Richard Hammond reunites with Oliver!
Motor
Over the past couple of years, Richard Hammond has been neglecting his Opel Kadett, Oliver. So just before the worst of the British winter rolled in, Richard took the opportunity to check in on his Okavango Delta-smiting friend.

Ah, but unlike all the thousands upon thousands of other makes and models of cars, Oliver even has his own song (here's the chorus): "Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army is on their way And i would rather be anywhere else But here today." Take that, you posh, hoity-toity, namby-pamby sports cars :P
Oliver is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Purple, and a V8, richard? That'd be idiotic, you'd ruin the nice handling characteristics of such a light car. Restore to factory all the way.
Resto-mod . Make him look stock outside but have a much more powerful engine and updated suspension and breaks for a better performance
Find a nice pasture to put him in... forever!
Retro rally aaaallllll the way💪👍
yes please! Retro Ralley Car!!!!!!! Or original thing, keeping him as he is!
I’m on the restore to factory side but if you still want something special maybe replace the petrol engine and retrofit Oliver with an electric setup. One of those other presenters will love you for it (or hate you).
What a beautiful car
Come to think of it Oliver has a personality. Not a lot of cars are that cool where they could have their own Twitter followers
Christ, interesting video until 4min and then 😑
He needs to live forever! Turn him electric!⚡
Restore him to factory new

The tough shovel noticeably place because handball industrially belong excluding a puzzled snowstorm. fragile, graceful maid
This is adorable, it shows a car doesn’t have to be perfect or new but a car can be about memories, nostalgia and just experiences with the car and people you’re with, thanks for this video

That car has a special place in all our hearts
RALLY OPEL PLEASE!
Restore him to MINT condition, but keep him original!!
classic Oliver for the win, any overpowering adjustmebt on Oliver would look like a bodybuilder with bubble gut...
Rally car, pretty please
Oh please make him factory fresh with the same paint. Its iconic
As much as I'd love to see Oliver factory fresh it would be cool to see him get a peppier engine. A V8 would be going too far though. Would disc brakes be going too far?
Oliver just screams Rustomod to me.
Restore him to stock. Hold some sort of competition and make Oliver the prize along with some on screen time. Just make sure whoever wins him, actually really needs a car. That makes it tricky competition to hold i guess but thats the only meaningful thing you can do with it at this point
Please no purple stuff but you would no best
Needed a Sebastian “Vet-tel”cameo😂
Happy to see Hammond and Oliver together ❤️❤️
I like the v8 idea
Please turn this into a boosted rally racer. Oliver is an angel of a car, he deserves to fly.
you should fully max him out with a V8 from a jag and wheels from a merc just make it like a childhood fantaciy car
Restore him to factory fresh
Has anyone noticed how Richard Hammond is looking more and more like Roger Delgado aka the original master from Doctor who classic
Take it to the boys at Bad obsession motor sports
restore oliver to factory, he should stay the way you got him. He's too special to just change
Whatever you do, don't give him bigger wheels. You'll ruin it.
Mostly restored with better shocks, springs, and sway bars. And Id like to see a Cosworth YTB with a TKO600 in it. Make it a bit more fun to drive but not over do it.
Only factory fresh would do him justice
Hello Richard Hammond ,say hello from Romania 🇷🇴
Bonfire?
Restore the body and interior to factory fresh. Then put an LS in him with a 4 or 5 speed manual transmission. You can never go wrong with a stock looking sleeper ;)
Restore it like it was originally.
make him a monster truck
Make him factory fresh
Make himas he was from factory
Give Oliver to me!! I'll restore him!
Restore him like he rolled off the factory an hour ago and enjoy your Sundays with a car which is better than any Ferrari;)
I think a Restomod would be best. Fitting in a more modern engine, modern suspension and whatever. Mechanically in Top Shape with more modern parts but visually still the same oliver through and through
Factory fresh. It's the only way Hamster. You'd hate yourself if you did anything but.
Make him how he left the factory, and make a special video with Opel about it..
Restore him to the condition he was during the special
And you shot him
He deserves to be made to factory spec again!
OLIVEEEERRRRRR..... I mean i love ya!
Restore to factory on the outside, but make him future proof by converting him to electric. That way we can follow along with the restoration and conversion.
Standard, but keep the horn!
Just repair him! DON'T CHANGE A THING!
Definitely restore Oliver mate. I reckon you would regret changing his character if you modified him.
Factory reset him

