Secret collection of 80s and 90s AMG & Brabus Mercedes - Car Caves. In this special garage tour episode Jonny Smith visits a chap called Neville in Surrey who has a stash of about 20 cars, most of which are niche tuner Mercedes from the 80s and 90s period. In between these boxy Benzes he also has several muscle cars and a custom car, harking back to his childhood of seeing '70s style Street Machines.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

This was brilliant and great that Nev could stay off camera. Easy to forget that these are highly personal and not everyone wants to advertise what they have. Being allowed to see the collection but not the owner is perfect as we want to see the cars. Jonny has that difficult knack of not saying too much and allowing the owner to speak. Car caves and barn finds are the best.

@gsmith207 Год назад

nailed that

@KNMK259 Год назад

Well said, thank you.

@kevinoconnor7684 Год назад

Absolutely Super what a collection and enthusiast. Nev has all the detail.. What a brilliant talk through by Nev and Johnny a total pro giving the man the space and time to describe how they all came together.. Some more of this please... Best wishes completing your collection Nev..

@YBRL007 Год назад

achievement goals, thought about @beatsbyesta watching this

@microfarming8583 2 месяца назад

More likely the owner is highly dodgy and doesn't want to be seen.

@classic_britain Год назад

I like the fact that Jonny respects that the owner did not want to be on camera and the video still looks great!

@speedy83 Год назад

Yes the video still worked very well, I'm glad Nev was happy to talk over the cars while Jonny was on camera. What an incredible collection

@dickie8918 Год назад

Pikeys all over the country are looking for clues in the video so they can rob him… I know the feeling!

@ricky4638 Год назад

Probably a good thing because if I ever saw this dumb shitters Face Id want to slap it for not driving his classics. Clown

@foxtrotwhiskey874 Год назад

he had no other option fucko,

@schrodingerscat8621 Год назад

As an owner of a bunch of 80s German cars including a pair of Cosworth‘s, this is one of the most amazing collections I’ve ever seen!❤️

@chiefrocka8604 Год назад

Check out Patina , they are even buying English amg’s

@dimsoneill Год назад

Check out the Patina Collective out of Florida. The rarest of the rare Mercs. Gullwings, Koenig Specials, ABC, BRABUS, Classon, etc

As a Mercedes employee I am very happy to see collections like this in the UK

@fhwolthuis Год назад

Dutchman Willy Mosselman made some incredible turbo kits for Benzes. I remember reading an interview with him in a Dutch car magazine (Autovisie). His filosophy was to keep the compression ratio high and use low turbo pressure. This way the efficiency of the engine was good at the whole rev range and turbo lag was also not an issue. It was a totally different filosophy than what was common back in the 80s.

@p1yaan Год назад

Quite similar to what Saab did then!

@somebodyelseful Год назад

This is why I should have spent my life trying to get rich. Too late now, but hey! I can appreciate this obsessive collection. Seriously impressive.

@hoonaticbloggs5402 Год назад

He’s probably too busy working to have time to drive them

@cw3728 Год назад

You have to be so rich just to have the space to store them lol.

@josh_bfc_2769 Год назад

It's incredible how many classic Mercedes this guy has and parts at his disposal. I didn't want this episode to end. Fantastic video Johnny, you never fail to deliver.

@dscott113 Год назад

One of my all-time favorite episodes. What an amazing collection. And it's great hearing the stories about him chasing all the special parts. Sometimes that's the most fun part.

@TheLateBrakeShow Год назад

Agree. For many of Jonny's projects that is his favourite part of the process. It also feels more rewarding ultimately.

@grantbattle4911 Год назад

The only car enthusiast that dont like manuals thats crazy to me but seems like a top bloke an knows a hell of alot

@richardatkinson500 Год назад

It's not often I'm motivated to watch a video twice, but will watch again on the big screen to take in the full vista of Neville's awesome setup and cars, just a great show 'n' tell video and incredibly informative with it too

@TheLateBrakeShow Год назад

Many thanks Richard!

@jimbobjameshecks Год назад

Str8 up 👍🏻 off the thumbnail alone Mr smith!! you make a perfect end alongside a roast normally boring Sunday 👌 😋 I salute you !!

@TheLateBrakeShow Год назад

Thank you. Glad to have you along to view. The thumbnail cannot do this garage stash enough justice, frustratingly. 4 sheds of retro tuned pornography.

@obsidian.... Год назад

@@TheLateBrakeShow I think this is my new favorite. Well done

@rare6499 Год назад

Brilliant, great collection.I had a R plate C36 when I was 21, about 16 years ago. Loved it. Was slower than my e36 328i sport but it was such a cool car.

@bentaylor9021 Год назад

Wow! What an amazing collection. Cannot wait to see the barn find episode too. Fair play to Nev, that’s a hell of a lot of dedication and determination that has built that collection! All I would have wanted to add would be a sorted BMW E30 M3 and a screaming M5 or 5 series Alpina from the same era. Respect for your car cave sir 🙏🏻👍🏻

@andreww8941 Год назад

Awesome episode Jonny!!!! Could watch you two talking about these for hours upon hours. Absolutely love these episodes like this more than anything. Much appreciated sir!

