I've been watching Iain for some time now, but I've never seen a video giving a complete tour of his shop. Well done, Gary, for getting us a tour. I've only just started watching you today and will continue to watch all your videos from now on.
Sake the cameraperson, ask open ended questions and listen. Pity that you looked at every car apart from Harry's Garage - Iain is a gentleman. Thanks for giving us an update from his workshop Gary.
Iain's Garage is a rare and very interesting viewing, many very rare cars that you will not see anywhere in the UK. Gary again another great video, hope many more follow!
Hello Gary, I have watched Harry’s garage for a long time and because of Harry’s regular visits to Iain Tyrell that started me watching Tyrell’s classic cars. I find Iain a very knowledgeable guy and similar to you he does go into a lot of detail. I loved your visit to Iain Tyrell’s garage and all those gorgeous cars.
Great video, but let's be honest, that V12 XJS is to die for. Think I saw one in Tyrell's parking lot some episodes ago too. It has aged remarkably well, especially the Euro version without the extended bumpers that you see here in the States.
Two of my favourtie TH-cam car chaps! With the 6.9 and all other variants of that range I much prefer the velour fabric to the leather. It feels richer and more comfortable. Back at the start of the eighties when I was at college in Exeter the local merc dealer had an SLC in stock in the most beautiful antique gold paint with dark green velour interior. Forty one years later I can still see it in my minds eye!
A fantastic tour, what a privilege to look around. That e-type Jag, as kids there was one parked outside the town hairdresser and we used to peer into it and marvel at the 160mph speedo : )
What always fascinated me about the E-Type, was the Tubular Steel Construction of the Front - End, all simply bolted to the Firewall. I often thought that the design didn't look rigid enough, and would therefore 'flex'. There are special people in this world who deserve respect in the Classic Car World. Two of them are here together. Greetings from Australia.
Fabvideo, i'm a fan of both channels and never miss an episode. I'm always a bit surprised that Iain does everything inside the same workshop. metalwork, trimming and engine rebuilds, - and with jet engines blowing in dust from outside. He is however, an amazing engineer and very likeable to boot. Thanks Gary.
Lovely to see 2 of my favourites on the same bill! Iain, you did get it wrong with the Aston Martin DBS comments. OHMSS used two Series 1 DBS cars: Chassis # 5109 and 5234. They both had the early, aluminum "Sharkmouth," Dunlop wire wheels, Olive paint with black Vaumol leather, and the venerable 6 cylinder engine. Persuaders! DBS was a Series 2 DBS 6 cylinder with the awful glassfibre front spoiler, painted Bahama Yellow. They fitted the alloy wheels and badging to make it look like the V8 (still not ready at the time of filming), but it was just a S2 DBS. You can easily spot a S1 DBS from a S2 by: S1 had the side gills on the rear B Pillar just behind the rear quarterglass. S2 cars had the louvred just behind the back window, and no side gills. S1 cars have only 1 layer of stainless sill covers where the S2 had 2 piece, deeper sill covers. There are so many details on the differences between S1 and S2 DBS cars that I could write a book. Dudley Gershon wrote in his wonderful book about how they stuffed a V8 in an early bodied DBS and took it to LeMans. Performed very well. After building a Sharkmouth panel, I can see why they dropped it as it is a very, very complicated piece and extremely expensive to make. I just love the look of the early cars, and have a buck that I made in case a reader wants to convert their S2 DBS back tot he earlier type. Cheers, Tom
I heard that about the XJS too, engine in back, that’s why they designed in the flying buttresses to help better support the weight of the engine out back
I try think the change of heart back to a front engined saloon car was something to do with the us wanting to ban two seater convertible cars due to a high number of crash deaths but the bill was never passed. Regards
The RHB demonstrator for his handling kit was a R reg green Silver Shadow 2, I owned it for a short period and was well impressed with the overall improvement of the handling. VUB were the first three letters of the reg, do wish I had hung onto it.
So ? What do we reckon the value of that garage is from what’s in there in this vid ? (Working on the basis that each car has been fully restored to tip top condition) ?
20:49 you just created an ironic Irony, you have the car from Ronin next to what is basically the DIRECTORS car from Ronin, he had one, the roller equvalent and used it for many many years, and would stipulate that it get shipped out with him to film shoots and his wife still has it
In the early '70s, DBS Aston Martins had fuel injection, on the i6 and V8. Those long curved inlet tracts at 13:30 look splendid.... so why did the later cars go back to Webers?
Like you realise , a Rolls isn’t made to drive like a Ferrari . I assume the Citroen green balls are part of the self levelling, I think , only on the rear . Hence the ‘ Magic Carpet Ride ‘ .which brings me to my absolute favourite car DS 23 efi , let’s hope you tackle one of those in the future .😊
FWIW The Harvey Bailey kit made my Bentley S1 handle much better without affecting ride quality. I can take on ramps/off ramps at modern car speed (pretty much) without much body roll at all. It makes the car more drivable as a "car" in modern traffic.
On the Rolls suspension kit, Gary. You might have considered changing the shocks only to the Bilstein type used in the conversion. I think Harry Metcalfe did that to his “Arctic Rolls” on Harry’s garage , better damping but ride still good. If you GO the whole kit it might be a bigger transition to the ride . However , we’ll see how you find the change next video .
Thanks Martin. Yes I’ve ordered a new set as I thought my old shocks would be a little worse for wear and would compromise the new ride kit. Good job I did as you’ll see in the next video. Was really good to get Iain’s take on it all before I embarked on the fitting. He’s very knowledgeable and entertaining and I trust his judgement. Always like a kid in a toy shop every time I visit. A labyrinth of dream cars and quality workmanship. Regards.
Hey Gary Lad ! Another great video. I've read all the comments below and have to say - you cant please everyone so please yourself and the majority. I enjoyed the conversation with Ian and yourself while going through each car (and the tractor !) some real interesting details when walking round about each motor and love the fact that your being yourself. I've learned stuff today from watching this today and enjoyed the full 30 mins - keep up the good work Lad and cant wait to see the next episode ...! Cheers Stew
I had a silver shadow with standard suspension wafted along, then bought a Bentley T1 but it didn't ride as nice as the rolls, then found out the Bentley had been fitted with rolls royce sport suspension, i think Harvey Bailey surplied Ruined the ride Drove like a granada Evertime I gave someone a ride in it expecting it to be like a magic carpet I had to explain its been fitted with uprated suspension I sold it, now I have a 75 LWB with standard suspension as intended
White was a very popular colour for the E types and other Jaguars in the 60s and 70s but everyone repainted them red. Somehow Mark Evans lost a load of money on the S2 drophead he restored for his DVD series 15 years ago… that one went from white to red.
I think white or black for an E TYPE. PORSCHE Look good in duck egg blue. DB4 5. Look good in California sage green FERRARIS In red. Corina 1600 E. Aubergine.
Ironically, I love my Shadows (4 door) more than my Rolls Royce Corniche! The Shadows are more solidly/sturdy built and drive better/handle better accordingly!
I’ve heard about the XJS design being developed for mid engine set up.but the idea was dropped probably as a cost cutting exercise. Surprised Iain didn’t know.
You say your happy with the ride then why risk changing it your car sat well as you say handled well around corners!!! , as for sleeping police men I want it to waft up and down as it goes over that's part of the experience, I was even considering changing mine over from Harvey Bailey to standard
@@classic.obsession I think the green 'rat' XKSS was originally white? but McQueen when being chased by the LAPD on mudholland always had these colours so when he 'DISAPEARED" in a dust cloud, they raced straight past when he pulled off!!! how cool is that ehh!, he also had a rear light switch on that 911 76 turbo carrera which as you know was the fastest saleable production car on the planet? that gave him the 'who cares who's behind' lights off!!! haha, thats why the KING OF COOL always had slates and greens on his cars!! I mean you're a famous actor but imagine the most famous actor in the world doing this stuff!!! THE KING OF COOL!! BEAUTIFUL EHH!!
..... at 2:00 "successful actor & singing artist entertaining audiences all over the world" ??? a touch of the 'emperors new clothes' if you don't mind me saying. I viewed him singing at some Lamborghini event many years ago, a record deal was not clinched at that event ! Superb at what he does but better of with a ratchet in his hand rather than a microphone :-)
The pound is 'tanking' as you put due to the self servicing Chancellor and that excuse of a PM Truss inflicting yet more harm on our country in the chaos that was a mini budget, Thankfully the B of E could see the cliff edge approaching and put the brakes on. So your suggestion is all hobbies and interests are shelved whilst we all watch the latest U turns / vehicles reversing nonsense from the Tories in Birmingham ? No pal, we will be guided by you if you would like to update us all here,,,,,,,,,,,,
Might've been a half dozen people watching this who are actually interested in an after market suspension kit for a Rolls, for the rest of us it was a complete waste of nine minutes we'll never get back. I am a fan of Iain Tyrrell's YT site, CO-GM, not so much.
Do not watch then simple .You must be a busy person if nine minutes make a difference .Why not get out of bed nine minutes earlier in the morning to make up. I bet your the type of person that goes for meal eats all of it then complains wanting a refund
Great technical discussion by two of my favorite classic “nerds’ who happen to have the best hair on TH-cam. Well done gents.
Original unrestored vs restomoded
I've been watching Iain for some time now, but I've never seen a video giving a complete tour of his shop.
Well done, Gary, for getting us a tour.
I've only just started watching you today and will continue to watch all your videos from now on.
What an absolute gem of an episode thank you both for taking the time to put this together !!
Iain is an amazing man. Singing, acting, engineering...whatever he does, it's done to perfection. Great entertainment from two great guys.
Sake the cameraperson, ask open ended questions and listen. Pity that you looked at every car apart from Harry's Garage - Iain is a gentleman. Thanks for giving us an update from his workshop Gary.
If you want to see Harry’s car, he has his own content and channel!

