I was so disappointed this wasn't a Binky or the transportation truck vid at first and then I got interested in his fascinating story. Thanks, and please do another vid once he's finished his project?
@@jonatanrullman Well, he (unlike this pair) did set a finish date of before his 70th birthday which is later this year so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn’t get a kink for making brackets (like someone I could mention) and it takes him another decade.
This episode was filled with emotion. This chap is an incredibly visceral character. His partner helped him recognize his passion and pushed him to pursue his dreams. This is was a very inspiring story. It all begins with a man in a shed…
The format this was done in was the winner, the narrative was continuous with no awkward questions getting in the way. My first love was Triumphs and I had a seven speed system in the 80's by leaving out the inhibitor switch and using the gear lever switch. A very good story from a well spoken and confident speaker, I wonder what instigated it.
The car is basically done. Makes me wonder if they are waiting on other company's to make the interior for them. Been wondering on the Escargot thingy though? Not seen the lorry in ages.
This is one of the most lovely documentaries that I have seen in the last 40 years. Quiet, intimate and amazing in the gentle way that Mr. Revington shared his life story and how his passion for Triumph cars has helped thousands of others to enjoy them as well. I have resisted the temptation of the TR6 - one of the most beautiful cars to ever turn a wheel, due to the reports of the flawed handling and nimpressive speed. THis has made me rethink that conclusion. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Fantastic all round. Amazing photography, editing, music. What a tip bloke. So easy to listen to talking. And something that is often overlooked but clear to see in this film, is a loving, understanding and supportive wife!
I genuinely enjoyed this one. Thank you wholeheartedly. With maturity comes the understanding that the world around us is not a given but the result of human ingenuity and perseverance. It is only recently that I have grasped the tenacity required to create *anything*. Each skyscraper, each suspension bridge, each vaccine, each work of art is a testament to dedication and passion. The world is an immense museum of human effort, each creation whispering stories of pursued dreams and challenges overcome.
I "only" have a lowly 1976 Spitfire but the Triumph roadsters are so endearing. Listening to this gentleman's tail of his lifelong passion is inspiring.
Wonderful presentation! I was a young boy in the 60s and my father owned a TR 2 (along with several Corvettes). I loved that car so much, the sound of the engine, the interior, the smells, the swooping doors, oh and that steering wheel 😁. I can remember going for rides and how cool it felt. The only other car I've been as fond of was the Morgan (I reckon circa 50s) a neighbor owned. So I was the little guy on the street that was lucky enough to have ridden (quite frequently) in two very iconic automobiles. I'd give honorable mention to the Model A and Model T another neighbor had fully restored that I was also lucky enough to ride in frequently but they had nothing on the lovely British Motorcars I still so much love today (and I'm in my early 60s now).
This is a wonderful watch, thank you. Speaking of Jimmy McRae. My dad gave him his last Rolo when they met at the Mintex. I was mortified, had had my eye on it for ages.
Fantastic piece of video journalism, better than some telly programs ! - a great mix of original live action, factual interview and historic footage, superbly edited with the funk soundtrack - well done !
Thank U for this beautiful and riviting video about this man and his passion, slash LOVE, of one fasset of the automotive industry!! What a story! I had a passion for Triumph motorcycles, and my first British motorcycle was a great 1958 650cc vertical twin Triumph Tiger!!!! My love for British machines was born!!! It has never left me...nor I, left it!!!!! Thank U all so much! I enjoyed every second...!!!
I loved this video even though I have no special connection to Triumphs. The production shows the superb taste and passion for excellence that has been the hallmark of Project Binky. Getting all the archival footage must have been a significant challenge. As others have said, I also didn't want it to end. Thank you so much!
Fantastic! I could honestly watch 6 more hours of Neil showing us the stuff they build and vintage footage. Can't wait for the next Classic episode! Cheers from Chicago!
What a good storyteller and great video to convey the story. It’s also great to see someone who actually drives their collectables instead of letting them collect dust
This was done brilliant ! Such nice story telling, beautiful arranged, well toned narranting, well placed foottage and all the right music ! Impressive work ! A so much different thing of a kind than a Binky or Escarcot episode but a beauty by itself.
Thanks so much for this. These long form interviews are fantastic and the production values are awesome. Can’t wait for more of these great stories. Cheers.
It's awesome to see you have further immortalized someone that has done so much not only in the Triumph community but as a racer/builder. Beyond exceptional work.
Congratulations to BOM for continuing the channel by using these fabulous stories from around the sport in the U.K. Neil's story is fascinating and he told it so well. His story about the 7-speed box made me laugh because one my two big Healeys, the 1960, developed a problem with the electric overdrive that gave me the same results, overdrive in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. I was so pleased with the way it ran that I never bothered to "fix" it. That would have been around 1966 or '67. I kept them for a couple of years then sold them both to buy a 1967 Chev Camaro 350SS which after being gently breathed upon turned out to be quite a little monster of a "sleeper." Canada, y'know. I'd love to have those two Healeys back, a BN6 and a BN7. Ah well, wages of a properly mis-spent youth and all that. Thanks again Richard and Nik for the splendid content. Cheers from the colony.
