From Miura to Magnum: Gandini's Iconic Designs Explained | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

[@antoniobravetti7483]

Your emotion when proudly showing the book with those personal messages from both Gandini and Dallara is clearly evident and appreciated by us the followers of your wonderful channel because ultimately there is something in your passion that we can all relate to in our own personal experience and way. Thanks for sharing.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you! Much appreciated

[@GuyChapman]

Yes, a moving and personal tribute.

[@michaelj3282]

Brilliant Iain, and also thanks for mentioning Leonard John Kensell Setright, a wonderful author. Made my day.

[@stevennazar2102]

Prolific contributor to CAR magazine.

[@ashokeb]

Ah, LJK Setright, my favourite "muttering rotter", as he used to say, when I was a youngster reading Car. I think Henry Catchpole may be the closest current equivalent.

[@creepingjesus5106]

Congratulations on getting into the Magnum successfully! Now try it again with a coffee, a sannie and a bunch of paperwork... A mate of mine swore he could spot Magnum drivers because their paperwork always had bite marks round the edge; having driven one, I can concur. It's one way to free up your hands for the ascent/descent. Funnily enough, a left hand drive version is easier for right handed folk to get into, but either way it's an acquired skill. Saying that, I instantly thought of coming back out to mine one night, having paid for the fuel I'd put in, and seeing it lurking in a dim, half lit corner of a truck stop, and just smiling. An utterly unique truck, and I'd forgive it its' idiosyncrasies every time, for the aura and feel of it.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks for that- very interesting!

[@pj9375]

I love the magnum. It’s definitely the best looking truck and one which Optimus Prime would be I reckon. Top trucking!

[@Matteo_Licata]

What a heartfelt tribute to the great Master. It really struck a chord with me because, when I was little, I, too, dreamed of being a car designer. In my case, that dream turned into a reality, even though working in car design in the modern era didn't quite live up to my childhood fantasies. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Gandini, but I'm glad I was there to listen to him deliver an inspiring speech before receiving an honorary degree in engineering from Turin's Polytechnic University in January. The phrase "gone, but not forgotten" is such a cliché, but in Gandini's case, that's the truth. He may be gone, but his legacy will endure long into the future. Thank you, Iain, for this wonderful video.

[@mikesage9544]

Too true Matteo. Bw Mike

[@rickb296]

That yellow Muira is 1 of 762. Marcello Gandini and Iain Tyrrell are each 1 of 1. What a special history lesson. This is a rare coffee table book in video format. Thank you! Incidentally, we are the exact same age. Growing up in Leeds, there was a doctor who had a bronze coloured Espada that heavily influenced my life too. He let us 3 young lads crawl all over it and take so many photos back in the mid 70's. Same goes for a racing driver called Chris Meek. He had a yellow Ferrari Boxer at his house in Roundhay Park and backed it out of his garage just so we could drool over it. Small gestures on their part but huge impact on ours.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Lovely. Thank you too!

[@bhumiriady]

I have to admit, that is one beautifully heartfelt tribute video to the great Marcello Gandini, sir. Also, rest in peace, Marcello Gandini. 🙏

[@richardgraf5853]

It is one of the best episodes on your cannel, Iain. Thank you to show and tell us about your Meeting with Marcello Gadini

[@abelcolmenares4579]

I'm from Venezuela...in 1992 I saw the Renault Magnum for the first time in a Spanish magazine...it seemed amazing to me...something from the future that made any truck of the moment look old. It was until recently that I found out that it was his design. He was my hero because of the Countach, amazing and impressive, but I think one of his most beautiful cars is the '94 Marserati Quattroporte.

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

I agree, the QP IV is a pretty underrated design, yet so clever: it’s basically a wedge packaged as a mid-size executive car

[@moonshine3333]

Just fabulous. My first spine-tingling car experience was an E-type. My father was co-Director of his company. I really can’t remember his car but his partner had the Jaguar. I didn’t know a bonnet could be so long😊. After their meeting he asked if I’d like to go for a drive. Um … yes. I can still remember the smell, the gauges, the steering wheel … and the sound. Mind blowing. He drove me about 5 miles at insane speed and when I got out I just flew home SO high! Still feel it all now writing this.

[@anthonyknox1493]

Like many others, seeing a Countach was a life-changing moment for me; I remember sitting in the back of my dads Cortina, when he said there was a Lambo behind us. I remember cranking my head around to see it out of the rear window, and I couldn't believe the width of it! It filled the screen and looked like a spaceship! I became a petrol head for life after that.

