Never in my life would I ever expect to listen to someone explain the smallest detail of a wiper blade. Then, to put into perspective just how important that detail is. No one has matched Ian's ability to capture your intrigue!

I work as a development engineer/ toolmaker and forty years ago i had it drummed into my head by all of the old boys that taught me, about attention to detail. That advice has stood me in very good stead every day of my working life. I look forward to these films every week, its part of my sunday evening ritual to relax before the Monday to Friday stress fest.

I was a 21-year-old visiting Italy in late 1972 and had my heart on renting a Dino from Hertz (yes, Hertz rented Dino's in Rome back then). Cost for a day would have been about a hundred dollars which was a bargain, in my mind, for being given the chance to drive what i thought was the most beautiful car in the world. Miuras and 275GTBs aside. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be as I was informed at the rental counter that the minimum age for the Dino rental 25. Fifty one years later, I still love this car.

IMHO, The Dino is one of the most pleasing shapes for a car ever conceived. It’s so wonderful there are still experts around that know how to properly care for, and love these beautiful machines. Congratulations to the entire team that has worked of this project. Absolutely amazing work by brilliant craftsmen.

Couldn’t agree more. My fave is the 275GTB then this. Worked at a Shell Station next to Newport Imports in the early 70’s. These were about $8k. I was making like $2 an hour.

I think the Dino is quite possibly the most beautiful car ever, it doesn't have a bad angle anywhere, simply breathtaking .

I remember a period during the '80s when the Dino was commonly considered to be the unwanted stepchild of the Ferrari family whereby it was consequently available on the used car market for a relative pittance.

Though I will never afford even the most modest car that Ian and his shop work on, it is such a pleasure to see a craftsman at work.

The Dino, the 512 and the 308. Golden Age for Ferrari.

A very happy New Year to you Iain Tyrrell. I do hope King Charles gives you a Knighthood in the New Year’s Honours List. Your contribution to the World of Automobiles is beyond my ability to describe.

The details do make the difference. A few years ago I had moved from Toronto to Heidelberg and was in the process of placing an order for a 911. On a trip back to Toronto I stopped into a Porsche dealer and asked a salesman to recommend options that his customers valued. He told me to order, among other things, the aluminum look fuel filler cap. I did and every time I visit a petrol station and open the fuel flap I have to smile at this little gem. Keep up the good work Iain, you’re a dying breed of craftsman that keeps us connected to a time when doing things the right way was the only way.

As a youngster in 1968, while going to university, I worked the late shift at JFK for a cargo Airline called Seaboard World. One night one of our stretch DC8's arrived from Europe with a cargo that included three pallets loaded with three Dino's (red, yellow, blue/black). It was dark, I had no idea what they were, but the overhead lights let me see enough to convince me that these might be the most beautiful machines my young self had ever seen. To this day, next to the GTO's and Boxers, I believe the Dino was and is a most magnificent 'Ferrari". It's a pleasure to watch you and your very talented team work your magic. Happy New Year....from NYC.

Valeo still make wipers in Issoire France. Great products.

Iain, if you wish to compete in concourse, lack of original wiper blades is a points deduction. I have seen competitors take off the plastic blades and fit (with reverence) the originals. It may sound over the top, but the concourse cars are at a level most of us do not understand. The correct transfers, stickers and oil change stickers have to be original. This is really the only way the judges can pick a winner. And yes, they are "trailer queens". That is a beautiful car so well restored. You have every reason to be proud.

It is always delightful to see the wrok of people who not only do the job correctly without cutting any corners, but also with passion.

It's the attention to smallest of details, when combined with encyclopedic knowledge (such Mr. Tyrrell's wiper blade obsession) that make the difference between the competent and the truly exceptional... It's an admirable thing to watch, like Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Car or David Grainger from The Guild. Absolute masters, commanding teams of absolute masters, producing the highest quality of work on the most high stakes of historic machines. They never make it look easy, but you can see where the money goes when commissioning work from shops like that.

My dream remains to someday be responsible for a Dino with the help of Ian. In the meantime, this was a lovely way to celebrate 2023. Thanks

With all that wiper detail I thought I was watching a HubNut video!

She's a beauty. Looking forward to the test drive in 2024

Fantastic again… this is art restoration and history conservation. Very important and so nice that you share this with us🙏😊

Years ago, I used to design systems for searching databases of patents. When I made marketing materials and presentations I habitually chose windscreen wiper blades as the example inventions. This was a cunning plan to remind our potential clients of our products whilst they were driving home in the rain. It also helped that wipers had some of the prettiest artwork in the patents. Windscreen wipers need more coverage, they have remarkable ingenuity and design in them. Happy New Year to you all and looking forward to seeing more restorations.

Many years ago i restored a Dino body and paint for the manager of the Fox and Coney pub in South Cave Yorkshire . When i was working at JCT 600 as the painter the works manager who hated me grabbed me and said "I am going to show you a proper paint job" .I followed him to the showroom and there was the Dino and Steve the owner lol . I said "Hi Steve the Dino is still looking superb ,can't believe your selling it" . I walked away and gave the works manager the middle finger lol .John the general manager was bent over laughing .Steve the owner rang me later and i explained what had happened .

