One of the things I've learned over the years is that by using a "two tone" system of paint primer before shooting the final colour can very much affect the final result. By spraying a darker primer on the lower panels and following a belt line or an obvious dropping off spot, and then spraying lighter primer on the upper panels, the effect is make the car appear to sit lower. The effect is more pronounced with "candy colours" where we would shoot a metal flake primer coat in gold or champagne tones with a silver above. Then spray the colour coats over that base. For solid colour paints with no metallic flake I personally prefer spraying over dark primer because I find the colours "glow" with more luster and depth.
Paint man Ryan KNOWS his stuff alright!! I am not surprised that Ferrari used components from other models it makes sense really SAVES them money and time developing new ones that will end very very similar!!
Is anyone else comforted tremendously by these facts: A) there is a bottle opener hanging on a string in the background of the opening discussion And 2) it’s swinging as if it were just recently used. This is like a third Michelin star in the car restoration industry.
It’s so terrific to get this level of insight, but with the car in front of you, not someone pontificating (as happens all too often with cars at this higher level). This channel is a joy.
Iain your love for these cars really shows in all your videos but this one especially. It's a child-like enthusiasm in the best sense of the word. The "exploded diagram" arrangement is just the sort of thing we'd do as kids with our model cars. It's lovely to share in your delight.
I can’t get tired of watching your videos … once again I've been educated … it’s a pleasure to see the F40 but also the Lamborghini Espada or just the front fairing of Kevin Schwantz Suzuki RGV 500 cc…. Thank You 👌
LOVE your Videos every time again.... calm and quiet Presentation, no stupid Music, no stupid Camera shaking like all the others. Just Pictures talk and your Stories and Interview Partners. THANKS A LOT !!!
That was amazing, 2 mega geeks just enjoying a chat and the knowledge is off the charts. We are spoiled Mr Tyrrell... thank you and the people you share with us.
Most captivating again. All main elements showing on the floor almost as a building kit is spiffing amusing in an odd way. Odd in the sense that we are watching a value laying there of well over a million US$ or two... Spectacular. Thank you both for the insights Iian and Ryan. Lovely.
Interesting that you note about the turbos... here we had, (and I still have on an older diesel SUV) 'Turbo savers", timers that allowed you to turn off ignition, exit and lock the vehicle, and the diesel continued to idle for a priod you set on the saver... 1, 2, 3 or 4 minutes in my case. Also in the trucking industry, with the big turbos on the older trucks, they had a reservoir of oil pressurised from oil pressure( with an air gap in the top to maintain pressure) fitted connected to the turbo with a one way valve so that pressure was maintained after stopping.
Thanks to the entire team for taking the time to film these videos for us; it’s seriously appreciated. Must say, learning about the “finishing hallmarks” of the real 1:1 F40 makes me feel much better about what I always suspected was quality issues with my 1:64 Hot Wheels model…😅
Utterly fantastic - haven't been as absorbed since viewing Brian Hatton's cutaway drawings in Autocar/ Motor and before that, the cutaways of every kind of vehicle in The Eagle.
I remember building a friends sons F40 model years ago. You boys have a full-sized one, a few more bits, a lot more money but oh my God - it looks just the same but from higher up. Fantastic to learn even more about the F40. Thank you Iain and all.
Cheers to Ryan and Cheshire Prestige Paintworks. I'd repeat myself but it's just amazing the amount of passion and professional work that you guys put into this. ❤
Inspiring, informative and beautiful episode! Thank you Tyrell team! One small correction If I may. The Ferrari repeaters are the same with Fiat Coupe and Alfa 155 wide body, but do not match the Punto ones! The Punto mk.2 has a similar in shape repeaters, but a bit larger and rougher.
Another masterclass restoration video. I learn so much from these episodes. All the little "nerdy" details of the design of the Ferrari F40, the reasons why the some of these details were made and the cheeky facts about the chassis design going back to the 1950s. Shhhhhhh! Doesn't take away from how wonderful the F40 is and how ground-breaking it was at the time. Thanks, again Iain and Ryan!
My 348 being a euro model has those repeaters as well, the steering column stalks (headlights, indicators and so forth) is 100% Lanica among other things.......Always good to see a F40 in detail...
The F40 is one of those classic cars that just never ages in my eyes. I'd give anything to be able to own one of those beautiful machines, it's almost a work of art in my eyes.
Looks like a 1:1 model kit. I've got the 1/8th scale version and it's funny seeing the real parts that I recognize from the hours putting it together ☺
It might have been new tec for Ferrari in the late eighties. But I was working with carbon fibre and epoxy resigns back in 1970 and they were not brand new then, Development went back well into the sixties trying to develop turbine blades for Concorde. these blades were tested by running up to speed and feeding frozen chickens through them. The car industry was a very late starter with carbon probably due to the snob factor over GRP bodies.
@@davecohn5546 Dave we were building canoes from carbon back in 1970 in fact the person that introduced me to the material had built a canoe from carbon and drove a double decker bus over it to demonstrate it's strength, there is some super eight film kicking about somewhere.We were not vacuum bagging or building large scale the carbon and epoxy were just too expensive, I was first introduced to Kevlar in the form of woven tape in 1972 again extremely expensive and not massively useful for canoe production.
Ian, Ryan. Thank you so much for this video. Finally confirming my thoughts regarding the weave on the paintwork. I'm building a sport quattro replica and am attempting to recreate the weave following paint sink. The info here has confirmed why I thought the weave occurred and gives me some confidence that what I am doing should achieve the desired effect. Love the channel. !
