love how when he touches the cars he uses his jumper so he dosn't leave a mark on the paint. nice to see that level of respect.
I noticed that to
Yes
Probably instructed by the owner to do so.
@@williambremner9022 I mean probably but you can also see that he himself is just naturally very delicate with it in a way that he wants to keep it as it is.
Knowing that they are all delicate and buffed to perfection prior to sale - why didn't he bring soft gloves?!
Chris Harris is the only guy worth watching on top gear....knows his stuff.. is massively passionate and above all....the guy can really drive!
Yea i agree
I always knew he should of been on Top Gear.
Totally agree.
Chris and Tiff are the 2 best presenters!
Incredible collection, incredible tour.
Hey Sam..please call Doug DeMuro immediately and tell him paradise is no longer in heaven and send him the link to this video.
Chris is an incredible man!
a GRAND TOUR, indeed
im not kidding when I say that this is one of my favorite videos on youtube. His passion, and genuine interest comes through in every second of it. Fantastic.
Amazing Passion For Driving 🚗
Next time please make this 30 minutes +. Loved every second of it
YES!
because I kept rewinding, it took me 30 minutes to finish watching it and it's only 12 minutes in length. If it gets too long my day would be gone
Or 60 +
Same.
Even 60 mins 😃👍
His personality and passion that he puts into his craft is really what Chris is all about. Love this style of videos!
It's great - the enthusiasm he has for these old cars is contagious.
I'd have watched a 4-hour version of that. :-)
Yes
Me too
Chris Harris doesn't look like me, but he is me... I think :)
yup. need a 4-hour version.
I need to see that
This is possibly THE greatest car collection I have ever seen. Truly breathtaking.
Can we just have Harris on his own doing top gear. He’s the only one I enjoy watching.
/// M facts
True. Still Miss the old squad
I second that... He's better than everyone else at the Moment... And watching the latest Grand Tour season 3 episode 4, better than all the 3 combined...
@@yashsiddham9728 Jeremy said himself that Chris is one of the best car journalist out there
@@dulisha yes, and I couldn't agree more. I like those 3 too. But it feels like Harris would be limited due to Flintoff and the other one. And the reason why the New Top Gear will always be lacking of the acclaim of the Old.
More Harris based nerdery please.
Also this should’ve been an hour long.
At least.
Go read his evo diaries of evo.co.uk forum. Tremendous short reads and stories.
That was better than a ten minute freeview.
Absofuckinlutley!
Chris speaks the language. He knows the knowledge.
Hee Kim he is the Richard Hudson-Evans of 2019
This is therapy honestly. Loved every second. Absolutely share the love and enthusiasm for cars of this era.
This is probably one of my favorite TOP gear video ever.
Gotta say those black SEC coupe Mercs look sexy has hell, they make modern Mercs look like soccer mom cars.
Ikr now everyone is all about those ridiculous V12 powered G 65s lol. Don't get me wrong, I like G Wagens but.... tf is V12 in this for lmao. My fav is the 500E amazing sleeper like those SECs.
Hammers
And modern Mercs are still bad ass
All black sec Mercs give me a need for manhood counciling
@@dhio9615 you mean ostentatious
Brilliant. My only complaint is that it's not an hour long.
This should be at least 1hour
To see him go nuts... Entertaining
Pedro Macário And least is the key word. Should be three hours.
However long it would take to do cinematic shots and spec/fact listings for every inch of every car. A year long, hour or 2 per week series could do it. A casual 52 - 104 hours of footage. :) Then the next year's series can be all the outtakes/'vlogs' for everything behind the cinematic stuff we would see in the first series. :)
Well, we can dream.
Yes. I can watch this when I am off work, in the background on my second screen so I can awe at the lovely cars... oh and that starion.... Beauty
It would be one hour if top gear wasn't in charge
The amount of knowledge Chris has on all these cars is amazing...Chris is a walking car encyclopedia...and how much respect he gives to each car, truly a car nut...
This is nearly every car nut
Chris pulling his sleeves over his hands so he doesn't leave hand prints on the cars is one of the best bits.
I did notice but didn't think of it that way. How lovely!
That's TRUE passion.
Maybe he doesn't wanna get caught when he steals one of 'em :-)
@@kagankantar7439 correction all of them ;p
Respect🤜
Those are nice cars and all, but what really gets to me is the absolute passion Chris has for the cars. Absolutely geeking out, running names and stats like nobody's business, throwing away his cool card to share the wealth of knowledge and appreciation he has for his interest. I wish the world were full of people like Chris who are just as riveted about their careers and hobbies as he is. Well done!
