Lad.
Is there a reason why you chose to have it serviced at a Porsche centre, rather than any other independent services in the UK? There's many good ones
Good evening TGE hope you are doing well i have absolutely loved this video thank you so much much i find this so interesting again i loved seeing that special place that all CGT have where it’s going that is brilliant thanks again TGE keep winning brilliant Video
Best regards Tristan
17k is some money but considering the price of the car it's probably a bargain. Good to see such a nice car being well taken care of.
I'm not even paying and my butt hole puckered when you showed the total!!!
That bill really isn't bad for everything they have done. Everyone likes to throw out some crazy numbers on how much a CGT costs to maintain. OMG, it needs a clutch, it costs $1,343,122 to replace.
Nice one brother, great video, more of this content please
Great video Tom, really interesting.
Really great vid Tom good work 👊💥
really interesting vid that to see the cost of parts and labour of something like this
Love this one Tom! Would you consider a 918 Spyder ? That would be such a perfect garage along with all your other Porsches !
class video... proper insight to owning a car like this
When you consider the value of the car and your bill as a % of the value, it's actually good value.
The young Metcalfe does it again. Great video Tom
Really enjoyed this stuff!
