Is this the UK’s Weirdest Car Collection?

As a car collector who hoards and saves weird and interesting cars in much the same way that delightful old ladies rescue and re-home cats, Paul Cowland is often asked the very simple question; ‘Why?’ And it’s a good one. Just what is it that prevents some classic car enthusiasts from saying ‘no, thank you,’ when offered another tempting driveway filler - and how does one explain the magic of multiple motors getting us all hot under the collar? After all, when you peel and boil it, one decent classic car is all any of us really needs, right?

    What a lovely honest video, with two very honest people. Looking at the various Japanese cars, that have that sort of, wedge shape, I couldn't help but think of one particular car out there, that so few people will have ever seen, or know anything about, but which would sit very well in Paul's collection, and that car is a Subaru SVX. You just need to find one now !