Love the video - as many have said the passion of Mr. Revingtion comes through in every frame. One small quibble - The Shell 4000 rally was completely in Canada, not the States. My dad Jim Gunn organized all of these coast to coast rally's from 1961 to 1968 plus the 1971 BC Centennial.
You gentlemen are first rate. I just spent 28 minutes engrossed with a man with a raison d'etre. My father, a US Navy aviator, owned a TR-3 in the 1960s and my fondest memories are the sounds and smells of that tiny beastie. Thanks for the nostalgic adventure.
Met Neil in the early 1980's at a TR register annual event at Malvern. Put a smile on our faces with his wit & wry humour. Happy memories. We share his passion for TR's & great to here his story, long may it continue.
Amazing video and great stories. Thank you for letting the rest of us know about this chap and his business. The logic overdrive... wow. Love hearing about this kind of stuff.
....and after watching this....THIS is what is great about the automotive world. It allows enthusiasts to become MORE - in their particular niche of makes/models/competition types. Great stuff Neil ( and you to 2 rogues from BOM) from Queensland. Australia.
Can anyone imagine a Planning Officer acting with such compassion and discretion today? Speaking from the US, but I doubt things are any better in the UK. Peace and Love, ct
Brilliant video, fascinating story and lovely guy. It’s wonderful to hear how someone with ingenuity and passion can follow his dream and build a successful lifestyle business like Revington TR. Happy 70th birthday Neil!
A beautifully composed video. Better than most mainstream networks/channels. Well done. What an interesting subject! Mr Revington should be introduced to Harry Metcalfe's body fabricators, who are currently working on his Lancia Zagato. They would do his Zoom prototype proud.
Superb short 🎥Great editing and music 🎶 He is the real deal and so humble. Thanks for sharing. Always wanted one of the early TR’s, but growing up in Cleveland Ohio U.S., the tin worm destroyed anything in my price range and winters brutally cold, to operate one year round.
I'm so impressed that on one hand you can make a silly video about 2 blokes fixing a car in a garage, and then on the other hand make a proper documentary with beautiful photography showing a person's commitment to his passion and career. That guitar riff in the background was used about 20 times more than necessary though.
What a gem of a vid! Thanks guys. The shed lives on! Such a treat to see here and so well captured. More please. For the 'project' perhaps a tie-up with 'prestige-restoration' or simialar is in the offing? From thier work with Harry M's Zagato I think they should be Likely Lads. Do keep these coming though I'd like news on L' Escargot and Binky, too of course. Thanks
What a very interesting man, could listen to him all day - amazing cars and depth of knowledge - could this become a regular series ? there must be lotsof people like him - mechanic, developer, race driver and more - great job on the filming and editing - first class
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thankyou! For a short while after leaving school in '65 I worked for Ansteys in Maidstone, and then in '67 transferred to Ansteymiles who happened to be the Triumph Distributor for Kent. So this was when the TR5 was current. Wonderful cars, although my boss Reg Sinclair would not allow me to drive them out on the roads due to my inexperience... He did allow me to drive the 2 litre Vitesse, GT6, and 2.5 PI though.
I'm usually more interested in Triumphs with only two wheels so I know little about these but what an absolute boss of a guy! He's one of those who is incredibly talented yet you could chat the night away with him down the pub. I can only wonder at what stories this guy could tell about his life.
awesome, my dad had a 3a rapier, I did my apprenticeship at a triumph dealer and the boss's friend's brought in their old tr2 3 and 4s for restoration work. great video , thanks.
Brilliant little documentary about a very special and very modest guy and his business. Makes me want to go out and buy a TR? immediately. Keep the excellent videos coming.
Brilliant! A man who found what he was looking for as a young man. When his friend said "Who wants to buy my TR2?" Neil's life took a great turn, which served him well. 'There's a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune!" (Shakespeare). It happened to me as well, going from vintage car restorer to violin maker in 1992.
This episode just kept getting better and better! I had to watch it more than once!! Here's a fellow that really enhanced the Sports Car World!!! I'd say he is "Driven" by the hobby... Well Done!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
A great story, well told by an expert on the subject! I owned two TRs, first a TR3A in about 1972, then later about '74 at TR4A. They were both far from new and needed some work but they had the great attraction of being cheap trade deals when I bought them, but once fettled ran like a dream! One drive that is memorable to this day is a returning to Sunderland after watching a stage of the RAC Rally through Kielder Forest, Northumberland, at night with the TR3A running and performing beautifully. I really sent it along the quiet, twisty country roads and got well "into the zone" where I could do no wrong or make any mistake. A drive to remember!
I was so disappointed this wasn't a Binky or the transportation truck vid at first and then I got interested in his fascinating story. Thanks, and please do another vid once he's finished his project?
Me too. It's like watching a great television show that ends abruptly.
The S Cargo.
Finished his project? What channel do you think you are watching?
@@jonatanrullman Binky would never be finished, they'll always be one more job. 🛠🔧🗜

