How is Richard Hammond's classic car business doing after 2 years? 

Watch the new series of Richard Hammond's Workshop in the UK: bit.ly/Richard-Hammond-RH-FB-H8

I've been really enjoying the show and can't help but get the feeling none of this would have been possible if Clarkson hadn't punched that guy in the face.

It's not just the cars, they're absolutely fascinating in themselves, it's Neil's *sparkle* that's endearing. It was a cathartic day when Hammond first crossed paths with him.

I am glad to see The Smallest Cog is doing well as a business.

One thing about Richard is he is a real car /bike enthusiast, and the same goes for the people working there .Remember him before he got famous on the Men Motors channel must be late 90s

Neil is such an absolute LEGEND. His passion is so infectious and I love hearing him talk his craft.

Funny how Richard is the only one of the trio whose post-TG/GT business is still in cars.

'A leap of faith an' a big 'ammer'! Perfect motto for the Smallest Cog!

Why is it just so satisfying too hear a door shut like that alvis door.

Great tour; Neil's commentary was very engaging and enjoyable. Drivetribe's content as of late has been top notch. Keep up the great work.

Please make more of these workshop catch-ups with the Greenhouse family working their magic, listening to Neil explain everything in detail was great! 👍

Love this show, the sheer amount of enthusiasm and passion from the team really comes across well on the tv👍

I started watching Top Gear in 2006 in Huntington Beach, Ca USA 🇺🇸 i had broken my back in 2005 so there was a lot of bed time. Came across the show on BBC America and was in love within the first half! Thank you boys for all the content. Carry on and keep killing it weather together or your own show. We'll see you on Grand Tour!!!! YEW🤙❤ Greg⭐

As a auto body man / painter at work, I would sit and watch videos of Neil just talking about his experiences and telling stories.

Could listen to Neil all day talking about these projects… more content like this please 👍

I've been a fan of Richard ever since he first started on Top Gear and I believe he will go so far and accomplish a lot with his new workshop. It is great to be doing something that you love and that your are passionate about and to make a career of it is awesome. Him and his team are amazingly talented and passionate and will go far. 😀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fantastic to see Neil in his element, the passion for what he does really comes through. Love to see more of these catch-ups, maybe the stuff that doesn’t make the show, but is just as interesting.

Great to see that his business is paying off. Please keep this content in your regular rotation. Thanks. 🇨🇦

One of the best videos yet. Great companion to the big show. Can't wait for the next one.

How lovely is Neil. Top bloke.

If the Tercel was originally a JDM car it would have had the side mirrors mounted on the wings/fenders, not up by the side windows. I remember lots of those cars being imported into Ireland back in the '90s.

There's a whole channel needed from Neil and his team to show us mere mortals to show processes in detail - of what to aim for, how to get there - by our own hand, in our own time, within our budgets!! PLEASE

Ash, nails, brass and the finest door closing sound ever , whadda car! Proper job !

I love seeing these vids to go along with the series. For those of you that haven't watched it yet, I urge you to go check it out, it's so well done showing the ups and downs of the business as it grows, really great insights and a lot more detail than I imagine these videos can go into, as great as they are :D

It's fantastic to see them doing well, Neil seems like such a great guy, knowledgeable and interesting. All the best for 2023 😊

Niel is simply Awesome. I love listening to him and the enthusiasm for the cars simply oooses out of him.

this guy loves cars, he needs to appear more on this channel, what a cool guy

I'm so glad Hammond's shop is doing great.

i could listen to Neil talk about the details of cars for hours

I am tickled to see the shop Hammond and his Mates built doing well.

I think it is a great idea that Richard has a restoration shop. Now that he has the business up and running the big question becomes whether he can make a profit and keeping the jobs rolling through the shop. Looks like he is on the right track with a mix of resprays, mechanical and a few full restorations. Truth is it is much harder to make money of a full restoration vs. a bare metal respray.

The holes on the Tercel's wings are likely for fender mirrors, which are still a thing in Japan. It's likely that the mirrors were swapped out for door mirrors when it was imported into Sri Lanka.

This workshop is like a dream. Beyond us in cash. So nice to watch this perfecton in action.

I used to read MGB repair manuals in free reading times in high school. My homeroom teacher thought I was a bit weird. It's coming in handy watching this channel and Richard's show!

I absolutely love this programme, Neil is so funny

What a lovely man, and fabulous mechanic, thank you so much great video.

Gosh I love this update so much guys!!! A sweet old BMW, an Alvis... and an 80's Tercel wagon!!!! As a Toyota guy, this is just fantastic (I happen to own an '82 SR5 hatch project that I'm looking forward to tackling). Great update, thank you!!!! :) :) :)

Dude. This gave me a shock. After hearing Sri Lanka. I remember that tsunami like yesterday. I was studying for my A/L s. Watched the horror unfold in the TV. It was the worst natural disaster happened to sri lanka in known history. Few my relatives had a very narrow escape as well. That's and one memory I'll never forget.

I love the smallest cog. Verry nice to watch. Greatings to Richard and the whole team.

Could sit and listen to Neil talking about the cars and equipment all day. Can tell he loves what he does

Glad to hear it's an actual business, not just a set for a show.

Gotta love our Neil

Looking forward to seeing Mondeo updates!

Need more Neil Episodes! The man is a treasure!

