Ian, we don't watch your channel so much for the specific cars, as for the way you present them. It's your personality and knowledge that sets the channel apart.

[@MrTimstaaa]

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself my friend.

[@ZenModLabs]

Most precisely put; thank you .

[@galeng73]

Indeed. As I've previously remarked, he knows more in his little finger than I will ever know - and I'm an avid collector. I learn something every time.

[@jeramiebradford1]

Agreed

[@fureyhiggins3289]

Could not agree more.

[@Gaspar40]

Iain, it’s not the specific cars or what you do with them that make your channel so great. It’s the way you talk about them - you’re an expert, an enthusiast and one hell of a storyteller. You have one of the best car channels on youtube.

[@stephen300o6]

Though saying how uninteresting this would be every five minutes rather dilutes the message.

[@martinboulden4388]

Iain never underestimate how much we all enjoy your content. Your client’s cars and video production is brilliant entertainment. Thank you. ❤

[@d.j.vanderschoot3717]

Exactly. When does Ian get wise to the fact that the subject matter of the videos is only part of it, a huge chunk is the way the presenters react to it? That's all the fun.

Between this channel and Harry's Garage I look forward to Sundays. They are the 'good ole days' happening right now.

[@audioisgood]

Ian, you cheerfully cleaning up the litter from the flaking manuals is one of the best bits of this. Those moments of personality are what make channels like yours special.

[@WizzardPrang]

This Ferrari is very lucky to have "found" you as its owner. The fact that it is one of your own makes your passion and determination to bring it back to life all the more special.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

You and your colleagues saved a fine example of this vehicle. One takeaway is that fine machinery should be driven and maintained rather than stored and ignored.

[@bhumiriady]

I have to admit, that is so fascinating learning about the backstory and restoration of the Ferrari 360 Spider! As always, I really enjoyed the video so much. Keep up the awesome work, sir!

Dear Mr. Tyrrell, I am a humble 27 year old fan from Iran, and I cannot express how much I love your videos, sir. They are absolutely superb. I have always been a petrolhead all my life, but you have added greatly to my love of cars. Thanks.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you very much. Greetings to you!

[@neoplan6116]

Ok Iain, just for the records some math: chassis + 4 wheels + petrol engine + your workshop + you talking about it = always beautiful content we love! So easy.... 😉😘😂

[@AFrenchman31]

I love how Ian talks about the “flappy paddles” of the F1 transmission - he doesn't need to say anything more!!

[@michaelsummerell8618]

As other's have said, it's not so much the car but Iain's passion, personality, knowledge and engagement that pulls viewers to this channel, along with the refined and tasteful way each video is presented. This is a fantastic turn around and I'm pleased to see this car has been given a new chance to shine. I really hope that a paint correction might be on the cards for it at some point, although I appreciate that's not top of the priority list on this sort of restoration. Congrats Iain and team, job's a good 'un!

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you indeed!

[@Paul-tk2my]

This demonstrates the folly of ‘storing’ a car and not keeping check on it. I’m sure a lot of us feel better knowing that Ian has the same limitations with paint repair 😃. Well done for saving a great modern classic

[@nigel.w]

I hope to see a future video of the paintwork being professionally sorted and detailed to make it a little more presentable and prevent more corrosion. It's such a great car, it deserves it.

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

How a car makes you feel is more important than its outright performance. Superb restoration and a joy to drive.

[@ianpluves]

I think the smile on Iain's face when he's driving the 360 speaks volumes. Well done on bringing the car back to life.

[@davidvivian596]

Iain, the smile on your face when you opened the taps on this 'back to life' car, was wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@GrahamNicholson56]

Lovely to see Iain's connection to this beautiful car and his explanation of the trials and tribulations of bringing her back to life. Clearly there is a special bond between the pair that shines through in this video.

[@yugo4576]

Dear Ian, there might be lot of Ferrari videos out there but I can safely say I speak for majority of viewers here: we want YOUR Ferrari video, not just anyones video. You present any car with class and humbleness which most you tube videos lack greatly.

[@toadattoadhall]

When you ‘give it the beans’ your smile says it all. A great video!

[@Kenjh71]

These videos are highly interesting not only because of the cars, but the presentation by the ever eloquent and stupendously knowledgeable Iain Tyrrell.

Highlight of the video for me - "Just because we can". A few words to live by!

[@terrysandoe3531]

It’s just heart warming that car had you to save it from extinction. The beauty of bringing a car back from the brink what gives us all joy. Like other programmes mr Brewer does, it’s just great to see a car rescued and back in use, the financial and logistical hurdles sometimes seem insignificant compared to the need to save another motoring soul. Your videos bring so much knowledge, joy and pleasure to so many of us petrol heads Iain. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@boycem8686]

I appreciate that your advertisements are quick and silent. It’s classy.

[@williamjacobs9065]

From Los Angeles, California, great video. Enjoyed your blue shirt to go along with the Ferrari. What better person to restore a neglected barn find than you and your staff. Having to cut out the rear window to gain access to the car's interior is unreal along with the photo of a corrosion encrusted aluminum gauge panel. It's refreshing to see a restoration on a car that wasn't purchased at auction for millions of dollars. Take care and enjoy your new ride.

