I would love to watch the show, but alas I live in the USA, and it is still not available at all here. :-( Other than getting a VPN is there any way to watch on this side of the pond?
@@VirtousStoic Pretty sure James has already done the car ownership tour already, but he hasn't got that many as he lives in London and hasn't got the space. He sold his Ferrari... has a Tesla and a hydrogen car, but he drives a Fiat Punto. The other two live in the country on big estates, so they have room for big barns.
Honestly, these are the kind of videos that I love most from the GT/TG hosts. I love hearing about their collections, what they loved, and what really impacted them over their years in the industry.
I was a kid in the US in the late 1960’s. My friends mom bought a Triumph in the 1960’s. I loved how fun and sporty it was. She was a prematurely gray lady and it seemed like a midlife crisis, but, she had fun and took us for rides in it with the top down. We lived in the Northeast US and summers were not long, but it was a great car.
Honestly my favourite car there is the old peugeot. I feel everyones got a mustang or MG or something in a barn. That peugeot is the most unique thing in there!
In 1972, my mum and dad drove an MGBGT from Toronto Ontario Canada to Vancouver BC. They documented the entire journey in an amazing journal, and lots of photos. Seeing that car, makes me want to track down the original car they drove and buy it back for my dad (who is now 82!)
I once caught the train from Vancouver to Toronto. It definitely was an incredible journey with lots of photos. One day I think I might go and track down that exact train so I can buy it back for myself....
The MGBGT is a great touring car. I drove one from Florida to Vermont for someone who had bought it there but didn't have the time to drive it back himself. Very comfortable with lots of luggage room. As it was verrry used, we had lots of trouble (tires, muffler, voltage regulator), but we had a terrific time in a wonderful sports car.
Yes I'd imagine as brilliant as his Co part's are they would no doubt be unbearable in real life. Where as Richard would probably just pick his nose too much or other equally minor unpleasentrys.
Hammond definitely seems the most down to earth and friendly of the three. May would be fine if you happen to be into the niche topic he’s interested in but otherwise seems a bit preachy. Clarkson has a bit of a grumpy side.
I want to also say that I often see MG enthusiasts running their cars down Highway 95 in Nevada. I see other groups once in a while, but the MG crowd have regular 5-10 driver convoys tearing up the Mid-West desert highways... Very very cool little cars. Unbelievably cool.
We met when you were recording TG in the Isle of Man about twenty years ago. Two bikes you we're enthusiastic about then were the GSXR and the Sportster (which you thought was a bit of a bargain at the time). Glad you've not lost a drop of your enthusiasm. :-)
I can't believe you have a Peugeot 504 pickup!! I'm not sure about its standing the world over, but here in Kenya 🇰🇪 it's simply legendary! Can't wait to see your plans for it 😄✌️
I absolutely love seeing these "behind-the-curtain" exposés of things we may not have seen on Top Gear or Grand Tour, but also some things we have seen and are pleasantly reminded of the laughs, smiles and fun from those long ago episodes 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Thank you Richard, you and your other two "idiot" mates are my heros 🙂🫶🏻
My dad used to own one in yellow. I remember when I was younger before he sold it I used to just sit in the garage and stare at it for hours. Now I'm 18 and I'm trying to buy one
My brother had one, formerly owned by Neil Peart the drummer from Rush, he commuted on it into Toronto, it was, ahem, not the most comfortable thing, I had no idea how exotic or desireable that bike was at the time.
Coming from classic car background to JDM and back again, I absolutely love the MG B GT. We've always had MGs in the family and they are honestly one of the best handling little cars. My dad had and MG A and then a very special MG B from the Paris motor show. He later sold this and went on to own 2 MG C's that he restored over a 10 year period. After selling the last one in 2020 I'm feeling the itch to get a B myself.
A big part of why I love the 3 of you, but esp you Hammond, is how you talk about cars.. you have a way of making them come alive, sort of like having an out of body experience where you feel yourself in the wind, in the moment.. I will always love cars, and hope to own one someday, because of you. Thank you.
