😭 why did it have to end, could watch this forever!!!!

When Harry says he is not going to cover a section it is a bit like when a woman says it's time to leave when out shopping. He starts moving along but then spots something too good to walk by haha.

"There's all sorts of sights here." Harry, you rapscallion.

Thank you Harry, I live in Italy and I always wondered what Villa d'Este is all about. Thank you for sharing this experience!

Love your videos, Harry. Always appreciate how inclusive you are with your audience - a rare treat these days :)

Blimey. At 1.12 in, there is an old Suzuki Stinger (red & black tank, upswept chrome exhausts). I bought one new in 1972 and owned until it until 1978. Lovely little bike. Took me two work during the week and on trips to the Cotswolds, Peak District and Devon at weekends. I wish I had kept it.

Harry your work is nothing short of sublime. Please never stop.

Love Harry's enthusiasm to show us cars that people like me have never seen or heard of. What a great guy, not pretentious perfect delivery and my new favourite channel.

Super video Harry, thanks for taking us along and sharing the experience.. Some lovely cars / examples..

Thank you for providing this oppurtunity to view this event Harry! I appreciate your channel!

Harry, as always showing the younger you tubers how to do it!

Absolutely incredible, in-depth and engaging journalism! It seems like all of the youtubers have attended this event, yet only Harry managed to produce something really good.

Such a class event. Look at how people are dressed. So much better than the show of at supercar events.

I think it's by invitation only IIRC - though the Elbe auction nearby may be by just buying a catalogue. Either way there are plenty of hotels (and a huge campsite) along that road by the lake so you could arrive early and watch all the cars arrive the day before. There's dedication :-)

great work Harry. what an incredible location. your videos of the shows are always very entertaining and educational for those of us who cannot go to such events, so thanks for bringing us such videos.

Thank you for sharing the show and your knowledge, Harry! This is certainly a special show that only a few eyes would have otherwise seen. Much respect.

Another great video Harry. You do such a great job of taking us to events and on drives that I'm unlikely to be in a position do myself (apart from those on your local roads - I'm not far away!). Keep it up!

i love how Harry takes you with him and doesnt make you feel jelous

Interesting thing about the Tatra 87. Predecessor model 77 (1934-1938) was the first serial produced aerodynamically design car. The improved model 77A has a coefficient of aerodynamic drag just 0.212.(Toyota Prius has 0,24)

Thanks for this, always enjoy watching them!

i live vicariously through Harry

Sounding and looking good Harry. THANK YOU for the great video.

Really enjoyed this,saw other videos of this event, your oldschool knowledge is really impressive so many people have no idea what they are looking at!!

Thank you Harry, very interesting collection of cars available to our sight and knowledge because of you! Excellent!

Visited last year, amazing show with an unbelievable backdrop. Hard to say if I was more in awe of the setting or the cars!

Exquisite location. Art Deco is alive and well, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Harry, you allowed me access to a world I covert but can never attain.

Thanks a lot for this fantastic video Harry. Really enjoyed it!

Thanks for the tour Harry!

Thank you for this Harry. Fabulous as usual. Always look forward to your videos.

HARRY, AWESOME, What a wonderful car show, Thank you

Beautiful cars. The RR at the end was a masterpiece. It made me smile when the rear window came up, it looked like a little hearse for beloved pets. Could be a nice little earner.

4 years to ruin a Phantom Coupe. The guys pretending to be coach builders of old are clearly not on the RR team but marketing is for the 10+ million price. For genuine coach building today, look to Touring Superleggera Milano.

a pleasure to watch. Thanks!

I imagine Harry's designing a bespoke "Roller" in his imagination! Hoorah for Harry!

Thank you for this great coverage of such a nice event.

That Maserati 300S was absolutely beautiful. There were a lot of gorgeous cars there but the 300S takes the biscuit in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing this with us. Great content as always Harry! The RR-Bags in the Sweptail's trunk indeed look like Hermès.

I hope next year I will be at the event in person, but meanwhile I can still enjoy through your video! Thanks Harry!

Great vid Harry - most interesting one I've seen of Villa D'este👍

Very entertaining and informative Harry. Huge thanks :)

Thanks for bringing your camera and giving us a look.

thankyou for the walk around Harry,I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

Well done for your restraint and discretion in not commenting one way or another on the styling of the Rolls Royce Sweptail.

Some truly beautiful cars & bikes there Harry, i'd love to attend an event like that. And those Riva's are amazing, one of my favourite boats. Look forward to the next video.

A really great video, Harry.

I've seen that Maserati very recently and it's beautiful to look at up close.

Awesome vid as always Harry, thanks!

I am here for Harry. I could hear this gentleman talk about an old ford focus or reviewing an electric econobox.

Thank you, Harry. The best youtuber in the business. No 'cheat-sheets' with Mr Metcalfe... he just knows his stuff.

Great video, thank you for sharing that special event.

Nice one Harry. Great show. Love those mico cars, would liked to have heard that 2litre fiat V8 start up.

Great vid Harry, funnily enough I saw the RR Sweptail parked up next to a restaurant on South Audley street in Mayfair the other night, had a gaggle of people around it, shame about the front end!! the rest of it looks beautiful though ;-)

Very enjoyable and amusing. Thanks.

Now I've sorta been to Villa d'Este. thanks Harry.

