Secret Garages fascinate me. You never know what to expect and in the case of the Hamilton Collection, it’s never static because Archie Hamilton is a wheelerdealer & the cars you see here are for sale. There are some absolute pearls!!

I’ve raced against Archie in the past both at Le Mans in a Ferrari GTE as well as in a Can Am off roader in an imaginary Lego world… I had no idea that he’s the grandson of Duncan Hamilton who won Le Mans in 1953, despite giving up in the race when his car died and heading to the pub.. Lofty England, Jaguar’s infamous Team boss, roused Duncan and his codrivers from the bar and threw them into the car to snatch an unlikely victory.

Anyway.. this collection has an eclectic mix of wicked Rally hatches, some unusual hypercars and some ultra rare racing cars.. one of my favourites being the Rover SD1 because the first model I knew my Dad driving (wildly) and the SD1 was the daddy of Touring Car racing back in the day. I’m hoping to persuade Archie to take this one on track in a subsequent video so I’m buttering him up.

I’m blown away by your support in subscribing to my channel so please let me know in the comments which cars from this collection you would like to see driven – then I’ll twist Archie’s arm