Would love to follow the process of the Quattro. Is it being documented anywhere? Massive audi fanatic, and while I’ve had old and new, the old are what brings me the most joy
@@AB-jo1pe Have you come across the You Tube channel Sport Quattro @sportquattro86? It's a British guy in Australia creating a Sport Quattro in his garage from various donor cars - and a lot of cutting and welding. Very interesting and amusing!
I really really enjoyed this debunking the myths of the F40, with a degree of kindness to the current owner of such cars. Ever since I saw my first F40 I felt the paint finish was incredibly poor. Not uncommon for any Ferrari of the period really , great engines and looks and sound, but everything else is rather questionable, especially when you take into consideration the price. ❤ The sharing of parts within the Fiat group as it was then and until more current times was very common, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati have always shared a lot of components.
The more I learn about the F40, the more I love the car. I've zero interest in hybrid drivetrain, launch control or torque vectoring, for me modern Ferrari's seem dull in comparison - this is a true classic and never to be beaten. Loving this series, thank you for the latest instalment.
Yeah, this and the F50 were the last "old-school" supercars w/o trac/stab control, ABS, etc. along with being purposely raw. Along with the McLaren F1 (though not raw)
Thank you for sharing this video Iain! I never realised that the F40 had the underpinnings from the 308. I have worked with carbon and Kevlar in superyachts and it really is an amazing material.
Good evening lain . Well there's no doubt that Ryan's knowledge in his field is equal to your's . That has to be a compliment ! And it all akes perfect sense .....when you have thst knowledge ! Thankyou both .
Great video, this makes perfect sense with the paint. Very deceiving on selling another the car, saying it’s original paint, meanwhile it’s just been painted a year or two before. Such a killer car either way, power to weight masterclass
Absolutely LOVE the channel. I have to say I am not sure anyone I know was under the impression that you could actually see through the paint at the carbon weave. The weave pattern itself was basically embossing the paint above it is what. i thought that was the common knowledge. Will you be at Pebble next week?
I will never be fortunate enough to own the sorts of cars that you all work on but I really appreciate the insights you provide us all with into that somewhat surreal world. Please keep up the great work.👍
Delighted to see you're also highlighting structural aspects in your clips! I believe the brown core material is not aluminium though, but rather based on aramid paper such as Nomex material.
i rember as a kid going a 1/25 scale model of a F40 and had all the parts spread out just like that! so awesome to see it for real! thanks IT and gang, once again such a great history/nerdy vid! love!
I remember visiting Glevaragill’s Edinburgh showroom around 1996/7 and on sale was an F40 for £103k and a brand new 355 for £98k. Even then I was astonished anyone would pick the marginally cheaper car over the mighty F40! Such a dramatic car.

@@vibingwithvinyl Fiat 127 from those years have also been mentioned in other threads. It's a fantastic bit of Trivia that Fiat (and Ferrari) used the same components for over thirty years.
Print through is due to the post curing of the laminate after manufacture. In F40 days I think you will discover that the laminates were room temperature cured epoxy resins. A finished car painted Rosso Red sitting in the sun will soon develop very high surface temperatures, which will further cure (and shrink) the epoxy resins leaving the carbon, kevlar or glass weave visible. Some manufactures who were not so concerned by additional weight would use a glass scrim layer against the mould surface which masks the woven cloth. Horizontal surfaces tend to be more prone to print through as surface temperatures in service will have been higher. Autoclave processing eliminates this problem to a large extent, not just because of the increased consolidation of the laminate, but because of the high processing temperatures used in pre-prep laminates. In the industry it's called Heat Deflection Temperature HDT. If the laminate is cured at a higher temperature at manufacture than it will see in service then then problem is eliminated.
I think ingegnere Materazzi would be happy to see one of his greatest creations so loved by car lovers like us. The best to you, "esperto calcolatore". Best wishes.
Hello Ian , I just watches all 3 parts that was just fantastic truly amazing car , I had a 1970 246 GT it was the crossover from the 206 lucky to have the knock off wheels , it was quite tired when i bought it lots of area's with out any undercoat the car ended up in the US. Frank Sytner a name from my racing passed i used to see him in his early days at Malory Park and Silverstone we started at the same time 1970 , very nice man. I am sure you will get lots of likes your video are top class . Thank you .
Fabulous car the F40, preferred it to the F50.Great breakdown again so thanks Iain. Oh and by the way, easy on the donuts mate, you're still a young man😬
I just love the videos Tyrrel. I love the nerdiness. As im getting on in lifte I'm not as agile as I used to be. When I pick something of the floor I suport my selv gettin up with putting my hand on my knee. Good to see I'm not the only one. Love the canal.
Re. "Nerdiness" I'm going to buy a secondhand Fiat Punto repeater lamp and claim that it was the only thing salvageable from my recent 430 Scuderia incident.... but I was expecting the part no. at least. 🤣 Great stuff again. Mr "T".
Ian, great video as usual. By comparison the F40's carbon fiber body work was like that of the early gen 1 Corvettes (53-55). with those cars, you can actually see the fiberglass cloth weave in many unrestored examples.
The fact of having it laid out like a toy car, delightful
It's a sad and criminal truth that most of us can only ever have a toy model of one.
I bought the Bburago version, took it apart, detailed it and put it back together. Was great fun.
@@hughoxford8735 a friend of mine had that one in the late 80's scale 1:18 if I remember well.

Yes, he’s brilliant all right
I don’t think people thought you could see the black weave but more that you could still see the texture
I absolutely love the nerdy bits! The weight comparison between doors... The paint mysteries explained... The Fiat lights! Marvelous.
Is anyone else comforted tremendously by these facts:
A) there is a bottle opener hanging on a string in the background of the opening discussion
And
2) it’s swinging as if it were just recently used.
