Between you and Harry, why do we need TV. Thank you. Epic

The sound of that V8 is sensational 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

What a fantastically wonderful sound.

I just love the 70's sports cars, no spoilers or active aero. Just tons of character (and dodgy build quality). My dream garage consists mostly of 60's and 70's cars. I'll need a few though just so at least a few of them work!! Well done Iain. 👌👌

Fortunate to drive a Urraco in the late 80s, brought back great memories. Thank you Mr Tyrrell.

9:50 I need to make that my ringtone

A beautifully proportioned car. Wonderful noise. Iain's smile says it all.

To me, the styling of the Urraco is timeless (the Jalpa - not so much). I very much appreciate it when you provide historical context; very enjoyable indeed, and it is one (of many) thing that sets you apart. Looking forward to Parts 2 & 3!

Look at an Urraco and a Countach from 1973 parked next to eachother. Then look at a Jalpa and Countach from 1980 parked next to each . It is very seldom the sequel looks better than the original.

How this man knows so many complex cars in such minute detail is almost beyond comprehension. Most tuners focus on one marque and devote a career to mastering it. And unlike most tech experts, Iain is masterful at explaining a car's intricacies to us punters.

Well I enjoyed that Tyrrell brought back some wonderful memories having had the pleasure of driving one of these for a week, I can concur this has one of the most amazing sounding engines, fast it isn't but the mechanical tunes is close to an orchestra of pistons and valves in harmony. One thing which we didn't experience was the startup. To start the engine you had to pump the throttle 3x to fill the carbs and when turning the key the lazy starter would allow all the cylinders to fire individually until all 8 erupted in symphony!! The oil/petrol smells were sublime and the interior was pure 70's Italia. To drive I to felt it wasn't something to throw down a road especially with the old tyres, it wasn't particularly fast, but as an experience it was amazing. Thank you Tyrrell looking forward to your next review!!

Another Jewell of a car. Watching this and Harry’s video makes you realise how seriously we have lost the plot. Today’s cars are so massively over weight, one can’t help but wonder where we’d be if a different direction had been taken by legislators and manufacturers. One thing an electric car will never do is sound like a V8 or a flat six or drive like these two cars do, we are undoubtedly in the process of loosing something precious. Two fabulous videos thanks to Iain and Harry.

Very true. Today's cars have grown enormously in size (compare an original Mini or Focus with it's modern counterpart, for example). Add the extra bracing, etc to pass crash tests and obesity is the inevitable result.

I'm with you except a little more optimistic about electric. The EV's problem is its inefficient battery, which adds weight and limits range. There is hope that upcoming solid-state battery technology will cure this. When you think about it, the electric motor is light-years ahead of the internal combustion engine in power delivery and efficiency. A high-performance electric car that incorporates new battery technology would have a different set of virtues from a gas-engined car, but I can see how it would have an appeal of its own.

Always thought the urraco was understated stunner, & never really had the exposure it deserved! Thankyou Iain for another great history lesson too!

I was wondering what all the fuss was about the exhaust note until 13:55 then Oh I get it! I also have to be fair and recalibrate my ear not to compare it to some of the 500+ hp V8’s we have today.

I've owned a 3litr and a Jalpa. Wait to you hear the Jalpa with the roof off. An unloved car but you will want after Ian has done his stuff. Well done again.

The master at work, tuning carbs! I can watch him work all day!! 👍👍

Somewhere I still have a copy of the edition of Car, with the cover page proclaiming words to the effect of 'At last, a Lambo for the workers!' Thanks, Iain, for another fine video.

These are all beautiful baby Lambo’s, always had a soft spot for each of these cars, watching you tune the carburettors on the Urracco was special, it’s always great to watch a master technician at work!

You're like a kid in a candy store when driving this thing Tyrrell! I love the way you tune these carbs. I used to tune carbs on trucks a long time ago but with a meter.

15 minute carb tune, 4 hour test drive... seems like a solid plan!

Watching you tune the carburetors is truly a privilege. Thank you.

If Iain would make a 3hour podcast just saying random words, I would still listen. Love this channel, everything is just perfect.

I clicked the like button soon as I heard that engine! Now over to that incredible T.50's engine melody.

Have to say, I love seeing Iain listening to the carbs via a pipe to tune them.

Always loved the Urraco, perfect filling of its wheel arches and stance. I had a metallic-green model (Corgi? Matchbox? Really can't remember now) when I was 11 or 12, and the Wheeler Dealer guys got one in the same colour to work on a while back. Perfect colour for it IMO. I was royally p!ssed-off at Clarkson, Hammond and May for abusing one almost to destruction - they must have known how rare it is. ETA >> I guess Iain will cover this later, but they did enlarge the engine to 3l (and changed it to chain-driven quad-cam, presumably regretting image of a built-to-a-price belt/single cam and returning to a more traditional 'Italian thoroughbred' design) for the last couple of hundred Urracos (out of only 700 total).