[@michaelsummerell8618]

I vividly remember my first experience of seeing a Countach actually "in the flesh" instead of the poster I had on my wall. It was at a petrol station not far from my home in Bristol, in the evening. It was very similar to Mr Metcalfe's example and my Dad asked the owner if I could look inside as I was only a young lad at the time. I remember clearly my Dad telling me to listen when it starts up, as I'd never really seen a car like this on the road before. The sound of that V12 rumbling into life made a young lad very happy. That was probably about 40 years ago now.

[@discovolante2585]

As an HGV driver(Scania of course here in Finland) and a Maserati Quattroporte IV owner(Gandini design) , this episode was most enjoyable!! Great cars as usual and a very presentable facelift Renault Magnum. They are getting rare.

[@kenmoore589]

The flat floor design was ground breaking at the time.

[@bensmiling]

This channel is pure gold. It lets us peak through the curtain on vehicles and experiences that are akin to unobtainium. It’s taken decades of combined experience/expertise to provide us with these insights. Worth every second. A fine foil to the glossy magazines and posters of my childhood. Here we get to see the recipe and the gizzards

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you for your appreciation 🙏

[@wouterleenders]

Gandini’s first spark of magic that hit me was seeing a Quattroporte IV when I was a 8 years old. The quirky rear wheel arch design made me sketch cars from then onwards. Truly a master of his trade. Thanks Iain for educating and sharing your tribute!

[@Nyx_88888]

finally a man who knows what he's talking about ... Iain

[@volkerkonig9376]

I am a german car guy my whole( long) life and owned some iconic cars. My first car was an original Mini 1000, than came a spitfire. a Giugaro designed Bertone, a Golf 1- GTI and some more. But until some years ago nobody knew anything about a designer Marcello Gandini here in Germany. We knew Pininfarina, Giugaro, Zagato and so on. But since then Marcello Gandini developed in our minds more and more to the most influential and innovative car- designer of alltime. And I am very sad that he isn't around anymore.

[@jordanabraham1290]

Thank you so much, Iain, for this wonderful tribute to Marcello Gandini! It seems to me that he, like Pablo Picasso or John Coltrane, proved at a very young age that he was perfectly capable of designing absolutely stunning objects of beauty... then, spent his life (like the aforementioned artists) arguing against the accepted idea of beauty and pushing the boundaries of his art form. Also, I am reminded of Jean Paul Sartre's concept of everything that is created ends up on its own journey and life. Gandini's designs are so well-known, documented, and coveted that we forget, behind them, there was a guy just trying to make a living and meet his deadlines! You have brought to us a human portrayal of a great artist and what he meant to you personally. I am grateful.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you! With my singing hat on, I had the pleasure of being invited to perform at the Savannah Jazz Festival some years ago. John Coltrane’s son Ravi was amongst the musicians accompanying me. He is a very humble and genuine man too- much like Mr Gandini

[@rayborg7378]

Another top drawer one from Tyrrells Classic workshop.The only Gandini designed car I ve had was an Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina and it was great too.For its day this car was quite advanced.

[@georgezahorcak7764]

I was a teenager in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. I did not yet have my license. My older licensed friend was driving us around the waterfront....as we always did....one night...we were driving passed "The Barge." It was, and still is, a restaurant on the river. This night, there was a red Espada parked at the front door under the portico. The image of it will forever be in my memory. Forever.

[@Rasscasse]

I like your comment 😄

[@vsevolodboos4961]

Thank you very much, mr Tyrrell for the job you are doing. For me your KZbin channel is a kind of a book. The history of automotive industry highlighted from several angles; there are different aspects. Design as an art; an engineering; a development. I’m not working in an automotive sphere of business; I’m a designer of commercial interiors: retail stores and offices… But the inspiration I get from car design since the first time I saw a picture of Jaguar XJ220 on front page of a magazine that my father brought into our home back in late 80s - still moves me forward… Hope to see more and more interesting, breathtaking, amazing videos on your channel. Thank you!!!

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you indeed!

[@abecks8093]

Wow! Thank you so much Iain for sharing your drawings and meeting with Gandini. You’re a musician, historian, mechanic, and now an artist. Is there anything you can’t do?

[@mikevanblommestein5726]

Your second pencil sketch one would look amazing in the flesh !

[@graham6229]

Very talented work Iain.

