Over the past couple of years, Richard Hammond has been neglecting his Opel Kadett, Oliver. So just before the worst of the British winter rolled in, Richard took the opportunity to check in on his Okavango Delta-smiting friend.

1.5k dislikes ? blasphemy ! i see that top...something got all employes , family, friends and total number of viewers to hit that button .
Full on rally car
Just leave it in the museum of the trios own brand of car journalism along with other stuff - instant tourism business
Restore it!
No
Ah, but unlike all the thousands upon thousands of other makes and models of cars, Oliver even has his own song (here's the chorus): "Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army is on their way And i would rather be anywhere else But here today." Take that, you posh, hoity-toity, namby-pamby sports cars :P
Oliver is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Purple, and a V8, richard? That'd be idiotic, you'd ruin the nice handling characteristics of such a light car. Restore to factory all the way.
Resto-mod . Make him look stock outside but have a much more powerful engine and updated suspension and breaks for a better performance
Find a nice pasture to put him in... forever!
Retro rally aaaallllll the way💪👍
yes please! Retro Ralley Car!!!!!!! Or original thing, keeping him as he is!
I’m on the restore to factory side but if you still want something special maybe replace the petrol engine and retrofit Oliver with an electric setup. One of those other presenters will love you for it (or hate you).
What a beautiful car
Come to think of it Oliver has a personality. Not a lot of cars are that cool where they could have their own Twitter followers
Christ, interesting video until 4min and then 😑
He needs to live forever! Turn him electric!⚡
Restore him to factory new
0:32
The tough shovel noticeably place because handball industrially belong excluding a puzzled snowstorm. fragile, graceful maid
This is adorable, it shows a car doesn’t have to be perfect or new but a car can be about memories, nostalgia and just experiences with the car and people you’re with, thanks for this video
That car has a special place in all our hearts
RALLY OPEL PLEASE!
Restore him to MINT condition, but keep him original!!
classic Oliver for the win, any overpowering adjustmebt on Oliver would look like a bodybuilder with bubble gut...
Rally car, pretty please
Oh please make him factory fresh with the same paint. Its iconic
As much as I'd love to see Oliver factory fresh it would be cool to see him get a peppier engine. A V8 would be going too far though. Would disc brakes be going too far?
Oliver just screams Rustomod to me.
Restore him to stock. Hold some sort of competition and make Oliver the prize along with some on screen time. Just make sure whoever wins him, actually really needs a car. That makes it tricky competition to hold i guess but thats the only meaningful thing you can do with it at this point
Please no purple stuff but you would no best
Needed a Sebastian “Vet-tel”cameo😂
Happy to see Hammond and Oliver together ❤️❤️
I like the v8 idea
Please turn this into a boosted rally racer. Oliver is an angel of a car, he deserves to fly.
you should fully max him out with a V8 from a jag and wheels from a merc just make it like a childhood fantaciy car
Restore him to factory fresh
Has anyone noticed how Richard Hammond is looking more and more like Roger Delgado aka the original master from Doctor who classic
Take it to the boys at Bad obsession motor sports
restore oliver to factory, he should stay the way you got him. He's too special to just change
Whatever you do, don't give him bigger wheels. You'll ruin it.
Mostly restored with better shocks, springs, and sway bars. And Id like to see a Cosworth YTB with a TKO600 in it. Make it a bit more fun to drive but not over do it.
Only factory fresh would do him justice
Hello Richard Hammond ,say hello from Romania 🇷🇴
Bonfire?
Restore the body and interior to factory fresh. Then put an LS in him with a 4 or 5 speed manual transmission. You can never go wrong with a stock looking sleeper ;)
Restore it like it was originally.
make him a monster truck
Make him factory fresh
Make himas he was from factory
Give Oliver to me!! I'll restore him!
Restore him like he rolled off the factory an hour ago and enjoy your Sundays with a car which is better than any Ferrari;)
I think a Restomod would be best. Fitting in a more modern engine, modern suspension and whatever. Mechanically in Top Shape with more modern parts but visually still the same oliver through and through
Factory fresh. It's the only way Hamster. You'd hate yourself if you did anything but.
Make him how he left the factory, and make a special video with Opel about it..
Restore him to the condition he was during the special
And you shot him
He deserves to be made to factory spec again!
OLIVEEEERRRRRR..... I mean i love ya!
Restore to factory on the outside, but make him future proof by converting him to electric. That way we can follow along with the restoration and conversion.
Standard, but keep the horn!
Just repair him! DON'T CHANGE A THING!
Definitely restore Oliver mate. I reckon you would regret changing his character if you modified him.
Factory reset him
I agree with you and welcome to my channel about cars
Restoration of a classic car such as this won’t be boring. Would love to see this car being restored to its former glory
_”Top... Something or other.”_ Richard trying to make BBC crash like he did with the Rimac. _”Night night.”_ Okay. That killed me.
Rich you are more of an off road, rally kind of guy
Right! So you're welcome to my video blog about cars.
He'd make a pretty cool rally car, feels like that's what's in his heart, and it would give Hammond an excuse to actually drive him.
Restore everything to factory spec but , put a cosworth in it
Right! So you're welcome to my video blog about cars.
Please don't ruin him. He's amazing the way he is. new gearbox though......maybe.
Give it an electric engine
Restore him to factory stock don't mutilate him!
Factory restoration
Oliver = Yes Opel Mokka = No I would love the classic rally style on him 😁
shameless little bit of opel promotion there. slimy indeed.
