Unveiling Lamborghini Legends: A Danish Special with Iain Tyrrell | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

[@steveforde7475]

I'm old enough to know what a carburettor is and how they work, but I didn't know the origin of the word. Everyday is a school day! Thanks Iain.

[@grietga]

Not from "burette" ! See my comment above. It comes from "carbure", or carbide in English.

[@swordmonkey6635]

Very educational, easy to understand, humble and entertaining. Great job Ian. If you weren't a mechanic, you'd make a great lecturer.

[@paulelverstone8677]

Superb - I find myself saying that a lot on this channel. The tuning with the hose pipe is like borderline alchemy. When you think about how much metal is being thrown around in that engine, the coin on the rocker cover is just as impressive. Man! I love old engines...

[@KenFriisHansen]

Being Danish myself, and having lived 6 years in the UK, I enjoyed this video ... but also recognized that the special Danish brand of humor doesn't always "translate" that well

[@jonm2884]

You got that right, like trying to raise a laugh in a morgue. Lol.

[@NLBassist]

Being Dutch I understood all the humour.

[@pj9375]

I didn’t think the humour was so bad. Maybe the delivery but it’s tough and I’m certain he did a much better job than me in Danish!

[@seantaylor5660]

He definitely tried very hard though. 😂

[@DocGliss]

Brilliant. Bravo, Iain. I actually sat here behind the screen and applauded when you placed the coin on the engine. Thank you for this.

[@williamkaiser8067]

That really is impressive. If I tried that on my Triumph, it would be covered in oil on the floor in 6/10ths of a second.

[@LandYacht]

Iain reminds us of a time when automobiles were musical instruments, not appliances.

[@Jimmy-hd7vu]

Well said 👌

[@loaded2820]

He is a musician. I'm lucky enough to be gifted with the same talent, though I can't tune cars, I can hear music and immediately reproduce it on the piano. He combines that ear with his knowledge of motors. it is a remarkable skill.

[@glennmcqueen9475]

well said

[@keithskelton5596]

Harry M Referred to the new £100k Lotus SUV as an appliance I can relate to that Sole less The Muira S is anything but sole less

[@eldorado767]

I seem to recall a TV ad in the 50's for Buick, I think, that referred to the 'throaty obbligato' of the car's V8.

[@merstrand1]

I was Proud to be there in person - was lucky To speak to Lain afterwards, what humble likable person 👌

[@jamesallison4875]

I’m proud to be a fan. Those Danes look like a tough audience! You were brilliant as usual. Thank you, Iain.

[@CR-di1lg]

Just how we are in Denmark

[@ericsbuell]

Perhaps the "tough audience" was spellbound and realized they would never witness this again, while crafting tales to share with their children that they had seen Merlin and he was real! 😉🎄🎅

[@fthyme87]

I would guess most of these people are wealthy clients to the company - not necessarily fans. But what do I know :D

We were all in awe of the dispaly in front of us, live and with no safety net!

[@martinfisker7438]

It's also very difficult to get a crowd reaction when there's to few people

[@smal1393]

If I were younger, I would ask Iain to work in his shop as an apprentice at zero pay, just for the experience and education. Thank you for the ongoing videos you provide. Watching the coin balance and dance brought tears to my eyes.

[@Boyzee355]

My goodness when you get so excited to see these videos of our Sir Tyrrell pop up on the screen already knowing we’ll be happy for the next half an hour or so…. In a troubling time for many these being pure joy. Thank you Sir as always

[@stevennazar2102]

Wow,could listen to Iain all day,his knowledge is incredible. Someone needs to have him on TV.😊

[@MrFlyingguy]

Just came from Harrys to this, what a combo.... do you release at the same time for the impact? works for me anyway.

[@danapeck5382]

Totally agree

[@Al-of3zp]

Same

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

TOTALLY AGREE! BUT SHIT... LAIN IS KILLING THE GAME BRO!!!😂😂❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@superchickensoup]

It's all about penetration

[@nomdeplume798]

I'm just about to go the other way. If you see what I mean.

