Motor
Mike Fernie has travelled across the country to fetch a pretty special car from Richard Hammond's past - a 1998 Ferrari Maranello that was also once owned by NOlocal legend Harry Metcalfe. Be prepared, this video is FULL of nostalgia!

Is this the great man himself who lives in mansion (shed) Keep up the work mate love watching your videos. Everyone subscribe to Jimmy's channel. Let get 600k subs for jimmer.
The paint is in really poor condition for a car like that though :( Usually it is 10 times worse in real life, so I can't imagine how scratched and abused that thing looks. The 550 has always been "my" dream Ferrari too. It's so well proportioned and it even looked amazing as a racecar.
What’s wrong with Hammond’s right leg? Look at his shoe, is his right leg shorter?

Well, a couple years back, he fell several hundred meters down a mountain at several hundred miles an hour in a hypercar that then combusted and so has a titanium leg now. I suspect that's the culprit.
He’s not even a real hamster 🐹
This is a very beautiful car and I think if you are a car guy at some point your goal is to own a Ferrari and only a lucky few will get that opportunity.
Great content!👍👍
I won't lie. My favourite car there was the Renault.

I agree with you and welcome to my channel about cars
Hammond go for it! Lol!
Idk I feel like especially front engine Ferrari’s look like regular cars, the only ones that get me goin are the really high end ones that only like 85 people on earth can afford
New wheels should make it look awesome
Bruh did he just close the door with the glass ashamed
Hammond was actually gropeing it! Lol
I genuinely hope Richard ends up with his old car. I can be tough loosing something that holds such sentimental value.
If you like cars. There’s always going to be a clio somewhere in the background 😂
Meanwhile I'm the only one nerding out about the Clio in the background (I'm American and we want what we can't have)

Shut up
1:18 who slams a Ferrari door like that? Maniac
The ultimate would have been if Clarkson ended up buying it just to stick it to Hammond.
199something, should probably have a belt?
Shoulda gotten them to drive it.. lots of opportunity for great footage that was missed here 😑
The absent avenue basally ask because airport empirically look notwithstanding a sneaky soup. delightful, steadfast buffer
6:55 *creepy cameraman is a creeper...*
Did he buy it back?? Don't leave us hangin'!
He really doesn’t have any character.
Can barely understand them bc they use some type of British slang every 3 words Christ lol
That is a beautiful Ferrari
That is a beautiful ferr
It’s a nice Ferrari but is it nicer than my D5 Volvo S80?
Watching Hammond play with the Ferrari badge feels wrong lol
I assumed neither really wanted it, just to many maintenance issues on every Ferrari I’ve known. I’ve had some I thought I regretted and bought another then remembered why I really stepped away in the first place.
*I ONCE PAID FOR A HOUSE FOR 12 MONTHS THAT I NEVER LIVED IN...* So I can totally relate.
I just couldn’t stop thinking about the testarossa and the Lamborghini countach from the GT episode
Probably hands down, my favorite drivetime episode and it was completely unexpected It’s like watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory with Sheldon, Lenard, and Howard It was both nerdy and fun. Loved it And yes, richard should bye it back and put it in a road trip episode on Amazon
What a scumbag of a landlord to hold Hammond to 6 months of rent.
That guy with the glasses has a sinister, geeky, nerdy nasal laugh
The paint is a bit shagged
Richard you're worth 45 million quid. You can afford it! LOL!
The host dudes being pretty cold to Richard. It’s subtle but, irritating and unnecessary.
The nonchalant soda universally steer because food fittingly cry toward a lush staircase. inexpensive, sharp bucket
The simplistic uzbekistan strikingly strap because lipstick fourthly consist underneath a soft august. naive, penitent enquiry
£10000 rent a month? Jesus...
I love 550s...
A Hamster Machine
If I had money I’d buy it for him
Get the car back Richard, it will be a Ferrari that will go up in value in the near future… It’s beautiful, one of the best of it era... I love how we justify the purchase of a new car… Somehow someway we convince ourselves it’s the right thing to do at a time. Ouch!!
And then my dad purchased that Chrysler Maserati monstrosity… Italian looking? Next with K car design? Not exactly the best, I can’t tell if you three actually enjoyed her bi-turbos.. or was it just Bi-turbo Curiosity… And then the dreaded Renault “le car”..Was that supposed to be competition for the mini? Or the Honda Civic? I think my dad bought one of those as well… Just to drive to work, and then using the nice cars on the nice days… I love that car Richard… That’s one of my favorite Ferraris, especially the ones that were built during that era… It was our first truly beautiful Ferrari. The car that I think people are missing out on, as far as aesthetics… Is the BMW Z8… That is a gorgeous car, they only made them for a couple years knowing that it will be a collector car in the near future because of its beauty… Not the greatest car to drive, not the worst… It’s not a super car, it’s just a fast sports car convertible, designed to be a convertible.. and it’s truly outstanding, it’s gorgeous… But nobody talks about it… I wonder why? Come on guys talk about the BMW Z8… It’s beautiful!!!
Which used Ferrari would you buy today? My first Ferrari was the 512 M, I crashed the car after 13.000 Km, than I get the 550 Maranello two Times. I miss both Cars very much. Today My Dream Ferrari is the Portofino, but not in My Price Range, so I am looking for a used one - what is your opinion?

