I was so disappointed this wasn't a Binky or the transportation truck vid at first and then I got interested in his fascinating story. Thanks, and please do another vid once he's finished his project?
@@jonatanrullman Well, he (unlike this pair) did set a finish date of before his 70th birthday which is later this year so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn’t get a kink for making brackets (like someone I could mention) and it takes him another decade.
I "only" have a lowly 1976 Spitfire but the Triumph roadsters are so endearing. Listening to this gentleman's tail of his lifelong passion is inspiring.
I'm so impressed that on one hand you can make a silly video about 2 blokes fixing a car in a garage, and then on the other hand make a proper documentary with beautiful photography showing a person's commitment to his passion and career. That guitar riff in the background was used about 20 times more than necessary though.
This is a wonderful watch, thank you. Speaking of Jimmy McRae. My dad gave him his last Rolo when they met at the Mintex. I was mortified, had had my eye on it for ages.
The car is basically done. Makes me wonder if they are waiting on other company's to make the interior for them. Been wondering on the Escargot thingy though? Not seen the lorry in ages.
At this point i'm assuming something went very wrong, perhaps the flexi-shaft again, and this has caused a complete re-design of many components. Or perhaps you both retired, either way, where the f**k are you?
What has happened to BOM? Nothing on YT for 8 months now. Has something happened? So many projects left up in the air, especially Binky, so close to completion.
Superb short 🎥Great editing and music 🎶 He is the real deal and so humble. Thanks for sharing. Always wanted one of the early TR’s, but growing up in Cleveland Ohio U.S., the tin worm destroyed anything in my price range and winters brutally cold, to operate one year round.
The format this was done in was the winner, the narrative was continuous with no awkward questions getting in the way. My first love was Triumphs and I had a seven speed system in the 80's by leaving out the inhibitor switch and using the gear lever switch. A very good story from a well spoken and confident speaker, I wonder what instigated it.
This episode was filled with emotion. This chap is an incredibly visceral character. His partner helped him recognize his passion and pushed him to pursue his dreams. This is was a very inspiring story. It all begins with a man in a shed…
Brilliant and massively interesting. I remember seeing that body he's restoring emulated on a car show. Great stuff from a man with luck, skill and the balls to do what he feels.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm a Triumph enthusiast so it was a fascinating insight into Revington TR. Triumph were always strapped for cash. They had to sell the motorcycle side of the business to stay afloat in 1936 but that didn't stop them from decaring bankruptcy just before WW2 and Triumph was subsequently acquired by Standard. When Leyland bought Triumph in 1960 they were able to put the Spitfire into production which they couldn't afford to do before. Unfortunately, the Triumph marque only exists in a filing cabinet in Munich under BMW ownership.
I feel sorry for the 3778 people who still pay to watch this channel. If all their patrons chose their lowest fee of £2 that means on top of any TH-cam Revenue, they are getting a min £7500+ (minus patron fees) a month... they haven't made any what I would call actual content (you cant call apology videos or whatver content) for a year that means they have made at least £80-£100k from their patrons alone... its disgusting... absolutely disgusting.. they clearly dont give a toss about their viewers they are just sitting around seeing how long they can continue to get away with ripping off their loyal fans... you wouldnt pay for a Streaming service if they didnt update their content would you. This is simply disgusting..
Why bother to make vids when you can live perfectly well on other peoples Direct Debits. I also note the forum is giving of a bit of a bad smell. If it's consistency your after then look up Abom79.
Wonderful presentation! I was a young boy in the 60s and my father owned a TR 2 (along with several Corvettes). I loved that car so much, the sound of the engine, the interior, the smells, the swooping doors, oh and that steering wheel 😁. I can remember going for rides and how cool it felt. The only other car I've been as fond of was the Morgan (I reckon circa 50s) a neighbor owned. So I was the little guy on the street that was lucky enough to have ridden (quite frequently) in two very iconic automobiles. I'd give honorable mention to the Model A and Model T another neighbor had fully restored that I was also lucky enough to ride in frequently but they had nothing on the lovely British Motorcars I still so much love today (and I'm in my early 60s now).
Richard, see if you can put Neil in touch with Harry Metcalfe and book that Zoom in where he has had his Zagato. They will sort the body work out no probs. Great production on the video.
Thanks for this upload... but seriously... you CAN'T be done with Binky... We want to see you work out the kinks and then we want a good idea/review of the finished product.
