Thanks for watching SeenThroughGlass. If you liked this video you may also like videos by Shmee150, Salomondrin, Supercars Of London, Car Throttle, MrJWW and Petrolicious. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Sam, I genuinely can't thank you enough for making a proper, full-length video. For those of us who don't have the access/ability to visit these amazing collections, this is a gift too precious for words to describe. From a loyal subscriber, thank you!
Haha great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it
@@seenthroughglass a little sad it's not the 40 minute cut, I have a lot of time to kill rn ;)
Perfectly stated 👏
Yes. Sam you did a wonderful and sensitive job and Larry Wilson, Collector, appreciated that.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 yeah so brave... and we wouldn't want to disappoint the wealthy old white guy would we.
SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN 6 DAYS AND A BBC FILM CREW
MRMichael Lepp and a new gear box
I love his content but HATE HIS VOICE. SORR I'm OUT !!!!!!!
Forget the cars for a second and look at the knowledge, love and stories this about them.
Heartiest respect for him.
Hope we get to see him again on your channel.
This is honestly one of your best video's! I love the fact that you geek out over the "less popular" classics and you have great taste. I think that if you got more in to the vintage en modern classic cars with your video's that the quality wil surely get even better! Love what you're doing keep up the good work.
Really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
@@seenthroughglass Sam you bloody aced it. Imagine a room full of Ferraris so beautiful that a stunning Dino is almost over looked.
Sam pleasee make more content with this cars and this TRUE collectors (not some arabs full of money but without car culture like Shmee150's videos). Even if you get less views than the supercars stuff.
@@seenthroughglass best video you haver ever done , amazing content love the classics Sam
Not just one of your best videos, but one of the best videos about a car collection. The knowledge presented by yourself and your host is so engrossing that you achieved what every video wants, to leave your viewer fully satisfied yet wanting more. Top notch work. You fill a void that is felt by viewers that watch automotive videos that makes other content feel like “fluff’ just to fill time. Thank you for such great content, production quality, and subject knowledge only eclipsed by your great delivery. My Sunday morning is done because watching anything else after this will just leave me feeling disappointed. #settingthebar
WOW... Sam, you beat Shmee to this fantastic collection.!! A few years ago I had to pick up some shelving in western Jupiter / Palm Beach across from Larry's storage building. I was shocked at what was parked outside that day... an old C2 Corvette track car from Sebring and a Ferrari 250. Then I met Larry at the Boca Raton Concours De Elegance. He is a very nice guy and invited me to see his collection. Thanks for this tour.!
So glad you got to check it out as well. I was so blown away that I was invited to film the place. Felt very special
@@seenthroughglass Larry's collection is FANTASTIC..! I am so happy to see you doing a video there.!! and you got to drive those 2 classic sports cars.!! WIN WIN
Absolutely go the classic car route. We have enough other youtubers who film supercars, and to be honest, I don't really watch any of them anymore. But when I see a video like this one show up in my feed, I always have to watch it. There's just not enough quality content about classic cars on TH-cam.
Same, I find myself slowly watching the supercars channels less and less, and appreciating channels like STG more and more for their dedication to quality.
Same here, I unsubscribed from others like SOL, MR.JWW, SHMEE and so on... This is so much more personal and different, Sam feels more genuine and less like a TH-camr if that makes sense.
To reach young people with classics, there has to be some kind of connection. Don't just show us the car, compare it to new designs. Tell us what about it was so novel for the time. There has to be a formula for classic cars on TH-cam. Petrolicious has its niche, surely there is untapped potential with classic cars. Gen Z and Millenials must must must be involved.
Edit: and the cars should ideally be driven. Also, a magnetic personality is required along with top tier camerawork and editing. The bar is so high these days on YT.
Go to Netflix
Their are so many shows with classic , old and desirable cars
And many of them are builds
This guy deserves the collection; it’s great to see an obvious enthusiast amassing a collection, and not just some rich guy in it for the investment potential.
OMG OMG.....this.....this.....
this is the collection par excellence!!!
I love this man.
I love what he loves.
Thank God you found him, and exposed his love and car passion.
It is me....inside out.
I’m not British, but the only word that can describe this collection is “Mega”.
her Majesty does not endorse this word!
That'll do it ;)
I spent 3hrs getting tags for 1-car, imagine needing 85 of them?
Usually not a fan of people with mega collections... because that means they keep em of the road!
But this man... he cares about legacy... rescueing, recreating, restoring... it's all about keeping them alive and getting them the love and care they deserve.
Then hands you the keys to the Austin Healey, I mean! That's what it's all about. Being passionate. Sharing stories. Creating memories.
