Ian Tyrrell is a man who can not only repair and restore all these beautiful cars, but also has the gumption to take his hands fully off the steering wheel when driving them. I think we can all respect that!
Haha I thought I'd hit upon one of my old remarks when I saw that. Exactly my thoughts and when you watch one of these vids it makes one realise how infuriating & distracting background music is in other people's vids along with gushing over emotion

Crescent wrench and a hammer. A .lot of skinned knuckles. I remember changing rings, bearings ,other stuff on a back street in Mexico city.

I've just discovered your super site, January 18, 2024. Ian, you have the ability of sharing your vast knowledge in simple but clear language. The video "turbo-charged & supercharged" video is a fine example. You bring to light the difficult challenge of explaining advanced technical issues to the likes of us.... I'm in my ninetieth year, and now enjoy some of the finer technical points of my petrolheaded mind, energized after arrival in Canada in 1951 at the tender age of 17. As a young man in Eastern Canada, I enjoyed many British four cylinder sports cars: an early MGTC, a TD, then a 1955 BN1 Healey, a Mini Cooper, and later a Spitfire. Your videos have given me a deeper understanding of what I experienced with cars and technology of that era. As an aside, and you may hardly believe this story. I raced the Healey briefly in 1957 on an airport circuit, learning so much about 'accelerated' driving, and the motorsport world. I have photos of my efforts in one event following a Montreal owner driving his Jaguar XKSS. I hardly believe this myself, but photographs clearly show the 'SS' and myself in action. In light of what is now known about the SS, I wonder if you have comments. Rodney Vancouver Island Canada
Thank you for your highly interesting comment. You have some very interesting experiences. It’s easy to forget that some of the cars that are now “iconic” had colourful pasts. Thanks again!
No loud music,no overactive presenters,just a knowledgeable man telling and showing us what's going on as if we are equals. Just brilliant,thank you very very much Mr Tyrell.
I really like this guy. He doesn't just put his cars away in a garage while waiting for them to increase in value. He maintains and drives them. The perfect classic car owner.
My Dad (RIP), was a mechanic all his life beginning in the 1930s. He taught me a few tricks of the trade including the use of a long screwdriver to diagnose noises. Thanks Ian for reminding me of how brilliant a mechanic my Dad was.
Listening to Ian is easy. He speaks well and comfortably. What makes it even better is plethora of knowledge he shares as he talks about what he is doing, adding that oh so important bit of history which adds so much to the fun of the story and process. He really knows his stuff. Fun as heck for me.
I like both, and I'm not very technical, but can appreciate the technical. Rarely over my head to the point of frustration. Mr Tyrrell is an artist and I am an art lover.
@barry rudge I'm not very technical but I think I like this channel a little more. Sometimes Harry's intros are a little tedious, IMO. And Mr Tyrrell seems to capture the 'rush' of driving pleasure more on video and the sound you hear in the cabin. With Harry and most journos, he doesn't pause his voice long enough and I have to imagine eveything based on his words rather than receiving the experience. Here I feel more part of the driving experience. Would love it if the drives were a little longer.
This is genuinely the best of the historic, restoration, etc channels on UA-cam. Diamond inlaid platinum quality from beginning to end. Bad Obsession is the modification and Harry's Garage the classic car review equivalents The rest, whilst well worth watching are also rans.
Jason Pinkwhistle. If you enjoy classic car restorations. One guy who specialises in older Alfa Romeo's is a South African guy called Jethro Bonner. His channel is well worth a watch. ua-cam.com/channels/0fSgL1geSF5L7GShj33qkw.html
bad obsession? are those the guys whove taken seven fucking years to put 4wd in a mini? seven fucking YEARS! have to recommed westen champlin, he rebuilt a peterbilt in a month and put a 6bt in a mustang this week. . you like technical, ? deboss garage is no nonsense, big diesels, proper man stuff. none of this farting about in a polo shirt lark.
I’m 63 years-old and can remember quite clearly how cheap these cars were to buy used and how nobody entered one in a Ferrari gathering because they were not considered proper Ferrari’s. Of course, AC Cobras languished in dealership showrooms, too. Because for less money you could buy a Corvette that had roll-up windows and a heater. Lol. Time has a funny way of making us look back at things through a different lens. Love these videos.
The only reason this channels subs is not in the millions is that it's still new and people haven't found it yet, but they will and I'm so glad I found it because it's honestly my favourite channel on YT.
Stunning looking Dino , the interior is just gorgeous. I also look forward to the bit when you give it the beans at the end of the videos , these older classics sound way better than any of the modern stuff 👍🏻
Presented as beautifully as the car with just the right amount of technical input to make it thoroughly interesting and educational. Listening with screwdrivers and tubes to the ear - class. Who’s training the younger generation when these national treasures finally sit back? Thank you Iain and of course, thank you thank you Harry. Sláinte JP
