No Names or Faces Allowed: Secret Hong Kong Car Collections | Capturing Car Culture 

Hey everyone, I just wanted to clear up what I said in the video. I was wrong about the government taking away your vehicles in Hong Kong for no reason at all. I messed up and I should not have said that. I need to be more careful when I make these grand statements. What I should have said was that they WILL find a reason to take away your vehicle if they choose to. Even if it's unfounded and not true, EVEN if the vehicle is stock and they think it's modified. As you have seen in the past video where the cop stopped the NSX-R owner because he does not have an airbag, even though the NSX-R never came with one in the first place. The cars can be taken away for as little as aftermarket wheels, or a different radio / head unit, as was stated in the last videos. This is the same for the storage places where the cars and collections actually live, the collectors are deathly afraid of their garages taken away. Again, the government will find a reason. I've been shooting cars for 20 years and I've traveled to so many places, but I've never EVER been in a situation where I have seen so many people afraid to let their car be seen online. While I was in Hong Kong I legitimately saw hundreds of cars where the owner did not want me to photograph it, or show the plate, or show their face. HUNDREDS! We visited so many incredible collections in Hong Kong and the owners were legitimately scared for me to shoot anything even on my phone because they didn't want to attract any attention from the authorities. Even just cars that showed up to some of the meets that we held, they did not want their face to be seen, they did not want me to photograph their car, they just wanted me to SEE the car for some reason. If you want to read the actual law it's here section 80. Notice "the reason to believe" verbage www.elegislation.gov.hk/hk/cap374!en Any police officer who, as a result of an examination of a vehicle under subsection (1), has reason to believe that-(a) the vehicle has been involved in an accident;(b) the vehicle is not roadworthy; (Amended 3 of 1991 s. 8)(ba) the vehicle does not comply with vehicle emission standards; or (Added 3 of 1991 s. 8)(c) the vehicle does not comply with this Ordinance or any condition subject to which the vehicle licence in respect of the vehicle was issued,may-(i) direct the driver of the vehicle to drive it to such vehicle examination centre or police station as the police officer may specify; or (ii) direct the driver and any other person to leave the vehicle and himself drive or remove the vehicle or cause it to be driven or removed to any vehicle examination centre or police station, and may cause the vehicle to be detained at a vehicle examination centre or police station for not more than 72 hours while the vehicle is examined by a vehicle examiner.

Thanks and much appreciated for Larry Chen reaching out to me and solved all below matters!!!!! Disclaimer: We have never approved any contents shown in this video and are deeply disappointed by the lack of respect from Larry Chen. 1. We have reminded him to blur a certain object in the garage. *ignored by him. 2. We needed to see the draft before posting. * He agreed but did not give us the draft. 3. We asked to blur the object after the video was released (doable), and his response was “we are making a fuss for nothing” 4. Without approving the video beforehand, none of his speech in his videos could be said to accurately represent any of the car collectors. We are just car lovers sharing our passion with no intention at all to challenge anyone.

Man, that dude with a wife that shares his passion, what an angel. This guy should not cry every day, he should be the happiest dude on the planet

Trying to keep a low profile in Hong Kong's car scene is like hiding a Tyrannosaurus rex in a phone booth!

"When I was much younger i collected Ferraris" That Guy looks 25.

Growing up lusting over muscle cars and hot rods I learned to appreciate the insanity of the JDM car culture and impressive line up of insane cars ever made from the tiny island!

He has the most rare JDM Tuners and LFA I have seen. This is a legendary car collection video. That white NSX is super clean!!

Larry was showing how oppressive the government is in Hong Kong, Any private property can be taken at any time!

My favorite thing to watch on this channel. Love Car Culture so much.

The couple at the end ❤

Loving these videos. So glad to have my 66 bug insured by Hagerty. But these videos give me a huge respect for HongKong Car Culture. What they have to go through, to have these cars, and the fact that they have some of the rarest and cleanest JDM Examples in their collections, is just insane. Huge respect to our fellow car enthusiasts in Asian! Keep on driving.

love the couple with the HF1991. good luck with the tsukuba dream! 💯

That couple who own lancia delta are lovely❤. Wish they get amazing deal whenever they sell it.

This is an amazing impressive collection. Thanks for producing this video.

This is a nicely balanced video that shows collections of all types. It would be fun to see more modest collections, but this is getting less and less common nowadays that the costs of these cars are climbing so quickly. Its a shame, and it makes enjoying and driving our cars so much more difficult.

