Harry Metcalfe talks Harry's Garage, Jaguar, Monaco, James Bond's Lotus and YouTube 

I gave up on Top Gear years ago, never watched the Grand Tour. They are not about cars anymore. I have watched every Harry video, now hooked on Iain Tyrrell's RU-vid channel as well. Both have a no nonsense focus on the car with their encyclopaedic knowledge and boyish enthusiasm.

Simply a great guy,a great journalist,and a Gentleman. You're the Man,Mr Harry Metcalfe

Harry Garage is the best but what you didn’t bring up in this interview is how Harry helped bring Ian Tyrrell Classic Workshop to the RU-vid channel, he has a huge following and he owes it all to Harry 😊

Harry and I are the same age and I look forward to a new Harry's Garage video every week and thanks to Harry I am a huge fan of Iain Tyrrell and Tyrrells Classic Workshop. Brillliant stuff!

Harry's Garage... Understated, Enthusiastic, Honest, British. 🇬🇧 💗 😊

Glad I found this channel … we love Harry I have learned about farming as well as cars he makes one feel as if one is visiting or riding aside him…

It was watching Harry’s videos that persuaded me that there was no reason that I couldn’t drive to the south of France or the Italian Alps .It seemed a bit daunting at first but I e enjoyed every drive and seen places I would never have seen 👍🏻

I just love watching “Harry’s Garage” because of his honesty. I even started getting interested in british agroculture! 🤔

I like Harry’s simple style, his plain approach to filming, editing, and his adventures. Loved the Roller to the artic circle.

Love Harry's Garage. He has great taste in cars and natural presenting style. Big thanks to Harry and Mrs Metcalf on the camera.

I love how shy Harry gets, every time a famous friend is mentioned, warching his show. Such a likeable guy.

As ever with Harry,unassuming,good knowledge and always good to watch, keep it up Harry.

22 minutes in. I can confirm Jay Leno's obsession. He was discussing a 5 valve engine in some 2017 car and he pipes up ' obviously Yamaha did it first with their exup 1000 engine back in '96. My old bike, hero

Great interview... What a legend! Thank You both gentlemen!

Love Harry's approach to testing cars - insisting on having it for a week. I reviewed my own car for a video and it took me ages to film because it is hard to know what to say. However, I took it to another reviewer who got in, within 5 minutes of driving started recording and probably drove for another 15minutes whilst he filmed his talk before we stopped and I drove for his B-roll. The result was that whilst his was edited much better, it lacked any substance atall beyond a few facts I had mentioned (as he didn't really ask me anything about the car either). I know it's a tough gig to do YT full time, but I think Harry shows that in the long run quality trumps quantity and far better to put out one video a week, or even less often, which has been done properly. Great interview btw, subbed to your channel!

We’re huge fans of Harrys garage. Great fella with great knowledge. All the best ✌🏻

Harry is top, always a joy to watch!!!

I think I discovered Harry when he drove his Pagani Zonda & the Mille Miglia in his Ferrari 550 Barchetta. Constantly ignoring that he was the crazy guy who drove to Sahara with his Testarossa, which didn’t bother me in my RU-vid suggestions. Until I watched it

Very interesting video, Alex. Love Harry’s Garage

Talking of Bond's Lotus, the "Burglar protected" signage was first spotted in "For your eyes only" when the camera crew were filming in Cyprus and that famous car chase in "The Spy Who Loved Me" have taken place in Sardinia when the Esprit nose-dived into the sea and transformed into a submarine.

Good on you for exposing Harry for what he does...it is simply the best, in my opinion, Car content RU-vid content out there.

Hi Alex, just discovered your channel, I watched the Iain Tyrell and Harry Metcalfe videos.......absolutely fantastic! I'm blown away! Can't wait to see some music related stuff!

Well, well, a brilliant new channel. With the perfect name. And Harry! I'm really going to enjoy looking through the archive too. The growth of this channel in 2021/22 is going to be huge. Not a prediction, an inevitability. I'm rather chuffed I'm an early (relatively) adopter. Fantastic stuff.

Great interview. Harry's Garage is a superb channel.

Alex you’re very good at interviewing excellent video really got a lot out of Harry

always worthwhile to listen to Harry's view on different cars and of course Ian Tyrrell. thanks for this interview !

TWO thumbs up for HARRY

Harry should do a trip to northern Sweden in a classic Saab 900/99 Turbo

Harrys garage, very best on RU-vid.