[@aserta]

Gandini had one out of this world hand. I've studied his work back in design school before i took an U bend and went into architecture. A lot of the stuff i think about today is still heavily indexed within his lines. The world's a lesser place for his passing. :(

[@paulreese1291]

The first time I saw a Countach and later drove it, well, it was a day I will always remember. However, my favorite is still the Stratos. What a genius designer, not a committee, and your list confirms it -well done, sir!

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Fantastic episode Ian , what a man mr gandini was The stories he would have much more than the snippet you were lucky enough to have with him 👍👍🇦🇺

[@kipsome45]

Much of this video resonated with me. I turned 60 at the end of last September, so I believe I’m a similar age to you. I instantly anticipated the book that you were to reveal, by Rob de La Rive Box and Richard Crump. I too purchased a copy which I still have. In 1987 I was a regular reader of CAR magazine, and in the June 1987 edition there was an article by Steve Cropley, entitled ‘Death In The Afternoon’, which featured a forgotten corner of the Sant’ Agata factory which was a dumping ground for myriad Lamborghini prototypes, all of them unique, in varying states of decay. The factory clearly had no intention of saving the rapidly deteriorating pieces of automotive history. It was a hard read. My slightly naive 24 year old self was sufficiently moved to write to Lamborghini, asking whether they would be prepared to liberate one of the more intact prototypes and allow me to return it to England, where I would embark upon a restoration project. (I had neither the money to fund such a venture, nor the wherewithal to complete it, but hey). I received a hand typed letter in reply, from none other than Ubaldo Sgarzi, stating that they had not yet decided what to do with the vehicles, but that none were for sale, ‘even for huge amounts of money’. He went on to say that perhaps the Chrysler Corporation would instruct them on how to proceed, having recently acquired the company. Needless to say, I still have the letter and envelope, postmarked 19.6.87. Loved your tribute to Marcello Gandini and his creations. Watching it bought all the above memories flooding back.

[@iain_tyrrell]

What a lovely story! I suspect some of those cars are still alive and well in the Tonino Lamborghini museum in Funo

[@Rasscasse]

That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing.

[@the5th2000]

Great video Ian. Really enjoyed your personal story and seeing your enthusiasm. And the footagew of Gandini is fantastic. Really beautiful testament to such an influential genius. Thank you

[@anthonytsi]

Wonderful tribute to Gandini. I am only lower middle class, however, a Countach owner back in October of last year was very nice in understanding that I have always been captivated by the Countach. He allowed me to drive it for two miles. It was arguably the best day of my life and I will always remember that time. Thank you Gandini!

[@iain_tyrrell]

Wonderful! I bet you will never forget that - full marks to the owner who gave you the reins.

[@simoncowley3392]

Great to hear someone so passionate about their subject. Most of us can only dream of turning our childhood dreams into a successful business driven by passion and skill.

Thank you,Marcello Gandini ❤Thank you Iain ❤I could feel your passion!

[@AlsETypeResto]

Wow. That was an amazing learning experience Thank you Ian and Mr Gandini!

[@martinkingphotography]

I'll bet that book is now a prized possession if it wasn't before. Loved that Mr. Gandini kept his large standing drafting tables and decorated the studio with drawings. Fantastic footage as usual Iain!

[@opuscat999]

The Countach will never be overshadowed.❤

[@johnnyboy1586]

For me it's the muira,closely followed by the Espada

[@donovanf1]

What an amazing video Iain. Gandini was certainly a design guru

[@dawoodparuk6944]

Finally somebody admires a person worth admiring

[@RobinCapper]

Thanks for an amazing tour and sharing your time with Marcello Gandini. It was lovely to view having just seen a casual tribute meetup, in New Zealand, where all the Gandini production cars you showed, and a few more, were present.

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Thank you for this fabulous overview of Mr. Gandini's life's work.

I think it’s safe to say Ian is at the top of the list when it comes to car channels on KZbin (and dare I say any channel on KZbin?) superb quality, information and passion.

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you Iain et al. The typical honesty and integrity of this channel truly shines through in this tribute to Mr Gandini. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.

Thank you!

[@thorneycroft1976]

Quite incredible Mr Tyrrell. What a fabulous video about a fabulous man. My hero too. Many thanks.

[@hctoronto1079]

What a great honour this video is for TWO great men - Marcello and Iain!!!!

[@FranklinDelanoRomanowski]

Thank you, Iain, for documenting things like this for the car community.

