Urban Origins - The Urban Automotive Story

[@yiannimize]

Very kind words. You have taken it to a level that will not be matched… You deserve it all and more!

[@STEVIEBHOY]

Hope you got Christmas all wrapped up Stickerman

[@roxind]

Here after watching Seen Through Glass's visit, and the Urban origins story didn't disappoint.

[@Robbie1264]

The Urban RS6 and the Urban SVR are probably my 2 favourites that is in your range of opulence but each one of your team are the definition of dedication and perfection 👍

[@ginggur17]

Love you guys, this video totally compounds my views, down to Earth, know your stuff, great insights to the end goals, great humour. Thankyou so much for showing us. Would love to pop down to see ya from Lincolnshire at some point. Keep the fantastic brand flying. 👍👍🇬🇧

[@darrennightingale932]

What a story, keys points picked out for me - as Lenny said, Simon is a leader - Simon isn't afraid to ask for help. He clearly holds Yianni in high esteem - He trusts his vision, never allow someone to tell you something can't be done. If you believe it, trust in yourself and put everything you have into it. Amazing video, I am so glad I've watched it. Well done to Simon, Lenny and the whole Urban team, here is to 2022 being bigger and eve better

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate the nice words! Lots of hard work on this one, more stories to tell in 2022 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@darrennightingale932]

@@UrbanAutomotive can't wait. Hope you all had a nice Christmas

[@amsealtd]

Just another top company and respect to say your mum and dad help and support along the way and having Yan on side u will always win that guys a born winner! When I can afford a defender I will be calling u up

[@ajhicks2748]

Amazing video. Really interesting!!! I have some urban bits on my defender and they finish it off. I love the little features, little union jack on side grille!! Finish it off!

[@joshfoley4672]

I’ve been a fan of Urban channel pretty much since it begun, and it’s amazing to see how you’ve managed to stay so humble Simon with the growth of your business, where others may let the fame get to there heads, and become out of touch with the real world. You’ve managed to stay so humble and down to earth, create a fanatic team, such a fantastic reparable business, and a fantastic KZbin channel. Your an absolute admiration to us all! I wish you and all of Urban the very best for the future! I can not wait to see what you guys come out with next. Keep up the good works guys!! Have a very merry Christmas and happy new year!💙

[@midasman1768]

Excellent video, keep up the great work. looking forward to my Urban D90 arriving next year.

[@YourOnlyDrivingAsylum]

The automotive world is in such a better place because of people who genuinely have genius ideas and passion for their industry ... I have been a fan from day one & Urban without Lenny isn't worth thinking about !! Some jobs are just made for the right people and your team getting together was pure fate !! I can't wait to see what the future holds and to win the lotto and buy a full fleet of Urban vehicles !! 🙌🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate the kind words 🙌🏻

[@darrenturner4352]

Great story, being brave and bold is never easy, been watching for the last 2 years and nearly bought an Urban RR a year ago from a second hand dealer. Decided to wait and and come direct for G Wagon this year, will be calling you soon.

[@KOL630]

Very interesting and inspiring story. Good to see a British company doing so well 🙌🏼

[@sparkiegaz3613]

Deserve everything that happens to them great to see something good come from all the hard work and effort,, 👍👍👍👍👍🚗

[@robertkirk1983]

Great story. Great watch. Great brand. Can't wait to see you grow and hopefully one day soon purchase one your vehicles.

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thanks Robert!

[@goonerkingaa]

Brilliant and fascinating watch. Was disappointed when it finished! Top class as is the Urban brand 👍🏻

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thanks Andrew!

[@russellsworld8195]

Great video

[@lordgill4267]

Been looking forward to this episode since you mentioned it a few weeks back, it didn’t disappoint, just an amazing strory😁👍 you should all be very very proud of what you have done. I’m am currently on my second Urban 90, one old Defender and now a new 90 and will be looking for my third in the New Year, a nice 110 for the good lady wife 😄 Simply brilliant 🤩 😄👍

[@caneytt]

Enjoyed watching your journey, thanks for sharing

[@michaelbragg5074]

A slickly produced video that shows what hard work, dedication and a desire to make something work can achieve. A great company that is testament to the owners and Lenny! Hoping one day I’ll be driving one of your vehicles. All the best for the future.

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Merry Christmas and thanks for your support! 🙌🏻

[@edwarddonovan5305]

Really enjoyed this. It’s great to see a British brand become so successful while the people at the top remain so grounded and humble. Love the videos - keep it up!

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thanks Edward 💪🏻

[@lav773]

Good job guys keep it going Cars look awesome 👌

[@DSM2009]

Congrats Simon, Lennie. From humble beginnings to brand Urban has been amazing 👏🏾 Respect to all the crew & Yianni making it such a success 🙌🏾

[@razamir6915]

Wow, what a journey. Such an inspiration. Love the fact they are all down to earth. Take a bow gents! 🙇‍♂️

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate your support!