Thanks Thomas! Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if there was nothing left to learn?!! Regards.
Walks straight past Harry’s Countach 😂
Really enjoyed that Gary, I have watched all of Ian’s videos
Brilliant to watch two dedicated men too classics cars have a chat 👍
I'm happy that you made some comments on the 6.9, always been my absolute favorite.
I’ll maybe revisit one of my 600’s in an upcoming episode, which I think were Mercedes masterpiece model. Thanks for watching Nik. Regards.
Yet again, a fantastic programme. It was just a joy to watch from start to finish. Loving this channel. Well done.
Tyrell entertained with singing and acting all over the world (2 minute mark). Wow, what a career.
Great show Gary precise and insightful easy going with drama with stars being the cars
Well done !
This is a wonderful series, your passion shines through
Just 2 established men talking about their passion......fantastic !
Hi Gary love the videos BUT we need more! When I want to relax I put on one of your vids and just sit back and enjoy! Keep up the great work.
That Jaguar is one of the most beautiful cars from it’s era. What a stunning beauty.
That was enjoyable. Another car channel you might enjoy is Richard Michael Owen Jaguar. He just restored an XK150.
A great video from two very passionate car guys.💪💪💪💪
Thank you for a great video. 👍🏻👍🏻😊
That XJS is looking so damn good. K&D

