a whole bunch of cars in here that I knew nothing about it just shows you how many different cars there are and people's different tastes because I really don't think I would buy any of those in the collection if I even have the money

Of all the cathedral of private car collection films, this is one of the finest. A really modest nice chap, who’s clearly done well in life, but not in the slightest way arrogant or smug. And a beautiful collection in an amazing ‘shed’❤

Michael should have his own KZread channel! He is so natural as a presenter and I can listen to him talking about his cars for hours.

I totally agree with you on that! Very knowledgeable and good to listen to also! 👍

This is easily my favourite of these so far. So much character, such a British centric eye and the fact his only reach into the Ferrari world is a 550 is the cherry on the cake. Fantastic.

What a life this chap has. Worked hard made some strong money and now he can pick and choose what makes him happy out of the worlds classifieds.

I don't even know where to begin! What a collection. Congratulations to Michael on amassing such a lovely collection, and thanks for allowing us to get a glimpse of the gems!

Michael is such natural in front of camera, can he have his own segments? Cracking cave as always Jonny

Best car cave ever!! The owner is so wonderful to hear and so humble about his amazing collection! Thank you for showing us such fantastic stories!

Michael is a great collector and a fine story teller. He is keeping fine vehicles in proper storage.

Your best episode yet! I applaud this chap for his wonderful and eclectic car collection. He is a natural orator of his own car history, I could have listened to you both for hours! Too often us British folk get a bit jealous of other people’s possessions, especially great cars. This chap deserves all his wonderful automobilia. The unrestored cars are as interesting as the ‘baubles’ in his vast collection. What I would give for the Shooting brake Jag…

Jaguar were mental not to have produced the shooting brake. Great looking car. Changed the ugly duckling xjs into a beautiful swan.

One of those rare videos that makes you, somehow, feel better about the world. What a nice guy and what a brilliant and very personal collection he’s put together - long may it continue

I've lost count of the LBS video's I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed, but this is the first one, when I first saw the contents of this Barn, I went fkin hell! what a eclectic collection of wonderful cars. You knocked it out the park, or should I say Barn with this one Jonny. 👍 Many thanks to the owner Michael for letting us all see his wonderful collection, any DB5 will always steal my heart. 😍 Thanks Jonny as always, if it wasn't for you and your reputation and KZread channel, we would never get to see these wonderful collections. 👍

Probably my favourite car cave yet. More collection content please!

Glad to hear it. It's been well overdue, this one.

Wow. When you see a registration and you think you know it . After looking though my photos on my phone. The metro gti at the end of the video used to come to the garage where I worked. Lovely old bloke used to bring it to the garage. I have a photo in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 of it being on the ramp.

What a really nice guy. Polite, well spoken, no airs or graces about him. Full of great stories. Jonny, I’m sure you had a great day spent with him.

Great episode Jonny. What a cracking collection of cars and huge thank you to Michael allowing you a peek into his motoring world. What a down to earth, genuine man Michael is. Really enjoyed that episode. The back stories were amazing. Nice one Jonny.

Michael being true to his car life history. Proper reasons to collect the cars, with flash back moments by just seeing them and sitting in them. Like many of us, we purchased vehicles many years ago for the right reasons in the moment. The lucky few have been able to hold onto the cars and when necessary store them rather than sell them for resurrection when family, career and life releases us to. My barn is smaller, my passion similar. Great to see and thanks for sharing guys.

Some years ago, when my son was about four, we went to Castle Combe and watched some classic Jags race. For some reason, that I can’t explain, I found myself moved to tears. There was a noble dignity about their continued racing that I found quite profound.

This chap is a true classic enthusiast in every sense of the word. An Aston Martin DB5 and quite happy to have a Montego or a Metro in the same collection. And everything cared for and cherished. Nothing left outside to rot. He deserves everything he has worked for. Jonny, possibly your best show to date. Much appreciated.

Oh my goodness, how has he kept this a secret. The collection is outstanding and one, if I may presume, is something similar to what I would do, growing up and seeing cars & the industry evolve. He has enough cars with pertinent history to open as a museum. I would certainly pay to view these cars. Thanks to Michael for allowing you in. That italian Jag blew me away as well as many others. I could go on, but I want to watch again, so a million thanks!!