@thepassionofthegoose5472 Год назад

Love seeing the old American stuff in the UK. Upon being discharged from the army in 69 during the Vietnam era my father bought a 1970 Firebird Formula 400 (Trans Am without the disco) with a 4-speed and all manner of go-fast goodies. I came along in 73 and that was our family car until 80. He bought another Formula in 87, which for the then thirteen year old me was the final nail in the car obsession coffin that I have yet to climb out of.

@bunning63 Год назад

Knew this guy in New Zealand back in the mid eighties that had a Formula 400, at which time he had just bought it. I believe he still owns it.

@kevinhaigh3962 Год назад

What a amazing collection lucky fella, my favourite is the Ford zodiac loved them as a kid my next door neighbour had 2 of them and he used to let us play in them pretending to drive them great memories cheers Johnny

@kuriousgeetv1512 Год назад

Videos like this help me explain to the missus why us males hoard things while we can

@JConTwoWheels Год назад

Love all these vids. Always enjoyed Jonny Smith since Fifth Gear. Keep up the amazing work, bringing these amazing machines from the past back to life.

@ErikB750 Год назад

First saw the ‘barnfind’ episode on the 500SEC AMG and now this (although I am subscribed): mental what this man has collected. Over the years I am growing more into these Merc’s, but I still remember the Mosselman ones… they were next level. So much respect for this collection as a result of a passion that started at early age … too many influencers ‘collecting’ cars.

@badgersalesman5595 Год назад

The owner is a legend. He is also wearing my favourite watch a Tag Monaco ❤

@richardgledhill Год назад

Like a kid in a sweet shop 🙂 The Mercs are impressive, but that Zodiac is the most interesting for me. All great, can't wait for the barn-find follow-on!

@gs425 Год назад

Mercs have always had that fuddy duddy image for me. Even the pepped up ones. That said, these were the last mercs that were true quality, before the rust prone and dubious quality ones that followed in 2000s, and the common or garden ones sat on pcp in every council st you see nowadays.

@WilliamStevens007 Год назад

What a absolutely brilliant collection of cars Neville, Such a knowledgeable person and all the better that your behind the camera. What an episode. Thank you for sharing it.

@mohammeddmalik Год назад

Top car fleet and a top quality cameraman. Well done Neville!

@PB200559 Год назад

What a wonderful collection and an absolutely brilliant voice over of each car by Neville. Sounds a proper gent. All served up with a light side of Johnny - perfect viewing.

@steverobinson7650 Год назад

Best. Carcave. Ever. 80’s modified Mercs. Total dream!

@Hoff-km1vp Год назад

Great cars. Great guests. Perfect pace. Perfect delivery. Thank you

@mattkinsella9856 Год назад

I absolutely love 80s and 90s Mercedes! My Dad had a 190e, a few of my friends Dads also had various Mercs in the 80s and early 90s. So many memories, emotions and nostalgia. All the right feels you should get from classic cars.

@joshimitsu96 Год назад

Super interesting, thank you Neville for contacting Jonny and inviting him round.

@davidh2022 Год назад

Awesome Jonny! Reminds me of drooling over Fast Lane and Performance Car magazines as a teenager! these 80's 90's Mercs are hot property right now and deserve the attention.

@Lot76CARS Год назад

Oh, I love my 190E… in fact was out in it today. The ‘Y’ plate 190E is a super early car at production only started in late 1982, obviously LHD as the first UK cars all appear on ‘A’ plates. Only a pity Neville didn’t appear on camera.. however the cars are the stars as always!

@energymc22 Год назад

Yeah I did a double take when I saw that reg number, then remembered it's now been over 40 years since the W201 🤔

@MdvK13979 Год назад

A car cave edition with a bonus barn find! Those are the best right ;)

@Dannyjones1 Год назад

I'm a recent subscriber and a huge fan of the channel now and have watched so many of your videos in the last month. What a job you have, but what a job you are doing!👍🏻

@16Tango Год назад

As a kid who was in my mid teens in Germany in the mid 80’s all those Mercs are right up my alley. I have some pictures and brochures from a bunch of tuners that were at the 85 Frankfurt Auto show.

@havocmwf Год назад

This is the second of these videos I have watched of Nev's car collection. He sounds like an awesome guy and down to earth. Did I mention that I love his Merc collection?

@bernardwarr4187 Год назад

Great video and many thanks to Neville, right up my street as I have a 500E with a 6liter engine I build and soon doing a M119 w201 which I am collecting parts for.

@grayfool Год назад

Best era for Mercs IMHO.. 500E, oooohhhhhh. . . Mind you, a W124 estate would do nicely too thanks.

@Julianpms Год назад

I only have one W124, a standard E420 from 1995 with low miles (45,000 km at present) and two owners before me. Rather like Neville's E400 AMG, but totally standard appearance, which makes it quite the sleeper. If you're ever near Paris, you're welcome to take it for a drive. I think you'd like it!