What Iain doesn't know about cars of this era could be written on the back of a postage stamp. Just wonderful knowledge and presented beautifully. One of the few You Tube channels I have with notifications turned on.
This is the only channel I subscribe to that I can hit the like button before I even watch an episode. The filming is first rate, the commentary is seamless, the knowledge is deep. This feels like a television program with a high production budget. It's better than pretty much anything on the Motortrend channel. Iain should be on the short list for knighthood.
I really can't get enought of this UA-cam channel.... So much so that I've thrown my TV out of the window ( I live in a top floor penthouse) This is all I need on a regular basis.
Rapidly become one of the best channels available through sharing a lifetime of knowledge... and still gracious enough to thank the audience for watching. Class.
Iain diagnoses tappet clearances but listening to a screwdriver placed against the head of a Ferrari engine, and tunes the carbs on a DB5 with a piece of garden hose. This is the man you want working on your car! It must just take a staggering amount of knowledge and experience, mind blowing.
Had never been interested in cars until a 1971 Bora (metalic blue centre-spread in a Car mag) made my jaw drop when I opened the page - but it was the 246GT that finally cemented my descent into petrol-headedness... :)
These are such a joy to watch, an absolute master doing what he does best and sharing that extensive knowledge and experience in an open, warm manner that invites you in. Not remotely cocky or superior, just confident and friendly.
An engineer acquaintance took me for a drive in his 246 in the year 2000. It is not a fast car, especially by today’s standards, but it is breathtakingly beautiful and truly thrilling to ride in. When I see one on the road today, I know I am seeing a true automotive enthusiast.
Sir, something about watching and listening to you lowers my blood pressure. So much interesting information and your passion for the history of these automobiles combines to create a sort of time warp as I watch. 18 minutes goes by so swiftly. Thank you so much. Bruce
Dear Mr. Busby, Just start with a classic that you can afford - not the cheapest one, but the best example that fits within your budget. Then work your way up the ladder by trading, adding history and sympathetic preservation, taking great photos...and don't blow your money on depreciating new cars. It's worked for us for over 30 years.
Woke up this morn to news the sports car segment is in terminal decline and will disappear. Who would have thought. So glad channels like this exist to remind us what it's all about and why we love cars.
What a great video. I loved the way you explained the process of changing the tappet shim. And that sound, bliss. A red 1969 246 Dino Gt was my first “supercar” experience as a 15yr old in 1972. It felt like a rocket ship then!
Another of my all time favourite cars. Also the first Ferrari I worked on in '76 when I started working for a Ferrari/Mercedes/Porsche main delaer in Essex. It, too was a black GTS. Brilliant stuff.
I built a plastic model of this car 40 years ago. Always wanted one. I’m afraid that dream will never happen because they are through the roof $$. At least I found this channel to dream again. Thank you!!
A must for any car enthousiaste. It is my go to for exotic mechanical maintenance and repairs. You have a depth of knowledge and I thank you for sharing it.
Your channel is fast becoming one of my favorites! Your presentation is spot on. Loved seeing the screwdriver stethoscope to listen to the tappets! Next you'll be pulling out a bit of fuel hose to adjust the air metering of the carburetors.
Great Video of a Great car. I scored a '74 GTS for $12,000 AUD all orig. Best investment it has been together with the joy of ownership. Classic design that has stood the test of time
There's not much like this channel out there. Mr. Tyrrell clearly knows his business. Provides access to all the details of the most interesting cars that are lucky enough to find their way to his shop and is kind enough to share his knowledge. There are a lot of other good car channels out there, but this one is probably the best. Great cars, a knowledgeable guest and a clean shop, that's the recipe right there. Thank you kindly.
it's been a hell of week here in the states . . . . . senses are oh so overloaded & so much to feel responsible for. but sensitivity to the feelings & alterations of this mechanical object seemed to melt away my current configurations. good job on the car, good job on the drive & a good job all around on me. thanks for this.
Directors note: Ian leans over Dino 246 GTS to adjust valve clearances with Miura and two Espadas parked casually in the background. Another wonderful video. Waiting for the next one. Thank you Ian.
Always a pleasure to watch your latest videos, Iain. I couldn't help but drool over those Daytona seats in the Dino - so elegant, a design classic in their own right.
Mr Tyrrell, as a ham-fisted oaf incapable of anything beyond an oil change, your videos are an absolute joy. Such a wealth of knowledge and put across in a delightful way. All power to your elbow.
My all time favorite Ferrari (even if it’s a Dino). Been my favorite since I watch “The Persuaders” with Tony Curtis and Roger More. Thank you for the video! Please take care and keep on sharing your passion!
Another wonderful video 🙂🙂 and a great way to start my day. This is one of the top 3 classic car channels on the web today IMHO. A must watch if you’re into things automotive 🙂🙂👍🏻👍🏻