It doesn't get more pure car lover than this wonderful, humble, gentlemen having all of these stunning cars sitting in his barns and he tools around in a beater Mazda pick up as a daily. What a channel. I grew up in Singapore surrounded by Brits (but am a frog/yank with two passports) currently residing in Miami. I am always jealous when I see all of these gorgeous British/Euro classics (second only to Harry's auction tours). I would love to roll around in a Mark Two Jag. Much respect, Mr. Smith.

A true, unadulterated enthusiast. Thank you to Michael for allowing us into his sanctum of automotive wonder. There are some true unicorns in this collection, I'm in awe!

An amazing collection of cars. You know it's a superb collection, when Jonny is lost as to what one of them is, being that 1 of 2 "Italian Jag's" 😮. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making this video and to Michael for showing his collection. Such a humble chap. 👍

Eclectic and fabulous! Thanks Jonny, Phil, and of course Michael.

What a fantastic character Michael is. I was blown over by his charisma and storytelling. Great episode

What an incredible collection! There isn't a car I wouldn't also have bought, given the opportunity (and the seemingly deep pockets).

Terrific collection - a quick correction though - the baddies in the Sweeney always drove S types never Mk2s.

If there is one thing better than a brilliantly eclectic collection of cars, it's a collection of cars, each with its own great story.

Strange little connection to my part of the world. One of the very first XJSs ever sold was to an entrepreneur in Inverness. It was silver, because 1977 was silver jubilee year. ST 1 was the Saint’s Reg number, an Inverness plate owned by a local family, and rented to the tv company. I’m being careful not to mention names.

You HAVE to go back!!! Can't believe you found the 1-of-one Tarchini 420!!! Maybe not the best looking Jag ever, but wow! I have a 420-compact here in the US of A. Less than one thousand made it here. Great collection - great show!

Truly eclectic collection. Just when you think "Ok, hang on, there's a pattern there", a 1960s Ford pickup truck pops up, and we learnt that the daiky driver is a Mazda pickup. Beautiful. Restrained, modest chap, too.

That has to be the best ever of car caves yet , absolutely brilliant

Absolutely Brilliant collection ! Thank you Michael letting us see inside your showrooms. 🙏

WOW, what a collection. I've learned so much about British cars from you on this channel. Even though I visited GB and IRE in 1986, 1987 and 1991, it even brings back some great memories. Thanks!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this channel!

Great episode. I'm a local Hampshire resident and regular cyclist through some of the places Michael mentioned. Great to see there is such a fantastic collection nearby.

Fabulous Car Cave episode and a thoroughly lovely chap. So many hobbies and interests come from your first real hero, your Grandad. Absolutely love the Jaguar racing history, the Return of the Saint style XJ-S, the AE82, and the 2-door Range Rover to name just a few.

What a great vid, thanks Jonny, incredible collection and storage area! The loveliest guy too, could listen all day to Michael and I think the first one to talk to camera! Stunning aston👌👍

Love this collection the Gordon Keeble is the one car that stood out for me but the Range Rover and jags would all have a place in my heart as well . The lesser classic in the collection stand out as well as it marks this guy as a car guy and not just a collector. Nice collection thanks for showing it .

These are the type of collections I adore. Every car has a personal history and story with so much passion for every one of them. Congratulations to that man! You should have asked him what he plans to buy when the DB5 is sold (California sage green is one of my favourite all-time colours... Stunning). It just reminds me what a car collection 'should' be. It has a soul. Not a 'KZread' collection of fashionable cars on finance, rotated and flipped when the views start to drop...

One of my favorite barn tours, thank you Michael for sharing this with us!

Absolutly overwhelmed by the number and varied makes / models of cars in the collection of sheds !!! So pleased to see them all looked after, or being (gradually) restored. Wht a wonderful tour of Michael's personal collection. Best wishes from Lincolnshire

Top car collection and top bloke as well.. how fabulous to have a car collection that mirrors your car history and dreams so many memories!

Brilliant episode Jonny and a huge thank you to Michael for sharing his cars. What a lovely man!!