[@trainmanbob]

For the first time Iain I have no idea what to say. The video sort of says it all. You captivated your audience with incredible knowledge and expertise. As you are an accomplished musician and car tuner by ear, I will leave it to you as I am tone deaf!!. Super video as always. In case this is the last of this year Iain, a very happy festive period to you, your family and all the wonderful workers at the garage. Cheers, Bob

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you Bob. The very same to you

[@caeserromerosorangewedges]

Iain makes it look so simple but you can't see the thousands of hours spent to gain such expertise. Wonderfully engaging, as always.

[@mitchellsteele3878]

Ian it’s always a privilege to watch you tune the carbs on the Miura, great video, thank you and merry Christmas to yourself and all your team 🎅👍

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you too. Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

[@rogerpritchard]

Long ago I had a simple 1966 triumph spitfire with two carburettors. My mechanic used to tune it with a hosepipe. I remember being so impressed at the time.

[@williambarry70]

Ian Your the man you really are there’s nobody out there with your wonderful stimulating manner of simply explaining the complex !

[@rotatoryrotisserie3619]

What an absolute joy! Thank you Iain. Excellent work.

[@HereIsMyOffer]

13:33 Dead silence! A comedians worst nightmare! Rest assured, we laughed at home Iain 🤣

[@knoxyish]

love watching ian tuning carbs !! reminds me of tuning webers on alfas ! back in the day ! get the pipe out screwdriver adjust then adjust again !!! on full throttle they sound amazing !

[@lindaoffenbach]

Deary me, very unexpected this one. How fantastic for making the event accessible here on YT for everyone to enjoy and experience. And I can only imagine tuning an engine like this just by human senses requiring years and years of experience. Of course sounds can be explained but, as with music, they do require years of undergoing them to be able to actually sense and distinguish all balances and delicacies. Thank you so much Iian for open publishing this happening.

[@jeppenordfosskristensen7319]

Top job - Once Again 👌🏻 Greetings From Danmark 🇩🇰🇬🇧🏁

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

It’s so important to pass down this knowledge.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Blimey 😳 Welcome to Denmark Sir 🇩🇰 I hope that you enjoyed your stay 🤗

[@iain_tyrrell]

I was very well looked after thanks!

[@runechristiansen7372]

I hope the crowd is more impressed than their faces show 🤣 Good job Iain 👏👌

[@seantaylor5660]

Truly amazing. Have you done a video on the rebuild of engine no 6? Must have been quite the undertaking from what you said. Thank you, a very enjoyable video.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks. We didn’t do a vid on that unfortunately. Try harder next time!

[@moviebod]

Respect Iain. You have shown that you are surely the maestro of car tuning that we have always thought you were. Thank you so much for sharing (some of) your secrets.

[@dean58635]

Tyrrell is a master. Made that engine sing. That was beautiful.

[@MutieThePig]

What an absolute master of his craft. I love Iain's videos and his work. A true gentleman...

[@kristianfjeldgaard1]

I’m so honored to see that you have visited my home country and spread your knowlegde😊

[@MrNikodemus5]

Thanks a lot for that simple and accurate introduction on how a carburetor functions !!!

[@IcelanderUSer]

Brilliant. At first I was thinking what’s this, a zoom type video, but know, it turned out to be one of the best Ian videos yet.

[@dlicen]

Well, I'm pretty sure the word "carburettor" somehow derives from "carbon", as it has to do with mixing fuel with air before taking it in the combustion chamber. Otherwise great episode, as usual.

[@NLBassist]

Such a great vid again, tuning these carbs, keeping your jacket clean. I'm so happy fuel injection excists, but this makes me want to tune carburetors.

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

The No6 engine is a work of art, the way the intake and exhaust are angle to give the straightest run in and out of the combustion chamber. If you ever need an old school machinist Ian, give me a shout.

