Ferrari 456 GT - Recovering lost power from the Italian V12 | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

This Chap is the closest I've ever seen to being a true "Wise Man". His narrative is conversational and deeply informative as it is riveting to listen to. You learn and retain because you're not being talked down to as if you were an imbecile- too many "car guru's", talk down to us, but not this Chap. He is self deprecatingly efficient in his discourse and thoroughly absorbing. I, like others wish he did a daily edition. Thanks again and to Harry Metcalfe for seeding this channel.

You couldn't have said it any better.

[@davidweston9115]

And he is humble too. Many mechanics call themselves technicians, and when they have a workshop with $4,000,000 worth or cars they act like they have royal blood, and come off as sanctimonious pompous blowhards, and oftentimes have little info other than wikipedia stats, plus how great they are, with the emphasis on the latter. This guy reminds me of my last great mechanic who was born in 1910 and died in 1989. Since then I have been through 25 mechanics, one of whom gave back the car with no coolant (hence no overheating shown on coolant gauge, since there was no coolant to gauge), and it burned up the motor in one day. And of course he pretended like he did fill it with coolant and it was just time for that car to die of old age on that day.

Frankly, he grates on me.

I as paid considerably less to do so...

[@energyflow7564]

If you have a track or mountain bike the speeds adjustment is similar too. Sometimes some things stretch or get rattled a bit and needs fine adjustments so you don't grind down something and need to buy new parts or even a new bike. Things lasts forever if you care for them.

Stockholm, Sweden: HM King Carl-Gustaf had one of these 456 in exactly the same colour as the one in this episode. HMK used to drive it himself quite often with the police in one car in front and another ahead of him. Remember him almost running me over in a crossing in the early 00's. HM Queen Silvia in the passenger seat looked quite baffled when I waved at them and smiled.

[@NLBassist]

The Dutch Prince Bernhard, husband of our former Queen, owned many Ferrari's over the years, one of them a green 456. I had the 1/18 Bburago with the AA-13 number plate he used. He was a personal friend of Enzo.

[@arneklepp4950]

As a kid I had a Bburago model car at my grandparent's home in exactly this blue spec. and couldn't wait to play with it, whenever we visited. One day, I saw it parked on the street in the town next to our village also in this beautiful blue. Remember it, as if it was yesterday. One of the most underrated Ferraris in my POV. I always loved it. Thank you for bringing back these memories. Amazing work. Keep it up. Greetings from Austria. PS: This gated shifter ❤❤❤

The 456 has been on of my favourite 90's Ferrari for years. Looks absolutely gorgeous and at the same time, so underrated. They climbed up in price in recent years (as everything else) but still great value for money for that prancing horse badge. Also, 4 adults can actually fit in it and has a decent sized boot, so it's quite practical if you need more reasons to convince the missus to buy one.

I once held off the Porsche boys in my van, only because I knew that road like the back of my hand - they saluted me when we arrived in San Pedro - great days.

Thanks Iain for giving the 456 some attention. I drive a M for over 12years and it is really superb. Steering, ride comfort and this V12 driveability are the best. OK, brakes are not up to today's standards, but my God ....this design is pure art. 3/4 rear is the best for me and taking it out for a spin makes my day!!!

I used to adjust the throttle body on Renault back in the 90s and it always made a huge difference to the way the engine performed. My customers if they borrowed my car would ask me why their car didn't perform as well and I used to adjust for them. It always put a smile on their faces

Awesome piece. I owned a 456 GTM for 18 months or so 10 years ago and loved it. I had to choose between it and a 550 and though the 550 was fabulous and a more muscular drive, the added practicality and sheer beauty of the 456 swayed me. I quite fancy another if I can find the right one. Edited to add.. and the pop up headlights. I never got sick of playing with those. Plus, it was one of the easiest cars that I've ever driven to have a little slide in... super progressive and very manageable. Brakes were a bit of a worry from high speed, though. They gave me a nervous moment more than once on the autobahn.

[@howardlake6178]

What a great summary of the 456. I agree it has an understated elegance that has been missing lately, although the Roma is a return to form. The long intake tracts across the engine were also there to boost torque, and of course now things to improve the torque/power balance across the rpm spectrum are a lot more complex. First came variable tract length and then, from I think the F12 onward, a pair of resonance chambers on the front of the plenums. These help form standing pressure waves in the plenums, again to ensure high pressure arrives at the end of each tract at the right time to help the mixture into the engine. All too clever for me!

Thank you for another great, informative installment Iain. That 456 in blue is lovely and understated. Great to learn some more technical information about these great cars. Your knowledge is truly encyclopedic!

Iain and Harry.....best car channels on KZbin for me.

[@philrodrigues9270]

Tyrell changed my mind on this Ferrari model but that v12 and gated shifter are amazing. Great work Tyrell 👍

[@makosasimakis118]

This gentleman know what to say and how to speak ! Huge knowledge about cars ! And pleasant to hear !

[@paulleggett9735]

456 is the forgotten ferrari. its the most beautiful in the last 30 years in my humble, if worthless , opinon. its also a complete bargain....for now

[@DoctorDARKSIDE]

Thank you so much Iain, this prompted me to adjust the throttle cable on a couple of my cars - you're a master as usual.

[@vanlifenomad]

Massively knowledgeable, straight talk with no ego etc, brilliant KZbin channel

[@idealstandard3692]

A great video, I love the 456 having owned two. My first Ferrari and not one I will ever forget

[@frankchan5547]

Great video. Years ago on my Alfa Romeo Busso V6 3.0 I had the throttle cable adjusted and it dramatically improved the responsiveness on initial acceleration and fully opened.

[@jimworthington449]

The amount of knowledge thar Mr Tyrrell has is legendary. I could listen to it all day long.

[@p00pie]

So fascinating. Something so simple only comes from the wisdom of working on cars for a long time.

[@nigolt.4345]

This is such a brilliant channel. Excellent Work A+++

[@paleologo1487]

Greetings from Marbella! Yes, the road that you refer is AWESOME

[@SuperLuckyCat7]

Well... Sir Tyrrell; you one of the Giants amongst KZbinrs; comprehensive advice on Xpert stuff. I'd take on a Lambo rebuild any day after nourishing your channel 🤩. You're such an Xcellent tutor in automotive issues 👍❤️

[@RustyPetterson]

When he eventually becomes knighted for services to KZbin, you will address him as "Sir Iain", thank you very much :p haha.

[@SuperLuckyCat7]

@@RustyPetterson My bad, offcourse it'll be Sir Iain ;-) Nonetheless; Automotive Royalty if any..

[@marcjaggi358]

Thank you for the throtlecable tip. I am on the way to check it on my classic car.👍

[@daems65]

Came along with Harry’s Espada and definitely here to stay, thank you so much for opening your Classics vault for us! Don’t know if anyone mentioned it before but when I close my eyes sometimes I hear Alan G Partridge talking, such a nice touch.

[@Xyzabc998]

there is something fascinating about watching engineers work. Great vids. completely agree about the 456 and a non F1 interior too.

[@salvatoredipietro7174]

Great video and commentary Ian - thanks for imparting the knowledge and wisdom

[@gregmack67]

A youTube channel where the author actually knows what they are talking about - brilliant. Reminds me to lift the bonnet on my V12 and adjust the cable. 168k miles, it will definitely need adjustment :)
