A wonderfully quirky Car Cave private garage tour

- The Quirky Car Collector's Dream Garage. It's a new Late Brake Show Car Cave episode! This garage full of four wheeled (and two) treasures attracted Jonny because firstly it was quirky quality over quantity; when was the last time you saw a Jordan Civic next to a Lambo Espada and a Maserati Indy? And a Fiat 126P next to a 1980s Prelude 4WS, next to an Audi RS4 outside?
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

another amazing video Jonny, from your garage / barn find discoveries to these amazing insights into peoples private collections, your content and enthusiasm for everything really is endearing , what a lovely guy and a very interesting collection of vehicles to see and understand, Steve seems like such a nice guy. your love and enthusiasm drives this channel and your ability to allow us entry into collections which would otherwise, have never been seen will always keep me coming back, great work
Thanks for your lovely words
Jonny & his team work so hard, lovely people
Hi Johnny, was watching this episode and I'm 99.9 % sure that's my dads old Espada. Had the exact same phone and sold it with engine issues. He bought it off an Arab prince in 1988. I believe it was originally Green and the prince had it re painted (Rolls Royce colour I think). My dad let me and my brother drive it, we were 17 and 18 at the time, very lucky boys lol.. I've sent the link to this episode to my dad.
Under-rated comment! Thanks for the back story.
That would be amazing if it was your dad's former car.
I'm sure Stephen and Emma would love to get more of the history of the Espada.
@@bluetitan20 my dad has watched the episode and confirmed it is his old car. I have contacted the owner and he confirmed the Espada was originally Green, which also verified it’s my dads old car.
I love that you said the dog was on the wrong side on the left hand drive car. I’m in the US and drive a right hand drive car. Everyone says to me “your on the wrong side”. And I say nope I’m actually on the right side.
Thanks 👍
The times I’ve gone to the wrong side to drive 😂
I’m very surprised this Chanel hasn’t been snapped up by some mainstream TV station. It puts the new top gear to shame.
I can't remember the last time I was so engaged in a channel on UA-cam.. wonderful quality and consistency love these keep them coming 💗🙏🏼
You are most kind Oliver. Welcome aboard TLBS
@@TheLateBrakeShow love it thank you so much
Great feedback, thank you 🙏
The man's got two golden retrievers, of course he's a great guy!
Lovely
Thank you
I like people who like animals 🤩
I love that he sits in the passenger seat of the Fiat so it looks like he's driving 😂 😂
...plus some Dachshund photos on the wall....which confirms your statement.
Amazing to see my old Fiat 126. I was wondering where it ended up! I bought the orange 126 from a Polish guy called Jan in Berkshire after he brought it to England, I then took it to Kent and I got it registered with the DVLA and was using it as my daily around Tunbridge Wells. I can’t remember who I sold it to, but it used to run like a Swiss watch. Amazing little car. I’ve had several since. Amazing to see it again, keep up the good work!
Aaah, well, rest assured, Jaffa is in very good hands now! We did message you to say so when we we purchased as we were most impressed with your comprehensive car history files. Out of all of our cars he definitely gets the most attention and deservedly so, quite unique! Thanks for your message, good to know the loves never died 😂❤️
Lovely of you to comment 👍
I will review it in the future
Keep an eye on my channel 👍
Ah amazing to hear. Glad your enjoying it. Do you have the original black polish plates with the car? I can’t remember if I kept them or if they went with the car.
No don’t have the plates
Fantastic service history with the car & thank you for keeping in such good order 🙏
I thought the plates went with the car, but I’ll double check. It was such a long time ago. If by some miracle I have them, I’ll try and get them to you.
My cheeks hurt from the silly grin I can't get off my face, wonderful ;).
That’s great thanks😂🙏
That was brilliant, what a nice humble bloke, with a great smorgasbord of cars and bikes. Hoping he gets the Prelude back on the road, maybe a trip back is due when he gets it roadworthy again.
Thanks as always Jonny for another great episode...🎩
Thanks for your lovely comments, got prelude on the the ramp & it’s not looking good unfortunately 🥲
@@parrysgarage7735 I think the Prelude is my favourite car in the collection, when I was a kid I was obsessed with them, such a sleek design and the 4WS was very clever. What a shame that underneath looks bad, I hope there is something you can do to save it, especially with the strong connection you have to it being your Mother's car. I have a friend who has just restored his own 4WS Prelude similar to this one.
@@parrysgarage7735 love the name. A play on Harry's garage 😁 really cool cars you have. Keep up the great work.
For me I wanted a 1972 Maserati Bora back in the day, still never got one and probably never will but I still think they are a beautiful car.