[@NickAsh-jl5nq]

Thanks Iain,that’s great to see you in action with those carbs.Having lived in France for the last 38 years,I have worked in garages,my collègue Joel,took his mechanics apprenticeship in an Alfa Romeo Dealership in Caen France,where I live.He started at the age of 14,tuned those carbs just like you, with ear ,rubber hose and screwdriver. I had a Peugeot 205 Rallye at the time,he tuned my Webber’s with much,finesse when we put k&N competition air filters on too.noisy but great fun to drive,my son loved the sound. His biggest task was tuning the Alfetta 6 engines,that had 6 carbs too,nearly a couple of hours to do sometimes for all servicing. Thanks Iain,looking forward to more next year🙏

[@jacobjensen408]

GREAT! to see you in my home country Iain, you a legend, As a young mecanic I used to see my dad and his brother do this on old Alfas like 33 1,7 QV and Alfetta 2,0 It is a art form to master, and when a Webber car is propper dial in, it goes like nothing else, and the music it makes is out of this world. But the way nice watch.😉

[@barryphillips7327]

Ian Tyrrell has extraordinary talents apart from his mechanical skills, he has demonstrated his singing ability and is a True English Gentleman!!!! Nowadays 'EFI' does ALL this for you by itself while you are driving!! 33m.14s turn up your volume for V12 Heaven!!

[@JanArnskjold]

How amazing to see you in DK at Selected - as a Dane - really great Thanks Iain - and hope you enjoyed your stay here - I am quite sure that you did - and great to see that some of you projects ended up here in our small corner og the world ! My Best also for the holidays - look forward to see more from you in the future 😊

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you. I was very well looked after. The very best to you and yours for Christmas too

[@smudger6461]

Educational master, thank you, sir. I'm so glad I stumbled across your work some time ago. It's great to see some classy work on those carburettors.. just brilliant ❤

[@NigeUK007]

Iain, you’re material is just outstanding. I am so glad to have came across your channel and content. Infectious, mesmerising, fascinating and thought provoking. Adore how you keep your trained secrets! Giampaolo Dallara has got to be proud of this one! Such a lovely engine.

[@TheJustaviewman]

Iain, your knowledge of Italian marques is incredible. A great teacher's lesson on the Miura. You are Sig Lamborghini.

[@jorgeleiton7517]

Amazing performance I live in Denmark And I was not invited to this presentation unfortunately I'm a fun of you and your expertise. Jorge Copenhagen

Absolute LEGEND thank you 👏🏾👏🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✌🏼

[@bernardmartinez1275]

Amazing knowledge like an orchestra conductor to optimize the power of this piece of art. 🎶 nice demonstration

[@wimschermerhorn7773]

Very impressive! Was/is the Muira running on an ethanol blended fuel. If so how was the carburetion modified to accommodate for the slower burning at lower inlet track speeds and for the lesser caloric value at higher inlet track speeds. Have you noticed a difference in the music between an ethanol fuel and an old type of five star fuel. Thanks.

[@GordonWishart]

Iain. Professor of Lamborghini engines. A magnificent presentation to the Danish student body. I for one had a bare understanding of what a carburetor was. Now I could pass an exam on it. Excuse American spelling! A brilliant video. Thank you.

[@TBiker000]

Classic Ian. Loving your co presenter on this one, very funny.

[@drdesmo8489]

Iain’s artisan craftsmanship is brilliant. That V-12 on the stand, seriously ! What a fantastic video in Denmark 🇩🇰 in a truly unique setting with some of the best automobiles ever produced. Iain thank you so much for this dedicated hard work and passion ❤

[@meta-baron]

Greetings from Germany. Again a very entertaining "edutainment" video with a little spark of british humor. Ian & his team always do a great job elevating "vintage car service" to the upper level. I keep my fingers crossed that Ian might work on a magnificent Facel Vega HK500 II in the future. Would be the last car of my dream garage (Lamborghini Miura, Iso Grifo & Facel Vega). I only own a peasant 1964 Buick Riviera :-/.

[@iain_tyrrell]

The Riviera is a great car. Fantastic styling!

