Fantastic! My dad, David Wheeler raced a Vincent Blacklightning engined outfit. Before I was born! It was a prototype engine and the bike built around it. It had a double Manx Norton clutch and a dustbin faring. He is famous for the huge crash he had at the devels elbow, Mallory Park

You have to admire people like John for his passion and expertise , it’s a shame there are not more people like him

I wish my Father was still around to see this, an avid Vincent man he was.

KZread pointed me to this channel, for which I am eternally grateful!

What an incredible man, so humble and very clever, would love to meet him;

Wow the stories he could tell.. love these old school workshops, full of tricks and smart ideas

Fascinating little tour of this chaps classic workshop. Thank you very much for producing and uploading fella 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻

Hello Mr Fenwick, I only discovered you on here yesterday, so from one metal-botherer to another! BRAVO, keep up the great work. Most of my tools are over 200 Years old but I occasionally crossover and work with 20th century kit like this, like you most of which is Frankensteined from other kit. I fully understand your passion sir, Thank you so much for the peek inside what I can only describe as a temple of innovation!

Nice to see real machines being used, rather than those CNC things, I thought I was the only person still using a Beavermill, very nice machine, and very versatile, you need a bigger workshop, trouble is, you would never find anything!

john you are a god of a British genius seen you at the TT 2013 I remember your wedge outfits just out of this world [ vincent's rule ] live long John kind regards John D

Love this ❤️

ohh my god havent seen such a genius in the whole of my life- salutations to you john

What a legend,id love to potter around in there for a few hours.

In industrial Coventry in the50s 60s...70s there were guys like this in every st, dreadful shame that they are virtually all gone and their fabulous wealth of knowledge with them .
