Love this series,he is obviously just a lad who hasnt let money and fame get to him.he seems so down to earth and very clued up.
I have to say he looks like he has got a very very nice house
But where has he made his money from? He obviously has a fair bit of it.

I really like Guy Martin. Most of his programmes are very watchable and the bloke has got a down to earth way about him. He is also one hell of a bike racer. On a properly running bike I reckon he would have smashed his time. His video of him firing up his own Spitfire engine is worth a watch.

He was still a lorry mechanic not so long ago!

This was 4 years ago but still interesting to see his frame of mind.

Interesting reading that article seeing that he didn't plan to sell the Aston but he later sold it losing a huge amount of money on it and replaced it with his Volvo Amazon.