I guess the 'elders' like myself are the US version of an "uncle", lol. It's refreshing to learn of gear heads in other lands and to know the hobby isn't something that the US only does. It seems that time may not be on our side, as we are universally considered outlaws by the great powers

Kudos to these guys for preserving and caretaking such iconic moments in automotive history. Love all the JDM stuff too, I would never sell my 1990 Subaru Legacy GT wagon. Owned it 20 years this year and might have to restore it (again) but maybe back to stock this time? Seems it would be worth more...? I still have the original motor so it's certainly possible.

Great vid, So sad seeing all those hiding without being driven… Cars are art in movement, meant to be driven and enjoyed.

How much I love JDM cars.. well I got happy tears at the mid of the vid. No shame admit that. Exactly why I own my R34, it was my dream car and its never leaving my ownership :)

This is mind blowing. Thanks for giving us this executive opportunity

"No names or faces allowed" Also one of those owners: *plasters his RU-vid channel name all over his license plates* 🤣🤣

This Hong Kong series is truly truly amazing - please keep the good work up!!

Many many kudos to all these car enthusiasts. They are amazing and living their passion in that environment is crazy. By the way, the Delta HF is ... wahou... no words. Like it a lot.

Not even a huge Skyline guy anymore but those CRS are just gorgeous.

OMG. THAT'S A CROWN COMFORT GT-Z!!!! It's my dream car.

That S660 Neo Classic is so cool.

I've been loving this series so far, Larry. I hope for more.

Loved the 22B and that was a nice yellow hawk eye next to it. I love Subarus. 😂

What a bloody awesome collection of cars at Contempo, know of the name from seeing their Mercedes racing here in the UK! The collection is nuts though

Hong Kong scene, amazing! 👏👏

Love watching these documentaries of the jdm car culture around the world! These need to be longer!

Damn! Such an amazing JDM collection! It’s so unfortunate that the owner(s) are stifled to truly enjoy the freedom to engage in the culture of these awesome rides. Great video!

"Money, money, money, must be funny, in the rich man´s world ! " Quote : ABBA Song from 1976

Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to film and to share with us!

Excellent work, Larry! I watched the whole series and loved it all. You are crazy dedicated to your art and it shows.

Undriven cars hurt my soul.

Larrys content is aways amazing. He loves cars and it shows. Living vicariously through him for years.

Another fantastic episode. Love the videos, love the cars, love the enthusiasts. 👍🏻

Yea these people got the best jdm car collection crazy

Its properly amazing and awe inspiring to see so many different levels of the various different car cultures from HK. Living in Europe, its just easy to see the hugely valuable and mega money JDM and super/hyper car collections and to think that is nearly all there is to see. So its really good to see some of the other people, who are just as passionate and enthusiastic, even if the cars might not be worth nearly as much as a Z-Tune or a NSX-R. Although, I could easily look at those all day as well 😀 Real pity, the political situation has changed so much for the worse over the last few decades, since 1997.

Such a cool episode, but cant overlook the fact we were drooling over OG JDM throughout the episode but at 27:44 we see the interior of a Land Cruiser 70 series. A lC70 in HK! with a clock!

That Z-tune, but that MNP GT-R 34 OMG that looks mental

The owners need to respected, i mentioned that the electrical lines where rolled on while charging up to 4 batteries. I would recommend to roll the line totally off, so you wont get any fire du to heat.

11:04 Dartboard!!! But wow, these cars are literally insane! Amazing video!

Great video,! The cars are amazing....

Wait a min I follow contempo they detail.. oh whaattt insane collection.. ❤

Thank you Hagerty!

Yes! my s2000 has made it in the collections! 😁

Thanks you so much for the series of car culture in Japan I absolutly love everything about it. Except the gouverment ofcourse.

Larry, Thank you for all the all the hard work you put into all your videos! Sincere respect to the car enthusiast in China!!

really really neat collection, but its particularly the nsx-r, the mugen rr, and the assortment of bearbricks that was the icing on the cake, a championship white 99 ctr would be the cherry on top with the 22b

As an arab man i absolutely love and adore Japan and its car culture. Unbelievably intelligent and down to earth no matter how much money they have. Breathtakingly beautiful people.

Richard has his own RU-vid also

Loving this series! Hoping there’s an opportunity to buy prints of some of the shots taken.

That Motocompo with the original price sticker is genuine gold dust 😵 seriously jealous!!!

I like it until 17:00 - some collectors simply prefer to be low key not because of any governments/authorities, that's just being safe with their assets against theft and undesired attention. Hong Kong car circle is rather small, everyone knows everyone especially with such pricey collections, it would be dangerous if their storage locations are exposed.

i love 67(richard)!! 歡迎嚟到hagrety嘅channel 🤣🤣 xrx fan from US :)

That Comfort GT-Z is super cool. But it’s also Trigger’s Broom.

the last couple so cute!!