The cars are amazing. The collection astounding, but the presentation style - is simply put - superb. Nobody does it better. Interesting, whimsical, informative and exceptionally entertaining. Mr. Hammond is unparalleled. He displays all of the qualities of a May presentation without the not-too-subtly hidden curled lip. Capturing the authoritative, take it to the bank factuality of a Clarke pontification without the pontificating. Please do this forever, Mr. May.
Honestly, Richard Hammond and Chris Harris are my two favorite car journalists \ presenters. Their energy is the same. Pure passion for motoring, old and new, with the ability to convey it to the audience. I would love to see Harris and Hammond do something together
As common as the MGB GT is, I own 2, it still manages to bring a smile to people's faces when they see it, the one that actually works anyway. It's quite loud, not very efficient and not all that quick but it's so much fun to throw around a corner feeling like you're doing 100 when you're actually doing 40
It was great to meet Richard Hammond on his tour of South Africa when he stayed at my family’s Lodge. Very Pleasant. He was interested in my father’s vehicles as well 👍
Still a nice collection, despite being down a few vehicles... Love your business plan around taking the MG racing, handing out business cards after accidents, etc... That's a solid idea.
The GSXR deserves its own 'cocoon'. I owned a 91 model 1100, the 1127cc oil cooled models were brilliant, slightly more polished than the earlier slab/plank side models and super reliable. Mine had over 100,000kms on it when I sold it. It was and always will be my favourite motorcycle.
the 390GT is one of my all time favourite cars. it always has been. I remember in the original top gear episode it was blue but that minted green colour just looks absolutely gorgeous
Never thought of that, however - Richard Hammond is the most interesting, the most skillled and the most auto-enthusiastic of The Three I’ve just felt his love towards cars, that they use, and this always was really pleasant to watch
I really love all the members from the original Top Gear, the holy trinitiy of Top Gear Hammond, May & Clarkson. But I have to admit Hammond was & still is my favorite guy in the series, maybe because we have the similar taste in cars & bikes. Grew up watching the show... Much love from Croatia & keep up the awesome work!
The "boat tail", for about 40 years I have always wanted to take one and cut 14 to 18" out of the hood/ front end length. I think this would make the car look more like the "Pony" car i think it was meant to be. Just a thought. Thanks for the tour!!
It's nice to see so many comments on the iconic MGBGT, showing that classic cars needn't cost mega-bucks. If you are going to go historical racing Richard, Goodwood etc, paint it in British Racing Green......it'll look amazing!
I'm from across the pond. Would be nice if we could watch Richard Hammonds Workshop! I'm surprised us US viewers aren't able to watch it, even at a cost. That so, it makes me want to add that task to my dream trip of renting a mini cooper with a 6 speed manual and circumnavigate Great Britain.
It feels like Jezza loves cars mainly for the thrill of driving. May loves the engineering and quirks. Hammond is more of the romantic who builds relationships with his cars, and every car means something to him, every journey is special. Out of the three he always can deliver a story about a car
@@andyjames9734 I will forever cherish the photo I have of him when he came to Truckfest, him with the big hair, leather jacket and me in the Beckham 07 shirt. Such a time capsule
You’re going to LOVE vintage racing. My friend and I have been racing his late father’s 1974 Fiat 124 Spider here in the states. We’ve been racing a 1990 Nissan 240SX since we were 16. Now we’re in our late 30’s, we’ve switched to the Fiat and we’re not looking back.
The classic restoration rule: don't start a second restoration until the first is done or the second will never get done; that rule seems to have been broken a number of times here. ;)
This is the not fashionable kind of tour that I love. Great (and very unexpected) to see the little MG back on the screen. I haven't heard of it since its appearance on TG 7 years ago
I like to see all the programs that Richard Hammond's appears. I'm sorry that Topgear has ended, but I like to see when the three presenters are together, it's a lot of laughter with them.
Love all the vehicles especially the motorcycles. Would be awesome to see y’all go over them especially the BMW has the flat twin is a legendary motorcycle that still molds BMW’s motorcycles
That Land rover series one could be reused as a Tow vehicle for the cars and the Peugeot Van could be a parts Van and for racing there perfect support vehicles and the land rover has plenty spares for the task
