The Secret Classic Car Barn we all dream of - Car Caves. Welcome to a Car Cave episode of The Late Brake Show, where Jonny Smith is invited inside a private owner's car collection. In this instance a fascinating bloke called Michael from Winchester, who has been building several 'posh barns' to house his habitual car hoarding habit. From MG Metro and Scirocco GTI, to Aston DB5 and Gordon Keeble to mid-build BMW Batmobiles to lines of mint classic Jags. It's all here.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
If you appreciate eclectic automotive taste and a car collection that has been assembled entirely around one man's lifelong bucket list, then this episode should be right up your alley.

Michael should have his own YouTube channel! He is so natural as a presenter and I can listen to him talking about his cars for hours.

What a life this chap has. Worked hard made some strong money and now he can pick and choose what makes him happy out of the worlds classifieds.

Of all the cathedral of private car collection films, this is one of the finest. A really modest nice chap, who’s clearly done well in life, but not in the slightest way arrogant or smug. And a beautiful collection in an amazing ‘shed’❤

This is easily my favourite of these so far. So much character, such a British centric eye and the fact his only reach into the Ferrari world is a 550 is the cherry on the cake. Fantastic.

Wow. When you see a registration and you think you know it . After looking though my photos on my phone. The metro gti at the end of the video used to come to the garage where I worked. Lovely old bloke used to bring it to the garage. I have a photo in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 of it being on the ramp.

Michael is such natural in front of camera, can he have his own segments?
Cracking cave as always Jonny

I don't even know where to begin! What a collection. Congratulations to Michael on amassing such a lovely collection, and thanks for allowing us to get a glimpse of the gems!

One of those rare videos that makes you, somehow, feel better about the world. What a nice guy and what a brilliant and very personal collection he’s put together - long may it continue

Michael is a great collector and a fine story teller. He is keeping fine vehicles in proper storage.

Best car cave ever!! The owner is so wonderful to hear and so humble about his amazing collection!
Thank you for showing us such fantastic stories!

Your best episode yet! I applaud this chap for his wonderful and eclectic car collection. He is a natural orator of his own car history, I could have listened to you both for hours! Too often us British folk get a bit jealous of other people’s possessions, especially great cars. This chap deserves all his wonderful automobilia. The unrestored cars are as interesting as the ‘baubles’ in his vast collection. What I would give for the Shooting brake Jag…

What a really nice guy. Polite, well spoken, no airs or graces about him. Full of great stories. Jonny, I’m sure you had a great day spent with him.

Probably my favourite car cave yet. More collection content please!

I've lost count of the LBS video's I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed, but this is the first one, when I first saw the contents of this Barn, I went fkin hell! what a eclectic collection of wonderful cars. You knocked it out the park, or should I say Barn with this one Jonny. 👍 Many thanks to the owner Michael for letting us all see his wonderful collection, any DB5 will always steal my heart. 😍 Thanks Jonny as always, if it wasn't for you and your reputation and YouTube channel, we would never get to see these wonderful collections. 👍

Michael being true to his car life history. Proper reasons to collect the cars, with flash back moments by just seeing them and sitting in them. Like many of us, we purchased vehicles many years ago for the right reasons in the moment. The lucky few have been able to hold onto the cars and when necessary store them rather than sell them for resurrection when family, career and life releases us to. My barn is smaller, my passion similar. Great to see and thanks for sharing guys.

Some years ago, when my son was about four, we went to Castle Combe and watched some classic Jags race. For some reason, that I can’t explain, I found myself moved to tears. There was a noble dignity about their continued racing that I found quite profound.

This chap is a true classic enthusiast in every sense of the word. An Aston Martin DB5 and quite happy to have a Montego or a Metro in the same collection. And everything cared for and cherished. Nothing left outside to rot. He deserves everything he has worked for. Jonny, possibly your best show to date. Much appreciated.

Great episode Jonny. What a cracking collection of cars and huge thank you to Michael allowing you a peek into his motoring world. What a down to earth, genuine man Michael is. Really enjoyed that episode. The back stories were amazing. Nice one Jonny.

A true, unadulterated enthusiast. Thank you to Michael for allowing us into his sanctum of automotive wonder. There are some true unicorns in this collection, I'm in awe!