Us Parrys love our motors - nice to see Babs - the picture of the Parry-Thomas record car on the wall in this lovely Welsh garage 👍
Thank you Mr Parry 😜👍
Lovely cars. That RS4 is just the best. Mums are great. Mine at the age of 60, PX'd her Rover 220 GTI for a brand new EP3 Type R Civic. Not quite what the Honda dealer was thinking she needed for a car. She owned it for many years.
Great story 👍 hope she thrashed it 😜
this is the best type of garage, the ones that touches the heart. I think that's all about the stories and nostalgic feelings, and not about the fact it is a machine. Amazing!
Jeez Jonny. You do find them....love this guy (Steve's) openness, and the fact that he doesn't aim to turn them into trailer queens.
Brilliant
Thanks very much 👍
I have got a trailer but only to buy the non runners 😂😳
A car collection that really means something to the owner, not an investment or a curiosity but a brilliant connection. The on dash telephone in the Espada is a real period novelty.
Thanks for your kind comments
I think I will be harder to get the phone to work than do the engine rebuild 😂
But I’ll try 😳
I have a similar driveway minus a 911 and RS4 . I do have a dog and a blue clio though lying on it most days lol
A dog on drive way is all you need 👍😂
Studying the bill of sale for the Maserati, Steve’s Dad traded a Range Rover and a Jensen FF + 2 grand for the Maserati in 1971. About the same time my folks bought a 4 bedroom house in Cheshire for 6 grand. Nice to be brought up with those kinds of machines. The Apple don’t fall far from the tree.
A good bit of fun… its like building your garage in the original Gran Tourismo. Thanks for the look.
Brilliant 👍
I must watch that film again 👌
Steve looks to be a lovely guy...with a passion... Good guys do win sometimes.....
Lovely thing say
Thanks 🙏
Joey’s TT win on the SP1 was something special! ❤️ beating DJ on the all conquering R1 at the time! Joey is and will always be the King of the mountain! 👑
This is exactly the kind of eclectic mixture of old chod I would buy if I had the money. Some V8s, some 4-pots, some exotics and some totally eccentric oddballs.
Absolutely brilliant, what a lucky couple to share cars as a hobby.
Steve-o appears to be such a laid back guy with a child like sparkle in his eyes for the toys that he possesses and wants. What a wonderful collection of vehicles and stories. Fantastic content once again.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
The best episode by far, honest, humble and an amazing car collection, hats off to Steve and Emma for this array of emotion and thrills.
Thanks
Lovely comments 🙏
Jonny "which bikes turn you on" 😂😂 great video
Johnny is like a John Peel of the car would. Even the owners of these cars are interesting people. My Mrs would have me on a beef hook in a cow shed lol.Well to be fair I got an xr2 she was into it. Your mum sounds cool. My mum had an evo 2. Loved being left to school. Never got picked up though. So the girls in the convent school never got to see lol
The John Peel comparison maybe isn’t all that complimentary. (See Wikipedia).
Thanks for lovely reply
Mum in an Evo 2
Now that’s a fast Mum🤩
Some serious classic metal right there👌🏼....
Cheers 👍
As an EP3 Type R owner, I am intrigued by the Jordan Civic.
Great, thanks 👍
What a fabulous collection. Steve, you have a great taste in cars and you buy for all the right reasons. Cars are all about emotions and should be nothing to do with money. I’d rather watch videos on a collection like this than see a UA-camr’s garage full of emotionless hypercars any day. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the nice words
Yes I agree 👍
I know the feeling. I have 16cars from 1973 to 2010. French, German, Swedish, English, American and Italian.
:)
Brilliant
I think Jonny should visit you next 👍
19:53 Prelude Gang! Love them. Had a 96 import with the fake sequential from like 2017-2019 and I loved it
I saw that Fiat at a pub last year. Obviously I took a photo of it along side my 156 😄
That’s where Emma works, she strategically parks in same position….not unlike the Great Escape….only not quite as great as when in the RS4 😂
LOVE that he has the Jordan in the garage and the porsche on the drive, proper car guy that 👌
Thanks 👍😂
Such a wonderful eclectic mix of cars and bikes.
70's Italian supercars and GT cars have a style like nothing else.
The Jordan Civic is interesting, I actually have a Sparco jacket which Is a replica of Damon Hills Jordan F1 racing overalls.
Love the Fiat 126 as well. My Aunti had an air cooled 126 and later the water cooled 126BIS hatchback.