18 minutes gone in the blink of an eye. When Harry met Iain it was a match made in heaven. The two best channels by far.
agreed! these two along with bertim (BBI) & stef (papadakisracing) are my top picks

Agree he forgot Catchpole, these three guys are the 'Holy Trinity' of motoring on UA-cam. 👍🏻
Agreed. Great depth of knowledge you can’t read about
Great videos, so informative and every thing is explained so well and love the test drives, my new favorite car channel.
When I watch guys like working on engines with all the right tools and knowledge, I remember my first years learniing how to do this. A screwdriver ( or kitchen knife ) Set of visegrips. Crescent wrench and a hammer. A .lot of skinned knuckles. I remember changing rings, bearings ,other stuff on a back street in Mexico city. Holding the engiine up with the wheel jack on the front pulley of the crankshaft. I was under it when it slipped off the jack and mashed my right middle finger. Took a few days ,but the car went another 10K miles before it blew up !!!! That was the winter of '75--'76 AH Youth !!!!!
I dropped a Ford Escort II estate gearbox on my face, while changing the clutch while the car was on simple metal ramps. 1983 I recall.
It hurt.
Massively underrated, there’s no better automotive channel than this full stop.
Jay Leno is pretty good too :)
i dont think its under rated , more unknown.
Unknown for now but he hit fifty thousand subs way faster than most auto chans. he will hit a mil within another year bank on it.
It's top notch but so is m539 restorations as well 👍
Love the smile on his face when he floors a car out of the corners. The one he did on the M1 was the million pound smile!. Just fabulous!. TQ.
What an absolute expert in his field, and he does his work in such a gentleman's way... very very impressive!

My Dad who was a marine engineer by trade and was an early specialist in Fluid Dynamics always called hammers, 'American Screwdrivers' :-)
Best thing about cars is the people behind them. The engineers that made them and the mechanics that maintain them are so cool.
Don’t you just love the level of ‘old-school’ knowledge this man has? What a delight to watch.
The fact that he puts the cap back on the pen each time he uses it shows he knows how to do things properly.
Oddly I thought the same........ Glad I'm not alone in my thinking......

I don’t watch Harry’s garage, I find him annoying. Too much excitement, not enough technical
You're absolutely right, luv both Harry and Tyrrells channels.

My all time favorite Ferrari (even if it’s a Dino). Been my favorite since I watch “The Persuaders” with Tony Curtis and Roger More.
Thank you for the video! Please take care and keep on sharing your passion!
Another wonderful video 🙂🙂 and a great way to start my day. This is one of the top 3 classic car channels on the web today IMHO. A must watch if you’re into things automotive 🙂🙂👍🏻👍🏻
What are the other two, iyho?
A classic car whisperer. Great to see him bringing these beauties back to life.

In a world of modern computers and diagnostic tools, Iain uses a stethoscope to diagnose the Dino engine. Brilliant! Cheers