@Tangster1205 Год назад

Bravo, this is by far the best Brabus collection ever... Great Job Jonny! Thanks for sharing.

@Steven91637 Год назад

Great Benz Cars there but this White Pontiac Formula 400 Amazing 🎉

@Tisala Год назад

Neville is a true and original collector. I know of a few friends who have brought and sold some gems from him. He’s had some collectors go through him! Some of them now residing with others such as Patina collective who have the gold rally 190 or Benz collector sneek now owning the c126 sgs.

@jamesbirden2840 Год назад

Neville Brown is just a dick boomer.

@UpsideDownFork Год назад

Great collection and brilliant to see someone who isn't as fussed about providence and happy with replicas and tributes. 👍

@gavinmillington1094 Год назад

I love a Sunday afternoon video. Thank you Jonny.

@davidboyce6427 Год назад

I remember seeing on many episodes of Miami Vice AMG and Brabus Mercedes Benz. That show was always based on Movers and Shakers and Drug King Pins.

@handlebarmoustache7047 7 дней назад

That bright red 190E is beautiful! 😊

@IanRossDavies Год назад

The car collection is obviously wonderful. But that collection of parts had me in a crisis. Love it.

@mbclk65amg Год назад

Ohhh this is a good one! Cheers Jonny, always a pleasure!

@markonmotoring Год назад

What a remarkable collection. Serious shed envy here and a treasure trove of parts too. Last year I had the pleasure of reviewing a very tidy 1990 Ascot Grey 190E 2.0 auto. I can see why these cars commanded a premium back in the day as they feel.way more substantial than most 80's designed cars. In fact I always forget that these go back 40 years and often think of them being more of an early 90's car

@rossodonnell2654 Год назад

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing collection. Thank you.

@tedium37 Год назад

Oh my! What a cornucopia of high hp goodness. This fellow is a serious collector. Well done man. Thanks for sharing.

The Golf at the end was a total surprise! I had an RE2000 16v and it was stunning. Super quick for its time!

@gold4leaf Год назад

@14:23 Jonny, you held the phone to your ear the wrong way, the key pad should be away from the ear not towards 🤣🤣🤣. re-visited this vid from the Hammer V8 wide body vid

@ryanbunning7595 Год назад

That MK2 golf is an absolute gem, love that zender front end. The whole collection oozes cool.

@nelg1973 Год назад

Wow, I just love these old finds. please keep them coming. There is a future, but the past cars of this era are better, along with music & people.

@willlowbridge350 Год назад

Those spares are a great business on their own. Thank you all involved I love these insights to collectors toy boxes.

@Mike7O7O Год назад

I've never seen anything like this before. What a collection. The mind boggles at the thought of forty cars like this. Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for something German or Italian and 80's, for a daily driver as I don't do many miles and this has given me a lot of inspiration. For my money, you and Chris Harris are hands down the best motoring presenters around. Basically, I'd watch anything either of you produce. Huge thanks! :)

@mtnvalley9298 Год назад

The Patina Collective out of Miami will blow your mind. Try 300+ of the same ilk.

@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain Год назад

Just starting my Late Brake Show Binge session and what a epic video kick off with, best era of merc for me without w shadow of a doubt. Totally respect that Nev wanted to stay behind the camera but what a epic collection.

@matthines5150 Год назад

What a legend, this collection and his approach to building them out in a creative but curated fashion… I love the balance of maintaining a known aesthetic… but one that is modified and sort of one-off by nature. Amazing.

@davidevans4089 Год назад

What a lovely diverse collection to put it mildly.

@ewanstewart8011 Год назад

Neville has fantastic taste in cars and thanks for letting us visit, those sheds brought out some serious envy in me 😅👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love the Mercedes, served my apprenticeship in a Merc main dealer in the late 80’s. Love the AMG conversions, mad conversions always loved the black grills etc sinister but so cool 👍

@KNMK259 Год назад

Thank you for making this video. Mercedes Benz 190D was the first car, I got to sat in. My uncle had it, originally was a red car, and it was painted silver. It was just lovely, manual transmission, I really love the spare wheel, how they have a plastic sort of tub, which sort of turns and locks up. It had a lovely Pioneer Hi-Fi system, with a remote which would click in on the steering wheel.

@AnagramAutoclassics Год назад

You've made me realise I shouldn't have sold my C36 AMG in 2001. I need another one!

@curiosity_guy 8 месяцев назад

I'm born in '85 and my father owned an W123 when I was 10, and now for some years, an W126. I love these old school cars along some american muscle cars, because I grew with them and I always loved the design and the impression who gaved to me when I was a kid. Congrats to owner for this very nice collection.

@samholland7793 Год назад

I really enjoyed this Mr Smith. Nev is local to me as I live near Gatwick. And also being a massive W124 fan thus is just so refreshing from all the supercar BS on RU-vid. Top Work !!