Throwing out all this knowledge is the biggest cool card to any nerd of anything. Not only was it an amazing collection they found just the right man so show it off
Chris makes Top Gear, period. No other car journalist geeks out over these kind of cars than Chris Harris. He is unique in the way he presents and taking the audience with him and emerge them in a wonderfull experience. Maybe I’m exaggerating, I don’t know.
Chris is good, but nothing beats Jeremy, Captain Slow, and Hammond.
@@caribbeangtr8077 yep they have charm that probably will never been replicated
I'm not sure about the rest of cast. A sportsman has nothing to do with cars was casted as one of hosts 🤪 I'm of course talking about Ashes-winning England cricketer Flintoff. He's not even a race car driver.
@@caribbeangtr8077 The trio arent journalists per se at least anymore, they function more as automotive themed comedians. Chris Harris, he is well truly the king of automotive journalism. He could make a Prius review interesting without any gimmicks, or any additives.
@@jameslee9314 To each his own, the trio are absolutely entertaining and their technical content was good too. Now, I have a high level of respect for Chris and the knowledge he imparts, but just less entertaining, but by no means boring. I'm an automotive tuner, so I appreciate everything that Chris says. Cheers.
I almost cried when out of all those cars, he chose the e38. What a legend
I would go for the E28 Alpina B7 Turbo, but man, he did not go wrong.
I never was a BMW person, but Chris' reaction and wonderment is just lovely to watch
Yes, always fun to see a bushman in awe of the White Man's miracles.
I've never met the man, but I consider Chris my friend.
I was lucky I actually met him a year and something ago in Porsche Zuffenhausen. He was just returning a 911R back at the factory. It was insane, meeting him and also seeing that special Porsche.
I met the guy last year during the filming of Top Gear, we were chatting about 80’s cars then. Such a nice guy.
No supercar garage on earth can match this ! The most amazing cars in one place. My dreams in one place. The alpinas, e60, 850, S classes, E classes, the Rolls Royces, LOOK AT THEM, JUST LOOK AT ALL OF THEM !!!
Yes, just look, that's what it will be all about) In 50-100 years, few people alive knows how to drive a petrol car, or to maintain them :(
Rimrock300 you’ll have us car guys growing up now saving a few petrol cars for later when we want to fix them for our kids
Sometimes, after a particularly rough day at work or when I’m struggling, I come back to this vid and wallow in the infectious joy of Harris. He’s literally the kid in the candy store and it’s great to watch, although I am very jealous
When he pick the alpine 7 to drive, i screamed YES!!!
Thumbs
Dude *Alpina
My fav too! and its only £25,000
B007 HELLL YEAH !!!! Car is GORGEOUS!!
Me too! I had a chance to buy one once in Bahrain.
That Merc wagon Is terribly gorgeous
Yes, and I really want one of those because growing up my family car was a 240TD estate. Same body but hardly the same condition. To have that AMG wagon edition would be a dream.
TheVeryteddy Big Agree.
@@2ears1mouth786 you can look for a volvo with the T5 to console you, less expensive but good
It is beautiful isn't it
@Gappie Al Kebabi thanks
This video could've been 3 hours long and I would still watch it 100 times over
What a class act, he covers his hand with his sleeve when he rests against one of those beauties. An absolute gentelman.
Ikr who wouldnt👍
2:30 protective sleeve game is strong
True enthusiast behaviour.
Respect for the cars
He's actually having a cargasm at 2:27
Noticed him do this and appreciated it.
I think any real car guy would have done that and also only real car guys would have noticed that 👍🏼😁
Now ther is a man who is actually worthy of hosting top gear
its cooler if the host is jeremy james and richard hammond
Who jezza we all know Chris is a dick bring back clarkson
@random panda on the internet so true, if they let Chris do like his own show, kind of like Clarkson's motorworld but Harris on his own it would be great
He has arabian English accent, it's most adults thing wich I hear in my life
Agreed
A true enthusiast of fine cars...gotta love how Chris does not touch the car with his bare hands, but rather has his hand covered inside the sleeve. Need to teach that to Jay Leno..hahaha
@whybother now Jay does it to the cars of his guests as well. Every car wash, valet company, parking company, and service department should be teaching that to each employee who touches the client's car.
It's annoying to take a spotless car to valet or the service department, but then getting it back with their prints all over the damn car.
@whybother now hahaha
@@fitnessguru8012 I'm sure your 98 honda civid will be fine with a few fingerprints on it
@@BardiaSaeedi 🤣
Find myself coming back over and over to this video. The true enthusiasm is just whats up. Verbalised awe and no silly exaggerations. Wonderful video!
