Always a pleasure to see one of Tyrrel’s videos on a Sunday afternoon. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all the team on the garage. Greetings from Brazil.

[@len333p]

Is it possible that we could see a little more fault finding Iain? It’s so great to see those skills being used by you and your team. Electrical and mechanical faults were always a challenge for me in my youth (70’s). I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@samwalton4598]

As a kid growing up in the 70’s in Florida I had a neighbor that owned two Citroen’s and I was amazed. They were an oddity compared to the American muscle cars I found Interesting at the time, 11 year old, 1971. Today I think it is one of the coolest cars ever. Just a beautiful car. I love the channel. Well done man!!!

[@MB-uw6eh]

The Ferrari restoration genius! Brilliant work Tyrell! Videos are amazing.

[@gori277]

One has to admire and love how deep the connection to the machines can be even with a professional. Love the stories about those special relationships with some cars that Iain has. Good stuff always!

[@simonelliott5956]

I think that's the essence the Iain has managed to distil for us to enjoy, its a pleasure to see that passion and refreshing to see it being passed on to a young apprentice like Leon.

[@andrewmorton8609]

As one of Tyrell Engineering’s early customers I would like to wish Iain and the channel the best for Xmas and a successful 2022. Still love that Dino !

Thanks Andrew, Much appreciated. The very same to you too. :-)

[@andyelliott8027]

@@iain_tyrrell Nice to see the clock working in Harry's car Iain, it seems like a small detail but there are so many classic cars with the clock stoppped. I always think it looks like a job that's not finished when owners get the car up together nicely but don't bother with the clock. There are companies which specialise in that as I'm sure you know, they'll even fit quartz innards for real accuracy.

[@bigdaddygreg1973]

Never had a clock not work in a 911. Just saying, even apart from my 964 collection, even my 73' 911t coupe still says the right time. Clock never been restored. Germans....haha

[@mjblauw]

About the Citroën SM. Four years ago I visited Bill Richardson Museum of Transport in Invercargill, about 14000 miles from my home, I admired the Citroën SM in a far corner of the museum. An older man was standing next to it, I told him that Johan Cruyff owned such a car in the 70ties. and that he was a very fameus Dutch footballplayer. I know the man sad, I played with him!!!!! The older man was a former Dutch proffesional football player witch immigrated to New Zealand in the 80ties! It’s a small word!!!

[@stephenlayland2889]

During the Espada drive, look down to the clock on the center console. Note the constant sweep of the second hand. Contrast this with the rush of the road in the windshield. Art in motion, and I thank you, Ing. Tyrrell. I love the British usage of "fitted". It resonates of raw material draped, formed, trimmed and secured into place. This is so even with the replacement of a rotor on the distributor shaft. Pop the old one off, pop the new one on, fitted. And onward!

[@mattcook1745]

Look at that 308 paint job !!! Beautiful work

[@nickstallard8828]

Excellent as always, thank you. Happy Christmas to you and all at Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

Love these videos. Always click straight away as soon as I see a new one.

[@lindaoffenbach]

Fabulous update. Thank you. The SM with the Espada (and the NSU Ro 80 plus M B R107 ) are within my top 10 favourite cars. We certainly can be quite thankful the SM returning unscathed since one might never know from those three petrol heads, lol. Specially Hammond seems to have made quite the name. Seeing this SM being featured later would be a delight. A wonderful but intricate piece of engineering and rolling art.

[@MarcosGazza]

A Merry Christmas to all at Tyrell's Classic Workshop. Your Updates are excellent and I'm sure have given everyone great viewing in very difficult times. Thank you.

Would make a great story with the bertone/lamborghini connection, dino badged, first v8 Road car, the overshadowed, unloved, unknown ferrari of the 70's!

Agreed. Full on. One of a kind, and an engineering masterpiece. I wish us well on our mutual dream. At 36 I sat in one but ownership of a fine example would set us back well north of 30k.

Didn't look too much wrong with it on the surface! - Absolutely gleaming.

Wow, those Tyrell teasers are addictive: SM, '73 Dino Coupe, the Miura SV on a rotisserie, and finishing touches on the magnificent 350GT. When current I dd and club show car an idential XJ12C Regency red with the black top, as seen lurking in the SM background. That is truly worthy too. Harry Metcalf agrees!

Hello Mister Tyrell, Another great video, and I am still hoping to see a V8 Vantage in your shop or in one of Harry's reviews. In my opinion they are the "better Espadas". I want to hear that Aston V8 at full power and admire its looks, preferably an early pre 1980 car. Thanks again. Georges

[@davidsantos5516]

Very cool cars....nostalgic....

[@malfunction8165]

I imagine these cars were not built with the thought they would become future classics. A friend of mine is working on an MG and E Type and seeing them in bits makes me think they were made and sold as quickly as possible to get them out the door and the money in, a classic example in my opinion being the Jaguar XJS, a fine looking car with it's heart in the right place but let down by corner cutting, e.g. the bother the rear oil seal leak on a brand new V12 causes. May I wish you and all on this channel all the best for Christmas and New Year.

As always a total delight to watch Iain and his talented team work through some amazing restorations on equally amazing cars. The Ferrari Dino 246 Gt is one of those dream cars I always have loved, and luckily some years ago managed to have a ride in one. Just stunning. If i lived in the UK i would be honoured to have Iain and his team look after my minor Italian classics as i know they would be in the very best hands but alas I live in Tassie and hence have to make do with a local mechanic. Trying to find someone to do excellent restoration work here is extremely difficult as most bodywork shops are only interested in modern cars and insurance work.. Happy Christmas to you Iain and your team.