Next generations will thank guys like these for keeping these around... being able to get appreciated.
Sam when you were in that Healey 100S and just saying “I’m thinking about giving up the content on all the modern super cars for this...” that’s exactly what I’d love to see! I think it would be an amazing niche for you and it would be great to see some younger blood and more personality in the classic/concours scene. Thoroughly loved the film, cheers.
Classics really elevate the definition of "beauty" to me and I couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire video. Modern cars have got nothing compared to all of these, they simply lack soul (driven a few supercars, Ferrari, Lambo, AMG). Genuinely started tearing up when we got to see the 250 California Spyder (+275 NART Spyder, P4), what I consider to be the most beautiful car(s) ever.
Thank you, I only wish I someday get the same opportunity to get up close to some of these.
I can't help but wonder more about Larry himself... I'd love to hear more about the person behind these amazing cars. Keep up the great content Sam!
Thank you Larry Wilson. Wow! Not just driving an original, professionally engineered, souped Austin-Healey, but one that is impeccably restored and maintained. Top of the mountain.
this video is so special for many reasons. YOU LET MR WILSON SPEAK! thank you for taking the back seat and letting him share his collection.
GET THIS MAN TO 500K!
Such such good content on Drive The World. This collection was definitely different from the typical supercar content but it was still so entertaining to watch!
Not 41min like the first cut but still more than enough to enjoy! Let's go :D
Haha. 41mins just felt too long but I promise I didn’t cut that much
@@seenthroughglass Haha good news :)
Seen Through Glass aww, I want the 41 minute cut! This was heaven for me. A do it yourself guy. Loves cars, and understands how they go together and what makes them special.
@@seenthroughglass Could use the full cut haha The STG directors edition
I want the 41 mins too !
Incredible collection, could watch and listen for hours - thanks Sam!
Cars With JB agreed
Love that this guy actually drives these beautiful cars.
Now that is a collection of desirable cars.
The Austin Healy you got to drive is wonderful.
The Lister-Jaguar sounds insane.
I am considering getting a old Alfa or Jaguar just because it is more fun with old cars in my opinion.
Great video.
Keep up the good work.
Denis Spratt do it!!!! Same cravings here as well, looking at old Alfa or maybe a 205 gti project car.
@@tomnutting3836 Yeah I'm thinking a Alfa GTV Bertone or a Jaguar MKII.
my nephew just sold his Lister-jag as he wasn't using it enough but the sound is magical.
I have a 66 jag e type roadster. It's amazing how modern it feels, yet it's more beautiful than anything produced today. For sure. Buy something vintage to enjoy.
As much as I love modern cars and tech you can't beat the looks of these early classic when car makers had unrestricted and free reign over there designs
I thank you with all my heart Sam... Tomorrow is my exam and I'm stressed but your video will make my day... Thank you !!
Good luck with your exam!
That Lister Jag might be one of the best sounds I’ve ever heard, after you double de-clutched and went up a gear... goosebumps, incredible stuff. Great video, love seeing these kind of cars and the modern stuff!!! Keep it up Sam
Haha. It was so freaking loud and quite terrifying to drive but an amazing experience
I agree...what a sound
i almost teared up with the casual tone of his voice when he said he sourced the buck for that Ferrari to build the new panels. like it's a normal thing to do, the attention to detail is awesome.
It's all about history. Basically a car museum that are specimens are driven which is the whole point of appreciation. What a collection san history. Thank you!
As always love your cinematography a pleasure to watch
Thanks!
This guys collection is mega!!! I very much enjoyed this!!!
That Austin Healey is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen... those wheels! 😍
Sam, do you have a hi-res of this 23:58, I want it on my desktop (and driveway).
I love it that there are modern "everyday cars" alongside those old gems. Not something you usually see in a collection .
That was one of the best collections I’ve seen, love the fact he drives them all “oh yeah, you can take that out”.. don’t forget to ‘double-de-clutch’ when you drive a classic 👍
Yes, I've been waiting for a TH-camr to leave all the digital, tech-heavy supercars that perform 90% of the work for the driver, and start showing, driving and discussing the classics. Please continue to making more videos like this! I'd take a drive in a 250-350hp carburetor v12 any day over a modern hybrid 1200hp machine where you can only experience a tiny fraction of the performance on the street. The sights and sounds are unmatched!!
Mate, we're not all 14. If you're able to get owners of cars of this calibre to give you a drive, then I'm all for it. Love your respect for these guys as well. I can see a #drivetheworldclassic coming when you get to drive the yet to be finished cars in Larry's collection. Keep it up Sam, brilliant.