[@ned900]

I bought a steering wheel from A Renault 25 Bacarra, which is different from the wheel in a regulat 25. Becuse I thought it was beautiful, i fitted it to a 4x4 truck. Gandini was a damn genius. Loved this program, well done for making it.

[@johnnyboy1586]

The Espada in that dark blue in stunning !❤my two favorite lamborghini the Espada and the muira

[@gvxclassics]

Yes, I enjoyed that. Thank you and a hip hip hooray to Mr Gandini. He will be missed.

[@kittonsmitton]

Words escape me, thank you Iain for one of the best automotive tributes to an Icon and a Genius I have ever had the pleasure of. 'If I were a rich man...' 'La La La La La La Lamborghini'

[@Rasscasse]

Thank you Iain. Loved this episode. Your passion and respect for the man shines through brightly. It is a sad loss. This was very well put together with obviously a lot of hard work for your post production people. I used to spend a lot of time driving in italy, so I understand your allure to the place. if I had the chance just to drive through Maranello or Saint Agata, then I would take it. Interestingly, I used to regularly chat to the guys who road tested the Renault Magnum, from the factory in Bourg-en-Bresse, France. I had a watering hole I visited in the area near Montrevel and it happened to be where they stopped for lunch quite regularly., as one does in France. They told me about the early days of the Mack powered Magnum 500 BHP and how drivers were not used to the power nor used to how the cab moved. According to them there were quite a lot of accidents in the early days, because drivers were simply not used to the combination of the high air suspended cab and the big engine. Just a little bit of something I heard elsewhere, that originally this was a design for the French army and then adapted and sold for civilian use. Not sure how true it is though. Anyway thanks again for a fascinating riveting edition. Chris.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you Chris for that interesting insight!

[@PeterPangas]

Thank you for this tribute to a very special designer. I had a picture of a Countach on my wall, and a person owned a metallic gold Espada up the road from us. I loved those cars so much. I didn't know of Gandini till much later. The recording you have taken and now posted is, and will be, sought after to remember him by. So glad you were able to do so. PS: this is my first comment on any Utube video, and felt it important to put my comments forward. You have a very good site. Keep up the good work. Peter from Sydney Australia.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks Peter for your comments. Much appreciated

[@mikekennedy9383]

Lovely to see your sketches, Ian. There seems to be no end to your talents! How wonderful that they not only provided you with the opportunity to meet with your boyhood hero - one of the greatest car designers - but also to give him such pleasure with your company and knowledgeable interest in his work. Heart warming.

[@ruutbianchi4358]

Thank you Iain for this great "hommage" to Marcello Gandini! I expected you would come up with something, very nicely done! What a nice footage of Gandini's studio. A friend of me who drives Citroen BX's since 35 years now, blackened the double chevron om his BX when Marcello Gandini passed away! Thanks for sharing this brilliant video!😍👍

Nice and early again, excellent. Just as I finish watching Mr Metcalfe the smile on my face appears as I notice another upload from Mr Tyrrell. I do enjoy a Sunday when you two upload, I can only imagine what it must have been like meeting some of those designers and engineers who you obviously seem to have a huge respect for, I can see an interesting book sometime in the not too distant future. So a huge thanks again for yet another enjoyable upload.

What a lovely ode to a brilliant designer, thank you Iain.

[@graham6229]

Fascinating Video this week. I often thought the execution of the interior design features and detail was lacking on these cars. They seem to have "panels" of leather and so on simply screwed onto whatever they were meant to be covering. Always a supporter however Iain.

[@BradKnowsAll]

They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes. I’m glad you met yours!

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks- it could always go either way!

[@dalefriesen8676]

Mr. Tyrrell, thank you for sharing with us your heartfelt tribute to the life and work of modest genius Marcello Gandini. You have an extraordinary story to tell. I had the unforgettable experience of examining the exterior of a brand new Countach, on display, of all places, in a Dodge/Chrysler dealership, in Burnaby, British Columbia in the early seventies. It was the model with the rear, downward sloping wheel arches, sans fender flares. At the time this car was virtually unheard of in these parts and appeared not of this world.

[@MsAston007]

Seeing Gandini in his studio was a welcome treat. Bravo for another informative interview.

