The sunday papers are dreadful, this week I learnt about moving to the Cotswolds, the houses and swimming pools, and also learnt that there is poverty in the rural population, but at least you can get Farrow and Ball paint. Well just fuck off back to London then.
Thanks Ian for sharing your current projects with us and also letting us listen to your colleagues and watch them at work. I’ve just worked out that it was some 53 years ago when I watched the valves on my Cortina engine being lapped! I doubt that the garage is still there and not surprisingly I’m sure there are very few people who can undertake that sort of work. The standard of work on the body shell was also superb. Thanks again it’s so interesting to watch real engineers at work. Regards, Chris
An Atelier in the old-fashioned meaning of the word. The world is going to hell when all a young 'technician' can do is plug in Onboard Diagnostics and have a computer tell him / her what to rip & replace. I'm not in the Lamborghini market but I see it in my local Land Rover dealership.
I just found this channel and its truely enjoyable to watch. No loud cheap music, steady camera work, very simple and easy to understand explanation of the cars and the work being done. The best car/restoration channel on youtube in my opinion.
@@SuperHoneyOil Yes my thoughts as well when he was messing around with those two hammers & at long last put the mole grips on, even then I though he would never get around to hitting them.
Intricate, hand-built, overlaid with corrosion, impact damage, and previous repairs- a history gently untangled with skill and experience. Surely the owner must be watching these videos with great satisfaction.
Every time I watch Tyrrell’s workshop the more certain am I that this is the best classic car program available on any platform. The workmanship is outstanding. If I could afford these guys and had a car of the class they work on they would be my first choice for sure! Keep it up!
" Hollowed out sodium filled valve stems to transfer heat" The attention to detail in the engineering of a Ferrari engine back in the day is astounding ! I could watch this stuff all day 👍
Its not new technology, they were using then back in the 30's in spitfire engines, and all sorts of other high power applications. Metals have evolved a bit since then so there no longer used.
As a child of the Seventies, I was raised on Motor Road tests, CAR magazine, Lamborghini books, and brochures. Some fine works of journalism being read just before bedtime meant that, when I closed my eyes at 10 years old (way before ever having my first driving lesson), I knew it would need a few dabs on the throttle to prime the Webers to coax a single bank of cylinders of my imaginary Lamborghini Jarama 400GT into life before stalling. Several attempts later and the 12 would catch and burst into life, with Bob Wallace waving me off from the factory gates for my first drive. Nothing since then, in all my fifty-three years has brought me closer to my beloved automotive subjects. Bless you Iain, for the pure enthusiasm, knowledge, skill, and love that you bring into the classic car world.
The level of craftsmanship required for this type of restoration work is absolutely staggering Imagine the confidence in your own abilities that must be required to hack a 50 year old chassis worth in excess of $1M to pieces
The cars aside, I couldn't think of a better group of guys to just hang out with swapping fun memories and isn't that what our love of cars is half about. Thanks for the best show on the tube, stay well.
BLLODY HELL, what a brilliant vlog, Ian you have some very gifted people on your team, James on the bodywork is something else, watching valves being bedded in by hand with a 'sucker stick' using course then fine cutting compond takes me back to the late 60's early 70's rebuilding my car engines. All the best regards. RichardA.
Another day at the office: Chopping of the front of a Miura with your angle grinder...... and then "Doing your eye lashes" the remainder of the day" - Thanks for showing the pin bolt, it's always stupid things like this that really gets you on old cars :-) Just awesome, such a joy to watch this channel!
Imagine having to stop watching half way through to go to work , aaargh These videos are pure class , almost makes you want to own a rusty classic to see the after 🙏🏴
Oooof! Fabulous, PREMIUM quality education & entertainment! 😃 Makes the BBC look like something from the worst gutter-standard school play you ever saw! Such engineering excellence and attention to tiny details... 😲 Well done Ian, (never fail to be impressed by other members of your team like James & Marcus too!) please keep them coming, loving the channel. 🤩😍👍🏻
The skill, humility, experience and professional respect between all of you is humbling. Oh .......... and we need to know more of James' conquests ............. y'can't leave it there for heaven's sake.
How to feel really good about yourself: 1. Step : watch this video 2. Step : give it a like! 3. Step : realise somebody paid 1.2 million for this rusty Miura and it is not you! 😊
Share with friends! These men deserve all the views and likes. Past 20 minutes I've been wondering what the Miura owner, who undoubtedly will watch this, will have going through their head. Haha
I saw one of these, same color of yellow, literally a pile of corrosion, and stored in the back of a friend's garage. As I winced my eyes to the horror I said to myself "Nothing to see here, keep to the left, and keep moving."
If I had the budget I'd pay 1.2 mill in a heartbeat. Very original car, in very good condition all things considered. And imagine what it will be worth once the gentlemen at Tyrrell's Classic Workshop are finished. Although I'm sure the new owner isn't thinking about that - he most likely is looking forward to going for a drive in his pristine restoration. I know I would be.
Love these videos. They're instructive, interesting and quite engaging. I appreciate the utter lack of noisy soundtracks, the false sense of urgency, all the crap you get with most car restoration videos.
Hi Iian, great update! A lot of work going on there! A surprising amount of metalwork needing attention underneath hey! Makes me think...blimey! when you've already paid out that amount in the first place! But then it's a Muira and worth every penny imo. Great stuff as always 😊
aussiebloke609 many years ago in the early 90s. I saw two of these in the Essex area. A black one in Debden and a white one in Southend on sea. Much better looking than the one derived from a VW.
I saw a white one parked in a street in LA in the late 1980s. Had a chat with the owner when he returned to it. He opened the bonnet (or should I say hood?) and was very patient whilst I gawped at it.
I could watch these technical videos for hours. Absolutely love it. Keep them coming please. I inform all my enthusiasts friends about your channel. Thank you
Mr. Tyrrell and Mr. Metcalfe makes my day, each time one of them posts a video. The attitude, the integrity, the approach to the work.... my deepest respect!
