Ferrari 412: The Legacy of a Classic | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

[@DPCTechnology]

The casual Mura driveby at 18:23.. Like it was 1975.. LOL

[@ezragonzalez8936]

the one in his workshop

[@stevehislop]

I was thinking the same:) Bonkers!!!

[@bryanmurphy4516]

Thought my eyes had deceived me, had to rewind!

[@iainmcglynn833]

Always so engaging IT and HM , two national treasures

[@Nick_Barre]

Thanks for mentioning this-a very good spot. I think I noticed it in the workshop earlier-maybe it was out on its own road test.

[@markaldridge2531]

Iain, I love the fact you called the FIAT 130 Coupe a "beautifully rounded car" when it was very clearly designed with only rulers, no French curves! It is still pretty, elegant and sophisticated. I was offered one years back, my wife's uncle was a very successful film editor and had a 130 Coupe in his back garden rotting away. We couldn't work out a deal sadly. But it would have ruinous to get it going and running it. The 400 series Ferrari's were always understated, which is a tough sell in that market. Probably a lot better to own than many would make out, still basically 365 running gear, what is not to like.

[@gordonsimpson565]

The 400i was a favourite of mine. Still love the shape today, and have always seen the similarity of the 130 coupe (particularly the rear 3/4 view. I don't like the 412 .....it's the ugly inset wheel pattern which is (I am told) a consequence of ABS fitment. 400i wheels look far better imo.

[@robertsedgwick1629]

it's one i've always liked

[@deltajohnny]

Iain is a walking car and everything encyclopedia! 😍😍😍👏👏👏

[@JamesSmith-iz3pl]

Looking forward to part 2

[@rickpetersen5728]

When you’re out for a test drive and a yellow Muira approaches.

[@r.hagenau3541]

Very elegant car.

[@damienBeelzebub]

??? Who is out HOONING in the Muira?

[@anth5122]

This guy knows his onions 😂

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

The supplier of the boot locks must have doubled its sales figures selling them for both the Ferrari and the Cadillac...

[@AaaAaa-ly3on]

Yeah - "humble little FIAT" priced twice of Range Rover... 🤪

[@terrydonegan1622]

The greatest voice ever. ❤

[@michaeljohnston6527]

that 130 is a stunning looking car

[@enzobuje2249]

View Rain Man, and interesting this model Ferrari, but KZbin very small information for this model

[@cav4290]

Please follow up on this beauty!

[@deweybrightside2276]

Looking forward to seeing that beauty getting sorted out.

[@charlescoulson]

I look forward to the second episode..

[@Fred-wu9oy]

une féfé avec une jolie ligne indémodable

[@jonnybigpotato4263]

I always liked these cars. I remember someone my Dad worked with sat on the engine trying to fix one around the late 80s/early 90s when they were worth next to nothing as I recall. Seem to remember them saying that the engine has to come out to get to the distributor? Should have brought one then I guess

[@User-wollswoycegawage]

I had a 130 saloon 3.2

[@j_w_t8367]

Oh wow, BMW’s e28 stole the taillights from this FIAT, or vice versa…

[@jimosullivan1389]

The Italians have always been gifted in designing very expensive unreliable junk.

[@normandalgarno3242]

Dad had an Alfa Romeo 2000GTV back on the late sixties early seventies which I was privileged to drive on occasion. As the late Colin Chapman said "add lightness". What a wonderful car to drive. Then later, I owned one of the early Alfasud sedans. Left Scotland in '74 and now in Canada. Those cars are legends now, sadly the Alfasud rusted away. The Alfa 2000 GTV was a beast in the day. The Alfasud handled like nothing I had encountered.. still in my mind today at 75. Love your videos!

[@bentaxelrod]

Passes the yellow Miura from the shop, nothing said. I’m going to travel from Australia and pitch a rent on that roundabout.

