Tanya you are so good at capturing the fun and joy of owning and restoring motor cars from the past. You are so lucky to get to go along on the drives through the beautiful English countryside in a classic car ! Ivan and John are living our dreams through the videos you and Susie are making. Have a blessed day each and every one.
She has been utterly flippin' brilliant. Really a great asset to Shed Racing. I agree with every word David. (see my comment above or below). PS You have a blessed day, each and every one too David, because that was a lovely thing to think and say.
Ive trespasses in my old back yard! Lovely to see Brooklands again. I spent a lot of time there, one thing an another..... The key with a any restoration or repair even, in my opinion, is sympathy. That is what John, Ivan and I have in common. I just love watching the work and learning more as the weeks go by. If you like old cars, how can you not love this channel and everybody envolved in it! Tnx all. Bw from Germany. Mike.
I really enjoyed this one Ivan! Your Salmson is a bit more refined than my 1926 Model T speedster, but being a little crude is the American way.😆 Cheers from a shed in Iowa
The Salmson is just like you Ivan, it's still going pretty good, bit stiff in the rear suspension but can still get going when it's given the beans. Another lovely job by Ivan and John in the "shed".
This video has encouraged me to seek out others featuring Salmsons. Bearing in mind Ivan's comments about Marchal headlights being rather over the top for this sort of vehicle, I was rather intrigued to see several vehicles fitted with those lights. A retro fitting perhaps? Of course the twin cam engine brought membership of a rather exclusive club.
Thanks for taking us along for a ride. That engine sounds great and it moves quite nicely. Great idea about the lights in the rear and I would put indicators so the person behind you can see where you want to go. Tanya did a nice job with the camera.
Each week I look forward for my few minutes watching what Ivan is up to! It's the most under rated site on TH-cam! Keep up the great work and we all will keep watching and looking forward to the next one!! Cheers!
I only came across your channel today and have subscribed. Your knowledge, detail and enthusiasm, as well as your generosity in sharing your adventure - the ups and downs - will bring me back here often. My heart was in my mouth watching you driving you Baby Austin racing car faster than I ever saw one move - even when I was a kid and they were almost new. You're a brave man.
PPPS Sorry for so many comments, but it occurred to me Ivan is just like his Salmson, Ancient, but in lovely condition, and very handsome, well looked after and with more performance than you'd think possible... Keeps up well with modern traffic!
It’s nice to see the enthusiasm and passion. The life lived tinkering and racing and the high spirits coming through is all genuine. All the knowledge and the stories makes this one of the most unique youtube channels❤. And the Salmson respectfully brought back to the world for us to admire and covet a little bit😊
Great video and great car Ivan. This is how a car should be kept, alive and maintained so you can use and enjoy it. I really like how you keep it original but with a more modern take where necessary on what it might have a looked like to improve functionality.
A lot of cycle cars have been restored beyond recognition so I think youvé made a very good job on this one. The bonnet catches were also used on british cars like Jaguar, they are great but as you said, fiddely.
Well Ivan, for a splash fed, you're not afraid of giving it some. The build has yours and your Dad's history & knowledge, but with additions that are almost invisible and make good sense. Tell me, Mate... when you drove it, recollecting, How old were you in your mind at the time? I saw a smile ! Cheers from Australia.
I'm really glad that you don't really try to appease the pedantic perfectionists. It's your car and you do a wonderful ,respectful job of restoring motoring history
Love the technical term “ the fuels pissing out “ from the camera lady 😂great to see you have saved it as I remember you bringing it back from Portugal.
Hi I saw you get a mention on Dominic Chinea's channel and I'm really looking forward to looking through your videos. I hope he goes up to your place and films a tour.
This is the one I have been waiting for and it certainly doesn't disappoint. Even by 1926 Salmsons were showing signs of the small luxury vehicle they would become. Incidentally., does it have a differential or a solid rear axle?
"They're never finished". Can almost hear "Amen" resounding throughout the classic car world. Only thing missing on the old gal is an easily accessible fire extinguisher, as Brooklands segment illustrated. Couldn't make out what Ivan was going on about over those straight cut gears!
For those who may be interested, the Brooklands Museum has a very similar car to this. A video has been posted which shows a vehicle which sports a more rounded radiator It has a most similar tail An S U carburettor has been fitted
Car looks great, but tell me the secret of not getting a bug in the eye with out goggles,l can't go 20 feet without some bug trying to take me out. Keep up the great work great work
Nice video. The car looks great. Plenty of info for old car owners and prospective restorers. Always good to research what actually was done, as opposed to what people are encouraging you to do. I won’t get Ivan started on chrome plating of Bugatti suspension parts or … maybe I should😂?
I love your channel and your attitude to restoration Ivan. Perfect factory originality is fine but parts have always been changed and modernised during the life of a car to make them more user friendly, so why stop now.
@@paulhitchcock9760 Well I suppose that explains why so many models had timber and canvas bodies. The Austin Seven did that fall inside or outside the category? and when did the three wheel rule come into play??
@@davidprocter3578 British taxation was utterly different. £1 for each horsepower was payable annually. A lot of money then and this basis for motor taxation tended to produce vehicles with unduly long stroke cylinders. Three wheelers were regarded much like motorcycles and were not supposed to be equipped with reverse gear! They could be driven on a motorcycle licence.
@@paulhitchcock9760 The no reverse gear rule still applied in the 1970's many drivers of Reliants disabled the cars reverse gear in order to drive them on a motor cycle ticket. But at that time you would require a full licence to drive a Salmson on the road, at what point did cars with four wheels stop being included in the cycle car category. I remember in the early seventies having to go to Tollworth to tax my bikes.which varied in tax class depending on engine size.
For the casual viewers, hit thumbs up if you like the video. 1,000 thumbs up after 10,000 views, is a ratio not reflected by your viewing pleasure. Let’s get Shed Racing growing !
PPS. I've seen her foot, but that's not quite good enough. Oh, and I think you should add 'Ivan Dutton' to the channel name. I think you can do that without altering anything substantial, and keeping all settings as they are, because people probably still don't know you have this channel but know your name, and we all know you should be over a million subs by now. (I'll never forgive that other chap for mucking things up..)