The yellow Uracco is breathtakingly gorgeous,

Thanks Iain, another very enjoyable "Behind the Scenes" video at the workshop. Italian born V engines, regardless of 6, 8 or 12 cylinders all seem to sound ANGRY! I love them. Whether it's a Busso V6 or a Columbo V12, they are sweet, sweet music which is such a vital element to the enjoyment of any classic car. Looking forward to enjoying parts 2 & 3 of the Baby Bulls.

What would the vintage car world do without Tyrrell’s expert hearing and knowledge.

I must say it, as someone who has watched every single one of your videos, a few things really came out on this video Iain. Firstly, the whole video seemed to flow really well, you’re obviously becoming a seasoned presenter now! Secondly, the SOUND! What a noise that car makes and it shows on your face when you push on the accelerator peddle! Can’t wait for the next two in this series, credit where it’s due, you’re doing a really superb job!

I have never come across a better explaining car specialist than Mr. Tyrrell - really impressive - this man is the real deal - he know all the little details that makes his videos so special - not to mention that he seems to be kind and gentle with a fine sense of humor and his relaxed and calm way to explain things is really wonderful!

never want my Sunday afternoon Tyrell videos to end. Love ❤️ them all. Thanks so much for doing this. It brightens us all up takes us back to the glory days of ( in my case my) youth and driving fast cars no Speed Cameras width restrictions sleeping policemen just the freedom of the open road.

Pure class. Such a great car and the induction sound from that engine is glorious. I really miss having such a direct link between foot, throttle and something happening. Modern cars and their drive by wire is totally numb when compared to a good old cable making something happen as asked and not when the computer thinks your ready for a bit more power. Roll on Part 2 & 3 :)

The sound of that V8 is indeed glorious, and the smile it puts on Iain's face is fabulous! Living the dream Sir... living the dream.

Wow just listened to two of the sweetest sounding engines back to back. The other over @ Harrys. Luv how you showed the missed gear in the vid… it happens to the best…. the right gear is somewhere in the box.

One of my all time favorite cars. I love the design... I love the Mid engine V-8. When I'm rich, I will have a 911, but would put my Uracco by its side. I drove in a Jalpa once.. It indeed sounded amazing! Thank you for showing this jewel.

With so many current cars the pure simplicity of many old cars were. Thus today we get noise, but from that Lambo it is music :-)

Nice piece of car history, I knew little about this Lamborghini.

Thanks Iain, what a treat! Urracos get little attention, so can't wait for the three episodes! Maybe you can consider a future episode on that other 'forgotten' smaller exotic, the Maserati Merak?

It sure did sound fabulous, amazing

It's amazing to me that the first car I had with MacPherson struts in it was a 1973 Mercury Capri 2.6 V6. (Or was it a 2.8L?). I bought it in about 1984 when I was 17 or so. Then I bought another one. These were the European Ford cars that were imported from Germany to Canada at the time. I didn't know what they were when I got the car (Neither the Struts nor the cars LOL) but I knew they needed the Struts to be replaced on both badly. The first car I bought had been massively Modified and had the 2.6L V6 bored out to close to 3 liters I think and race cam and pistons added as well as Hooker Headers Edlebrock High Rise Manifold and four barrel Carb. The thing went like MAD!! I remember driving it to see how fast it's top speed would be and I broke the Speedo (it was going out already lol) but not until I wrapped it round the dial to the "M" on the "MPH" written at the bottom of the speedometer way past the 140mph mark. LOL. It is still one of the dumbest things I think I ever did because the struts were so bad that the car was hopping up and down as the road undulated and it was just insanely Sketch! LOL> I miss those two cars! At least I still have a picture of it with the huge whale tail it had.

You sure woke up the Cheshire folks on that run.

Urraco was always a real looker...lovely motor! Great vid Iain, as ever. ☺️👍🏻

no one love those but the junior supercar are my favorite, particularly those later italian tax evading 2.0l

I have seen Jalpas, I have even seen a Silhouette (of which only 51 were made) but I have yet to see an Urraco with my own eyes!

Can’t beat itb’s engine sound. 😋👌👌

Owned and drove daily a silver Australian delivery 3000 for years. Loved it. Super reliable. I used to start it up just to listen to the engine rip the airwaves. Sounded like a 60s grand prix racer and the snap, crackle pop on the overrun was a hoot. I let my wife do the schoolrun with my daughters just so I could listen to the engine sound disappear into the distance. If you ever get the chance to own a 3000, do not hesitate.

Wow ! That sound

Olivetti! That brings back memories of stylish if not great PCs from the 80s. They’re still around as company today too, apparently. Anyway, the Urraco is so much better looking than its successors IMO, especially the blocky heavy looking Jalpa. Which I thought was already quite ugly when it was new!

Thanks for that Wonderful V8 Music!