[@grahamparker9470]

E10 fuel...i only use v power more mpg..engine runs much sweeter

[@ralphpanhuyzen7861]

The aural magic of exhaust notes... Love the review!

[@homeopathical]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Lancia Gamma Coupé that looks like the lovechild of the Fiat 130 and the Ferrari 412, albeit with a dinky engine by comparison.

[@GordonWishart]

The 400 series was my favourite series as a younger man.

[@yaroslavbozhdynsky]

412 had a different, raised rear trunk portion.

[@starspaniard7556]

Oh really? Except Rolls Royce, Mercedes, also Ferrari uses Citroen Suspension? Lets see in time how many more manyfacturers will come out. Very interesting

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Now that there, is a gorgeous color for a Ferrari 👌 Kinda reminds me of Porsche's Yachting Blue Metallic, just a tad more "blue" compared to Yachting....if it was more subdued towards a slate-ish blue, it would be very very close. Regardless, killer color

[@paulelverstone8677]

I've said it before and I'll probably say it until the day I die: BL has an awful lot to answer for. As for the 412; always thought it a lovely, clean, crisp design. Looking forward to the second part....

[@lewis72]

Range Rover back then was just a comfier Landy with a thirsty engine. DIdn't even have eleccy windows, unlike the Stage of the same era.

[@tommasosantojanni]

How can I boost views about my Fiat 130 video? Let me title it _“Ferrari 412“_ 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@fuller9x]

For Steve Austin, special price my friend, £5 995 000 vat in.

[@User-wollswoycegawage]

A Monteverdi 375/4 Now that's a car I'd like you to review

[@gaetanperrier74]

Love this style of design. Lancia Gamma coupe and De Tomaso Longchamp are also very nice. Car with large windows and a lot of light.RangeRover Classic is the best in class for this ! Nothing to compare with nowadays cars and their short windows ! Modern Chevy Camaro are the worst then!

[@93455Driver]

I look at the front of the 412 and I keep seeing Rover SD2 :/, I think I need a vacation.

[@GForceVRX]

Fantastic comparison between these two fine machines! I’ve always loved both cars equally, although these days the Fiat just pips the Ferrari in terms of looks, and interest for me.

[@hotrodandrube9119]

They used a black one in the daft punk "Doing It Right" video and then sold it on eBay. I think i watched the auction, it ended up going for under 25 grand.

[@dad_jokes_4ever226]

Quite an elegant design , as is the Fiat 130 . Both beautiful cars

[@vincentwitjes5106]

well mr tyrell is still in to music as most classic cars sing to us sometimes mr tyrell needs to help them a little to sing

[@sohrabrustum8582]

My boss at the time always had Ferraris, and he bought one of these so he could get his golf clubs in.

[@Tonewheeldude]

I sold a manual Ferrari 400i a while back

[@212MPH]

I loved the 400 412s when they came out. I still do. A beautiful looking car especially the rear end the 4 exhaustpipes under tge 4 round lights. With that v12. Still quite cheap.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Yes, they are quite cheap for the moment! You couldn’t give them away years ago but things are changing

[@MindofMatter]

Can't wait to see more on this one

[@markyamaguchi9571]

Ferrari please bring back pininfarina and make Ferrari beautiful again

[@paulog8813]

I love the Fiat 130. This one you showed need a rechroming on the headlamps. It will look a lot better.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Yes, a lot of them do

[@paulog8813]

@@iain_tyrrell I have an old 1993 Escort XR3 Mk5 here in Brazil and I just rechromed its headlight. Night and day difference both in illumination and visually.

[@corradoferrari6191]

The 130 is beautiful, ferrari has the passion , i envy you in a good way i should say i miss those cars, i work on the new ones now but i remember gracefully those.

[@kevinellsworth6335]

little less Fiat talk please

[@Haffschlappe]

Fiat planned a V8 powered 140 due to fuel crisis and Agnellis Veto against Dante Giacosas OHV all Alloy 4.5 V8 they asked Lamperdi to make a smaller but more modern V6 OHC

[@iain_tyrrell]

Very interesting- thanks

this road seems to be the company test track !