All the stories behind the cars make this collection special. Thanks again Jonny!

This has to be one of the best and diverse collections to date doesn't it. Wow made me smile to think of all the odd balls there rubbing shoulders with some of the rarest. Brilliant and thanks for showing the collection Jonny and Michael.

Top-notch!!! and as usual a lovely and genuine bloke. Totally disappointed he did not mention that lovely collection of original Raleigh Choppers he has in his collection. btw that is the only thing out of his collection I could actually afford to buy 👌👌👌👌

What a lovely, affable and modest man Michael is. I absolutely loved his collection with all of its special cars, quite ordinary ones and a few quirky ones. When someone like Michael announces quite candidly that he has an Aston Martin DB5 for sale, I regret not working harder in life. I would absolutely love that car.

Wow! Quite a lot in common here. I've owned a jag, my grandfather was a Daimler man. I work for Aston Martin, I've owned a corolla GTi. I have a dinky toy collection of jaguar cars. The first car I did 100mph in was a montego vdp 2.0i and I am the same vintage as Johnny smith😂. What a time to be alive. Oh and the first car I went to help change tyres for at a club rally was a MK1 escort. Great work and thankyou for letting us look at your brilliant collection.

What a magical collection a man that really knows his cars no BS just a fantastic collection thank you for a wonderful look around Sir.

Great episode once again 😊 These really should be on mainstream TV. So entertaining! 😊

What a fascinating chap. One of the best car collections I have seen. I loved how each car had a story. Thanks for sharing

Michael is a legend with his collection. I could spend days in there just talking to the guy & enjoy his cars. Another great video Jonny. It'd be great to see Tiff & Jason in a video driving these cars.

This collection is exactly my speed! I already have a Frogeye Sprite and a Volvo 240 and one of my top 5 dream cars is a DB5! Love a 60's Mustang too, and a 635, and an original Range, and an original V8 Vantage, and a Scirocco, and an old Ford F Series, and 60's/70's Jags! I love an eclectic mix of cars and if I ever do this well for myself my collection will look very similar!

Absolutely fabulous episode , would have loved it to have been longer , what a collection.

This has been my favourite episode of the late break show this year. It’s absolutely amazing to see such a collection. And a delightful chap also

Staggering collection and mentally noted he would be willing to part with 3, the DB5, one of the Jags he had in duplicate and one of the Mustangs. Liked hearing what his attractions were for buying a vehicle. Also as a learning point now know about the Gordon-Keeble.

@aleccrombie7923

Almost all his cars are replaceable. Try finding a good Gordon Keeble?

Finally... a garage I don't feel frustrated by. So many of these "Barn Find" video's are people that will NEVER find the tim, money, or space to do any of these projects but stubbornly refuse to part with them. And when they kick the bucket the heirs either have no interest in them or the same limitations are still in place ( Money, Time, Space, and Knowledge) so they get hauled of to the scrappers. Some people should recognize their limitations and get out while the getting is good so to speak.

People hoard all sorts of things. It's an illness for some. Do agree with you on the bucket kicking, the rellies just want cash. Personally when I fall off my perch the only thing I have is a shed full of tools collected over a lifetime, mean alot to me but the family has no interest 😢

Well done Jonny on another great video. Thanks for entertaining us all with your brilliant content!

This was a great barn walk about, great memories of the 130 abarth run one for 7 years with a 5 gear mod for longer legs, once pushed it to just shy of 150 with 4 petrol heads in it,that collection needs a Saab 95 aero hot, loved that car, my rs4 low mileage is up for sale if he’s interested all blacked out with carbon trim still has original front wavy discs, Audi service history

Absolutely incredible- love stuff like this. What a guy and what a collection

What an amazing collection, and Michael is such a car fan, I'm very impressed.

The best yet for me, thanks for sharing. What an eccentric collection. What an inspiration.

This has been one of your best car collector’s collections. Having a enthusiastic and animated owner makes the review brilliant.

Thanks Michael for letting us (well, Jonny) explore your incredible collection

That is a gentleman I could never get bored of talking about his cars. What a an amazing collection and such interesting cars!!!