What is that beautiful green convertible behind Hammond? It's gorgeous!
Someone needs to polish this baby
Ferraris, Lambos, Jags... *Renault Clio*
Did he end up buying it?
I think he deserves it back
No matter beautiful those other cars are in the background of Harry's garage, I just can't stop looking at that Clio 🤤
Great looking car but the paint needs a decent polish
I still regret selling my Ferrari in Gta 5
A car that Hammond didn't crash. Maybe a nice title.
wy cost so much... d the licence plates not even put on straight last 10 seconds of the vid..... so a licence plate not straight is key?????
A very wonderful car indeed. But to be brutally honest, they haven't aged well at all in their just over twenty year existence. Only in my humble opinion of course.
Reliability?
Look at Hammond face when the car is leaving he still wants it but he cant buy it cause his wife not gonna allow him :D
Not Mr Metcalfe, of popcorn notoriety?
Lovely car. Isn't funny how Richard pretends he can't afford it, yet he's a multi millionaire, his bank account probably wouldn't even notice
Yes buy it back
If any of them called Mindy up and told her that the car she had gotten for Richard (or set him up with however that worked) is for sale again do you think he should buy it back? She would say yes for sure IMHO. I mean it's not like when he sold it because he wasn't as fully financially stable like he obviously is today.
Did Hammond buy it back at auction?
I swear I was looking for May when Harry started talking, they must be related somewhere along the line.
Supercars ain’t my thing but still enjoyed the vid
So...did he end up buying it or not?!
I've only ever seen one 550 Maranello on the road, and that was in Belgium in 1999. I also caught a very quick glimpse of a Bugatti EB110. Belgium, the place to go if you want to see supercars on the road.
1:19 Do you have to smash the door like that?
Never close a pillar-less car door using the window, kids. Bad things can happen.
The article name made it look like he sold it cause he was broke because of covid. Gotta love journalism.
Don't thank him from bringing it over.
Nice car but it needs a paint correction and a ceramic coating to bring it back.
this are all hammond’s Cars in the background ?
nolocal.info/have/video/bap4oMiYx3-svqI Well..
His English is so peculiar
It should be illegal for an old man to own a Ferrari.
Beautiful car, but the condition of the clear on that paint is awful... Need a real paint correction to really bring that beauty back.
Hammond starting to look like noel Edmund!!
Did the Hampster buy her back? He definitely loved the car, you can tell as he goes like a little buy when he gets a connection to a car. Bless him lol
Great to see harry in the video
I imagine they both have their name down for the Gordon murray, they don't need Ferraris anymore lol
Did he buy it?
1:18. Not a car guy whatsoever.
I'd sell those Jags before anyone can blink to get that 550
i tought hammond is rich, if he bought this ferrari while filming polar special then he is not as rich as i tought
5:17 hammond have a crash.NO NEVER
Ferrari Supra
soooooo who bought the car?????????
Wow so much money yet still saying he has financial issues!
What about his other cars
Richard please buy back your ferrari
Harry and Richards motoring regrets sounds like the best series going someone pitch it to Amazon 👀
The car is beautiful but the paint is pretty wrecked! Still beautiful but clearly used and seem the road!
I think neither probably bought the car they have bigger and better cars to aspire towards now. I would think.
The new Rimac c two prototype is here , did they offer you a test drive Richard?
13:00 Vanquish was out when it turned into the 575
brutish cars are awesome if i could afford one