Great videos as always, we saw some great cars at The City Concours in London a few weeks ago.

Doggie at 4:07 sniffing on the Osca MT4's wheel 😂 He totally would've gone for it had the owner not pull the leash.

Great video, thanks Harry.

Nice to watch this again...that Sweptail hasn't grown on me over the years.

This video takes the great unwashed to a place we've never seen. Thanks, Harry, for sharing info on low production cars that don't get any screen time.

Thank you so much for this Harry. I honestly think Villa d'Este is a mandatory event for every enthusiast, at least once in life. and there are many people who might never get there, but your coverage is the next best thing. I've seen a few videos covering this year's event but your's is by far the best (the RSR, the Maserati tourers, the OSCA, just incredible.) cheers mate!

Do we know if its possible to buy tickets?

@erichakanson7010

7 жыл бұрын

paredding it is possible to buy tickets and although I haven't been there in over 15 yrs I do remember the price being quite reasonable. honestly I think we paid more for parking than for entrance tickets. everything else there is very expensive ( I sat down at the little hotel bar and got charged $12 for a Coca Cola) but if you have the means I highly recommend it. even if you have to do it on a shoestring budget. you will without doubt see things you've never seen before and won't ever see again. and like most RM auctions, I assume viewing the cars for sale is free. which is nice because everything around Lake Como is expensive (hotels, restaurants​, shopping etc) but if you do your homework you can find places to stay outside of the area and the travel in just for the day.

Thanks Eric - I did some research afterwards and found the tickets site for the Friday which is open to the public. I have registered my interest. The tickets are a very fair price IMHO :-) For anyone in the UK interested, there is also the Ferrari 70th event coming up in September at Silverstone for a very reasonable £16 - the Ferrari F1 client cars will be there and when I went in 2014 IIRC it was superb

paredding great. I think the villa d'este concours is must do event for any enthusiast. but so is some of the Silverstone and Goodwood events. if you made those three along with Pebble Beach and Amelia Island in America, you'd have quite a full life with some unforgettable experiences.

Totally agree - have been to several Goodwood FoS, and was in SFR in 2011 and visited Carmel and Laguna Seca but not during the events sadly. Amelia and pebble Beach are on my list to return, just needs careful planning but I am inspired by what I see on Chasing Classic Cars TV programme. So many events, so little time!

Thanks so much Harry. Almost as good as being there!

Very interesting and very informative really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Looking very sharp Harry.

It costs 10m and 4 years to change the front, the roof, the back, and the interior a bit ??? Yikes.

Great job Harry ... love your videos

Excellent harry carry on the good work grazie Mille ciao

How did you manage to get a shirt in the same pattern as that first car's interior so quickly?

Thanks Harry, another great video full of information and that special element you give. I wonder what the design concept was for the RR.

Harry, you are the best !

Great video Harry!

Great vid as usual harry

Great insider content, thanks for this!

what an amazing place and equally amazing cars! it's a different world

Great video as usual, THANKS Harry always like the work you do. That RR would be just peachy for Liberachi....lol Top stuff

I didn't want this to end!

250swb is so stunning. Never get tired of looking at them.

Great video, Harry.

Great job! Cheers Dan

Thank you Harry... you are an absolute gentleman 👌🎩👍

I really enjoyed this coverage, as good as being there, almost

The most expensive production car when I was a kid was about £100,000. Now you can pay £10,000,000+. That's 1000 times more. There hasn't been that rate of increase in interest rates, so it suggests that the rich have got disproportionately richer (to put it mildly) in the meantime. Whereas the average wage, adjusted for interest etc, is less than it was back then. Good-oh.

Very nice cars and very nice environment. About a year ago I visited Louwman Museum in The Hague, also worth checking out if in proximity.

Excellent video, as usual, thanks!!!!

Oh my, that 8 series concept is beautiful, quite unlike whatever it is that is being sold today.

Harry, You look 10 years younger! I wonder if Bentley will do a £10 million alternative to this behemoth! It's unique and will probably go up in price over the next decade as it's a one-off model...!!!

A one of RR that costs apparently 12 million to develop and build and they have incandescent 5 dollar bulbs you can get at wal mart as the trunk illumination lights.

great video as usual class act.

Superb . Puts these younger “ my new daily” bloggers in the shade does Harry

Is it invitation only to go there then Harry, if so thanks for letting us have a look in.

Very interesting, and refreshingly honest!

Great channel and you sure are a likeable guy👍 Keep it up Harry

Fantastic video Harry! The front of that Rolls is so menacing! Not sure about the rear though.

Wow, the gas and brake pedal in the Sweptail are really overlooked! Just plain rubbery plastic material. Stunning video nontheless

That lime green GT4 was the best looking example I’ve ever seen. That early car is the one to have as it is substantially lighter weight. I hope you soon review the 308 Dino GT4 or her sister the Lamborghini Urraco P300. Both are Bertone and both are actually great cars to drive. Plenty of Lancia Stratos DNA in both.

Very interesting Harry Thanks

The Siata 208S is just another version of the F.I.A.T 8V (Otto Vu in italian), different carossiers and refinement specialists bought these coupes and redesigned them between 1952 and 1954/55. Production ceased in 1954, and Fiat sold only about 180 of them. There was also a sort of first cup racing series only for these car type organised for the rich and beautiful.