A great episode once again. Not only did the owner have some very unique cars, but he knew about them inside out. Amazing that these cars have found their way to his stewardship - they appear to be in safe hands!

Brilliant mix of cars

What a great humble guy. A very lucky man to have such a collection the rest of us could only dream about.

Thank you Michael for preserving these cars and thank you Jonny for bringing this to us.

What an awesome guy Michael is. My god, this is the kind of guy who would be your best friend in a flash, even if he didn't like you. Excellent collection because of the story behind each car. These barn find car cave video's are the best.

Brilliant episode, feel like there's so much more to tell , can we have episode 2 , what a lovely man , very interesting stories

Fabulous, so many memories seeing lots of these cars, what a legend Michael is…..

What an utterly smashing chap Michael is & with a collection I can absolutely adhere too,fantastic episode Jonny & team.

What a lovely guy and fantastic collection of cars. Thanks for sharing!

A brilliant display of lovely cars.

What a nice ecclectic collection,Jonny! I can be proud to say I've owned a car similar to one of his, the AE82. It was an FX-16 here in the US with the 4AG and all the sporty parts in a little commuter. 4 wheel discs, strut brace,etc. Wow but that Tachinni though! Talk about a never for sale car! Good find again Jonny!

Enjoyed every minute of this video. What a throughly nice chap too, not to mention his glorious collection. Thanks for the upload 👍🏻

I think my favourite private collection. No car snobbery also you got to see more than one barn. The Lynx Eventer was stunning right through to the MG Metro were by a lot of us went to school in one or drove one. Great video

The Immaculate Collection. What a privilege to see a bit of it, could have been twice as long a tour and no less entertaining. As ever TLBS delivers a unique and original perspective. And what a generous host and owner for letting the cameras in.

Great Episode, great collection and a top owner. I recognise the illness and feel an affinity due to the Mk2's and early Mustang's being my own favourites.

Great episode once again. The stories behind the cars are always interesting. 👌

Great film mate, and what a lovely genuine guy Michael is. Class as always.

Another fantastic car cave collection and again such a nice guy without an ego . Thoroughly enjoyed that.

What a great guy and what a great collection. Thank you for sharing it with us . I have loved Motors all my life and I’m so happy we all get to enjoy these things together. Great show love the channel. Thank you .

Absolutely exceptional episode, great selection of interesting and diverse cars, said wow! out loud more than once!

All I can say is Beat That! What a simply amazing collection. I can't get my head around how someone could amass all these beautiful cars in their lifetime. Brilliant episode again Johnny.

I am amazed that you keep finding these diamonds Jonny, - Michael is a true gent with an amazing collection. Well done you.

Love these car cave videos. I would happily watch one 10x longer with ALLL of the details on everything

Thank you Johnny, what a truly wonderful collection and Michael, such a gentleman. Fantastic.

I'm sooo glad I finally watched this. I put it off thinking it would just be some rich bloke bragging about his cars. I should've know better. What a great bloke. Passion and nostalgia has led him to do what we'd all be doing if we had put ourselves in a position where we could afford to do it. I doth my cap!

I had a first gen VW Sirocco , brown over tan interior, that I used to absolutely beat the CRAP out of that thing. I literally peeled the front tires off its rim once from hitting that corner so hard and that car never relented. It had its little aggravations, but nothing major that would leave me stranded. It was quite literally the car that I learned what taking a car to its limits really meant. Loved that car. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

That is a lovely collection right there. Lovely the rarity factor on a few of those too. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing, what a beautiful collection :)

Brilliant! 37 and a half minutes of pure car joy. Cheers Jonny!

Phenomenal episode Jonny. Thank you so much. One of the very best. What a lovely fellow. Not surprised that he made some money when he found the right niche. People who combine charisma, knowledge and engaging humility are a very rare breed. Will be a hard act to follow this vid'!

Top bloke! What a brilliant collection! Great video again, CarPerv!

Amazing collection. Such a great episode. I think I smiled at the reveal of every single car. 😍

There genuinely hasn’t been an episode on this channel that I haven’t enjoyed, but this one was a real gem. What an interesting collection of cars and what a great guy too.