I love this kind of content! It's really interesting! But, I'd also love to see more about the motorcycles. Is there any way to hear Richard talk more about his motorcycles and the history and reviews? I'd be willing to mpay for that... As an owner of a Z900a, you can imagine I'm into that sort of stuff!
Love the old Buick. My grandmother had one and it's the car I recall the most as a child. Way back when kids were allowed to stand up in the passenger seat and run wild in the back.
It's interesting to hear someone so accomplished for what, 3 decades, say he can't afford a restoration. Very humanizing because I honestly thought he was richer beyond my belief. One of my favorite hosts from many of my favorite shows.
My buddy has a series 1. His is a throwback from when he used to off road rally. To this day he drives it like he stole it, it gets washed when it rains. And it still smells of poo because he crashed into a stables horse poo heap years ago, rebuilt the front end and put it back on the road.
I want to see the Riviera in the same green. I want to see it slammed down, and tuned properly with that supercharger. I want to see Hammond put that beast into a show. That monster deserves respect. It deserves to be shown to the world!
Of course you have the MGBGT!!! My favy faves of the MG's, my family owned an MG restoration garage, my mom got to drive the BGT, as a little girl I fell in love with that car. Your cars and bikes are mint!!!! LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing your garage! I'm lucky my friends keep my classic in their garage :)
Had 2 mustangs growing up a 68/69 love those cars ….one day I will get another 😊 the xk is beautiful…Richard your a diamond every car man’s dream .take care .
For the Riviera I’d say…. MORE POWER!!!!! I absolutely love your channel and have been a fan of top gear since my first car I had to fix to be able to test drive, an 84 Honda accord at the age of 15
I've got a Landrover like that. The first car when I passed my test, I still have it along with several other vehicles worth of parts. The wife said I have to finish the house first before I disappear up the workshop, never to be seen again!
Hi Richard, I like your collection, classy and humble, where I work we have a xk120 for restoring, and mkiv, mg gt, spitfires, Bentley 1935 and much more,I remember this video when I'm next to him. My dad tells me to throw to the trash all my old cars, but I love to keep it in a barn like you. Cheers!
Glad to see you kept the boat tail Riv! You need to do something about that hideous paint color and the blower doesn't belong sticking out of the hood of a classy car like a Riv.
It'll be a great day to see The Smallest Cog on the grid of the Goodwood Revival. But lets just hope Richard stays off the track! The MG race last year was fantastic. Had me browsing classifieds mid-way through the race.
Watch the second series of Richard Hammond's Workshop here: bit.ly/Richard-Hammond-YT-H2
I can't watch it when it's not available outside the UK and no will say when it will be.
I would love to watch the show, but alas I live in the USA, and it is still not available at all here. :-( Other than getting a VPN is there any way to watch on this side of the pond?
Does Hammond still have oliver???
@@MCD10000 yes, he does.
@@VirtousStoic Pretty sure James has already done the car ownership tour already, but he hasn't got that many as he lives in London and hasn't got the space. He sold his Ferrari... has a Tesla and a hydrogen car, but he drives a Fiat Punto. The other two live in the country on big estates, so they have room for big barns.
I like how it's not just a dusty old barn, but a barn with an insulated roof en extra pressurised tents to keep everything in top shape!
Cue James saying "Now, as you would expect, I've done it properly..."
Insulated for spud storage.
Yet still the Mustang is covered in dust ;)
It helps keep them under the radar.
Where can i get this tents?
You can see when Richard eyes light up when he talks about his passion. It's nice to see that genuine side of him.
Honestly, these are the kind of videos that I love most from the GT/TG hosts. I love hearing about their collections, what they loved, and what really impacted them over their years in the industry.
I feel like I’ve been living under a rock just found this gem today 🎉
Me. This. But I haven't been.
You feel like you've been living under a rock because you didn't see a youtube video of Richard Hammond's car barn?
To quote every car guy ever " I have big plans for that someday."
I feel personally attacked
True story! 😂
"Yus mate, it's a retirement project." 🙄
"I have big plans for you"