New to the channel.....love your attitude....looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos.
Some amazing vehicles there and great craftsmanship. Good to see. I recommend subscribing to Iain's TH-cam channel.
Es de los mejores canales de este tipo. Mil gracias por compartir tu arte; no dejes de hacerlo. Saludos…
Loved it thanks Gary keep them coming mate a big hi from New Zealand

Excellent
Surprised that the master cylinder in the wheel well in the Muira doesn’t get it’s plastic cap broken by rocks from time to time.
Great video. Awesome content.

Ruined the ride
Drove like a granada
Evertime I gave someone a ride in it expecting it to be like a magic carpet
I had to explain its been fitted with uprated suspension
I sold it, now I have a 75 LWB with standard suspension as intended
What you need to do know is go and visit Harry's 👍
Great episode as usual Gary!
Very hands on on with other peoples cars.
White was a very popular colour for the E types and other Jaguars in the 60s and 70s but everyone repainted them red.

like the 450SEL 6.9
and of course the Mira's never seen one in blue
Ironically, I love my Shadows (4 door) more than my Rolls Royce Corniche! The Shadows are more solidly/sturdy built and drive better/handle better accordingly!
Yes, had a Shadow 1 some years back and adored it.
I think I would prefer the corniche. Better looking car. In my humble opinion. 👌
Lulu’s Merc! That’s nothing, I had Jordan’s 911 turbo, bought for her by Dwight Yorke 🤔🤣🤣🤣
I’ve heard about the XJS design being developed for mid engine set up.but the idea was dropped probably as a cost cutting exercise.
Surprised Iain didn’t know.
I’ve read it was a rumor and maybe Iain was being nice
Iain put on his telephone voice when speaking with Gary. Most people from Merseyside try to out Scouse each other when in convo
Just the 3 miura in for work. The value of them would be equivalent to a lottery win.
You should have your own TV programme
He'd make a great James Bond

You might consider a new microphone sir . The sound is way off.
Super video. fascinating. All my favourite cars except the Ferrari 250 which was a bot of an ugly duckling. thanks for sharing. really good
Gary, I am so jealous.
Loves to hear himself speak.
Loves his fish and chips too
Nerdsville at its best !.
Your Videos I am great! Thanks My Old Lady is a Maserati
Lord almighty, what must his insurance costs be on the workshop?! Blown away by the combined value of those cars.
Very brave of Iain to give a lad from Liverpool the guided tour, lol.
WHY??
???? What do you mean. Liverpool. You forget the real crimes are committed by the banks in the city of LONDON
What you trying to say Scousers are thieves ?
Iain has his own hair.
Audio mate...!!
Girling shock absorbers.Now I feel my age!!!
Ha ha haaaaa!!
I keep looking at Iain Tyrell and seeing Kier Starmer. Am I alone?
I keep looking at Gary Mavers and seeing Michael Crawford morphed with Roger Daltrey.
Never seen it. Iain does what he says and has never mentioned what his dad did….
No, there's someone following you
Yes
you know why Steve McQueen liked colours like slate grey/brown and autumnal colours right???
No idea

Saying a 350gt is ugly makes no sense.
Did Iain accidentally let one rip? If so, no apologies necessary in the garage. 😊