Love this series, keep it going! First guy is a double edged sword for the car community. It's great that he owns all this very expensive car history. But it's also terrible that they're just garage kept and never see the road. LFA with 200km? "Do you drive any of these cars anymore? Not really to be honest." It's just a waste. And I get it, Larry is highlighting the difficulties of owning cars in HK, but he seems more interested in the value of them. Cont'd: I think the car companies are 51% to blame than these "I need to keep my value" owners, since they just didn't make more of each of these cars that are now "collecting dust" sitting in peoples garages and show rooms and never touching pavement because of "rarity and value". I think these companies should re-make all these cars as like a "rebirth" series. It wouldn't hurt the value of the originals one cent because you'd have vin numbers to know which is original and which is the remade model. So we'd get to see more of these beautiful cars on the road, and then everyone else can garage queen the originals if they want. (And the originals would very likely increase in value because of the popularity boom, it's a win-win)

The hyper car collections sitting in air-conditioned display rooms are nice, but that Lancia seems to be the one that's really living its best life with its owners.

They found stuff around Omori .😮 Legendary car culture in Japan

Can you record something more about mPower Hong Kong spots and in particular this orange M3? If there is an instagram of this M3 then give what nickname please, thanks!

The legislation you referred to (section 80 of Road Traffic Ordinance Cap 80) was enacted and amended to its current form in 1991. You yourself have quoted “added 1991” or “amended 1991”. This meant these legislations have been in force since 1991 (for 33 years now!) Hong Kong was under British colonial rule until 1997 so it was the British Colonial government which enacted these legislations (in 1991). If you check with the laws in UK, you will find that UK has similar legislations (see Road Traffic Act 1988 section 67: Testing vehicles on roads)

Great video!

That legacy rs really is my dream car! Even over a 22b

Wow, these are amazing cars

Fantastic!

Glad to see some VOLVO's in the mix !

I hope this cars stays like that healthy fresh and clean from owners to owners to the next owners. We are moving forward to the electric vehicles. Because of this new electric vehicles this legendary JDM cars are a bit expensive and rare for them to be sold over the market.

What an amazing series. I’m hooked

Larry you gotta visit the Malaysian Car scene man give malaysia a shot.

19:21 Mitsubishi Starion rally car... omg omg omg. Seeing one on video for the 1st time ever....

MX5 owned for many years. Modified quite well, illegal according to this video, however, it is driven hard daily without problems from the law.😂

You should take a look at the Motorcycle Culture in Hong Kong as well.

If 20 again (or 30 or so) - this would be my thing. Very cool...

R34 gtr always be my dreams car ❤

I'm glad you pronounced "Lancia" correctly! "Lan-cha"

One of the best works yet.... Go to the Philippines, next

😍 15:17 70s Toyota Celica 😍 15:21 Honda 😍 15:24 Alfa Romeo 😍 15:34 AR Spider 😍 19:25 Mazda RX-3 😍 19:41 1976 Lancia Scorpion 😍 19:50 yes 😍 22:10 yes 😍

@larry don't use your lovely camera in London UK, it will get stolen 😂.. love your work man! I once had a brand new honda ep3 type R limited edition in milano red... that was as far as i got! 😅... still, 2nd gear to 60mph was fun! 😂

I spotted Larry here in the Thailand a while back, still waiting for the video?

Dude 2 JDM SVXs hiding in that collection? That’s awesome

Awesome❗✌🏻😊

Amazing!

Not really a car culture where only rich people (profession = son) are shown! It's easy to collect Ferraris when your parents are rich! This is one reason why many poor Hong Kong residents like to be a part of communist China! Where does all the wealth come from? Only when other people lose! Matt and Jodie are the only real car lovers in this video, respect to them!

@4:30 the blue 400R he's talking about has to be the 1/1 LM😮 A million dollars car

Siiick 🔥🔥

This video, out of ALL your videos, ranks in the top 3, possibly #1...GREAT G R E A T video❗️❗️

Excellent video Love it

What year porshe at 0:47 ?

Impressive collection!!

Absolutely-Fing-Fantastic! THank you LArry and team, and thank you HKG car people!!!!

What was the weird looking car in white with the black front grille. The small coupe? Anyone know?

ey I've been here! greetings from ferrari city, aberdeen!

Another 🔥 video, but where's the dope intro music of last season? L

This is the most underrated channel on RU-vid. I love it

At 7:43 Kevin is prolly saying SACHs damper in the Z tune are crashy, not “shocks” as indicated in the subtitles

I 👀 the little restomod Alfa ❤

That was awesome!
