Farmer continues his day-to-day responsibilities while running his popular ‘Harry’s Garage’ YouTube channel.
For all car enthusiasts, there is a specific model that holds a special place just as the passion and fascination towards any car started. Although most agree that it will be a poster car Ferrari F40 or Lamborghini County, for British farmer Harry Metcalfe, Porsche stands at the top of his love for 930 Turbo S cars. Now recognized as a successful automotive YouTube star with over 500,000 subscribers, Metcalfe began his life as an aspiring engineer born into a family of hardworking farmers. Before starting Harry’s Garage, the 63-year-old spent all his time running a 122-hectare farm in the English countryside, dedicating a small portion of his earnings to his car collection.

Harry’s obsession with car collections led to the purchase of his first Porsche, a black 993-generation 911 turbo that was used only as a daily driver after co-financing Evomagazine in 1998. The hobby of acquiring rare Porsche examples quickly became a secondary profession, as the British motoring press blew up its growing garage, which has now been converted into an early Porsche 930 and another 993 Turbo a GT2 spec. After searching for the perfect example to compliment his fleet, Harry Metcalfe finally found a unique 1998 Porsche 911 Turbo in late 2021, courtesy of carmaker Sonderwunsch’s personalization program. The Guardsred 930 Turbo S features a Group-4-inspired front spoiler with an updated oil cooler, quad exhaust and 959 seat and steering wheel. The car left the factory with a 17-inch RUF alloy and a 3.4-liter. The motorsport engine produces more than 400 horsepower. The new addition to Harry Metcalfe’s collection now holds the title of his most valuable asset, even appearing in Harry’s garage during a 1,250-mile journey through southern Europe. Harry Metcalfe explains his love for the Porsche 930 Turbo S, saying that “you can handle or refine perfectly, but sometimes the car you want to own is weird in nature.” Click on the link below to see all of the current Porsche 911 Turbo S for sale in Dupont Registry.