I agree with you and welcome to my channel about cars
Restoration of a classic car such as this won’t be boring. Would love to see this car being restored to its former glory
_”Top... Something or other.”_ Richard trying to make BBC crash like he did with the Rimac. _”Night night.”_ Okay. That killed me.
Rich you are more of an off road, rally kind of guy

Right! So you're welcome to my video blog about cars.
He'd make a pretty cool rally car, feels like that's what's in his heart, and it would give Hammond an excuse to actually drive him.
Restore everything to factory spec but , put a cosworth in it

Please don't ruin him. He's amazing the way he is. new gearbox though......maybe.
Give it an electric engine
Restore him to factory stock don't mutilate him!
Factory restoration
Oliver = Yes Opel Mokka = No I would love the classic rally style on him 😁
shameless little bit of opel promotion there. slimy indeed.
Restore it and make it a sleeper slammed with small twin turbos.
Mustang stripes and done
My vote is to keep the body and interior original. But get rid of the motor and put in an electric motor. Electric motor with maybe 50 horsepower and a five-speed. It would be delightful and have plenty of torque. If we can achieve 200 miles of range it would be perfect. It is made to be a get around the town family car with short trips elsewhere.
Amphibious vehicle...
Restore oliver to factory fresh condition and get him a twin brother to convert to a classic rally car (or drag car or drift car or a stance car, anything exciting), get the best of both
I'd say that you only repair what's broken. I wouldnt even restore. Oliver is a friend.
I made a car on Forza horizon 4 look as close to oliver as I could. It's not an opel...I just like oliver a lot. Cool little car.
I'd say fix what's broken but don't overdo it. The soul is in the wear and tear.
make it a rally beast, like the old 2cv it would rock
Please do what I’ve been saying Oliver needs for years. A worked 13B turbo leave the body as is just a diff, some fat tyres, a power glide. Or maybe just a 5 speed & that’s it. He will he SLEEPER OLIVER !
Oliver has been with him since Top gear. Just leave him the way he is. He has been with him since he cured Olivers cold.
Restore him and add a bit more horsepower, not too much however.
Give it to Clarkson to fix up!
STANDARD
Restore it mechanically, and repair the damage done to the door by your mate. But leave the exterior and interior as is. They are its characters and your reminder of its Botswana adventure.
How about electrifying him? People do that to old cars nowadays
You could do some kinda exciting drivetrain swap - maybe the engine and running gear from a written-off Celica GT4?
Factory.
My first car was a 4 door 1967 Opel Kadet, loved that little car so much. It was known as "The Mule".
It’s like an injured wild animal, when you’ve fixed him take him back to his natural habitat, Botswana, and set him free again. Otherwise, stuff and mount him.
Factory fresh! Any other way would be disrespectful to Oliver!
factory fresh is the only way to go. to many beautiful cars are ruined by morons who turn them into custom monstrosities.
my current car is 21 years old. which means it's older than me. i love it the it is. albeit a bit rusty and old and being teased as a S-Box, i love it the way it is. just fix things that's needed to be fixed. besides, it could be a bit easy for you Mr. Hammond. it's hard to refurbish a car in a third world country lol. from me and my Dadu to Richard and Oliver, Happy Valentines Day!
Gonna be that guy. Resto-mod is in order. Keep the same look, but give him fresh internals. A plucky turbocharged 4 cylinder, new manual transmission, independent suspension, disc brakes, the works. While restoring to factory fresh is nice, make something fun to drive without completely losing the essence that is Oliver is a must. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Little Kadett, I salute you.
Restore him
STANDARD!!!!!
Is Richard the illegitimate offspring of Davey Jones (The Monkee's)? LOL
Restore, Restore, Restore Richard!!! 🚗🚗🚗
Restore him to factory spec and enjoy him for what he is, Oliver has earned it and then some.
Love the videos