I know classic cars content tend to fail on social medias, but boy I enjoy it. Please continue that way !
I am amazed at how Mr Wilson is able to communicate off the top of his head the technical data and historical information with accuracy for all those cars. Awesome collection. Great video.
Fantastic video Sam. I met David Piper a few times when he brought his Ferrari racing cars to South Africa for the annual historic racing event held at both Zwartkops and Killarney. That green livery is instantly recognizable. Kudos to Mr Larry Wilson for preserving these incredible cars and for using them as intended.
Thanku so much Mr. Wilson and seenthroughglass for letting us experience one of the finest car collections in the world . Mr.Wilson has exquisite taste. It’s nice to know they’re people out there that can collect and preserve the cars we dream about, let alone drive them regularly. Thx Mr . Wilson.
I've been a subscriber since your 4C and I must say it's been amazing to watch this channel grow and get better and better. The Drive the World series has quickly become one of my favorites on TH-cam. Can't wait to see what's next, you're on a roll mate. Cheers from South FL!
Simply stunning!! Thank you to Mr.Wilson for letting you film it.
Absolutely fascinating!! Anyone who can talk on camera so knowledgably, and passionately like that, remembering all that history gets my vote. I was hooked throughout!! Beautiful!!
The visit of the collection was really nice, but the driving part was the cherry on the cake, it was so much fun to see you enjoying it so much!
Anyone want to hazard a guess at the total value of that collection? Heck, just the Porche's, the 275 NART Spider and the A6GCS Maserati are close to $100 million between them let alone the other dozens and dozens of cars. I also love how he talks about how much each car was used/ raced then brought back to streetcar shape.
Easily one of your best videos ever Sam! Keep it up.
This is GOLD! Thank you for sharing this collection - absolutely amazing.
Excellent Production. Larry is really down to earth. It's very refreshing to watch someone who has built a collection over decades.
Loved listening to him say 'raced that a lot, raced that, raced this', a true connoisseur.
Well done on 'Scoop of the Year' in my opinion.
In 1959, when I was 11, a guy my father worked with took me for a ride in his Austin Healey 100-6. I've been a "motor head" since. Thanks to you & the owner for sharing this extrordinary collection!
The passion you bring over in these videos is just amazing, enjoy it out there mate!
Hard not to be passionate in a room like this!
THIS VIDEO! THIS COLLECTION! AMAZING!
Astounding ! Thank you for sharing !
Love this video! The knowledge and little story’s behind them all are so amazing! Love how excited you get too! 👌🏼👌🏼
I'm just so glad to see these amazing cars actually driven, not collecting dust in barn as in most collections. This gentleman with his passion for these incredible cars is just fantastic. Great video.
Best ever, Sam. Absolutely spectacular. Your enthusiasm and love of these classics is so genuine and fun to watch.
Fantastic....it's great to see a collector who knows all about his collection.....it's so large a collection! Thanks for this one.
One of your best videos. Thoroughly enjoyed every second of it, also learned a lot of stuff while i did that. Huge huge thanks to you. Also Larry did a great job of explaining everything.
Wauw Sam, absolutely amazing! I think you should defenitely do more of this classic content!
I have been watching your videos for years now. But for the first time, I realised that I was smiling since the min 19.45 till the min 23.30! Man I was feeling the experience behind my computer screen! Amazing! Please keep going with the great work! Greetings from Portugal!
20:32 Dude, do it! I think everyone watching your videos can sense the passion and the enthusiasm you have for vintage Cars. I honestly think we need someone young like you bringing the history of cars and motorsport to a platform like youtube!
Big respect to LW who not only put this fabulous collection together but also uses it. Also he's clearly not just a collector but an aficionado, his depth of knowledge makes it a pleasure to listen to him. Thanks for a great video.
This guy is my hero. If I cant buy, I’ll build it.
I could listen to Larry Wilson talk all day about cars
Truly extraordinary. Thanks, Sam!
This was epic! Thank you so much.
Absolutely TREMENDOUS!
That collection is just wow, so much wow.
I thought that Jay was the ultimate "Car Guy". I think Mr. Wilson just changed my mind. Thanks for the master class.
Wow. WOW. WOW!!! What a video Sam! This was a great one; not just the collection but also the drives. The uniqueness of the Lister-Jaguar made it seem as if we were there with you. What a vid! Love the, all, but this is one for the ages. Keep it up!
WOW that was amazing. That little Austin Healy looked like such a hoot to drive. Talk about miles per smile. Then the Jag on top of it. So raw, loud and incredible.
Wow wow wow! That collection is amazing and the stories he has just takes it to another level. Please more classic car videos!