The little MK2 Clio 172 Cup caught my eye. When I had my second MK2 Clio which was a Y reg phase 2 I was invited to a dealership for the Megane 2 and Clio 172 Cup launch. I ended up with the Mégane but I did have a guy I was giving advanced driver training who owned a Clio 182 in this shade of blue. I think the MK2 RS Clio represents the last real hot hatch bargain at the moment.
Thanks for your interest & views on the cars 🙏👌
This guy is really cool twice over. He's got a great taste in cars (and fiancées apparently!), but I really respect how many of his cars have a direct family connection as well. He's not just out hunting collector bait. He looks for cars that matter to him personally.
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Dear Mr Parry,
Your 60 year old mum was an absolute legend for daily driving a Jordan.
Can imagine she was a character you surely miss!!
Thanks for comment
She did drive a bit fast for a 60 year old 😂
@@parrysgarage7735 sub'd to your channel, hope to see her prelude get restored on it 🤞🏻
I must be getting old 60 seems doesn't seem like like much of an age really. 70+ is time to slow down a little.
Johnny and Phil, currently on 183 views, possibly 50 of them from us! What a superb film, thank you both so much!
Thanks Emma. Vid goes public at 5pm
@@TheLateBrakeShow How exciting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Emma, lovely to meet you both and glad you enjoyed the episode
@@philvfilms Loved it, every minute, could do all over again....perhaps we will buy some more cars so we can!😂
Don’t need any encouragement & she’s put it in writing 🏍🏎🚖😂
Lovely chap 👍👍
Brilliant J!!!🚗👍🏼🚗👍🏼
Cheers 👍
I was a salesman at Street lane Honda in Leeds when the Jordan Vti was launched. It was an amazing spec car seeing it sitting in the showroom.
Brilliant
About 22 years ago now 😳
And Fiat 126p at the front. Amazing collection.
Thanks
We love the Fiat ❤️
Seen the Jordan at the start and thought, this
guys cool! Then the 172 Cup is sat there, I like this guy :o)
Thanks for your nice words 😁
Not gonna lie civic jordon on the thumbnail was all I needed. I'm such a child😂
I think I underestimated the allure of the waspy Civic.
I think we all are underneath 😂
Cheers 👍
Depending how big the field is, a cheap metal detector and an afternoon for Steve ,Emma and the dogs, might source a spare key for a 911 with an interesting back story 👍
Thanks for tip
But previous owner tried that to no avail 😖
What an amazing experience for him having Petrolhead parents. Sounds like his Dad had a heavy right foot. Great garage & video. Atb.
Lovely, thanks
Yes I’m afraid he did 😖
Would have a lot of points if he was still here 😂
There's something so Thunderbirds about the interior of that Espada
Yes 😜thanks 🙏
Yes as someone else said it perfectly, what a great smorgasbord of cars ! That bloke is the quintessential car enthusiast choosing cars that suit him and his partner. Who wouldn't propose to a bird that loves driving a manual V8 wagon 👍😁🤣😍
Thanks for the nice words
And she doesn’t thrash it until its warm 😍
@@parrysgarage7735 OMG, I'd say Marry That Woman but you already are ! She has taste in cars and she has mechanical sympathy, did you find this lady or did you create her in a laboratory :)
😂😂😂
Would love to see shakey take out the GPZ. Lovely guy and happy he shared his collection
Many thanks 👍
Yes me too👻
Great guy with excellent taste. Espada and Indy! wow!.
Nice words
Thanks 🙏
Best tour so far by far! the owner really made it awesome a true gent.
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
absolutely addicted to these series of videos, hopefully one day i can show you around my garage & my collection of cars
Fantastic to see the Prelude, you don't see them these days. I have two of them, it's great to see one featured on the channel. Keep up the good work Johnny😍
Nice one Mr Parry, especially the part where “bikes are dusty from being in the house” 🙄🤔🙈😂....Emma!
It all looks great. Enjoyed the video. I'm in North Wales as well and just wonder at these hidden gems.
Great, thanks 👍
My wife had a 1978 Fiat 126 when we first met. I thought it was terrible at the time, noisy, flat out at sixty, poor brakes, stiff steering, but it served its purpose. Sold it in the mid 1980's for very little money. Wish we still had it.
Yes
It’s still like that now 😖
But fun now 😂
Thanks for commenting
I thought that was a quirky addition to the stats boxes that came up with each car...
The 0-62mph time for the Polski Fiat was quoted as "A long time"...!!