Great that you made the seats adjustable for your grand daughter , good old grandad .
beautifully done as are all your cars not over done just bloody nice , well done one and all
I thought that was a Komode under the seat, when you lifted the seat squab out! 🤭 What a lovely motor Ivan.
Dog bowl was my guess.
That's nostalgia, having to talk over the gearbox whine. 😄

Love watching your video!
The car looks great
The finished results were well worth all the time and effort that went into it. Well done shed racing.
What an Amazing car. Great example of the wonderful British craftsmanship. Long may it continue. Great video. Cheers Ivan.

What's not to like, again. Lovely.
Having a drive with Ivan in that lovely vehicle is now oficially on my bucketlist :)
Another great Ivan project so glad you put this on you tube for us all to enjoy 👍🇦🇺
What a gem of a motor. Great filming by the ladies. Great work by you Ivan and John
yooo, nice to see the car at brooklands, how poetic

What a lovely car! Of course it doesn't want to start on its big debut at the wonderful Brooklands. Cheers from over the pond in Alberta, Canada!

Forgive me but I did wonder if you could be confusing this Salmson with an Austin Seven? The radiators are a bit similar in appearance.
Excellent! Thank you for updating your Salmson improvements and the car’s history.
Love the wooden frame and those splendid electrics. Electrics let down so many vehicles but you have a wonderful eye for under bonnet service lines.
I think it’s beautiful and beyond any contradiction, well done I can’t imagine owning such a piece of engineering art 👍
PPPS Sorry for so many comments, but it occurred to me Ivan is just like his Salmson,
Ancient, but in lovely condition, and very handsome, well looked after and with more performance than you'd think possible... Keeps up well with modern traffic!
Thanks Ivan a really brilliant informative video.SHED RACING IS BACKTO FULL PETROL HEAD MODE 🇬🇧
Ivan, grow up one day, no don't bother, you are great, original, and a treasure, keep it up sir.
A very interesting episode - thanks! My fave stuff in your podcasts is about the pre-war and Edwardian machines; keep it up!
Nice old thing, and the cars prety good too!