hello. not sure if the notification I received from your channel was spam. But it asked me to message you using the Telegraph app. I was a 'random winner'. Times are weird. Great work. Let see some more of the van/car carrier you started....
I loved this video even though I have no special connection to Triumphs. The production shows the superb taste and passion for excellence that has been the hallmark of Project Binky. Getting all the archival footage must have been a significant challenge. As others have said, I also didn't want it to end. Thank you so much!
Blows my mind that this channel collects >$100k/year producing as little as it does. It seems like over 11 months, someone should be able to turn out a drivable car; starting with what was shown on the trailer. Guess people get fat & happy.
I love triumph cars. Sure, some have some quirks that are more than a bit annoying but as a gear head... love working on them and enjoy the classic styling. Really like the classic MG as well.
Fantastic all round. Amazing photography, editing, music. What a tip bloke. So easy to listen to talking. And something that is often overlooked but clear to see in this film, is a loving, understanding and supportive wife!
First was a bit "underwelmed": no binky, no S Cargot - but suddenly got into the story, as it unfolds, as Neil tells it. Watch for lensflares, they can be distracting and hey, why not 4K-format for this, could be nice and would do the tellers and the gems justice :). thx.
This was done brilliant ! Such nice story telling, beautiful arranged, well toned narranting, well placed foottage and all the right music ! Impressive work ! A so much different thing of a kind than a Binky or Escarcot episode but a beauty by itself.
This is one of the most lovely documentaries that I have seen in the last 40 years. Quiet, intimate and amazing in the gentle way that Mr. Revington shared his life story and how his passion for Triumph cars has helped thousands of others to enjoy them as well. I have resisted the temptation of the TR6 - one of the most beautiful cars to ever turn a wheel, due to the reports of the flawed handling and nimpressive speed. THis has made me rethink that conclusion. Thank you so much for sharing this.
A beautifully composed video. Better than most mainstream networks/channels. Well done. What an interesting subject! Mr Revington should be introduced to Harry Metcalfe's body fabricators, who are currently working on his Lancia Zagato. They would do his Zoom prototype proud.
Love the video - as many have said the passion of Mr. Revingtion comes through in every frame. One small quibble - The Shell 4000 rally was completely in Canada, not the States. My dad Jim Gunn organized all of these coast to coast rally's from 1961 to 1968 plus the 1971 BC Centennial.
Fantastic piece of video journalism, better than some telly programs ! - a great mix of original live action, factual interview and historic footage, superbly edited with the funk soundtrack - well done !
What a gem of a vid! Thanks guys. The shed lives on! Such a treat to see here and so well captured. More please. For the 'project' perhaps a tie-up with 'prestige-restoration' or simialar is in the offing? From thier work with Harry M's Zagato I think they should be Likely Lads. Do keep these coming though I'd like news on L' Escargot and Binky, too of course. Thanks
Funny he mentions a Sunbeam Rapier! Dated a girl years ago that had a Sunbeam Alpine. She and her Dad worked on cars (got to love a girl that can spin wrenches and at the time I *thought* I did). Called me from the parts store one day nearly in tears because they insisted the head gasket they were trying to sell her was the right one for the car, but it didn't match the old one she had with her. Not being a British car fan (USA) at the time I knew little about them. Some digging around and we determined that the Alpine actually had a Rapier engine in it!
What a good storyteller and great video to convey the story. It’s also great to see someone who actually drives their collectables instead of letting them collect dust
Richard, shall we say Mr. Brunning now that you gone all producorial on us, it looks like for a " man in a shed" you've found a right talent- loved the story about this man in a shed. I suspect he has great meaning to you and Nik both. Keep doing this sort of story- I will certainly want to see them and I suspect you will even more greatly enjoy making them! I've pled before to finish Binky, but I have resigned myself that it might not happen before my 75th birthday- it does seem I was maybe 40 or 45 when you started- so I am keeping close watch on my health and such , just to see this marvel-Binky! And a few more "sheddy" stories! FR
I was so disappointed this wasn't a Binky or the transportation truck vid at first and then I got interested in his fascinating story. Thanks, and please do another vid once he's finished his project?
Me too. It's like watching a great television show that ends abruptly.
The S Cargo.
Finished his project? What channel do you think you are watching?
@@jonatanrullman Binky would never be finished, they'll always be one more job. 🛠🔧🗜