You won't race the MG at Goodwood revival not old enough
@@adamwort7160 you're right, I won't race the MG... I don't have it

Honestly my favourite car there is the old peugeot. I feel everyones got a mustang or MG or something in a barn. That peugeot is the most unique thing in there!
I was VERY surprised to see that Peugeot. I have one too that needs restoration. They're getting rarer and rarer in the UK.
I like them too I spent a bit of time in North/West Africa, every second car was a Peugeot, I believe there are still a lot around

"As much as I hate to admit it, Hammond's car collection is really quite nice."
-James May (probably)
Impossible not to hear his voice when reading that sentence 😅
Nah James is a modernist who hates things with a soul
@@EresirThe1st Complete opposite of what he once was. Have to have balance I suppose, can't have three of the same.

Very comfortable with lots of luggage room. As it was verrry used, we had lots of trouble (tires, muffler, voltage regulator), but we had a terrific time in a wonderful sports car.
Voltage regulator? You were unlucky. A 15 minute job to replace.
Hammond is that kind of guy that everyone would like to have as a friend :)
Yes I'd imagine as brilliant as his Co part's are they would no doubt be unbearable in real life. Where as Richard would probably just pick his nose too much or other equally minor unpleasentrys.
If I had to choose one of the 3 wise men it would be May, Clarkson, Hammond in that order. Always found Hammond slightly iritating.
@@filtonkingswood you must be very grumpy lol
@@r2d23kk Send me your address, I’ll come and see you and we can have a little talk..

Looks fully restored to me.
Its it funny that im sure there are worse states of land rovers out there.
@@aumkar2 That's the normal state of a Land Rover, surprisingly it was an old one instead of a brand spankling new one
Well its two Landrover's technically.
Yeah the progress he's made on it is unbelievable. Will be finished in a matter of days I bet 🤣🤣🤣

The Ducati is my fave in there. Still looks immensely fast stood still. Beautiful design. The MG also on my bucket list. Perfection!
Fantastic machine. Sound gorgeous too. ❤
there's just something about a single sided swing arm that gives me the fizz!

Love a garage tour from people you actually care about

the 390GT is one of my all time favourite cars. it always has been. I remember in the original top gear episode it was blue but that minted green colour just looks absolutely gorgeous
Thank you Mr. Hammond, for a look into 'the barn'. Seriously semi-speechless, but what I can mutter is woooooow. Cheers from California
Im so excited for the future with the projects Hammond has got coming its gonna be amazing
Hammond. His passion. Enthusiasm. Great collection. Great barn. Would like to see a lot more please.
The Peugeot truck woke me up. I hope to see more of it in the future!
Never thought of that, however - Richard Hammond is the most interesting, the most skillled and the most auto-enthusiastic of The Three
I’ve just felt his love towards cars, that they use, and this always was really pleasant to watch
“The last car I ever drove on top gear” Gosh that hit me a bit
I feel you...
used to hate the short guy but finding out he owns a 504, gained massive respect now
I could watch Richard Hammond all day long, as he is a charming and very entertaining English Gentleman🤗
I really love all the members from the original Top Gear, the holy trinitiy of Top Gear Hammond, May & Clarkson. But I have to admit Hammond was & still is my favorite guy in the series, maybe because we have the similar taste in cars & bikes. Grew up watching the show...
Much love from Croatia & keep up the awesome work!
I just want to see Oliver again. I fell in love with that little car while watching that episode. I really hope you still have it.
“I have a plan for it”, - the most uttered phrase in this video. Watch this space. Love the MG - so iconic in the U.K.
If I had access to that, I'd build a small flat inside and just live in the barn with the cars like Maverick with his airplane hangar.
I love how he is talking about cars and motorcycles. A video of all his bikes would be nice!
Hammond's fave quote, "I've got plans for it"..........😂😂😂😂
The "boat tail", for about 40 years I have always wanted to take one and cut 14 to 18" out of the hood/ front end length. I think this would make the car look more like the "Pony" car i think it was meant to be. Just a thought. Thanks for the tour!!
Love how it isnt full of the newest and the most expensive as you would see in so many of these collection videos.