The scoop in the door and intake are probably some of the sexiest automotive design pieces ever thought up

My TOP favorite vintage car. Amazing job you guys !

More fabulous content and the restoration looks incredible. I imagine the new owner is absolutely delighted - he made a wise choice to put it in your hands Iain.

Best looking car ever

Some years ago I finally got to enjoy a drive (at full song 😁) in a red Ferrari Dino 246 Gt. I will always remember this as the Dino is and remains my dream car. I know I will never be able to afford one but at least I can say I have had a drive in one. Truely special. This Dino’s restoration is simply stunning. it’s such a jewel of a car. Well done to you and your team Iain. 👍

What a great job and what a way to end the year. Can't wait for 2024!

I love original period radios and can never understand why anyone would want to upgrade them. They are part of the "soul" of the car. My 1973 Mercedes has its original Becker radio cassette. It all works and suits music of the era.

This is a beautiful car - and it is so much better than new! I know them as they were new (Dinos were a common sight in Austria back then) and the building quality was quite bad. A friend of the family worked with car electrics and had always funny storys of these to tell... (it anybody thinks British cars of the 70 were the worst: they could compete with Dinos!) Panels without paint on the inside for example - that's why they rusted so bad. Dinos were used as a daily driver and after the first winter the troubles started. As you said: Ferraris were not build to last 50 years. But: not this example. This will take the next 50 years without troubles! Amazing work, thank you for sharing this story with us! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!

Iain, you’re a man after my own heart. I think someone well known in the car industry long ago once said ‘Get the details right, and the money will look after its self’ ! How true that still is … mostly… Thank you for sharing with us ! Super stuff !

A Happy New Year to you Mr. Iain, from South Dakota! I am currently restoring a '76 GT/4. Returning the color from "resale red" back to original Nocciola, (copper/gold). The little car has 99,909 miles, the work celebrates the next 100,000 miles!! ❤

For a Dino they MUST be Arman wiper blades to be OEM. Odd he did not claim that...

Love the wiper story! And the number plate insight. My mate's dad in St Helen's had a 246 in the 1970's (an 'L' plate...as did our family dentist - a 'K' plate! (Two red beauties in the same Lancashire town). I drooled over them as a boy. And very much looked forward (!) to going to the dentist.

I agree with your review of the wipers. I have viewed many worthy car restorations that have been compromised by the use of modern and inappropriate wipers assemblies. The worst part is the said component is 'front and centre' when you view the car.

Now You say it the back is busy with all the badges, I like the idea of Dino GT.

I am 100% with you on the wiper blade issue!

Brilliant video as usual , cannot get enough of how Iain gets his point across and informs us how quirky some of these Cars are. More please .

Enzo: "Don't put Ferrari on the Dino in case it dilutes the brand." Today: "Today we launch the Purosangue, a big heavy Range-Rover-alike!"

Wow, that's showcased everyones skills and saved the car from the scrap heap

I admire your attention to detail, also the knowledge you have, that allows you to know what is and is not correct. The car is absolutely stunning, the only thing missing, was hearing the engine running.

I could look at that car 'til my eyes dropped out. Even if I could afford one,, I couldn't fit in it. Back in the late-80's I had a Fiat 246 Dino Coupe,,, a bit of a rustbox,,, but what a glorious noise when it was running,,, which was rarely.

Great to get some Classic workshop time in at Tyrrell's! Looking forward to 24' projects👍🏼

Glad you mentioned the Blaupunkt radio....they were so far ahead of the game in the late 60s and early 70s..They had FM and also a tape feed in the rear which you can easily feed in as MP3 feed...so ideal for today..50+s years later...and look great...

One of these in yellow has undergone a painstaking 12 year restoration and sold for £315,000 on ' Car's & classics' They're a total peach of a car and one of my particular favourites.

30 years ago Quentin Wilson presented BBC Top Gear Classic Cars, in that video he featured an E type and a Dino, afterwards he asked the question, if you had £25,000 to spend on a Classic sportscar would you choose an E type or a Dino, that has to be one of the hardest questions to answer, how values have risen in 30 years

What a pleasant surprise this Saturday morning showcasing a gorgeous car. Mr. Tyrrell keep it up, who would have thought that learning about wiper blades would be so interesting. Your enthusiasm over the nerdy bits makes me smile every time, thank you.

Well back in 1972 i drove my Series 2 etype drophead 1970 powder blue into a petrol station in Leeds. A man approached me & commented on the condition of the car. He then offered me a deal to swap for his LHD Silver 246gt. Cannot remember the mileage. Mine was circa 34,000. I declined the offer after sitting in his car , which was lovely but not for me. This brought back memories of that time. Thanks for sharing. Steve.

Watching from Denmark. I love this/your channel. Ians attention to detail, knowledge, passion, insight and of course the excellent job done to these very beautyfull cars.

Regrettably the fitted exhaust is NOTHING like the original Ansa unit that would have been fitted. The shape is totally different and so too is the exhaust path making the use of stainless as a construction material a secondary worry. While I hold a lot of respect for Iain and his team, there is a LOT wrong with this Dino and it is far from being able to score well at a Concours. I am a little surprised to the sheer number of things I see wrong with this car and disappointed that they were not caught. I can assure you this car is miles from the 'World's Best Dino'.

Love the attention to detail
