Is it possible that we could see a little more fault finding Iain? It’s so great to see those skills being used by you and your team. Electrical and mechanical faults were always a challenge for me in my youth (70’s). I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

The quality of content is just magnificient.. love these videos

I would like to say a deep RESPECT to your incredibly skilled employees, Mr Tyrrell. They seem able to build any part ofany supercar, with their bare hands and many years of experience. Even the younger guys are impressive, all down to you Mr Tyrrell. Thank you for saving these rolling sulptures, and passing on the skill of creating art with your hands.

This has got to be the best classic car channel, pure enjoyment

My dad had a 400Gt. He loved it and kept it for many years. He imported it from an ad in Road and Track. Got to drive it and it was a real treat. He replaced the orginal ignition with an Jaguar V12 electrical distribritor.

As a kid growing up in the 70’s in Florida I had a neighbor that owned two Citroen’s and I was amazed. They were an oddity compared to the American muscle cars I found Interesting at the time, 11 year old, 1971. Today I think it is one of the coolest cars ever. Just a beautiful car. I love the channel. Well done man!!!

How refreshing! An intro without some crappy library musack, just a couple of classy logo fades. I love this channel.

Always a pleasure to see one of Tyrrel’s videos on a Sunday afternoon. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all the team on the garage. Greetings from Brazil.

One has to admire and love how deep the connection to the machines can be even with a professional. Love the stories about those special relationships with some cars that Iain has. Good stuff always!

I always think it looks like a job that's not finished when owners get the car up together nicely but don't bother with the clock. There are companies which specialise in that as I'm sure you know, they'll even fit quartz innards for real accuracy.

For some reason I always feel like I have a few more brain cells restored after watching one of Ian’s videos. Always enjoyable. Have a happy and safe Christmas everyone.

Yours is the genuine grand tour with the rebuilt Espada at the end. Thank you for sharing.

Thank You so much for taking Harry's advice, on starting up your own video channel. I never thought someone could equal or surpass Harry's Garage, for interest and content, I really like the way you describe the technical aspects of your garage, its quite magnificent. Please keep up the cracking videos, its more than a pleasure watching them, from across the water in sleepy Llandudno

Great video, Iain. Enjoyed the reference back to Harry and his Espada. Looking forward to the next. 👍

Fabulous update. Thank you. The SM with the Espada (and the NSU Ro 80 plus M B R107 ) are within my top 10 favourite cars. We certainly can be quite thankful the SM returning unscathed since one might never know from those three petrol heads, lol. Specially Hammond seems to have made quite the name. Seeing this SM being featured later would be a delight. A wonderful but intricate piece of engineering and rolling art.

Hello Mister Tyrell, Another great video, and I am still hoping to see a V8 Vantage in your shop or in one of Harry's reviews. In my opinion they are the "better Espadas". I want to hear that Aston V8 at full power and admire its looks, preferably an early pre 1980 car. Thanks again. Georges

Can I take a second to applaud the first cars owner on a terrific reg number 👏

This channel is addictive, Mr Tyrrell is the kind of person when he speaks everyone must listen because every word he says worths. I'll be waiting for more 10 minute magic restoration status, i have enjoyed so much this episode. Please keep it up the excellent work. Merry Christmas and a 2022 plenty of success.

You and Harry are both so entertaining, and calming, to watch on your videos. Well done!

Can't wait to see that Islero , one of my favourites, ever since I saw one in the film "The man who haunted himself " many years ago driven by the evil alter ego of Roger Moores character , it took me many years to find out what it was , long before the Internet existed. The Miura is my all time favourite car , always love to see them on your channel Iain. 👍 👍 👏 👏

The BMW CS gets my approval. Cool work guys!

Great updates this week, there is no shortage of sheer talent or amazing vehicles there.

Looks like you have plenty to keep you all busy, well into 2022, which is shaping up to be a very good year at TCW, thanks for taking us along four the ride, Iain! Tell us more about "Yensen"! That's the first time I've heard that pronunciation! "Oi dow think they say it loik that in West Bromeech, Cocker!"

What a feast of a video! I can't wait to see your upcoming films on the FF and the SM! As usual, you've knocked it right out of the park, another belter!!

During the Espada drive, look down to the clock on the center console. Note the constant sweep of the second hand. Contrast this with the rush of the road in the windshield. Art in motion, and I thank you, Ing. Tyrrell. I love the British usage of "fitted". It resonates of raw material draped, formed, trimmed and secured into place. This is so even with the replacement of a rotor on the distributor shaft. Pop the old one off, pop the new one on, fitted. And onward!

Lovely to meet the good people who work with you.