[@fw1421]

Ian and I seem to have similar taste in type of cars. I don’t like modern Ferrari’s,but 360’s speak to me. I love this particular spec car. It looks great in that blue with the tan interior. One of the best looking spiders out there. I live in North Texas so a drop top most of our year is too hot. I can’t understand how someone would spend that kind of money on a Ferrari and just put it in a barn and leave it to rot. Gladly Ian saved it and it’s in the right hands now. Thank you Ian for showcasing this beautiful car.

[@HughTFYT]

Ian, you’ve spent your whole career restoring and maintaining wonderful cars for their owners to enjoy - so great to see you’ & the team have finally restored one for YOU to enjoy! Brilliant job and you can tell that you’re so delighted with it and you so deserve it! A boys road trip with Harry in his Testarossa perhaps? 🤔👍😀

[@albertperks3476]

Good on you for resurrecting the car - if anyone could Iain it's you. Can't believe that damp would do that amount of damage on a 14K mile car.

[@wcads623]

Such a waste of a good car. Why do owners seem to hang onto cars too long storing them badly causing so much damage? I am sure Iain will look after it now.

[@mattmaher3814]

Ian. Anything you are invoiced with is well worth being on KZbin. Informative, entertaining, and a good way to spend some downtime on Sunday.

Happy to see it was saved. It is a beautiful spec and once sorted, a low mileage gated manual is pretty special. Congratulations.

I love that shade of blue. Very much of its era. Ferreri used it for their Motor Show cars at the time.

Love my 2001 Spider. My friend and I just put in a new clutch, top, trans mount and upgraded the TCU. Getting involved with the maintenance makes you feel more confident in the car. Love your videos on the classics. Keep up the good work and enjoy that 360!

[@limer4330]

As a dreamer, I would say any Ferrari is better than no Ferrari. I like how you fell into this one and now you have a soft spot for it. I also appreciate that you did the work required to make it a sound car, and didn't get hung up on the finish of the body. The car looks fantastic. Enjoy.

I think it's safe to say the worse an idea that a video feels Iain means you really have to make it! It's incredible seeing you bring back the cars of yester year but to some of your albeit younger viewers this could well be the car they had on their wall as a child.. Given how much you and your team give to each and every car that goes back to an owner who places their faith in you, this video is perfect as we actually see you get something out of all your hard work. To the victor go the spoils keep up the great work and look forward to the next video.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks! Fiat 130 coupe. There is a vid on the channel about these if you scroll through the back catalogue

[@gregedmand9939]

As I have watched Tavarish working to resurrect his ocean-dunked P1, I've marveled at anyone who is willing to take on a car that's been left to the ravages of water. Especially one as dependant on extensive electronics. My last working career was as an aviation electronics tech for a company called Bristol Aerospace. Overhauling and upgrading a jet fighter's kilometers of wiring and instruments was quite an introduction into what water can do to wreak havoc. Including to aluminum. It's hard to picture someone abandoning a new Farrari in some humid garage for the past 20 years. That you had the patience to work through that little 360's soggy past is awe inspiring. It would have been marvelous to have seen it in progress! ... As for how well Freddy will succeed... Time will tell. I don't envy him troubleshooting the systems on that P1, especially since he has tried to keep the old wiring harness.

[@geoffh2560]

Really lovely to see this car brought back to life with such attention to detail.

[@bobcoats2708]

What a beautiful car! So glad it fell to you to rescue it, Iain, and glad you found the resolve to do so. Love the noises - the engine of course, and the clicky sounds of the gear change. Wonderful!

[@trainmanbob]

In all the time I have watched and enjoyed your content I have never found anything to criticise....until now. How on earth Iain you can even think that we would not be interested in anything you have to show or tell us about? I watch this channel for two reasons. 1 The car itself and 2 the exquisite way you present everything with loads of history and detail. If the next video is about the life story of a nut and bolt from a historical car then I'm there watching. Great video!! Cheers, Bob

[@johna1160]

This sadly neglected orphan surely hit the jackpot when Iain adopted it. Could not have landed in better hands. Was stunned by the amount of corrosion accumulated throughout the entire car just from sitting. Hard to believe it was stored indoors, as in a structure with a roof! For the instruments to collect and hold so much standing water, and for corrosion to occur under the paint, you would think it was subjected to more than one deluge, or was actually submerged at one point. I know the UK is generally damp (how else the lush green flora?), but I had no idea just how much.

[@theswissdriver]

You're spot on regarding the steering. I've had a 430 and a 599, plus other brands like porsche or BMW, and the modena has the best steering. The weight it has but without being heavy, is just fantastic.

[@giorgio262]

[@WilfredZweverink]

Iain, for all I care you could fix up an old Mini Metro you found on the road side in Clunkersfield. It's about the way you tell it's story, and the road reviews are a great bonus to that. Thank you, as always... The project reminds me a bit of my MG TF, that was brought back to life after being in the backyard of a JDM car dealer for seven years. Nobody bought it as he was a Subaru WRX, Toyota Supra etc. sort of garage. Everything was seized, stuck, moldy etc. It's a much more modest roadster of course, but like your 360 it's now technically sound, though still needing some love on the optics.

[@georgezahorcak7764]