Fully reworked, without being over-restored. Well thought out, and , a driver. What a great car. You should be proud! Love it. Izzy Strong,,,,,
I'm really glad that you don't really try to appease the pedantic perfectionists. It's your car and you do a wonderful ,respectful job of restoring motoring history
😀😀😀 well done
Very fine job and an absolutely beautiful car.
I had never known I was interested in Salmson vehicle history. Cheers and thanks from Australia mate.

Cracking little car Ivan.
Best wishes, Dean.
Great car! Great drive!
What a Gem 💎 thanks for sharing your Sampson always positive and puts a spring our step when sorting out some solutions with our tinkering 👌
This is my kind of restoration, I love it
An Edwardian floozy magnet . . . & his red two-seat sports car . . . Careful gal, careful : )
Very tasteful and respectful resto preservation..well done
Brilliant stuff, Thanks team
It is a beautiful car and a very lovely fellow thanks 😊
Mr. Hulot took his Salmson to the seaside.
M. Hulot's car is about as big a contrast with this crisp brisk machine as can be imagined.
Always a pleasure, thank you for sharing.
A very interesting car and an excellent video Ivan and Tanya. Keep them coming. 👏😁
Pure character. Smashing !
When Ivan lifted the front seat and revealed a shiny pan I thought for a minute it was a commode.
Absolute perfection.
Lovely job Ivan!
Smashing !

Absolutely marvellous
Top notch Ivan, you did the right thing!
Keep up the good work ❤

Absolutely lovely!!...👍👍👍🗽🇺🇸
Perfect antidote to sh1te on tv, social media etc. This man is pure gold.
For those who may be interested, the Brooklands Museum has a very similar car to this. A video has been posted which shows a vehicle which sports a more rounded radiator It has a most similar tail An S U carburettor has been fitted
Well worth a watch!
Car looks great, but tell me the secret of not getting a bug in the eye with out goggles,l can't go 20 feet without some bug trying to take me out. Keep up the great work great work
The commode under the seat must be very handy.

According to the automatic subtitles the sound of a Salmson churning over on the starter is *[Laughter]* 😁
My grandad Les White worked in the Salmson factory and used to race Skirrows. Do you happen to know or remember him?
Ivan, that is goddamn beautiful.
Hi Ivan, where have you been? really looking forward to some more from you soon.
I love your channel and your attitude to restoration Ivan. Perfect factory originality is fine but parts have always been changed and modernised during the life of a car to make them more user friendly, so why stop now.
Question. Why does the Salmson fall in the cyclecar group?
Cyclecars were defined as being of less than 1100cc and a certain weight. For this they paid less tax
Low weight and cubic capacity which brought a tax reduction

The "Salmson Pink" colour is very appropriate!
Will you be attending the Beaulieu autojumble again?
Of course ….
Then I shall say hello! look out for a short fat grey bearded old bloke! @@suziepilkington5600
You could say the original nickle plating is under the chrome 😂😂😂
PS Ivan, can we see Tanya? She is part of the family now. Plus I'm having the odd fantasy about driving her around in the Salmson.
I think you should have put the fitted bed pan on passengers side All the best peter
Hi Ivan I've just put that number plate into my phone for a vehicle check and it came back as a blue 🔵 Morris 💬🤔
What did he say about the UA flag?
When are we going to see Tania?
Shit. Piss. Bugger. Love it😅
Three "bugger"s, two "piss"s and a"shit" inside 4 minutes - reminds me of my days up at Oxford...😂
One of them did go to Oxford!
@@paulhitchcock9760 There you go - breeding tells...😉
Apologies for my potty mouth !
@@suziepilkington5600 ❤️
That car can sure go but can it stop quickly if you need to ? another great video thank you both i hope your still alive haha.
Ivan your Susie has a lovely way of saying The fuel is pissing out Magic.
I think maybe we should have edited it out !!
@@suziepilkington5600 Don't you dare.
Did you that Rexene was made by taking a low explosive mixture of cellulose nitrate and cloth. It was made by Rexine corporation in the UK.
That Tanya's a proper gurl.
The Samson was shy about being seen in public!
Love it... Great job on the video Tanya.
Of course nitrocellulose is rather prone to burning rapidly such as gun cotton.
PPS. I've seen her foot, but that's not quite good enough.
