This channel and Harry’s Garage is a fantastic combo occasionally crossing each other path. Many of the younger “ what will be my new daily” - I couldn’t give a ….. when the two aforementioned you actually learn because both know exactly what they are talking about from experience.

This kind of professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail is what made Britain the envy of the world. Thankfully Iain is still flying the flag🇬🇧

@@iain_tyrrell I wouldn't say thing go slowly! You put out a video per week. That is, in itself, an indicator of how hard you work on them, once you factor in getting the people involved and how you want to present the information and then editing to suit. I think your camera work is excellent and the audio is every bit as good. There are lots of other, lesser channels with lower production standards.

It's a neverending series of issues, the gas tank being a perfect example. You really have to have the passion (and deep pockets) to be a custodian of these gems.

I remember my boss buying a brand new F40 in 1989 and taking me for a ride that very afternoon, it was fantastic super car and the acceleration was out of this world.

Amazing video once again thank you! And yes we do need a “Craigs Corner” channel so we can be taught the dark arts of interior trim and material repair and restoration plus all the proper go to cleaning and maintenance with the appropriate products and applications used and why. All good stuff to boost confidence in tackling such subject matter. That Ferrari though… thanks for inviting us to its world. Keep up the amazing work and content.

It's hard to believe in this day and age, or even in the late 80s, that they can't make a material that is flexible but will not become porous and leak petrol. Great video as usual on my all time favourite car. I've had a model one sitting on a shelf for about 35 years now, sadly as close as I'm likely to get.

Fantastic content must be hugely satisfying working in this kind of workshop, when attention to detail is so important.

With regard to 'relatively modern' sagging headliners - it's not so much the failure of the glue but the serious degradation of the foam backing which effectively turns the foam into a 'pile of dust like particles'. The installation of a 'better quality' foam backing - if it exists - will help the situation.

Craig's Corner is a great name for the KZread channel. Would be lovely to see him go into all the intricate details about the craft.

Hello Ian the way you treat your staff is friendly and positive every time,the way it should be done ,it must be a great working environment .🌈

Bag tanks are one of the things that makes keeping a McLaren F1 on the road difficult. One of the thing Gordon Murray did in the new T50 is to put in an ordinary tank, to make them simpler to drive. Same with the tyres - standard sizes instead of the F1's odd size.

I think Craig's Corner has become my favourite part of the show

Doesn't seem that long ago that I was showing my lads an F40 at GrayPaul in Edinburgh. It was a £300K machine then. Unlike Frank Stephenson I am a sucker for a mesh rear panel. What a car and a spectacular restoration.

For the record, I would watch a 15 minute video of purely Craig's Corner about once a month

Wat an amazing car a testament to the time it was mad and to Ferrari thank you gentlemen

As a teenager I stood staring at an f40 at the NEC, also the Ferrari employees were of excellent structure and quality any young man would admire, a memory I will never forget, the employees were canny aswell.

The stuff of dreams. A couple of years back Nick Mason roared past us in his F40 just outside Cirencester. A few yards after the 30's limit. What a noise. Then his daughter went past in the Aston Ulster. I bet Scott (aka Ratarossa) is watching every last detail Iain!

I've always wondered about why the standard F40 exhaust was like this, thank you for the explanation.

This was a fantastic and highly interesting video of an F40's restoration. Well done 'Professor' Tyrrell!

Hi Iain. I must admit the F40 is my ultimate dream car so any video that features one is a must watch. I have definitely learnt a lot more about F40's just by watching your series of videos on the restoration of this car. I can still remember the day when I first laid eyes on one and it so happened to be parked next to my old Holden Commodore worth probably a couple of grand at that time. The F40 in question was painted yellow and in right hand drive. From what I can work out it was once owned by the Sultan of Brunei and it is one of only 7 converted by Pininfarina. In regards to the headlining failing, it is a common problem on late model Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons. Apparently the foam disintegrates due to our hot sun and the headlining then becomes an upside down parachute. Motor trimmers here are very proficient of replacing them, they just replace the foam and lining as one. My Holden ute's lining is held up in a similar fashion as this F40, just a few screws with the sunvisors and slips under the B pillar plastic trim. I guess if it is good enough for an F40, it is good enough for a ute.

Iain, I installed a CNC cutter in a factory way back in 1997, somewhere in south England, they cut the material for many bladder tanks, F1, Indy cars etc. seeing these out the car again has brought back fond memories, I forget the name of the company..

Yes Yes Yes😍 The Magnificent F40😍😍😍 What a superb job Sir IAIN cheers👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I'm probably the biggest fan of your work, Thanks for sharing Sir👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You did an awesome job on this car. I wish you do it on my favorite... 288 GTO.

What happened in my seats (and I've seen in other F40s) was the adhesive degraded and became black. The seats looked dirty but they were clean on the surface. It was the darkened adhesive that created the problem and the material sagged. I had mine redone, and they looked brand new. Love these seats. Thank you for explaining the cooling and turbo systems. It is such an amazing piece of engineering given the quick development.

These F40 vids may be the best ever!

The Luigi comment has me rolling 🤣

Have to wait to "find out". That will be delightful.

Thank you for the walk-through and the detailed explanations! If by chance you don't have time to test drive that and you need somebody I will PM you 😁 I heard somewhere just the other day what a huge percentage of these cars (F40) are hardly driven. And I guess this one at 20,000 km for its age is no exception I was watching some Ferrari shop on KZread in the San Francisco Bay Area the other day and he had one of these in his shop and it had not been driven in 14 years. Just sat in the garage And he was detailing all the things he had to do just because the thing was just sitting Of course with the cost of repairs and maintenance I can see why they are sparingly driven I had an encounter with one of these on our local freeway years ago I am looking in my rearview mirror and the profile is mysterious to me. I couldn't figure out what it was and then of course I saw the little yellow rectangular emblem on the front so I knew it was a Ferrari And he passed me slowly in the next lane and that engine sound was...bellissimo! Thank you again and I want you to know I've learned a lot from you watching your channel I was taking an old friend of mine - a long time Mercedes-Benz shop owner to lunch yesterday - and I was telling a little bit of the historical importance of the 70s era Porsche Carrera I still find it fascinating that all of the manufacturing processes today on aluminum engine blocks all stem from Porsche's need to expand their displacement and they didn't have room to do it conventionally and how the Mahle distributor suggested coating the cylinder walls with this process they used for an NSU wankel part All learned from Professor Tyrrell!

They did a marvellous job with the paint at Cheshire Prestige Paintworks, the amount of effort and good practice that went into that paint is now shining through. Better than when it lefthe factory but with the factory foibles left in. Amazing work!!

Take it for a spin!

Just stunning! What an episode!

Love seeing all the bits and bobs as you say. I never knew the headliner color in a F40. Always thought it was the color of the seats or dash. I have had the pleasure of seeing a few in person even on the road, just never noticed. Granted you have to really get down and look into the see the headliner when I'm focused on the seats and the shifter. My favorite F40 sighting was driving into an Indy F1 on Friday practice day. We were following a 360 Stradale proudly singing the song of his people, holding gears and giving it the boot between the red lights when a F40 popped up beside him. The 360 calmed down quite a bit. The 360 did sound quite nice but the situation was rather amusing. If you get the chance, I'd love to hear more on the history of F40 LM upgrades. You do a great job of covering all the interesting details. US DOT is weird, late to radial tires, and headlight upgrades but we get ugly 5mph bumpers. I have no logical explanation. C5, C6 and C7 Corvettes did get saddle tanks made from a rubberish plastic material but not nearly as flexible as the F40 tanks.