A trick I was shown early in my apprenticeship, was to fit a couple of pieces of correct size plastic tubing over the conrod studs to prevent making the crank as the pistons where fitted.
I love this channel. So much to learn and so much extra information that you won’t hear anywhere else. Fascinating for any car enthusiast. Thank you for these continued updates.
If these videos lasted for 4 or 5 hours I’d still watch every minute of them. Love this content Iain, thanks for providing it and please keep it coming 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve just found this channel and I don’t know a lot about cars but the way this is presented I can understand what’s happening,got to be one of the best channels on you tube
I ABSOLUTELY love Iain's videos, fabulous and beautiful classic cars getting a new lease at life through the love and amazing craftmanship of a lot of second to none workers and helmed by the best presenter not afraid of getting his fingers dirty. Perfection, thank you!
I am in awe of James work and Ians comment "Lamborghini's are sharp and dangerous" got a good laugh from that. all in one of the most enjoyable classic car you tube channels brilliant guys
“This is the type of job you don’t do when the customer is stood next to you” Let’s just film it and put it on TH-cam 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though love these videos and already looking forward to the next one
I am utterly fascinated by the coachbuilding. I can grasps all the mechanical work but hand making a car or its parts from scratch is entirely alien to me.
There is no, short cut for perfection, isn't it ? Only with a lot of work, attention to detail, and love, can the final result be exceptional. Well done Tyrrell👍
Imagine having enough money to decide - no! I don't fancy my SV front end, I want to get a complete new front end hand built - maybe they have an eyelash fetish 😂😂
I guess nobody caught that the car originally had lashes, but some dipshit made it an SV lookalike in the late 70s. (no lashes) The owner is putting it back to O.E.M.
These videos could be 23 hrs long and I still wouldn’t miss a second....wonderful. Proper old fashioned engineering skills by proper blokes More videos of the Miura’s progress please Iain. Absolutely essential petrol head viewing.
The budget of the owners must be astronomical. Good for them, putting their resources into keeping these beautiful cars alive. And well done Mr. Tyrrell for doing the work.
James your bodywork guy does a great job. You can feel the passion when you were both talking about the car. The 8 dislikes are way out of order. 5 Stars.
This may be the best episode yet. I enjoy watching the small details of the Miuras being returned to how they were originally intended. How few people have ever seen the inside of the heater passages on the Miura? Wonderful that the owner has chosen to return the 350gt to its original color. Thank you.
Prob.more than we think but Ian must set a v.high standard. It's his reputation and business and I would imagine only patient and v.skilled people need apply. It's not work that is rushed or set to a deadline. It's ready when it's ready.
It does not come as a surprise Italian cars of the era did not use the best steel available and is prone to rust, also some the techniques used weren't the most efficient. In combination is that the car was sitting for a considerable number of years with at some point the front clam shell being hit as mentioned prior. It would be a be a surprise if many of the cars from the era no matter the value had some form corrosion. It may also be worth noting that Lamborghini at that stage were a startup of sorts with a quarter of the resources that Ferrari had.
@@laurieharper1526 Hand built aluminium panels made over a buck mould are made up from several hand beaten and rolled sections ,welded together then hand filed and shaped .Not stamped out from a single sheet as one unit , in large numbers on a press like modern mass produced units .Also that piece of front end is the most commonly damaged part on the car , making it a very sought after valuable used panel . If one Advertised the panel section taken off, the phone would go on meltdown and sell immediately for a large wad of cash .
I love that you include your technicians in your videos (one more camera shy than the other). There is so much deep knowledge here- obviously starting with yourself. It boggles the mind! This is about as close as I will ever come to a Miura, except maybe in a museum, but your videos are so tactile that I can almost rub the engine oil between my fingers and smell whether it's a little cooked or not...
Fascinating, as ever. A few years back, I was overtaken on the motorway to London by an LM002. I just remember the noise it made. It REALLY didn’t sound like an SUV, that’s for sure!
Reality television at it's best. Having done some metalwork, I found myself two steps ahead of the hinge job. I would also have done the bottom hinge first. What an amazing advantage it is to have a rotisserie in your shop. Mr. Tyrrell is a perfect match for this kind of presentation.
Another wonderful, motivational story to get the creative juices flowing. When I saw that Miura front section, I was chuckling about the factory nose made on the original buck that "Required some fettling." Read: 60 hours to make it fit. I did the same exercise on my Aston Martin early DBS, including making the buck from templates off another car, then allowing for the different dimensions of my car, then making hammer forms, fitting, etc. Over 200 hours in that... " Some assembly may be required" comes to mind. Iain does top quality work, is a historian, engineer, and story teller all rolled into one. The only criticism I have is that I wish that the videos were longer! Thank you for the wonderful look into a top workshop.
Great to see some of the Tyrrell team fettling away, I think of the work done at Tyrell's Classic Workshop like the conservator's who work on restoring Da Vinci's and other great masterpieces.
I'm not a vintage connoisseur by any means, but I just love the way Tyrrells show us 'how it's made' 50 years earlier. Iain has the Attenborough way of just drawing you in
Finally a channel on TH-cam that has intelligence,manners, civility and respect for the subject! I've found the holy grail of automotive channels! No loud obnoxious music or special effects with dribble as filler to make the video longer or fake drama!! Man this is really good stuff! Top drawer mate.
Wow! Just amazing view into some top notch work by true craftsmen. Even the numbers on the speedo of the 350 GT are special and very pretty. Thanks Ian and your team of crafty artisans!
Why isn't the boss yelling and screaming at the employees like the car shows on network television? No wonder those shows died out. This is quality content, love the workshop and engineering talk.
Because this is the UK and things don't work that way here :)
Professional people are expected to be professional. Shouting and drama is unproductive.
Professionals given the professional respect they deserve.