If you are going to go historical racing Richard, Goodwood etc, paint it in British Racing Green......it'll look amazing!
A real car and bike guy. Not just a rich tv show host
My parents bumped into him in Cheltenham a couple of days ago and they couldn’t believe how nice he was. He’s an all round nice guy. 🤙
A 1967 MGB GT (right hand drive UK import) was my 2nd car as a teenager! Wonderful vehicle. I miss it desperately.
Anytime Richard talks I listen, he is such a humble person and arfter watching Richard for almost my entire life I feel like I have evolved with him
I would use the Landrover series 1 bonnet/fenders/front there to make a sofa out of it. :) 5:49
That little 883 sportster would make a great little chopper base to start with. And it would be awesome to see more bike content on here

I think he keeps him in the garage at the house. He showed us Oliver in the last series. This looks like a storage barn somewhere else.

Hello from France 🇨🇵, what a collection, I have at least the same GSXR as him 🤭, happy English to have had a show like Top Gear 👍

It hurt seeing the 911 gone. That, and a BMW 2002, are my dream cars.
Be well, and have fun.
"It's awful, but I love it" is pretty much how I feel about all of my favorite vehicles lol
It's interesting to hear someone so accomplished for what, 3 decades, say he can't afford a restoration. Very humanizing because I honestly thought he was richer beyond my belief. One of my favorite hosts from many of my favorite shows.
Mr No Name. He can well afford it. Just not a priority at the moment methinks.
Well he has a family and an expensive hobby to keep up 😊
Where’s Oliver 😢
That's too special to be stored in a barn. I think it might be at his home
Great collection
I think that's a '73 BGT. The '72 (which I own) has the fish mouth grill with thin stainless trim around it.
what richard should do is restore the series 1 himself as a sort of "how hard can it be" series
My buddy has a series 1.
His is a throwback from when he used to off road rally.
To this day he drives it like he stole it, it gets washed when it rains.
And it still smells of poo because he crashed into a stables horse poo heap years ago, rebuilt the front end and put it back on the road.
It could be done as a spin-off to the Smallest Cog show once that runs its course.
I want to see the Riviera in the same green. I want to see it slammed down, and tuned properly with that supercharger. I want to see Hammond put that beast into a show. That monster deserves respect. It deserves to be shown to the world!
Im sorry but what happened to Oliver?
He’s at Haynes Motor Museum
Of course you have the MGBGT!!!

It was actually restored and made into a race car back in April of this year. I’m guessing this was filmed way before that.
I love Richard's passion for classics I would love to sit down at a pub and have a few pints and talk cars
WHERE'S OLIVER!?
For the Riviera I’d say…. MORE POWER!!!!!
I absolutely love your channel and have been a fan of top gear since my first car I had to fix to be able to test drive, an 84 Honda accord at the age of 15
I'm not normally a North American car OR a classic car guy, but I do love that Buick Riviera!
He has great taste, I am very picky on car designs but his collection is made out of pure gems 💎 well done
Love that care you have taken with coocooning them all, brilliant!
I've got a Landrover like that. The first car when I passed my test, I still have it along with several other vehicles worth of parts. The wife said I have to finish the house first before I disappear up the workshop, never to be seen again!
Hi Richard, I like your collection, classy and humble, where I work we have a xk120 for restoring, and mkiv, mg gt, spitfires, Bentley 1935 and much more,I remember this video when I'm next to him. My dad tells me to throw to the trash all my old cars, but I love to keep it in a barn like you. Cheers!
Those bikes! Please do an episode just on bikes, what a beautiful collection.
Half expected to see Oliver on a plinth. :)
Glad to see you kept the boat tail Riv! You need to do something about that hideous paint color and the blower doesn't belong sticking out of the hood of a classy car like a Riv.
the Buick !!!!
It appears to still have the mud and dust on it from that episode. That alone makes it priceless
When he said “id rather drive this barn” and it cuts to a slow pan of the roof showing off the barn… I spat my tea out. Brilliant
It'll be a great day to see The Smallest Cog on the grid of the Goodwood Revival. But lets just hope Richard stays off the track! The MG race last year was fantastic. Had me browsing classifieds mid-way through the race.
I had a teal blue MGB GT and had to check the reg in Richards car as my heart skipped a beat. Mine will have been scrapped now
