PistonHeads Headlines - PH Fleet: the Harris collection

What a load of twaddle.

When you see the first picture, it shows 3 Porsches and you will probably think.....Wow.

But when you read through his list you realise that all of his stuff is mostly junk with the odd exception. I have got far more cars sitting about in my garden. And a boat. And some scooters. And a dirt bike.

In his near last evo column he said the finance on the GT3 RS was costing him £1280 a month hp over 48 months after a £16k deposit. He didn't know how long he could afford it for. Serious money for a car

Looks like the 124 will be staying whilst other metal disappears - he clealry has his head screwed on

I enjoy reading his journalism and think his 'fleet' is interesting. He makes no claims for having the best car line up, but just what he enjoys or has happened to buy and then not sell over the years. There are some cars which nearly everyone can afford, so to coin a phrase 'he's keeping it real'

ps. I gather he's handing back the 911 soon-ish.

I like his fleet, there are good mixture of cars.

You are so street.

I agree, several of his cars are milestone cars, and all bar one are the sorts of cars which any member of this forum could own - and even that one exception could be owned by quite a few members:

1994 Range Rover Vogue SE. 3.9 V8 'soft dash' 160,000 miles.
> Ignore that American Wagoneer thingy that come before it, and the Range Rover was what started what the phenomenon of SUVs. A 1994 is one of the last, and therefore one of the best refined versions.

1990 Peugeot 205 XS. 95,000 miles. Completely standard.
> Sweetest handling of the sweet handling small french hatchbacks, and a distilled version of the legendary 205 GTis. The smaller the engine the more pure the experience.

1988 Citroen AX GT. 68,000miles, Completely standard.
> Similar to 205, but lighter.

1997 Mercedes E320 Sportline Cabriolet. 90,000 miles. Standard car.
> No explaination required.

1957 Land Rover Series One 107-inch Pick-up. MOT failure.
> Why wouldn't you want a Series One for messing about in if you have land?

2003 VW Passat TDi 100 estate. Slow.
> Well his wife has to drive something to the supermarket.

A BMW 325 rally car.
> Could be anything, but the fact there's something set up for ragging away from the public road. I know I would, if I could.

2011 Porsche GT3 RS 4.0
> One of the purest chassis available of late.

1986 BMW E28 M5. 120,000 miles.
> Founding father of super saloons as we know and love them, with added lightness and simplicity.

2012 Mercedes E350 CDi estate.
> What could be better as a family car?