He has the best channel and Ian Tyrell has the second if not joint best but Harry started first, and is the gold standard.

This was great .. great questions.. love Harry

GLORIOUS vid and a good interview, I very much enjoy Harry's channels.

Love Harry s garage and farm....

And its Harry that bought me to you.. And those algorithms.. Subscribed 👍 Keep a log of your data while this video goes mental and you bag a few thousand subscribers 😉👍 Good luck. Jamie

I'm a new subscriber. I Very Much Enjoyed your interview with Harry. Look forward to watching your back catalogue of videos. Thank you, for a great channel.

Harry's Garage is definitely the best auto journalist out there in video. He's passionate and inspiring but he also has an air of genuine varmth and love around him, he creates a feeling like you not only know the guy in private but he's your best pal and he'll love to buy you a beer and talk about cars. Clarkson and the old Top Gear crowd simply lacks that warmth and compassion, their schtick of bullying and pissing contests and toxic masculinity is quite tiresome, so much in fact I'm done with that lot. Give me people like Harry or Chris Harris or Davide Cironi every day of the week. I think that's one of the main reason Harry's Garage works so well, because he's so inclusive. It feels like sharing and you're in on the joke he's sharing, not the one being laughed about like it is with Clarkson.

Love Harry He's the real deal.....

Harry just brilliant to watch 👍🚗

Just stumbled on your channel. Fabulous.

Harry is honest, sincere, interesting and plain watchable!

Harry is very, very good! I would say is one of the best.

Great interview!

We love Harry’s garage

The only car reviewer thats worth watching!

Really enjoyed this 👍

That mullet is like a bottle of fine wine 👌🏻

Brilliant!

Didn't know you had a RU-vid channel I'm number 593 subscriber, I stumbled across it by accident

I have no idea what it is but Harry's definitely got it!

When I grow up I want to be Harry Metcalfe (I’m nearly 53!)🚒👍

James Bond Esprit changing colour was For Your Eyes Only (not Spy Who Loved Me ... swimming Esprit) but otherwise perfect podcast!

Spent the extra 7 grand getting ready for the cold weather driving but not the heating for the wife ha ha 😂

Goes to prove, doesn’t matter what you look like, in this game , you can look untidy, like a farmer’s scarecrow, and still be successful, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

Bernie has his own podcast, nice

The best.

Harry's Garage even has a spin-off- "Tyrells"

Another touring stunt? How about some more red-hot Jag action? I'm thinking of that luscious XJC V12 Harry's restoring. If he gets togged up as John Steed, I'll put on my Emma Peel outfit (or Purdey, if you prefer) and we can break the bank at Monte Carlo. Yeah, baby...

Do Monaco in the XJC V12!!!!

The James Bond Harry is referring to is actually For Your Eyes Only not The Spy Who Loved Me.

i would love to be Harrys camera man :o)

Harry rules.

Subscriber n. 605!

The seller of the XJ-S does mention Harry.....

Harry is ace

Harry.......The Auto Don.......

"LSD IP" the Jag plate lol.

He love the sound of his own voice" someone dub him out. Carry on Harry

Wander if clarkson wouldn’t let drivetribe review the Alfa as Mike was like “I’m driving clarksons Alfa” whereas Harry was like “a frandom farmers Alfa”. Harry’s a great bloke, love the videos he puts out.

I think you guys are confusing 'The Spy Who Loved Me' with 'For Your Eyes Only', boys. 😆😬

Enjoyable upload but as Alan Partridge would say, Stop Getting Bond Wrong!!

Proper Preppa

Hands up: who got to the end of the video and then went straight onto Car & Classic to look for a yellow XJ-S?

Harry's Farm has a car channel?

Yep! We Brits HATE in video ads. Totally spoils watching it, and yes it is because of growing up watching the BBC. I don't mind ads before and after the video, but not inside. I feel I am being used then. RU-vid (to start with anyway) was not set up for the professional program maker to make money, but the everyday person sharing their video. Before and after maybe annoying, but RU-vid has to make money to host the videos. And I have no problem video makers having some of that, but in video ads, a BIG turn off.

Where is James May?

Mr.Just

Your mixing your James Bond Films up lol

Sorry who is Alex Dyke…OMG too many nerds!!!

Harry must be thinking he will get to review the T50.

I think we all know who is the doughnut here. I lasted 6 minutes.

Why are you shouting?

He has the best channel and Ian Tyrell has the second if not joint best but Harry started first, and is the gold standard.