[@gijoemolinaro]

Thankyou for another beautifully presented historical roller coaster ride of automotive history Mr Tyrell ❤

It's always very sad when a Genius die. Thank you Ian for this great homage to one of the all time great designers.🙏

[@hartley383]

What an absolutely brilliant tribute to a legend. Your respect and admiration for Gandini is a joy to watch. This has to rank as one of my favourite videos. I’ve always been fascinated by car design. I knew the great man was responsible for the BX but never knew the Magnum truck ( which I always loved) was too. Wait til I tell my wife who designed her Renault 5 she was driving when we met. Wonderful film 👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely stunning video. You describe a wonderful journey and take us into your personal history, influences and share with us the joy of meeting your hero and his wonderful words inna fantastic interview. Truly a privilege. Thank you Iain.

[@reinmansmith]

I always remember as a young PC seeing a Countach being driven late at night. As it was a dream car of mine (like so many others) I stopped it basically to take a close up look! Chatting to the driver he was very happy to be stopped as his first Countach had been stolen so was quite happy that we were out and about checking. He said if this one gets stolen he’d have to give up on Countach ownership …. Not sure I’d have kept up with it if it had been stolen in my Austin Allegro Panda car!! lol 😆 Still the most headturning car ever designed 👍

[@sexynelson100]

You should've confiscated it for a week to make sure all the paperwork was in order.. lol

Thank you Iain once again. Rest in peace, Mr. Gandini. Legend. ❤

[@mosca3289]

Wonderful to hear Gandini’s stories.

[@markaldridge2531]

Iain, Thank you once again for delivering such an interesting dive into Gandini's lifetime of works. As a retired draughtsman I am envious of the drawing boards in his studio, but using the full width ones would involve a lot of walking to and fro! His designs were 'out there' but not carbon copies, which shows that today's cars with shared platforms and so many restrictions clearly limit what a designer can do. The three Lamborghini's in front of the lorry could come from three totally different designers, let alone companies.

[@chrispeters4405]

I used to sit in class and draw all those cars from road and track magazine. car and driver. spaceships indeed, nothing from those times comes close. the future positive attitude of the post war era ensconed into the designs of those kinetic objects, what a true master he was to maintain the low profile he did and let his work branch out organically.

[@eldorado767]

Sort of off topic- Liked Mr. Gandini's aside that CAD can mislead you. It reminded me of the Engineer/Architect Santiago Calatrava. As an engineer he makes sure his beautiful designs can be built and will perform as designed. Breathtaking work, like these autos. BTW, the drawing of the Carabo- the door opening is hexagonal. Maybe he just likes bees.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Oh man that Espada... I think, of all the Lamborghinis, that's the "most pure" expression of what Mr. Lamborghini had in mind when he formed the company. If I were choosing a classic Lamborghini to own, that I'd actually want to use, it would have to be a black Espada. I think I'd wanna go for that panoramic roof treatment Harry's has too. Man I love them, I could actually see myself getting my hands on one.

[@davidmccausland9063]

What a story..... excellent once again.... many thanks 😊

[@AndreasMartinLaute]

You’re a wonderful storyteller, Sir! Thanks for another of your priceless videos!

[@michaelgibson4705]

Lovely to see Mr Gandini’s work on the Italian exotica,But his ability to design the more mundane,trucks,high volume saloon cars is impressive , be able to accept those commissions the mark of a great designer.The icing on the cake for me is,he designed the Lancia Stratos

[@JacobTab_S7_Plus-sg4ju]

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

Yes sir no doubt, only those two channels are at the top echelon of car content here on YT

[@lindaoffenbach]

Thank you for this outstanding commemoration, taking the time required for an exquisite man and designer. Especially the Marzal has always had such an impact, so much so that we always wished it had actually entered production. However, you've articulated quite clear that it wasn't viable at the time, nor even possible. Still, it's derivative, or rather successor, as the Espada very much speaks to the imagination, remaining my all-time favourite Lamborghini, despite the Countach actually. And with trucks I have nothing, however the Magnum still is of course a recognisable pleasing looking icon. Thank you so much for taking your time for a magnificent man and designer 💓

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you for your very appreciated comments

[@markpeters3472]

Such a lovely celebration of the man and his additions to the pantheon of great design. I'll always vividly remember the exact time and spot on seeing the Countach, Muira, Stratos, 308 GT4, 5 Turbo Alpine for the first. Each connects with its pilot in such deep emotional and visceral ways. I think of these towering design achievements like I suspect RAF lads view the Spitfire, that of pure genius.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Well said!

[@711-j5j]

Amazing, look at Gandini's signature how it flows like the Miura and Dallara's looks like an engine with pistons pumping up and down. I like this video Iain and I especially enjoyed when you visited them and we could hear them speak and tell us how it really was back in those heady days. Cool.
