ANDREW HARDY CLASSICS

The Undercover Collector

The Undercover Collector is an original Youtube Series  by Andrew Hardy Classics, dedicated to uncovering the hidden treasures of Britain’s most passionate vehicle and memorabilia enthusiasts. Each episode takes viewers inside private collections, secret sheds, barns, workshops, and garages that are rarely seen by the public. From classic cars and motorcycles to vintage petroliana, quirky artefacts, and long-forgotten relics, the series celebrates the people who preserve automotive history in their own unique way.

Guided by Andrew Hardy’s curiosity and long-standing love for classic machinery, the series blends storytelling, exploration, and genuine human connection. Collectors share the histories behind their prized pieces, the adventures behind remarkable finds, and the personal journeys that shaped their collections.

Whether it’s a meticulously restored classic, a dusty barn find, or an eccentric assortment of automobilia, The Undercover Collector showcases the surprising, the nostalgic, and the extraordinary — proving that every collector has a story, and every story deserves to be told