What a captivating video. Love the way Neil tells a story, I was sorry to see it end. 😟
This episode was filled with emotion. This chap is an incredibly visceral character. His partner helped him recognize his passion and pushed him to pursue his dreams. This is was a very inspiring story. It all begins with a man in a shed…
And a loving wife that allows the man to be in the shed
He was very lucky to meet that lady.

Same.

Literally...the very same reaction! 😂 The last time I had this sense of anticipation was waiting for santa!
Just brilliant thank you a world without people doing things in sheds wouldn't be the world we know today

Great job Richard. What a great story to tell. Absolutely fascinating.
We’ll done Richard & Ben!
Thoroughly entertaining
What a lovely personal history story of TR motoring, thank you so much!
What a interesting man, I could listen to his stories all night! Once again a brilliant variation of subject for the BOM channel, well done guys!!!
Superb. I love the way it's just his story. No interruptions.
What a ripper bloke! Full credit for everything he’s done with, and for, Triumphs.
A very good video documenting a man and his passion for Triumph TR's. His collection looks beautiful and it's great that some get driven.
I "only" have a lowly 1976 Spitfire but the Triumph roadsters are so endearing. Listening to this gentleman's tail of his lifelong passion is inspiring.
Tale
I love the lines of the spitfire.

I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Everything about it was excellent. Thank you to every one concerned.
This is a wonderful watch, thank you.
Speaking of Jimmy McRae. My dad gave him his last Rolo when they met at the Mintex. I was mortified, had had my eye on it for ages.
Ben- your best work! A wonderful story, wonderfully told...
Thank you
Absolutely loved that. Nice to get insight into how these vital businesses came about. Without them, so many lovely cars wouldn't be around.

Well done! What an amazing story to still have his first car all these years later.
Good video. A company that keep s triumphs going. I had a TR 3A & Tr4A in the 1960s &1970s.. Loved them.
Of all the cars I’ve owned and driven over the past 50+ years, if I could have one back again it would be my TR3 - thanks for this trip!

Thanks. My Mom had a small grill 57' TR3. Brings back a lot of memories growing up in that car..
That was awesome. More of these rarely or untold stories would be great.
Another FANTASTIC story. Thanks for sharing, guys!
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your story Mr. Revington.
Excellent documentation! Thanks.
Great video. As good a documentary on a car enthusiast, driver, shop owner, and TR fanatic as you could ever want. Thank you gentlemen!

What a joy to hear Malta' s name in this feature. Looking forward to see you again in the Mdina Gran Prix race.

I'm usually more interested in Triumphs with only two wheels so I know little about these but what an absolute boss of a guy!
He's one of those who is incredibly talented yet you could chat the night away with him down the pub.
I can only wonder at what stories this guy could tell about his life.
Great film, really enjoyed listening to him speak!
awesome, my dad had a 3a rapier, I did my apprenticeship at a triumph dealer and the boss's friend's brought in their old tr2 3 and 4s for restoration work. great video , thanks.
What an excellent piece of video. I have always lusted for a tr5.

Glad you enjoyed it!
A great story, well told by an expert on the subject! I owned two TRs, first a TR3A in about 1972, then later about '74 at TR4A. They were both far from new and needed some work but they had the great attraction of being cheap trade deals when I bought them, but once fettled ran like a dream! One drive that is memorable to this day is a returning to Sunderland after watching a stage of the RAC Rally through Kielder Forest, Northumberland, at night with the TR3A running and performing beautifully. I really sent it along the quiet, twisty country roads and got well "into the zone" where I could do no wrong or make any mistake. A drive to remember!
Well worth the price of admission, sensational. Thanks.