I love the lines of the spitfire.
We’ll done Richard & Ben!
Thoroughly entertaining
Absolutely knocked it out of the park, well done chaps.
What a captivating video. Love the way Neil tells a story, I was sorry to see it end. 😟

Saw Bad Obsession Motorsport popup and got all excited. But alas no binky
same =(
Same.
The car is basically done. Makes me wonder if they are waiting on other company's to make the interior for them. Been wondering on the Escargot thingy though? Not seen the lorry in ages.
Dito
Literally...the very same reaction! 😂 The last time I had this sense of anticipation was waiting for santa!
Good video. A company that keep s triumphs going. I had a TR 3A & Tr4A in the 1960s &1970s.. Loved them.
At this point i'm assuming something went very wrong, perhaps the flexi-shaft again, and this has caused a complete re-design of many components. Or perhaps you both retired, either way, where the f**k are you?
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your story Mr. Revington.
What has happened to BOM? Nothing on YT for 8 months now. Has something happened? So many projects left up in the air, especially Binky, so close to completion.
What an excellent piece of video. I have always lusted for a tr5.
I am getting worried now! Are you guys ok? The business ok? Sending all the best wishes....
Big fan of Binky. Loved this video too. Great production.....please keep them coming....👌👍
Just brilliant thank you a world without people doing things in sheds wouldn't be the world we know today
This was pure magic for me thank you for bringing me back so many years long may your cars and company thrive thank you D.
What a lovely story.
Thanks guys.
Revington.. just the name alone is cool.
And then we got to hear the stories.
Brilliant vid guys !

Great video lads, what an interesting Guy I could have listened to him talking all day. Fantastic
This episode was filled with emotion. This chap is an incredibly visceral character. His partner helped him recognize his passion and pushed him to pursue his dreams. This is was a very inspiring story. It all begins with a man in a shed…
And a loving wife that allows the man to be in the shed
He was very lucky to meet that lady.
That was a beautiful video thank you I miss my uncle,he was such a fan of the tr's
A pure Gent with really nice cars and a lovely way of life.
Thanks. Brilliant.

A very professional video Richard. Thanks.👏👏👏👏👏👏
😒🤣 Thanks
thank you so much
A great story and a great vid. Thanks guys.
13:04 BOM don't get any ideas, we hope you guys finish Binky (and maybe Escargo) in under 40+ years. 😉
What a perfect half hours viewing, thanks
Thanks
Great job Richard. What a great story to tell. Absolutely fascinating.
Thank you. This is really interesting.
Wonderful story beautifully executed.
This video makes me want my TR4A back!
Fantastic thank you
A very good video documenting a man and his passion for Triumph TR's. His collection looks beautiful and it's great that some get driven.
Wonderful film.
How is the binky transporter van coming along?
Thanks guys, very interesting and VERY professional! Well done. :)

such a great story teller.

Damn you guys have beaten the pros at this, that was BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Did you give up on the bus?
I’m thinking they’ve given up on the mini.
What is this crap? Cancelled patreon , binky is finished and travelling around car shows for nearly a year.
I'm still waiting for the next installment of Project Binky.
Me as well.
Must be taking some time to get the turning circle down to something like that of a Mini.
Absolutely loved that. Nice to get insight into how these vital businesses came about. Without them, so many lovely cars wouldn't be around.
This guy wins life. He has the coolest toys and loves what he does preserving unique mechanical history. Thew world is a little bit better for it
Wheres BINKY????
thinking the same.need a new episode for Christmas
At a show... probably.
So you two blokes okay over there? Few months now without an upload at all
Well done!
very interesting, but please we want to see the next escargot episode
Fantastic video.
When is the next Vid ? You’ve been really quiet for too long !
Also fabulous film.

I just spent the last 30 minutes with the biggest smile on my face. It hurts now, but totally worth it.
Ooo, oooo, who's this guy? ( Direction, filming and Editing: Ben James )
Binky, escargot?? they still a thing🤷♂️ even a youtube short on whats going on pleae
Guys, you guys, hi! So how is it with the Escargot, how's Binky doing? Any news already? 😐
Love triumphs..
Great vid.
here's an update on the projects: th-cam.com/video/TlZNR4dRHdo/w-d-xo.html

Absolutely superb i loved every minute of this and how great it is the original tr2 he bought he still owns and enjoys.