[@razamir6915]

Always one step ahead. Met Simon briefly at a show years ago. Very humble guy 👏🏽

[@peterchristou9118]

Great video guys. Good insight to a brand conquering the automotive world. It proves drive and vision can put you on the map aswell as keep you level headed. Well done Simon, Lenny and the whole Urban team. Very inspirational 👏 👏👏👏

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate it!

[@Wayne-R-]

Happy Christmas lads and well done I love the Chanel and what you are doing the banter between everybody at urban is class, looking forward to next year

[@andrewchandler2752]

Hard work does pay off , very inspiring ..

[@_chenn]

Always been a fan of urban, the OEM+ aspect. The fact they don’t look OTT and have stuck to their own design language. Big props for this videos, cool to see. I followed Lenny years ago, before any of this because his videos cracked me up. All the best

[@invictalad]

Another amazing video guys! What a company! I think Lenny summed it up perfectly having a job you enjoy but not passionate about. I think we all aspire to be in that position. Urban seems to be a proper dream factory for its owners, workforce and customers.

[@jplyall123]

That was awesome, great insight to Urban.

[@samkingsland-joy1557]

Favourite episode so far. Been following the journey for many years. What a brand you’ve built. Would love to hear more about the challenges Simon faced when building the brand and how he balances his work load!

[@YepYepYepYepYep]

Unbelievable! Your vehicles are something else! Fantastic company, one day I will have a fleet of Urban motors! 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@UrbanAutomotive]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Slap_s9175]

Well done guys for going bigger and better

[@reeceharris-smith5633]

Unreal episode 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mmjtaylor]

A great success story and truly inspiring Simon, keep up the fantastic products and content. Thanks for sharing it with us. Mikey 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stevechambers8670]

What a great insight to your business such a humble guy reaching great heights. Your cars speak for themselves they are levels above anything else I’ve seen every time I watch the latest video I always say to my wife our first port of call when my lottery numbers come up is Urban Automotive I dream of the day I can come and buy a car from you. Being a globally recognised brand is only just around the corner looking forward to seeing what you do in 2022! Merry Christmas to you all 👌🏻

[@henrymeekin871]

Been following the brand since before Lenny joined, great to see the progress over the last few years. Truly the leaders of the game💪🏻

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate it! 💪🏻

[@hunting4chaos]

followed the brand for a while now and to watch it grow was great but to see where its all started is amazing great work and hope 22 onwards sends you to knew levels....

[@performancedirectnet]

Great video, Killing it..

[@andrewasghar]

Amazing achievement. Really enjoyed this video.

[@broncoupe]

As an originator of this market in 1980s unfortunately I crashed and burned ultimately its a pleasure to watch your development and achievements aided by a close team this is essential keep it up every success for 2022

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate it!

[@roheelb9950]

Great video, I've enjoyed watching your channel for years but this video was the first to make me instantly head over and hit the subscribe button.

[@duncandoit8460]

Great vid lads, down to earth owner and team producing sweet cars. Hopefully some day my numbers come in on the loto and I'll be over for an RS6🤣🤣. Best wishes for 2022.

[@peterlloyd6337]

Extremely interesting how you built Urban, and your association and friendship with Yianne. In my opinion your modifications = OEM as the standards are impeccable from Urban. I do not see that high standard of fit and finish elsewhere when it comes to modifications & enhancements. Peter P.S. any modifications I'd come to you as top of the list, no matter how 'big' some other companies maybe. You still give that passionate feeling about your brand, other brands lack that personal touch...your immediate and wider team give that feeling of pride in the job!

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Pride in everything we do! Merry Christmas Peter 🙌🏻

[@bugsbacon3025]

Top trumps to you guys. Love your design. You must regard yourself as artists. I can only hope that a humble gardener will one day be able to walk in to buy one of your cars.

[@vsrugby]

Congratulations on hitting 40k subs ! Thoroughly enjoyed your last episode of the year guys , what an incredible back story edited to perfection 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🚀

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thank you!!

[@Jonny114411]

Great Chanel been watching you guys from the very beginning

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thanks for your support!

[@limeclayHQ]

The RS6 reimagined by Urban... thats is on top of my bucketlist

[@Trollhater-mb8ne]

What a brand just awesome, I’ll be driving straight over to MK after any lottery win

[@chrismcerlain1664]

Really interesting back story. Saw you all at Goodwood a couple of yrs ago. Amazing work you guys produce, just need those 6 numbers to drop and I`ll be banging on your door :-)

[@nigeltew7877]

Great to hear about the backstory of the urban brand,amazing attention to detail that goes into your builds,keep up the great work and content 👍

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thanks Nigel

[@samwarner24]

This was a great video!! 👏🏼 Really enjoyed it, the goal is to hopefully own one of your cars That’s the dream🤞🏼😁

[@UrbanAutomotive]

All the best sam 🙌🏻

[@AUTOIDTV]

Got to say guys, really inspiring. Hope we can create a brand as strong as Urban over the following years 👊🏼

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thanks guys! Love what your building, merry Christmas 🎄

[@blueberrynoon]