About the Citroën SM. Four years ago I visited Bill Richardson Museum of Transport in Invercargill, about 14000 miles from my home, I admired the Citroën SM in a far corner of the museum. An older man was standing next to it, I told him that Johan Cruyff owned such a car in the 70ties. and that he was a very fameus Dutch footballplayer. I know the man sad, I played with him!!!!! The older man was a former Dutch proffesional football player witch immigrated to New Zealand in the 80ties! It’s a small word!!!

I can't wait to see Iain do an episode on a 308 gt4. Would make a great story with the bertone/lamborghini connection, dino badged, first v8 Road car, the overshadowed, unloved, unknown ferrari of the 70's! Iains knowledge of the lamborghini/ferrari connection would be great to here on that one! Merry Christmas to you all!

Iain, I am subscribed & enjoyed the variety of this video. As a Mercedes-Benz owner-driver I've enjoyed the previous M-B videos you've done & would enjoy seeing more, as I'm sure other M-B enthusiasts would. :)

Fantastic episode . . the Lamborghini stuck behind the tractor is a real symbiotic moment.

It just struck me - how lucky we, the bunch interested in classic Italian - and American, and German, and British - and even French - automotive experience are, as the owner of this channel is not only a complete encyclopedia of data on these cars - but is also easy and pleasant to listen to, in other words - is a surprisingly decent journalist. Greetings from Latvia, happy New Year - and keep on beating on these old metals, and for god's sake - sharing it with us.

The SM is so beautiful! It's the most beautiful of them all

As always a total delight to watch Iain and his talented team work through some amazing restorations on equally amazing cars. The Ferrari Dino 246 Gt is one of those dream cars I always have loved, and luckily some years ago managed to have a ride in one. Just stunning. If i lived in the UK i would be honoured to have Iain and his team look after my minor Italian classics as i know they would be in the very best hands but alas I live in Tassie and hence have to make do with a local mechanic. Trying to find someone to do excellent restoration work here is extremely difficult as most bodywork shops are only interested in modern cars and insurance work.. Happy Christmas to you Iain and your team.

Good evening lain. Another superb presentation ! So much to see and so many great stories . I think we saw your young protege ! I think you saw your own reflection ! Thankyou so much for the past 12 months of magnetic , educational and just enjoying your chit chat .

Thank you very much Ian for continuing to provide inspiring, considered and informative content, without need for tacky gimmicks or horrendous acting.

So. Many. Lamborghini's. Lovely

Can’t wait to see the Citroen SM a fantastic futuristic and ahead of it’s time car. As was the Citroen DS Merry Christmas to you and your team.

Happy Christmas Iain - and thanks for an excellent channel! I can't have enough Miura coverage but am most curious to find out more about the Islero and had hoped that one would show up in your workshop sooner or later. I am looking forward to you demonstrating how it drives: is it a (slightly) more affordable Miura or Espada type GT car. Can't wait to find out!

A great look around your workshop at some wonderful cars, thankyou. I'd love to see a Bizzarini GT 5300 in your care and what you would say about it Iian, my absolute favourite classic, i owned one for 5 minutes in 1970 but thats a long sad Italian story. Christmas wishes to all at Tyrrell's Workshop from Rome👍🇬🇧

1:25 Funny, I knew that was a Miura as soon as I saw it. That’s testament to Iain and his channel, I wouldn’t have had a clue what it was a year ago. Keep up the good work.

You are working on a wonderful array of cars and are so fortunate to be able to enjoy your business so much. Although the Miura is my all-time favourite car I particularly look forward to watching your Citroen SM report. Your channel and Harry’s are the two best on KZread and long may you both prosper. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Ferguson Formula Jensen and Citroen are two of my favorites from 'across the pond' as they used to say.

The Espada is my all time favourite Lamborghini. Love seeing Harry’s Espada.

To buy the car that rekindled your love for cars is the ultimate dream of any car enthusiast. What a dream anecdote Ian. An enthu-cutlets fairytale!

Sunday afternoon's are reserved for an adult beverage and fresh episode of TCW. would love to come visit and intern for one week. Years ago, when in my mid to late 20's, I too met with an Italian Exotic, that I always wonder waht happened too. My customer brought us his Maserati Merak(red of course) We do a minor service and a full brake overhaul. (exotic green Castrol brake fluid) Of course he was a bit surprised at the bill, but we treated that car with kid gloves and went above and beyond the call of duty. Another glorious sounding engine, even if it was only a 6 cylinder. JT: Orlando, FLA

Brilliant video, I’ve watched it four times already, the cars that Mr Tyrrell gets in his work place are all very interesting and Mr Tyrrell even more so, Merry Christmas to all, 👍😀🎄👍👍.

You and Harry are my only regular stops; keep up the good work. Like Barry [below] I love the history and origins of each wonderful car in your care, but I really enjoy seeing the work happen. The Miura metal work and the Espada engine work was ...riveting, as was the Lagonda story. Can't wait for the Jensen and Citroën works. Happy Christmas.

Looking forward to see the SM video!
