I randomly fell over this 4 part video series of Chris Harris restoring his dream car. I'm not sure exactly how old this is, but is filmed and narrated in the "Chris Harris on Cars" kind of way that we have come to know and love.

As a bonus, I've added the Chris Harris on Cars episode, where he reviews the Singer Porsche. If you weren't in love with Porsche's before, you will be after you watch this...

This was probably mid-2000s. Chris has been around a long time.

Also, dat hairline...

Chris is one of the lucky few who can pull off mostly bald decently well.

Now I REALLY want to know where his money for cars comes from. I thought he just had an absurd amount of money from a family estate, but since he "sold it for food" I just don't know.

I don't think he owns it anymore. This is what was in his shed 2 years ago: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.…

Of course some things have changed. He owns a previous gen RR Supercharged now, a Ferrari FF, and a 512 TR. Although he's owned a 512 TR before.

Yeah, he cycles through cars pretty regularly. I think he owned a GT3RS 4.0 and a 599 recently, as well.

Correct. In the past he's also owned a Ferrari 612, Porsche 997.1 GT3, 996 GT2, 993 GT2 (which he regrettably sold too quickly). He had a Mercedes SLS for a year I think, lots of AMG products constantly on his driveway like a C63 Estate. Just incredible, actually.

He's like the original Doug Demuro.

The difference being that Chris Harris provides trustworthy consumer advice, and Doug simply entertains the masses. To each their own, and I've got to be honest, I'd rather read a Doug piece over lunchtime then a Chris Harris piece. Who's videos do I prefer? Well that's easy... after all, we're on OPPO here.