[@Bikeaddict4235]

Well , that’s definitely answered my question about the carburettor Snail 😂 Another great video. Thanks iian

[@darijomar2153]

One of a kind Iain is, imagine doing your apprenticeship with him , what a privilege that would be. A master of the motor industry that hopefully in time he will go down as pioneering icon. #knighthoodforiain

[@dancarter482]

_The illustrious Mr T. ~ notorious for lowering the tone!_

[@avmelidor]

Outstanding

[@davidgrover2665]

They say every day is a School Day but this was better than any School Day I remember! Great video Iain Thanks for sharing! 🙌👏👏👏👏

[@danapeck5382]

Best Christmas present ppdcast ever!! Thanks yet again and all the best

[@samcurrie3367]

Holy moly. I am a chemistry teacher and a car nut, but never in my life had I realised the link between the carburettor snd the burette. Iain, you've blown my mind.

[@stuartsmith5308]

Merry Christmas to everybody in Denmark and everybody at Ian Tyrrell's Workshop ❤

[@SnowDawg]

This was a magnificent episode. I enjoy both Iain's artistry with tuning engines and also his ability to clearly explain the intricacies of tuning priceless engine. He also brilliantly explains the history of the cars. I appreciated all of the sarcasm that he and Claus wove into this presentation. Thank you for sharing this.

[@jonkvh]

That was absolutely Brilliant Ian. You were a perfect public speaker too. Thanks!

[@risinbison1106]

That…..was….awesome….A master practicing his craft.

[@vitovitale169]

The great Giotto Bizzarrini designed the Miura's engine which was first manufactured for use in the 350GT in 1964. An engine that carried on in production all the way to the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce!

[@ericsbuell]

Aw Ian, thanks for this early Christmas present. It was so good to see you perform, where you are the "star" for a change. Some comments mention "tough audience" or similar, I replied to one with this "Perhaps the "tough audience" was spellbound and realised they would never witness this again, while crafting tales to share with their children that they had seen Merlin and he was real! 🎄😉✨

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

Have to appreciate the amount of knowledge that Mr Tyrell dispenses with such clarity and charisma. It’s an art.

[@vonwesty3544]

It thrills me to no end when I see Iain get the hose and screwdriver out for a bit of tuning. Tossing the air meter over the shoulder was better than a pinch of salt.

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

Iain, I am subscribed & I enjoy all your videos. Yet, I must respectfully correct you on the world's first supercar: Jay Leno, the greatest car guy on this planet, called his Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing the first supercar--which it is (I raced the AMG SLS offspring). Check out his video on Jay Leno's Garage to get the full story. Cheers.

[@johndavey72]

Good evening Iain ......the master at work !......l must confess when l saw the video of you tuning the Miura at the NEC (?) I thought , yeah ,right ! and dismissed it as a publicity stunt . Which l gues it was !!! ........little did l know that this was no plot or trick , this was the master at work ! I , like the other 169k viewers have become accustomed to your passion and expertise in all things automotive , but above all Lamborghini . I was desperate to win that outragious , obscene "euro millions " so l could treat you to a Lamborghini of your choice .......oh well , dream on ! Thankyou lain , and if we don't see you before Christmas , have a quiet and peaceful time . 💕

[@hamishcruden7623]

Most amazing video. The way you can tune the car with your hearing is simply a sight to behold...

[@gertjanzuidema]

What a treat! Thank you!

[@DouglasJWalker]

Excellent video. You must also feature Monteverdi who has a similar story.

[@hughoxford8735]

The word “carburettor” has nothing to do with the slightly fanciful etymology advanced by Iain. It means to “combine with carbon” - in this case hydrocarbons.

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you. Nice to hear No. 6 engine running. Excellent video.

[@timc924]

Iain Tyrrell: the Stephen Fry of the restoration caper. What a maestro. In some centuries, he'd have been put on a ducking stool to establish if he was a Warlock.

[@tomquinn607]

Wonderful etymology of the word 'carburetor'. Jewels of knowledge.

[@711-j5j]

I am not ashamed to say that when you started that engine, a tear came to my eye as I remembered when way back in my youth, we tried the same thing with a GM 327 V8 and it, being not fastened down, rolled over on the floor but nothing was broken. Once again I will suggest you start a school of sorts to pass on your genius abilities with these art forms and oh yes, did they knight you yet. :)

[@pj9375]

Very good excellent. Must go and purchase that technical instrument for carb tuning… what was called again? A rubber hose?