I also noted the reg plate on the 911 as being LJ04 LJK - nothing was mentioned but, I wondered if it happened to be in 'homage' to legendary Car Magazine journalist LJK Setright...? 🤔
We’ve never tried the 0-60😳😀
Don’t think so looking at the 911 History 🧐
Thanks 👍
Brilliant collection
Cheers 👍
Love that Prelude, my Mum had five of them , great cars.
Jonny Smiths UA-cam videos are the only ones I watch as he’s totally on my wavelength every time!!!!!! Keep up the good work 👍
Welcome aboard Nick. You can stay!
Happy 400k!
Wow 😳😳 That EK Civic is pristine. Never heard of a Jordan Edition before.
Thanks for your comments 🙏
I really enjoy Jonnys videos. He lets the guest talk and genuinely seems interested in their cars and story…my favourite reviewer by far 👍👏
Yes Jonny made it relaxing 🙏
Such a lovely guy. Brilliant!
Thanks
Nice words 🙏
Kept that a bit quiet from me, Stephen! Haha! Your cars wouldn't be out of place in the place we just visited. Please, please, please bring one of those back to Thistle Dhu Cottage in the summer. Love the Maserati.
try my best Peter😜
Very jealous! That's a very fancy man cave with some really cool cars, especially the Maserati in the lambo. You can just imagine hairy chest and the smell of brute. Really like the Honda civic and he's got to save that prelude.
Thanks for your comments
Will try 😀
@@parrysgarage7735 If you're struggling for parts in Europe there's a guy called Honda Jason in the USA that might be able to get any parts that are difficult. Looking forward to the Maserati drive and all your other cars. Hopefully one day. I'm glad you didn't go for a modern lambo/audi And went for the escort instead. Sorry not escort 😂👊
Brut 33 and a dusting of Hai Karate talc. 😄
some of these are beyond me but the taste of the selection has me salivating
This is what we want
More salivating 😜
Thanks 👍
Another quality video! That Prelude needs to go back on the road. Steve has an amazing taste in cars and dogs, also love the Kawasaki 750 Turbo. Keep up the great work, big fan here Jonny.
Thanks 🙏
Prelude is worse than I thought 😖
@@parrysgarage7735 Would love to see a video of that Prelude getting restored one day.
When I was a kid and a younger man it was all about supercars, flash cars and sports bike. Now I'm older the car I'd have out of that bunch is the Polska Fiat 126.
I've got a Civic Jordan no 128, but mine is running 550bhp. Legendary B series 👌🏻
Amazing mix of cars there. Might as well pop that fiat down the road to ECC for a conversion 😉⚡🔋
Thanks 👍
Good idea 🤔 but may treat it to a big bore kit
I learnt to drive & passed my test in a Civic Jordan. As a 17 year old it felt like a supercar compared to Micra's everyone else was in. Good times.
Wow I love that 👍
@@parrysgarage7735 It was owned by a guy called Paul Allan in the Watford area. Really nice guy. With so few of them there's a tiny chance your car is the one. Pre camera phones sadly so i have no pics but just seeing your car brought back a very happy time of my life. Thank you for sharing your collection with us.
Ours is No 364
Thanks for your interest & it’s a pleasure 👍
What a couple of legends
I like this chap… modest, with a beautifully eclectic collection of cars and bikes!!!👌
Very kind, thanks 👍
This is my type of collection,Jonny. A little bit of everything.
Great, thanks 👍
What a great collection and one that is used as it should be!
Thanks for the tour👍
Cheers for watching 👊🏽
Super, thanks
When I get them all going!
They are getting used 👍
Best one yet for me. Thanks for sharing and will look out for you Stephen on our fab local roads 🤛😎👍
What a class collection, seems like a really sound couple too
Lovely 👍
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Steve and Emma for sharing!
Pleasure
Thanks
Jonny, the MST could be whole new episode of build and testing etc. Just an idea mate.....
I agree 👍😀
Could be a while tho, 12 month waiting list 😩
Such a fantastic collection of cars. I really wish I had a fella with an interest in cars. I had to start up my own Mini Owners Club so as to mix with others who love cars as much as me. I've been a petrol head all of my life and just wish for someone to talk motors with.
I had a 1974 Bitter CD when I was in Germany in the 1980's and I always thought it reminded me of the Espada.
Yes I recall the car 👍
I agree they do have similar features 🤔
Always loved 2+ 2 's Espada, Indy, Interceptor, Iso, Bristol, Facel Vega, etc.....
If Mr Parry was 6 in 1971 he's the same age as me, sadly our family car was a Mk1 Escort 1.3 XL, still thought my dad was cool as it had a tiny leather trimmed steering wheel and a rev counter.