Neil is one of those guys you can FEEL that he loves solving the problems and you wish you could get HIM looking after YOUR car - then be able to sleep sound that it was being done RIGHT.

Sweet BMW. I would love to own that Jag, once it is restored. Probably my favorite car, period. That Porsche will look amazingly beautiful once completed too. Glad to see things picking up. Great job so far guys!!!!

That Tercel is by far my favorite thing in the shop. The B GT is very cool, but that Tercel is awesome.

Interesting and beautiful cars guys, thank you!

man these videos look and sound amazing. shout outs to the production team

I remember early Japanese cars imported into the UK had chrome buttons in holes in the front wings, because local preference in Japan is to have wing mirrors, and not door mirrors. So when they fitted door mirrors to early imported cars into the UK, they just blanked off the holes in the wings.

Wow BIG jobs congrats smallest cog 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love that you guys are also doing these tours with the lads in the shop and not just slap Richard in every video about the smallest cog because it is Richard Hammond from TG. Neil is so knowledgable about cars and the restoration process it is incredible to hear him talk about it. The Workshop has become one of my favourite shows to watch, I hope we will have many more seasons of it!

The sound of the door closing on the Alvis 🥰🥰🥰

I could listen to Neil talk about cars for hours

Neil as a man who loves his work!

Mike ´s Style - just great !

Neil deserves his own Jag for Christmas Mr Hammond.

Love your work 👍

I really want the Smallest Cog to succeed. And I mean the business. Tbat would be awesome. I really have respect for Richard for doing this

I mean we Sri Lankans have sentimental value to almost anything in our possession, but that's a cool story and to see that old Japanese car getting worked on in a brilliant workshop is incredible. Love it!

I hope there is a season 3 of the smallest cog. If discovery+ doesn’t renew it, surely amazon would

Fantastic more more can't get enough

nice to see it's going well

THIS i like! just easy going, slow tv like talking with passion bout beautiful cars, history, coloring, its SO RELAXING... more please ;)

I had a Tercel in a similar colour. The poor thing had been vandalized then rebuilt just enough to pass an MOT. The 2wd 4wd selector was broken enough to be switched while moving made for fun take offs 4wd for launch then 2wd for corners. Surprised a few boy racers when an estate with no straight panels left them standing.

💕💕💕💕 Love the BMW CSI..long time since I've seen one!

A lot of Japanese domestic cars had their mirrors mounted out on the front fenders as opposed to the doors like other markets that is most likely the origin of the holes in the tops of the fenders on the Toyota

The show is brilliant, watch it

Neil's knowledge and enthusiasm for every car in the place is truly epic More of this please 👍🙂

Please make a follow up on the Toyota estate car it would be nice to see it when it’s finished

That story about the car from Sri Lanka is amazing. What an awesome car!

You need to do another update on these cars, I want to see the progress 🙂

Neil Greenhouse is just great

Need to see more of these snippets in the show !

What a brilliant guy

I would love to see an update on the Buick Riviera. That would be a superb restoration

Kudos to Neil Greenhouse for his knowledge and expertise.

That Alvis door closing...

Very Nice, I had a couple MGB GTs. They are getting rare here in the states. The Alvis is a beauty, similar to my 1939 Hotchkiss grand sport.

Rebuild Rescue has just done a special on The Vapour Blaster. Amazing bit of kit

Been waiting to this one!!!!!!

Quality 👍

Great video

Drivetribe and smallest cog Excellent stuff

More Neil please 🙏

If I were rich, Neil would be the very man to restore my 80s HotHatch - he's a friggin' genius!

Love from srilanka ❤️.... really like to see more about wagon from srilanka 😍

Enjoying the show, even got the mrs into it aswel.

i feel like you guys need to work on your timing of these videos either way behind the series or too far ahead, it's giving me whiplash ! more vids pls !

This is the kind of shop I want to work in. I work at a collision repair/body shop and I hate working on new cars. I want to bring classic cars back to their former glory

Never would Neil have imagined he'd be known around the world

Toyota Tercel estate that brings back memories I remember going with my dad when I was young lad going to Toyota dealer at worksop to pick up his new tercel in the very same colours and my nan had a blue one as well .a very rare car now

Neil...👍💙

Neil cannot stop talking lol. He seems like James May 2.0. I really like when people are really passionate and proud of their work. :)

I love the story of Adora-Dorian (?) from Sri Lanka; goes to show how cars hang onto memories. When I was younger my dad had a Datsun 280ZX; he sold it for a Porche 911 and i never forgave him. That aside, though, I have such vivid memories of that bright rust orange car with specks on, whenever I look for images to show someone else I scroll through all of the google images or whatever to make sure to find a colour that matches closely with Dads. I'm so glad that Neal and the team can help him get the car back into what it was, vs just a random colour thrown on. It's kind sad that that previous workshop didn't realize what they were doing at the time

That door slam was so satisfying.

Would love to have a brew and a chat with Neil.

Super interesting

lol Mike why would you wear white in a shop?! The oily stain in the intro breaks continuity ;) 1:09 is where it occurs

love the Toyota Tercel From Sri Lanka is that a 4WD model?.most of the Tercels in that generation imported Sri lanaka are 4WD models i think they are brought through Toyota agent and Those holes on the front guards are for JDM mirrors some change them after you imported them by the agents i thinks.