[@loaded2820]

Lovely video, but the crowd was hard work.

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

Fabulous as always, such a precision explaining things ,such a passion tuning an engine like voicing a pipe organ.Not owning any craburettored such complicate engine in my collection, but I seriously think about, just to imagine you to make it perfect and drive with that"signature". Merry Xmas Maestro, and thanks for a fantastic year full of dreamery and science

Miura what a beautiful car in any colour. The V12 engines are works of art. Covet!

[@jordyderidder8485]

I am in the same situation, being in car mechanics for more than 40 years the younger generation fail massively in overall knowledge of basic car mechanics, they are usually out when their little computer has got no codes stored and it comes down to old school listening to a running engine or in some cases a non running one, I fear for the future as they are no capable of fixing/repairing no more just replacing random bits and hoping it will work again, a dying breed indeed, well done Ian a delight to watch as usual

[@michaelfraser5723]

Flippant Dane : DON'T GET THE MAD GOV STARTED ON SNOW TYRES, WE HARDLY HAVE ANY SNOW, AND WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE, WARMING THE ROADS AND PATHS.

[@stephencurry8552]

Saw the video was available. Did not play it straight away. I figured it was something special. And it is. Makes me so happy to see machines cared for at the same level I take care of mine. It is truly wonderful that so many see something like the Miura as a piece of working art. To see the balanced coin made me laugh and smile. Bravo.

[@aussiebloke609]

When the car started, I thought for a moment that someone had made a mistake and installed a tractor engine. Wow, did that sound sick. 🤮

[@rafaelfiallo4123]

Bravo! I'm going to start wearing a sports jacket when I work on my cars....

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

Can you *start* the engine with the coin on its edge? (I believe that where the coin trick comes from: BMW showed this when they launched the 750)

[@iain_tyrrell]

Never tried that on a Miura

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

@@iain_tyrrell Have you tried on other italian V12s? Maybe it would be easier on a fuel injected one?

[@petersellers-dy9mm]

Most of us working as mechanics in the 60s /80s can do this, as it was quite normal in those times 🙂

[@3myluckynumber]

Stoichiometry is actually a Greek word Mr. Iain which comes fron the words στοιχείο(element) + μέτρον(metric). Thank you for the lesson on carburators and their οperating principle. Wishing all car enthusiasts "warm" holidays & a happy New Year!!!

[@timvins]

I certainly hope Ian had some sort of ear protection for the static engine demonstration, those ears are very precious 👂😎

[@jbar100]

has Iain ever done a sound demo thru the rubber hose pipe so we can all hear what it sounds like? I think a lot of us would be interested in that. Also wonder if the length and hole diameter are of any significance to the sonics. Wonder if it works on twin su's on a mgb which I don't have any more but would be interested to see it done on one. I know when I did have an mgb the mechanic used one of those air flow meters setting it up each time after I tried to make it go faster. uuuuhhhh yeah did I say go faster. Don't you just hate it when the old lady with the walker races you to the next stop sign and all you can think about is how friggin fast she moves with a walker.

[@iain_tyrrell]

The cam in the B series MGB engine has quite a lot of valve overlap, which makes it lumpy at idle to start with. They’re surprisingly tricky to tune because of that. Maybe the old lady was a bit more savvy than we think!🤔

[@happy_camper]

Every time I turn around, I am discovering a new favourite colour for the Miura.

[@Z-u-m-a]

Just wonderful. Thanks Iain.

[@bryantharris5914]

I'd love for Ian to put a microphone in his ear so we could hear what he hears from that rubber tube.

[@johnlawrence9066]

I was lucky as a young engineer to be taught by my father the technique of tuning carbs by ear . Something , in my late seventies , I still do for a local restoration company To the younger engineers , carbs , tappets , and points are a mystery ! . Even the Lucas fuel injection on Triumphs can benefit from a listen to the trumpets on the throttle bodies for balancing . Love the videos , don't stop .

[@MarcSourdillon]

The joke about the etymology of the word "carburetor" was absolutely hilarious... None of the blokes present seemed to have caught it, or did they?