IIRC Parry is one of the most common North Wales & Liverpool names. Steve seems like a sound bloke who knows his stuff
Thanks for your lovely comments
We must be 57😜
It’s not about the car
It’s about the memory
Your dad’s Escort is just as important 👍
@@parrysgarage7735 You are spot on 57, I guess your not that far from me, as I live just off the Wirral.
You are so right that the memories mean so much, in 1977 I went with my father to the Pyrenees in his Marina TC (don't laugh) where we spent 2 months mapping geological fault lines. some of my best memories as a child. I've obviously not done quite as well as you though I do have a Porsche and a Jaguar + I'm trialling a sort of retirement.
Once again you have a fantastic & interesting collection of cars and bikes. And that wonderful view 👍
What a nice story, wow in a Marina TC 👍 my mate had one & fast in its day, Jag & a Porsche good mix👌hope you go for the retirement as life’s too short not to 😀
@@parrysgarage7735 Steve your so right life is too short. Both parents and my wife have passed away.
So I'm going to enjoy myself while I can.
Off soon for a road trip back for a week or so and off on another, catching up with friends from the past 😀
I dunno....this was just such a great one...it might be my favourite yet!!! Neat guy (sorry that might be a kiwi expression...) with such a variety of vehicles. And...yeah...bloody fabulous.
Thanks for your lovely comments 🙏
Excellent as ever Jonny - one of very few "must see" UA-cam channels I subscribe too - love it....
PS Congratulations on 400K Subscribers!
Thanks 👍
Love your bike reviews 👌
Great stories, great episode, thanks Steve (&Jonny) the dog in the car made me lol.
Lovely
Thank you 😂
Brilliant. The best collections are interesting random choices. Some people become very fixated on one make. My favourite has to be the 126. Had one many years ago along with an integrale 8v, very different cars, strangely the 126 got way more attention.
Thanks for your interest 👍 yes I’m surprised how much attention the 126 gets 😀
I love watching your episodes. Always great cars and people
You’ll have to get back once that MST Escort arrives 👌
He’s coming!
You are aren’t Jonny??
Lovely thanks 👍
That's a Manta GTE seat from a late Exclusive not Astra GTE.
Same design, but the piping was red on the Manta GTE Exclusive and White on the mk1 Astra GTE.
tis amazing what you remember when your inner geek is prompted hah.
Wow, this is the trivia I love from my people. Thank you for correcting me. I live in your shadows, sir. ✊🏽
Manta GTE seat, even better 😜
Thanks for pointing that out, you know your stuff 👍
I was sitting in it today polishing some pitted chrome 👍
love it, the garage owners always look a little stiff at the start but open up, brilliant. Cheers for the Vid
Thanks 👍
Great episode and a great collector, very humble and not braggy like some.
Also great that he's just down the road. Hopefully see some of his cars around at some point, especially the new one when he gets it 🤤
Thanks very much 🙏
Yes hope so👍
Yet again top content Jonny !!
Cheers 😜
That Jordan Civic is outrageous. I'm an old Honda nut from the States and I don't remember that model at all.
Brilliant car. If it existed in a US spec, it would be worth a fortune now.
Many thanks from the US👍
Brilliant choice mst
Definitely one of the best car caves on your show , this channel gets better and better
Lovely, thank you 🙏
Such a great collection of cars! Civic Jordan brought back some memories!
Thanks 👍
I love that Maserati, but I got a bit of a tear in my eye seeing that his father traded his Jensen Intercepter FF towards it. 🥺
Yeah, bit of a tearjerker, that.
Thanks,
Especially when you see what the FFs are making now 😳
Wow, Millington sequential Mk1, talk about go big or go home. That thing will be epic.
Won't it just...
Great video thanks. This is how a collection should be, for all the right (emotional) reasons rather than a full on Willy Wave. My late Aunt had the same Prelude brand new aged 50! (Replaced her 528i) If I could I'd have loved to do the same with my families historic cars.
Superb, thanks
Prelude going to take some saving 😖
Shame we can’t keep everything we love ☺️
What a great mix of a car collection!
Thanks 👍
19/7 22 Get the Prelude inside before the weather changes - have an Aerodeck 2L Exi ALB Auto from same era -1988. White Hondas from that time seem to succumb to tin worm earlier than the 3 other colours available then. Mitsubushi during that period also had a 4W Steer model too. Later there were similar shaped Del Sol Civic cousins in red, & another in Torquoise, name escapes me, limited editions available too. Used to see 80's Hondas when ambling around Europe in pre Covid times, so parts may be available out there somewhere. Come to think of it saw many in US & Canada too. Owner's Clubs could help too. Careful what you wish for !