"I still have no idea what Renault were smoking when they did this, but I'd quite like some". haha! 10:25
I'm just sad that he missed the Audi UR Quattro beside it
@@Foxhound617 He should've run by all cars and named them all. What a collection wow!
@@Foxhound617 i bet he gushed over it. its not like chris to miss it. I think it just got cut for time.
And ignores the 400i behind him.
This is car heaven...!!! 😁🔝👌
This video perfectly illustrates why Chris Harris is so popular among car lovers and petrolheads. He's one himself. He gets excited by the same things we do. Its genuine and not for the camera.
This guy always puts a smile on my face . He exudes a childlike love for what he does and what he gets to drive. Best car guy in the media bar none. Keep on doing it !!!!
8:09 "Look at the steering wheel!!" That's some infectious enthusiasm right there, throughout in fact.
You can't fake that enthusiasm, that's why I like Chris! 100% petrolhead, one of us.
DEAR GOD this is absolutely amazing
The fact that Chris selects the e38 out of all these classics puts the e38 at the all time no.1 spot! thanks chris
Alpina E38, not a bog standard one, although there is nothing wrong with a V12 E38 750.
Alpina is one of the coolest names in the biz.
this is one of those videos you wish he spoke about each car for hours on end...
I would quite happily watch that.
You know it’s a good collection when the V12 Ferrari’s are completely ignored and don’t even worthy a mention.
Ehm.....No
Ferrari gets the spot light all the time though.
So true!!
Exactly what I'm thinking. Charlie T?
I like that no Ferrari or Lambo is mentioned because I have seen a lot of their models. Gets boring after a while obviously when it's just mainly all show and no go unlike these car in the vid.
Chris Harris is the only reason I still watch Top Gear. He is the new generation of Top Gear. When Clarkson, Hammond and May joined together, Top Gear changed with them. Now it's time for Top Gear to change again with Harris. New format for a new presenter.
every now and then i just watch this video just to get the joy of Chris's excitement for those beautiful cars
Chris may be my one of my favorite car personalities. He just shoots from the hip and it comes out Right every time. Even when it is not right.... it is.
As an e38 owner and enthusiast, I cried when I saw those alpinas...
Me too mate i drive one.But Alpina's......
I just stopped the video to read the comments when he said there were 3 of them and I found yours smh. I didn't even know they made alpines back then.
Sexiest full size sedan in the world 😍
I have a friend who has one..a 6.0L even
And I cried even more when I saw the condition they were in. It was eye-wateringly astonishing.
Doug Demuro would have a quirk attack.
Demuro would spend a whole week for each car 😂
If You accidentally drop Doug Demuro to this place, it'll takes 50 years for him to find exit...
LOL! YES he would!
Bruh I wish he would visit this place
LMAO! best comment yet
"This is all the stuffs we're going to miss, when the world becomes electric and boring"
Even as an BMW i3 owner (which is the funkiest EV out there) I agree
You are damn right! I wish i could just ride one of those cars, at least just sit in them... Lovely, beautiful pieces of machinery 👌👍
As a Tesla big fan, i agree
The reason you buy and keep your favourite classic. We have a C registered Escort Cabriolet SE that came standard with the Turbo Kit flared arches. I took the original steel wheels and wheel trims off to put some deep dish 17” RS wheels on it. It’s white with a white hood and it honestly looks like new. Also have a brand new engine that i got from ford a long long time ago. Also have a 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Quattro that is also like new in light blue. Sits on the drive under cover. Both get driven from time to time. It’s sad to think they might not be allowed on the road one day? ☹️
Tom I’m a tad jealous..love the BMW i3! Funky is right! Funky and cool! 😊👍🏻
Those BMWs are gorgeous
/// M so beautiful honestly
So it’s funny that Chris Harris is my favorite car journalist of all time and it really put a stamp on it when you pick that 750 V 12 Alpina BMW because back in the 90s that was my dream car over anything else at the time especially with a set of those 20 inch Alpina wheels. This video just made my day thank you Chris.
A little part of me died when he didn't do a close up on the quattro at 10:15
+1
+2 👍
+3!
+4
+5
It's a shame a lot of us can't be there with Chris, but I couldn't think of a better person to make us feel the excitement through the screen.
At the end he picked the BEST CAR IN THE WORLD !! look at the facelift new 7er series in comparison....WOW....E38 facelift was the Best
German Big totally agree! I recognized it instantly when he sat behind the steering wheel. The interior :D
Ive got one E38 myself here in Sweden. 4litres V8 -95
I love it.
