Harry Metcalfe is a farmer-turned-publisher who co-founded evo magazine in 1998 and served as its editorial director until 2013, before building the Harry's Garage YouTube channel around his own roughly 35-vehicle collection. He is unusual among collectors for actually using his cars — driving a Zonda 20,000km, taking a Testarossa to the Sahara and a Countach across Europe — and for publishing annual videos detailing exactly what the fleet costs to run. In 2025 he began publicly "pruning" the collection, selling several channel-star cars through Iconic Auctioneers at the NEC.

+£32,250(+48%)
unrealised · Marque market estimate
£67,500 → £99,750 · modelled from 29 verified sales
Bought late 2021 (one of 21 works Turbo S cars with the 3.4 Motorsport engine); checked the arrival video, 2021 round-up, Spanish/Euro road-trip series and Nov 2025 NEC video - he discusses period list prices and says it has 'quite a value' but has never disclosed what he paid. Still owned, no sale.

2014–present
+£87,875(+163%)
unrealised · stated buy · Marque estimate today
£54,000 → £141,875 · modelled from 15 verified sales
In 'Ferrari Testarossa refresh part 1' (Harry's Garage, ~2022) he states: 'I bought it at Silverstone Auctions for 54,000 pounds, which was a fair bit off market price at the time - was about 70,000' (1987 car, bought 2014, discounted because of an old repaired 'uneconomic repair'). Still owned (NC500 road-trip video 2025; 'staying' in his Nov 2025 NEC sale video), so no sale price.

£67,000 → £437,127 · modelled from 10 verified sales, cross-market FX-adjusted
In his Harry's Garage video 'Why I sold my Zonda...' (2019) he says of the Countach QV: 'this arrived in September 2010 and it was 67 thousand pounds, from memory' (he adds insurance was ~GBP 200 to add and QVs were GBP 60-80k at the time). Still owned as of his Aug 2026 'Final drive before some big bills' video, so no sale price.

The sale (brokered by Tom Hartley Jnr, completed 2012/13) had no disclosed price - he only says 'I made a bit of money on it' (press at the time, e.g. GTSpirit, confirmed no sale price was released).

How these numbers are made
Car imagery: our own licensed model-catalogue photography, rendered as monochrome plates; hover a photo for its credit. Where Harry Metcalfehas publicly stated what they paid or sold for, we use their figures and say so. Everywhere else, the figure is a Marque market-modelled estimate: the verified auction median for that exact model in its market at acquisition vs sale (or today). These are estimates of market movement during ownership — not statements of actual profit, and they ignore spec, mileage, modifications, fees and taxes. Cars we can’t price honestly show no figure.