[@iain_tyrrell]

Indeed it is!

[@User-wollswoycegawage]

[@JacSchroder]

I just watched your Fiat 130 coupé video. This must be part 2 ;-). I totaly agree: I love that car.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks!

[@Supercruze]

Fascinating history lesson and perspective as always. Thank you for the video.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

The least sought after Ferrari ever.

[@sullacicero2610]

Ferrari stealing the Rover design😂

[@iain_tyrrell]

Other way round!

[@meeshker]

I prefer the Fiat too

[@tomfurie2996]

Bionic Ferrari?

[@parttime5401]

I currently own a White/Blanco 1985 Ferrari 400i, with auto trans. Rumor has it that Enzo was getting letters from his "senior aged" customers about having trouble driving & holding their glass of vino, as there are NO cup-holders in the car, (it does have 2 ashtrays & 2 lighters)! Enzo decided an auto trans would be tested, first was a German box, I believe, but they exploded often, the GM TH400 was already being used by other manufactures and a proven heavy-duty unit in trucks and Corvettes...it handled the torque of the V-12 without a problem. The car is very nice to drive and ride, solid and powerful, quiet and luxurious, power brakes, power steering, power windows, a double unit A/C system was available, complete leather interior and it does have an automatic hydraulic independent rear suspension. The Bosch Fuel Injection system is "two" of everything, as Bosch only made 4 cyl, 6 cyl and 8 cyl units with the V-12 requiring 2 of the 6 cyl fuel distributors, 2 warm up units, 2 electric fuel pumps, so the car has a 6 cyl system on each side, the engine will actually run on only one bank! Yes, the main body design lasted 17 years, the longest of any Ferrari design, with changes as stated, taillamps changed from 6 to 4, the hot air vent in the hood went from silver to body color, interior and dash changed, instrument lamps changed from pale blue in 1985 400i to soft red in 1986 412, the wheels also changed in 1986 to a flatter face to accommodate the ABS system added. It has a complete metal tube chassis; the body will lift off in one piece, the hood, doors and rear trunk lid are removeable, but the front fenders and front body bumper are all welded together to the body, there is no way to simply remove a front fender or wing and replace it, all damage to the body is a major job. The power train uses a "torque tube", a hollow tube bolted to the rear of the trans and to the front of the rear diff, which is mounted solid to the frame, no "twisting of the engine or lifting of the front end, all of the power goes to the rear wheels. I bought mine 8 years ago for a very reasonable price as it was a "non-runner" at the time, teaching myself how to work on the car, finding parts, and learning the Bosch FI had it running in 8 months and my investment had doubled in value !

[@DDd-hr6mz]

The other thing is Ferrari clutches were so stiff, you would need a hip replacement if you were over 50 years of age to keep driving it.

[@adrianbennett3761]

Good job you can do all the work yourself, otherwise instead of doubling your investment you might have halved it. Anyway, well done. Fab car.

[@influentialgurning]

Like many cars spoiled by clearing the glass, it needs orange indicator lenses.

I’ve always liked the looks of Ferrari’s 400 series. It was my favorite looking Ferrari 2+2 of all time, until the 456 arrived in the 90s.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

I was going to say the same thing - you beat me to it!

[@gsmith207]

we are probably all GEN Xers that’s why lol! Close in age anyway. Love these

[@hc2774]

I agree

[@cbotten106]

It's styling has held up quite well over the years. That GM slushbox started the slippery slope toward the all automatics offerings of today though.

[@deadprivacy]

Have you been hit on the head?