It's Alpina, so its 10x better !
I love all the cars from video, but if i had to choose one it woud be e38 alpina for sure :)
Most people drive 12000 miles per car annually. This collection owner drives 12000 cars per mile annually.
This quite possibly the greatest video in TH-cam history.
Hard to disagree with that.
I wish it was an hour +
Ryan Hopkins Wouldn’t I have to get out less and stay home and watch TH-cam videos?
Most of my dream cars were in that room. I could spend weeks looking at that collection. Great commentary Chris Harris as usual.
I never, ever get tired of watching Chris love cars.
This is one of my favourite videos on TH-cam. I've watched it countless times.
I'm 52 years old I could never afford these babies of love but it is good to see they are still with us.
Good show Harris.
💂♀️✌🏻🇬🇧♥️👍🏻
Mesmerized by the condition of the cars!!! Absolutely the reaction and excitement expected from a real car enthusiast.... Chris going from car to car, like a kid in a candy store.
TH-cam recommendation, I loved it. The child-like enthusiasm was shared. I'm not so hell bent on the current pomp & circumstance auto design. Some is exceptional, but these were works of art.
When is the extended ‘uncut’ version of this video gonna be released?
TH-cam will never provide me anything more satisfying than that
I just noticed that i had the biggest smile ever on my face during the whole video!
You could actually feel how happy Chris was there. I envy him so hard right now, but he definitly belonged in that garage!
i just love how passionate he is, this is captivating
99.9% of the population would think that this video was sad,geeky and pathetic if they watched it......
But for those of us of a certain age, those of us who grew up and learned how to drive, really drive, using manual gearboxes, heel & toe-ing to rev match, no traction control except for our right foot, perhaps using a little bit of LFB and trail braking on the way in to a corner to tuck the nose in and unstick the rear slightly, from an age before Gastos and SPECs and ANPR and a 50mph limit for most of the M1.
For those of us who grew up charging around on our Raleigh Grifters and BMX's making car noises in our heads, pretending to be Gilles Villeneuve or Henri Toivonen and played for hours on our Scalextric.
For those of us who search for 1980's / early 1990's F1 / Le Mans / Touring Car / Rallying vids on TH-cam.
For those of us who do indepth research into what tyres to buy for the wifes little run around instead of buying purely on price.
For those of us who wouldn't look twice at the latest blinged up Ferrari Fandango FXXX-X-Rst- GTS Evo, but would practically wet ourselves with excitement at the sight of something like a Tickford Capri.
For those of us who whilst trudging around the local Tescos on a Friday night, glide our shopping trolleys into a glorious arc of power oversteer out of the right-hand harpin between the chilled aisle and the bread area, marvelling at clipping the apex just perfectly by the Dolmeo special offers display.
For those of us like that, this video is pure nirvana.
Thanks you Chris. You are one of us.
Frazer Guest Absolutely spot on. 👍🏻
Frazer Guest Absolutely!!!!
Wow hahahah
I feel like theres a shortage of journalists out there that appreciate cars of this era. This video really hit a spot deep in my heart. Its been a while since I have been so pumped up by a car video. wow.
I'm a gen Z, most of these cars are older than me yet I love these manual cars, these cars had something special that like Chris says we will never get in Electric cars
When I'm feeling down , I just watch this video.
Same here. It's like therapy
When Chris said "why not get a tent in here and stay" I felt that 🤩
As a 50th Anniversary owner, I'm really happy to see his enthusiasm for the Z. That's the first time one has ever been shown on video by an automotive publication. One of the most underrated cars of the 80's in my (most certainly biased) opinion. I hope Chris gets the chance to experience one in the future, and thanks for making my day!
As a huge BMW fan and owner of a E36 cabriolet, E91 and a 850. This is bonkers. I would love to visit this place, I would probably pass out. And look at those E38s!!! We've had 4 different E38s in our family, I basically grew up with that car. One of my absolute favorite cars ever! Jesus.
80's-90's was the absolute golden age of cars. the auto industry hit their peak IMO
I think you’re right. They are totally usable and fast enough today, kinda safe and still loads of brand / character. Buy a new BMW today, one thing you won’t get is Bavarian character and taking a stand for good design. As they once did.
Depends on what brand of the 80s, as you can see in the video a lot of the 80s cars got way to advance electronics that never lasted. Id agree about the 90s though
Everything except American cars
i actually come back here every once in a while. Really appreciate the video.
Cars to die for great video - I'm in my late 50's these were the go to cars back in the day.