Cracking story... love a risk taker that makes it.. and still seems so nice and humble. All the best to all you guys from up here in wigan , where ive only seen 1 urban car driving round ( disco ) 😂.. keep doing what your doing and giving us the good content 👍

[@skodaw]

What a brilliant video!! I first became aware of Urban when Yanni had the first one and I’ve followed you guys since. Thank god someone with taste has taken on the likes of Bentley, Rolls Royce etc as you said in the video there is a place for some of the more “Out there kits” but probably not in the UK. Hope the company keeps going strength to strength 👍

[@paulchapman565]

You deserve every success Simon & Urban Automotive’s team. Everyone looks really happy, must be a great place to work. So. nice to see how humble you still are, especially from the massive success you have achieved. May next year be even better 👏👏👏

[@hardy3559]

Thank you for this I was a new is fan , now I’m totally onboard, love the story so far I want to see you a global name 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@darylvanzyl57]

Great story and wish you well for the future. The new green & white Defender 90 is probably the coolest build ever!!

[@m110ncustomize7]

Very Genuine guys. Very inspirational and motivational. Excellent work done. Highly recommended. Would love to work with these guys.

[@TheCowlers]

Excellent video guys, very interesting. Love all the videos but this is by far the best. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

Merry Christmas!

[@chrisarmstrong7845]

Hi Lads, Just watch your video. You are an inspiration to everyone; your hard work and dedication is unbelievable. I follow your youtube channel and enjoy your videos, but this video gives a real insight into your company's background and the people that make it what it is. I wish you continued success.

[@markarmstrong2592]

Very good video i really liked it. Simon you have done a TOP NOTCH JOB getting to were you are today we all need good friends in life and you have some great ones and a good team as well even Lenny lol. All the best for the future happy christmas and new year to use all keep the videos coming

Great video, fantastic company ethos.

[@francbrimsden4205]

Great video very interesting 👍 Merry Christmas

[@aln74]

Well done guys you have went from strength to strength then to the top and never looked back , your strength is keeping it real , roll on urban 2022 😎

[@UrbanAutomotive]

All the best for 2022! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@olaayoola9037]

Love to see it. From the ground up.

[@Shanks10297]

To me Urban is one of those companies that whatever they do just works! I'm a massive fan of the 'OEM Plus' look and in most cases its almost like thats what the car should've looked like in the first place.

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@SASKR88]

Great channel. Great videos. Funny and professional lot of guys and girls. Don’t find that a lot in businesses. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@mrlv8126]

Wow what a great business you have created you must be very proud..👍🏻

[@granthayes1673]

Very good video !! 👌👏👏

[@DeanJonathanNeal]

When I left school in 2015, I emailed you to see if you had any jobs or wanted any apprentices to train up. During that summer holidays I worked for RedBull F1 Team as an apprentice but never stayed on. I trained up and now own a Locksmith company with my dad. I've seen you grow and it's been a great experience, also had some family members take their cars to you. Mainly 'V12 KTH & V888 SVR'. One day I'll get a defender van through the business and come to you!

[@slyboy1966]

Well deserved. Top company . Enjoyed the videos. Respect ✊🏻 🙌🏻💯

[@briteize136]

Truly inspiring!!! Onwards and upwards guys!!! Where can I order one of your hoodies?

[@meriemaitihya1031]

Good luck my friend Hamza 😍😍

[@pas7272]

Great story, lads done good

[@RakwanTWOFOUR]

I certainly believe I've found my dream company I work with/for.

[@amarahmed8227]

I want to work for Simon, i honestly think you cant get a better boss, this guy has a vision and made it a reality, i intend to become part of the Urban family, im like Lenny did rubbish in school have no formal qualifications, but if i apply myself like Lenny, i can become a part of something great.

[@WilliamStevens007]

Just watched this and found it utterly enthralling and informative. Kudos to you all at Urban. Simon, Do you keep in mind colours as sometimes you see something that looks completely rubbish in white but add something and it looks great. Colour is all important in my eyes.

[@martinboulden3540]

Best video this year guys.

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Thank you!

[@lucgeraerts6672]

Cool story Urbanists👍👍👍

[@Laughitupfuzzball439]

Great video Merry Christmas The Urban Team 🎄

[@ssb8344]

The other director seems to really know his stuff. These more in depth videos are more interesting than the standard videos. You guys should to a few modern classics like the mk2 gti, corrrado, Merc 190, w140, r129, and definitely a Range Rover classic.

[@oliverjohns8375]

Great video into the business and the mindset of it all! Donut media has a video on why the new bmw kidney grill is so controversial for bmw’s design history what is the main philosophy that will always make urban visually recognised by design language de-badged?

[@karlbailey5191]

Amazing company, love watching your content. Sounds cheesy but my dream is one day to buy an urban RS6.

[@UrbanAutomotive]

Definitely a favourite of ours!

[@paulscr]

Inspiring. Fair play.

[@Nightster79]

Very interesting to hear your story. Your vehicles always looked cool and stood out.. PS: The background music during the talks was distracting.