9:08 "not unpleasant", unless you live next to a main road. 🤔

[@jamesanonymous2343]

IN MY OPINION,,,THEY SHOULD ALL BE KEPT IN ITALY, WHERE ""THEY BELONG""

[@brettrogers8482]

Dear Iain, Thanks for this-really interesting stuff, as always. Fiat 130s are a bit thin on the ground here in Australia but I've long admired them. I see a touch of Peugeot 604 DNA in their front treatment actually. Of the various 2+2 365/400 series, I am inclined to think that the original 365 GT4 2+2 remains definitely the one to pick: It still has the cleanest lines, in my view; I would always accept the task of tuning carburettors, occasionally, over the complications inherent in aging fuel injection systems; the 365 takes sensibly-sized tyres (on beautiful centre lock wheels) instead of megabuck metric items; and, if one is going to own an Italian V12, the 6500rpm redline of the larger engines just doesn't seem as appealing as the revvier 4.4. But what do you think? Are there compelling reliability, or longevity reasons to seek out one particular specification over others? Or should I remain focused on that Bizzarini 12 in an Espada? I'm sorry I've been AWOL for a couple of months, but catching anything you broadcast is always a highlight of my weekends. The channel goes from strength to strength. Keep up the good work, Iain, and many thanks. Best, Brett

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks Brett for your kind comments and support. And welcome back! You post some interesting questions there. The 400 was also very popular as an auto. As a driver’s car the 365 is the most raw. But there are so many ways of cutting this!

[@miguelangelsimonfernandez5498]

You mean raspy like the Fiat 124 sporty versions?

[@iain_tyrrell]

Yes- those too!

[@Tophet1]

Please hurry up with Part 2.

[@iain_tyrrell]

We have to fix it first, but we’ll be as quick as we can!

I'd love it if you could do a video of Biden and Trump being as descriptive as you do so well in car videos, a comparative analysis. The facilitator would be HM King Charles. No talking Mr Trump

Nothing too specific then!:-) but thanks for you appreciation

[@lhm4772]

What a wonderful channel. Thank you, Iain.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you too

[@hrcvf7505]

Completely disagree on the styling comparison between the Fiat and the 412. I wouldn't give the Fiat a glance if I walked by it on the street, whereas, I would immediately stop and admire the 412.

[@NigelTufnel612]

I would take the Fiat 130 with the engine from the 412 - that would be an outstanding modification!

[@RichardAube-f7w]

What about the FIAT Dino Coupé?

[@iain_tyrrell]

Another lovely car

[@tayne5009]

Is that a Noble M600 in the background? Will we get a video on that?

[@iain_tyrrell]

Sorry no, not a Noble

[@pekoro70]

The Fiat 130 had the looks of a deer, the performance of a walrus and the appetite of a rhino

[@TheShootingBrake]

As far as company politics, I think of the Corvette and Buick grand national. The GN was faster with it's turbocharged V6 than the choked V8 under the hood of the Corvette, but the Buick got the axe because you were not allowed to be faster, more comfortable and practical than the Vette within the GM family.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks for that

[@tobymenstroni8765]

Passion and unsurpassed knowledge in every minute of every video. And I concur, I'd prefer the Fiat. It is such a great design. Sadly, still haven't quite managed to get the hang of those Euromillions yet.

LJKS also raved about every Bristol ever made and his VW Sirocco I seem to recall when he wasn’t baffling me (and possibly every other non-engineer who read his pieces in CAR and other journals) with Slip Angles and Suspension Caster.

So true. He was also very fond of Hondas, including the rear wheel steering!

[@VincentBurrows-ks6ke]

[@arieltrajano1864]

Hello Tyrrell, I'm from the US. I want to own a classic Ferrari. I owned 2 alfa Romeo when I was a teenager and love it. Unfortunately my experience with both was they unreliable but always brought a smile while driving. Which classic would you recommend that a DYI can properly maintain and be reliable as daily driver during ownership. Thank you for sharing.

[@iain_tyrrell]

The 308/328 series is a reliable and easy to maintain model.

[@frankb5603]

BMW automatics also used a GM gearbox. I know because I have one.
