00:00Hi, I'm Jane, JHW Classics. I started getting interested in cars because my dad was interested
00:08in cars, my brother was interested in cars, and then I met my late husband Henry and he
00:15loved cars as well, which sort of got us together, and we started collecting. And sadly he passed
00:22away 16 years ago, but I've carried on collecting in his memory, but also because I love them.
00:30Take this one for example, this is called the Triumph Fury, it is the Triumph Fury because
00:36it's the only one in the world, a Michelotti prototype, beautiful little car, very fortunate
00:43to be able to find that one. This one is a racing car specially built for us, Vanwall,
00:51Ferrari engine, and we have a GT replica, GT40 replica, all beautiful cars, and cars
01:05that we just enjoy driving. Right, we have tool storage, otherwise you have two here,
01:12and another two there, so that you can have passengers sat in the back, facing inwards
01:19with their feet in the hollow. So you've also got quite a bit of storage in there,
01:24if you haven't got enough already in the back, as it is.
01:32And then of course we come to DeLorean, Back to the Future, and most people will know about
01:37Back to the Future. Keats loved to be taken to their proms in this one. Dame Le Destrier
01:44started life as a dame in Majestic Major, it was a big old saloon, but the body rotted,
01:49so somebody converted it to a smaller 30 star racing car. The Lamborghini LN002, people
01:59may have heard of it as the Rambo Lambo, of course, the best of its own, to load, had
02:04one, back in the day. Lamborghini engines, and pre-hummer, but very like the Hummer,
02:11but before the Hummer. An XJS, fabulous touring car, great, moved down, down to the south
02:19of France, thoroughly enjoyed that one. This is a Daimler Sovereign, 420, 1969, and a nice
02:29old car, lovely old car, lovely to drive, style and class. This is called the Iso Grifo,
02:38now in 1967 this was the motor show car, and John Lennon attended the motor show, actually
02:45bought a different Iso, but he sat in this one, so his bum has been on the seat of this
02:50car, Italian styling, American engine. The Ferrari 400, not a sports car, a four seater
03:00saloon. Datsun 240ZG, now people may have heard of the Datsun 240Z, this one is slightly
03:10different in that it was designed as a rally car. Jaguar, back in the day, produced 297
03:19of these, the XJ220, originally designed to be another V12, but in the end it had a V6
03:28with twin turbo power. First production car over 200 miles an hour. My favourite car to
03:36drive, you might think it's strange, is an American pick-up, it's called a Lightning,
03:43Ford F150 Lightning, 5 point lead, 4 litre, supercharged, and it's just so much fun to
03:51drive, it really is so much fun to drive and makes fabulous noise. Mercedes 220 SEB,
03:59convertible, Mercedes, just a nice touring car, not one you want to take into town too
04:10often because she's fairly big, but lovely to drive. And the other end of the scale,
04:17most modern car I own, 2007, which is the SLK55AMG, so 5.5 litre Mercedes, folding metal
04:29roof, a really fun little car.