Saw this collection in person a couple of years ago and was in awe!!!!!
Guys like Larry must be celebrated for driving their collections and letting us have a glance a that terrifying and amazing world of racing in those past days. Thank you Sam for the video, and I sincerely hope that you'll take the way of the classic cars more often.
Stunning collection.
I've watched many of your videos over the past few months and enjoyed them all. I haven't actually subscribed for some reason, until today. The vintage exotics in this collection are breathtaking! And yes, you did them justice sir! Well done.
Best vid you’ve ever done Sam. Great to see you driving the healey it took me back to the late 90s when I owned a 100-4. Thanks for an amazing insight into this unique collection
This collection is FAR cooler than Leno’s IMO. His vintage German car collection alone is absolutely incredible. Props to the owner for his impeccable taste.
Another outstanding video, Sam. Lovely to 'meet' a collector who talks in such a relaxed way without an ounce of bragging or showing off. I smiled at the Ferrari Mondial in shot, clearly a guy who chooses cars to enjoy driving rather than worrying what others say. Very jealous of your drive in the Healey & Lister. Keep up the great work!
wow this gentleman knows more than google about these cars. wow, what a a collection. every one of his cars are so incredibly immaculate.
This is truly amazing 😍
This video was incredible, what an experience! Thanks for the effort to bring this to everyone Sam
Best video yet Sam! Goosebumps at times watching this, although that might be the November weather in the UK.
A truly spectacular collection of beautiful automobiles. Not a fugly one in the bunch. Larry Wilson has exquisite taste in cars. Thank you STG and Mr. Wilson for a very enjoyable respite from the mundane.
I have been loving the content that you have been making on your tour the world trip and this is a good example.
Ferrari has got so much history, so many stories about Enzo and all the cars. No other brand like it.
Porsche
LookOutItsCar!!!! Porsche has fantastic racing history and a catalogue of legendary cars. But to drive a Porsche isn’t as special (more common), and the brand isn’t as charismatic and mystical as Ferrari. For me anyway.
actually alfa romeo has more to it.
Cuore Sportivo doesn't Enzo also have history as a racing driver for Alfa Romeo?
@@chielwouterscw not just that, the very first ferrari has both the prancing horse and the alfa romeo batch because it was an alfa romeo made by enzo. so you can pretty much say alfa gave birth the ferrari. it hurts how many people are unaware of these facts.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! Thanks for showing us the wonderful car collections of North America. Amazing stuff.
Thanks Sam. This video made justice to an insane collection. More videos like this please!
That was truly amazing. I could have watched a 3 hour documentary on this collection. Such beautiful and special cars. I would spend hours there just geeking out over everything 😍😍😍
Wow, Just Wow. All in one place. There were several that I would sleep next to... and drive again the next day!.
Thank You.
Fantastic vid Sam! So great watching you drive those 2 breath taking classics :)
Love seeing a classic car collection and the history behind each car always amazes me and is the part I enjoy the most
What a video Sam. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us!
Brilliant Sam. Thank you .
Please please please give us more videos as this one ! This video is just dreamy
Loving the fact you’re having more and more interest to classics
Please keep on going into that way ! Loving that
The main problem with these videos is that every time a new one comes out my first reaction is always Omg best video ever 😍 How do you still make these better everytime !!
Awesome. Love the spec on the old Austin.
What a incredible video Sam. Keep on the videos, especially these longer videos. I’m developing more of a appreciation for classic cars thanks to you. What a legend
thanks man, a really excellent tour, my heart races too. well done mate!
Having had a Austin Healy LeMans, when I was a kid and they were cheep, I was sent down memory lane seeing that car on the move. Lucky Man Sam.
What a guy! I love the collection and it’s amazing to hear the stories of each. Great video Sam. Keep it up #stillwerise
When they turned to the 250 California...I yelled out loud....alone in my room.....holy holy holy shit Larry ...you are going to Car Guy Heaven....it’s not that we haven’t seen one before....those of us afflicted with the LOVE for all things automotive, it’s the quantity and quality and presentation of this collection plus the Man whose passion and considerable resources assembled said collection.....thank you for sharing it with the world
What an amazing video. Larry gets No.1 legend status here. You fit in perfectly in these cars. Hope you visit this place again and get to drive more things.
Driving the Austin Healey was amazing! That gives me great memories because my grandpa has a 57 Austin Healey! such a great video!
your car content is by far the best on youtube!! love this. keep it up :)
Love this. The older cars, wou!!! Please more off this. Holland love this.
What a collection this is unbelievable ! Probably your most interesting video of Drive the world. Not that the other weren't but OMG this collection !
