Harry Metcalfe has uploaded a review on a rather nice phase 2:

Good video!

Funny enough, Mr GPH and myself were just musing that Harry should revisit the V6...

A very fair review indeed.

Nice to see the V6 getting some good press recently. Best colour too [emoji6]

Recently featured on top gear taxi too

Really enjoyed the review and you can’t get a much better advocate. [emoji1319][emoji1303]

Good watch - I was wondering when HM will get to test a Vee next.

While watching the video I realised that was my other V6 which I sold four years ago. I never drove it that hard though.

Great video.

Nice review.

Underlines lots of the reasons I’d say most of us have one.

I'm getting the impression that the Vee is moving up in the world of prestige classic car dealers. Not quite Tom Hartley yet, but moving.

A certain person from Hartley’s told me the Vee was too interesting to suit their clients. Jokingly he said referring to its handling, it might be bought to get rid of their spoiled brat Sons.

A decent video and fair comments, but I still don't think anyone has captured the best elements of a V6 in a video - going flat out on some B-roads... Probably not something easily done and of course it's never 'their' car in the videos.

Not surprised that he used the opportunity to showcase his 182 Trophy again...

...seems he bet on the wrong horse!

Of course, on a B-road dash, there really is no comparison between the 182 Trophy and the Vee. The 182 Trophy will win hands down.......

Of course it would.

I’m guessing that the next-gen Clio RS would ‘see off’ the 182, and the latest RS faster again. Technology improves and cars are getting better. (As are phones, PCs, kettles and toasters...)

The exception to technological innovation is the mid-engine hot hatch which has failed to improve since the V6255.
; )

What I loved about this video (and notably others that I’ve seen too) is the huge smile raised on the reviewer’s face when the V6 is ‘given the beans’. A proper B road blast would certainly have that effect...

Maybe reviews should be measured in endorphins?

Great video.

Went in and saw Scott on Saturday and interestingly he said despite only having 4000 odd miles, it's definitely not the best condition vee he's seen. The 9000 miler one he had on the ramp, he described as 'perfect'.
