He doesn't regret selling it. Harry Metcalfe's visit to Cars & Money puts a rather refreshing perspective on the collector's favourite torment: what a car might be worth if only you'd kept it.
Despite the £8M shorthand in the episode's title, that wasn't his sale price. Metcalfe recounts buying his Pagani Zonda in 2006 and selling it around 2012 for roughly £430,000. Carl Hartley reckons the car would fetch north of £8 million today. Metcalfe, meanwhile, remembers having doubled his money. The extraordinary footnote is that the buyer didn't collect it, leaving the Zonda in his garage for another two years.
That conversation helped the week's only new upload reach about 265,000 views. Metcalfe, the Evo founder and Harry's Garage creator, gives hosts Rob Moore and Hartley plenty beyond investment arithmetic: a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow bought on impulse through eBay, an Arctic Circle drive, and early videos filmed while bringing his Countach back from Italy. The episode includes a paid motor-finance redress advertisement.
In the comments, a recurring request is for more uninterrupted time to hear Metcalfe's answers. Viewers also single out his depth of automotive knowledge, making the interview's rhythm a talking point alongside the cars.
Cars & Money's daily viewing is now roughly three times its usual pace, with Metcalfe's episode supplying most of that momentum. Subscribers grew over the week too. Among nearby motoring channels, Wheelie Yellow had a particularly large week, while Fixbook's daily viewing stayed close to its usual level.
Behind the new interview, Guy Phoenix's home-and-supercar conversation remains the busiest older upload, followed by Jodie Kidd's journey from modelling to motor racing. Phoenix's collection includes a Chevrolet Corvair, a different sort of curiosity from the Zonda dominating this week's conversation.