Respect and professionalism up and down the chain of command.
Forget the Sunday papers and sport. This is far more interesting.

Quite right
Forty minutes? Was it that long? I was so engrossed the whole way through it seemed nowhere near that!
Stress free!
really appreciate the more intimate look into your work process. a true gentleman's garage.

James the metal guy is truly impressive! Thanks for showing us this type of master craftsmanship.
Ten minutes watching a guy hammer a pin out of a door hinge. Why is this so fascinating?
Agreed. But not your average kitchen cabinet hinge though...
M Ducheine I think Iain Tyrell could narrate the complex chemical interactions involved in the moisture flash points of paint drying, and I’d watch it
Parce que c'est la vraie vie 😉
And none of the classical mechanics' "vocabulary" either! Such restraint!!
I must admit, I did fast forward to just before the bottom pin emerged. :-)
With all that’s going on in the World, sometimes you need a Tyrell’s Workshop update.
An Atelier in the old-fashioned meaning of the word.

I think this video has some Jay Leno's garage feeling, in a positive way.
@@slennie this is just ten times better
Somewhat comforting that the tools of persuasion that work for my junk cars are the choice for ungodly expensive collector cars.
I mean it was a bit dumb. You'd think they'd weld a nut to it, and give them some more leverage. When they got out the vice grips I was like finally!
Sometimes it just needs a bit of brute force
The Birmingham screwdriver was the star of the show...
@@SuperHoneyOil Yes my thoughts as well when he was messing around with those two hammers & at long last put the mole grips on, even then I though he would never get around to hitting them.
James is a very talented fabricator , making that front end and the eye lashes
He is awesome
But looks better without the lashes imo
Brad Kells blasphemy!
Yes you can understand why Lamborghini removed them, too time consuming
Watching true craftsmen at work is an absolute pleasure, these guys need to be cherished almost as much as there cars that they’re preserving. 👌
Intricate, hand-built, overlaid with corrosion, impact damage, and previous repairs- a history gently untangled with skill and experience. Surely the owner must be watching these videos with great satisfaction.
I was thinking the same thing.
I doubt it, he’s probably making too much money to care about the details.
Every time I watch Tyrrell’s workshop the more certain am I that this is the best classic car program available on any platform. The workmanship is outstanding. If I could afford these guys and had a car of the class they work on they would be my first choice for sure! Keep it up!
An absolute joy to watch a true, British metal-guru/craftsman at his work - hand-made Miura eyelashes! Genius.
What a channel this is.

lamborghini made tractors at some point too i think....
@@MrFlyingguy They started as a tractor co using discarded engines from surplus US WW2 stuff.