Please More content like this!!!!! The old Chris Harris is back! Its so hard to choose a favorite. That 5.7 e31 alpina and the r129 amg wow, wow, wow. The w123 amg I never knew existed. Some seriously cool mercs in this collection as well.
This is the greatest car collection, review and clip ever. Got to admire the enthusiasm of Chris and at the same time envy him for being so close to so many amazing classic cars that will truly forever remain GOATs. This needs its own show many of us young people want to discover forgotten classics and understand the evolution of cars before it all goes electric and Chris does it so well!
Legend says that even today you can find Chris sleeping peacefully in one of those cars, smiling happy as a baby.
Yeah he probably awoke on the auction block when the gavel came down
Something about "older" car design is SO much better than modern stuff. It's like how Blade Runner is still more stylish than most movies made nowadays.
TechMetalRules im not a cars guy but id say theyve sacrificed style for economy.
the manual e60 m5 gives me goosebump
It;s so amazing that all of these old school, super rare spec'd cars are all under one roof. Speechless.....
That was pure enjoyment. The look on Chris’s face at the fully intact BMW tool kit. I’d kill for the Renault 5 turbo 2.
I want to see a 20 minute video of each and every car in there. Wow.
Harris is turning into Harry with that beard
lol nice one. I'd love to see Harris and Harry doing another collab. I think the last time they did it was back when Harris' still in EVO magazine
No he looks like Trevor from GTA V😂
They would probably have better chemistry than the others.
real sign of a car person, covers hands w/ sweater before putting hands on car.
that and not closing the bezel-free door by the window you filthy swines out there.
I'm guilty of doing this. I try not to, but I just forgot sometimes and close it by the window #nameandshame
When he said that he's gonna pick a car he liked the most and then showed the BMW I had the biggest and best smile I had in a while. Because the BMW 7 series e38 is my absolute favorite car
BBC delivering the content here
*goes straight to autotrader to look at collapsed bolsters on E60 M5's*
And was Chris right?
but that car is amazing
I lost track of time and my life watching this...I was transported into a dream car paradox... like another dimension that wasn’t real. I hope the owner opens up the garage for tours... 😍
Every time I'm having an off day or just want a smile, as a car enthusiast, I come back here.
Just a man and his love for automotive perfection.
Chris, your enthusiasm for cars is infectious as always. Keep being the best presenter out there.
10:35 Porsche 968 in the background, totally under appreciated car
capybaras same with that audi quattro near to renault 5... no audis in movie that’s what made me sick
Drinking challenge: drink a shot of tequila every time Chris Harris says 'MINT'
You will be dead by min 2:30
Better game; take a shot when he says 'Buttons'!
or sexy
Or look at this
Chris.....please do another one of these mate, but do a full length version. We loved it. Could have watched you digging around in these beauties all day.
I love the big sports sedans and wagons. And this is a goldmine full of them, and more.
Mint
Look at this !
Absolutely mint
When he says mint .. he means it
I’m a grown man who actually gasped when he saw that Renault 5 Turbo 2. Stunning.
My Apple Watch gave me a notification for an irregular heart beat when I saw it, pure artistry on wheels.
Was my absolute dream to have a silver Renault 5 turbo as a kid. Here I am 20 odd years later driving a silver Ford S Max 😓
Dan James I had the R5 GT Turbo when I was a lad, oh the highs and lows were massive. Also now drive a smart ForTwo 😭 reality... 🙈
He says, ’He had no idea what the folks at the Renault were smoking when they were designing the R5, but he wants some of whatever that was). LOL! Count me in too.
Ha ha ha 😂 me too man, I was like....loooook at it
I usually come back to this video once in a while
04:39 I love how he pulls his sleeve over his hand, notto leave marks on the paint! :D
and then smashes every single door
@@Pato-ARG Which has zero negative effect.
being an V12 750iL E38 owner, as soon as i saw the seatbelts, wiper stalk, headrests, B pillar, and raised bolsters of the sport contour seats of the Alpina 6.0 i jumped for joy. "how many cylinders is that?" TWELVE, TWELVE! please share some of your experience driving it, footage is there but it's scarce and i've seen whatever is online.
You've got one my dream cars, take good care of it :)
redid all the gaskets, full ignition system rebuild, all new vac hoses, full suspension rebuild, and facelift. just needs dings and chips removed and it'll be perfect!
@@supra1722 Awesome!!
For car lovers, this is just simply CARgasm.
Even after 5 years, Chris is still on point with these cars.. I think he shares my view point perfectly. And I don’t think I’m the only one.
