THE SCOTTISH SUPERCAR | The Scotch Tape - Episode 3

[@turner7232]

Feels like I'm watching the old Top Gear again... loving the series and keep up the good work!

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, turner! So pleased you're enjoying the series!

That lost shot in the end with the drone was the best! I dig your stuff man! you have a good voice, good dictation, stellar animation, good typography, nice editing, and very good camera work. Very entreating channel to watch! Keep it up man!

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thank-you again greatly for your generous words. I'm really happy you're enjoying the videos. We had a great time filming them. I was super pleased with how that final drone shot turned out, the Isle of Mull is such a beautiful place mind that it seemed like I could fly my drone in any direction and it would capture stunning scenery!

Bob Henderson lives just up the road from me, he has 2 left in his shed, very well know around here in Argyll and Bute. Great video.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks for watching, Steven. Bob Henderson seems like a fantastic and passionate guy, unfortunately when I was touring the area he was away so I was unable to pay him a visit, however he sent me lots of old Argyll Turbo GT booklets and newspaper articles which were fascinating to read through. I didn't know he had 2 Turbo GTs though (I thought he only had 1), so that increases the grand total I know to be in existence to three cars! Thanks for sharing, and what a wonderful part of the UK you live in!

Graham Borrajo cool! I am best friends with his grandson, he said he has a full one and the chassis for another, I had him fabricate a steel head Tube steerer for one of my down hill bike a Norco a few years ago! Still got it and others, his work shop is like a time capsule bits of engines and old machinery every where! You should arrange a meet up with him he has loads of great story’s to tell. Oh yeah and I work with the man who drove that blue one the length and breadth of Britain promoting it! He said it was a great machine! They made a 4 door version too, and Bob hated Colin chapman btw! Looking forward to your next content!

[@AveragetoPoor]

That sounds awesome! His work shop sounds like it could/should become a museum. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely try to meet him if he's available, would love to learn more about his career and the Turbo GT. I was fortunate enough to meet Andrew Smith, who owns the blue prototype, he had some incredible stories about test driving the Turbo GT during its development. It's amazing that such a big car was said to be so precise to drive. That's interesting that Bob Henderson didn't like Colin Chapman, do you happen to know the story behind that?

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, Nevs. Really glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!

[@projectilequestion]

It’s actually a really thoroughly designed car.

[@csamby1694]

Just to say I liked the video and had a lot respect for you doing these I am A big fan of the ArgyllGT my self and my grandfather Who is 97 worked with fish 🐟 carbs and I have had a sit down with Bob Henderson in front of Silver car with the interior in it which is used in the posters I dont Believe the story about The kitchen table and the 🥃 as I don’t think Andrew was involved in till later on after eight it started but led to believe he was an awesome driver and did some really cool stuff and put the car through his paces And the story about the brick wall I dont find out realistic they might have hit a polar by accident lol I don’t know how many were built thay keep me guessing all the time i won’t to say 12 mabe 6 and haff complete including the blue Raleigh I no thare rad 1 that woos dismissed as genuine for a loing time but Think that’s resolved now that used to show up on eBay now and again I’ve seen pictures of a green one with different back lights and the later ones had smaller doors and they all had the same size wheels front and back which is extremely rare for a Madind engine car

[@andiminthegarage7081]