Nah, he was cool with that. What is lathing a stupid pin compared with the rest of the work that the guy does?
Gustavo Florio Bernardi I personally agree but to Ian it is an ever so slight drop in the car’s originality... and to him that’s important
The budget of the owners must be astronomical. Good for them, putting their resources into keeping these beautiful cars alive. And well done Mr. Tyrrell for doing the work.

Painful that £1.2 million does not mean you can avoid a ground up restoration project!
James is a bloody bodywork WIZARD!
I lapped in valves as part of my apprenticeship when customers brought their cars in for a decoke. Not so much these days!
I can't tell you how much enjoyment your videos bring me, especially the detailed shop word. Well done! Please keep them coming!
You’ve only got to blow the doors off...😂
Yup, Garage54 would've gotten the door off in not more than the time it takes to light and burn a fuse...

Love to know what the restoration cost are. Won’t be cheap for sure but worthwhile
Those small piles of rust on the workshop floor were probably worth £50k on their own. ;-)

I wonder how long it took to make that piece. A year maybe? How much did it cost? $100,000?
I was a bit surprised they didn't have an entire new bonnet skin made, rather than cutting up the existing one, which now can't be sold complete.
@@laurieharper1526 Hand built aluminium panels made over a buck mould are made up from several hand beaten and rolled sections ,welded together then hand filed and shaped .Not stamped out from a single sheet as one unit , in large numbers on a press like modern mass produced units .Also that piece of front end is the most commonly damaged part on the car , making it a very sought after valuable used panel . If one Advertised the panel section taken off, the phone would go on meltdown and sell immediately for a large wad of cash .
@@geraldswain3259 I see. Thanks for explaining. I assumed it would have been made from a single piece.
James is an amazing craftsman….hard to find guys like him these days.
It's like i'm hearing Ringo Starr talk car restoration.
I love that you include your technicians in your videos (one more camera shy than the other). There is so much deep knowledge here- obviously starting with yourself. It boggles the mind! This is about as close as I will ever come to a Miura, except maybe in a museum, but your videos are so tactile that I can almost rub the engine oil between my fingers and smell whether it's a little cooked or not...
Fascinating, as ever. A few years back, I was overtaken on the motorway to London by an LM002. I just remember the noise it made. It REALLY didn’t sound like an SUV, that’s for sure!
Reality television at it's best.
Having done some metalwork, I found myself two steps ahead of the hinge job. I would also have done the bottom hinge first. What an amazing advantage it is to have a rotisserie in your shop. Mr. Tyrrell is a perfect match for this kind of presentation.
Another wonderful, motivational story to get the creative juices flowing. When I saw that Miura front section, I was chuckling about the factory nose made on the original buck that "Required some fettling."
Read: 60 hours to make it fit.
I did the same exercise on my Aston Martin early DBS, including making the buck from templates off another car, then allowing for the different dimensions of my car, then making hammer forms, fitting, etc. Over 200 hours in that...
" Some assembly may be required" comes to mind.
Iain does top quality work, is a historian, engineer, and story teller all rolled into one.
The only criticism I have is that I wish that the videos were longer!
Thank you for the wonderful look into a top workshop.
Great to see some of the Tyrrell team fettling away, I think of the work done at Tyrell's Classic Workshop like the conservator's who work on restoring Da Vinci's and other great masterpieces.
I'm not a vintage connoisseur by any means, but I just love the way Tyrrells show us 'how it's made' 50 years earlier. Iain has the Attenborough way of just drawing you in
Now this is the type of catch up we love - restorations in full swing, and the cars looking impeccable!
Finally a channel on TH-cam that has intelligence,manners, civility and respect for the subject! I've found the holy grail of automotive channels! No loud obnoxious music or special effects with dribble as filler to make the video longer or fake drama!! Man this is really good stuff! Top drawer mate.
I would like a 4 hr video next please . Fascinating stuff .
Lovely cars and lovely people, so calming to watch, thanks.
Wonderful detailed overview of the cars you are working on. I'm sure your clients will be proud to see their car in this video. Chapeau!
Fascinating look to see how the "chassis" on the Miura was fabricated and assembled. Best 40 mins I've spent all week.
39 minutes and 36 seconds of utter automotive perfection, thank you Iain
I saw someone else already mention, but some apparel merchandise would be awesome!
Wow! Just amazing view into some top notch work by true craftsmen. Even the numbers on the speedo of the 350 GT are special and very pretty. Thanks Ian and your team of crafty artisans!
