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.
At this point i'm assuming something went very wrong, perhaps the flexi-shaft again, and this has caused a complete re-design of many components. Or perhaps you both retired, either way, where the f**k are you?
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.
What has happened to BOM? Nothing on YT for 8 months now. Has something happened? So many projects left up in the air, especially Binky, so close to completion.
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.
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…
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).
First was a bit "underwelmed": no binky, no S Cargot - but suddenly got into the story, as it unfolds, as Neil tells it. Watch for lensflares, they can be distracting and hey, why not 4K-format for this, could be nice and would do the tellers and the gems justice :). thx.
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!
Thanks for this upload... but seriously... you CAN'T be done with Binky... We want to see you work out the kinks and then we want a good idea/review of the finished product.
Richard, see if you can put Neil in touch with Harry Metcalfe and book that Zoom in where he has had his Zagato. They will sort the body work out no probs. Great production on the video.
Blows my mind that this channel collects >$100k/year producing as little as it does. It seems like over 11 months, someone should be able to turn out a drivable car; starting with what was shown on the trailer. Guess people get fat & happy.
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 "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.
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.
I feel sorry for the 3778 people who still pay to watch this channel. If all their patrons chose their lowest fee of £2 that means on top of any UA-cam Revenue, they are getting a min £7500+ (minus patron fees) a month... they haven't made any what I would call actual content (you cant call apology videos or whatver content) for a year that means they have made at least £80-£100k from their patrons alone... its disgusting... absolutely disgusting.. they clearly dont give a toss about their viewers they are just sitting around seeing how long they can continue to get away with ripping off their loyal fans... you wouldnt pay for a Streaming service if they didnt update their content would you. This is simply disgusting..
Why bother to make vids when you can live perfectly well on other peoples Direct Debits. I also note the forum is giving of a bit of a bad smell. If it's consistency your after then look up Abom79.
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.
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.
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.
I bought an enormous amount of performance parts from TR Revington spares! The person I always spoke with was named Martin. This is going back into the 1980s or 1990s I forgot which. But in any event, the parts made my TR six very special indeed, and I miss it.
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.
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
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 !
We used to Cruise around LA in a Yellow TR2 with the fold down windshield wearing WWII Bomber Jackets fighter leather skull cap a aviator goggles topped off with a long white silk scarf for dramatic effect. This was 1969.
Glad to see triumphs are still more than appreciated, had my 62, spitfire since I was 17 too, Raced it and rallied it, now almost back on the road. Was going to ask the guys at bad obsession to help me do the last bits, but haven't yet, as didnt want to detract from Binky. :) Lovely to see, thanks for doing this video. Check out my channel for a bit of gratuitous car and subaru and snow and ice lake driving vids.
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.
Wow, I didn't watch this originally as it wasn't Binky or the lorry. Now I am amazed how interesting this is especially as I also live in one of the zoy's and worked at the helicopter factories.
Is project Binky never to be heard from again? Please tell me that all that hard work wasn't done for a car that was intended to be a show queen. My continued subscription may depend on the answer.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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. 🛠🔧🗜
@@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.
What a captivating video. Love the way Neil tells a story, I was sorry to see it end. 😟
Just brilliant thank you a world without people doing things in sheds wouldn't be the world we know today
At this point i'm assuming something went very wrong, perhaps the flexi-shaft again, and this has caused a complete re-design of many components. Or perhaps you both retired, either way, where the f**k are you?
Saw Bad Obsession Motorsport popup and got all excited. But alas no binky
same =(
Same.
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.
Dito
Literally...the very same reaction! 😂 The last time I had this sense of anticipation was waiting for santa!

Thoroughly entertaining
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.
""we just turned up to have a sprint",, they wernt to happy with that", quality stuff. made me proper chuckle.
Too
@@troo_story rilly?
Great job Richard. What a great story to tell. Absolutely fascinating.
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.
13:04 BOM don't get any ideas, we hope you guys finish Binky (and maybe Escargo) in under 40+ years. 😉

Big fan of Binky. Loved this video too. Great production.....please keep them coming....👌👍

What is this crap? Cancelled patreon , binky is finished and travelling around car shows for nearly a year.
Damn you guys have beaten the pros at this, that was BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

Tale
I love the lines of the spitfire.
Ben- your best work! A wonderful story, wonderfully told...
Thank you
How is the binky transporter van coming along?
Did you give up on the bus?
I’m thinking they’ve given up on the mini.
Wheres BINKY????
thinking the same.need a new episode for Christmas
At a show... probably.
When is the next Vid ? You’ve been really quiet for too long !
Brilliant story and so well narrated, loved it 👍
Binky, escargot?? they still a thing🤷♂️ even a youtube short on whats going on pleae
So you two blokes okay over there? Few months now without an upload at all
Absolutely knocked it out of the park, well done chaps.
Guys, you guys, hi! So how is it with the Escargot, how's Binky doing? Any news already? 😐
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.

Ooo, oooo, who's this guy? ( Direction, filming and Editing: Ben James )
WTH. 4 Months and no BInky. UnSub.....
These guys moved on and didn't bother to tell us...
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 BOM chaps!!! Enjoyed every minute...:-)
Thoroughly engrossing content, what a great a humble guy he is! He sure can pedal a car too!
Thank you for this.
I just spent the last 30 minutes with the biggest smile on my face. It hurts now, but totally worth it.
In case anyone hasn't seen it, here's an update on the projects: ua-cam.com/video/TlZNR4dRHdo/v-deo.html
WTF is going on?
Love the video - as many have said the passion of Mr. Revingtion comes through in every frame.

I can see why there haven't been any Binky videos for a while if you're producing full blown motoring documentarys now. Quality tackle!
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 !
We used to Cruise around LA in a Yellow TR2 with the fold down windshield wearing WWII Bomber Jackets fighter leather skull cap a aviator goggles topped off with a long white silk scarf for dramatic effect. This was 1969.
Good video. A company that keep s triumphs going. I had a TR 3A & Tr4A in the 1960s &1970s.. Loved them.
What a great interview, and Neil Revington is a very interesting man for all of ua Triumph owners and enthusiast. Fantastic job, Bob
You guys have some of the best produced content on here, really loving the videos chaps!
How's the Cargo coming along? :)

Where have you guys been? I'm missing Project Binky and everything else 😢😢😢😢
So Neil made the whole in Denham's fence that I was able to drive through without damage......
Thanks Neil ;-)
"SCO 110B" and interesting number to read in your rear-view mirror... Excellent video, thanks!

Absolutely superb i loved every minute of this and how great it is the original tr2 he bought he still owns and enjoys.
Not Binky or Escargot. Sorry, not interested.
What a ripper bloke! Full credit for everything he’s done with, and for, Triumphs.
Deceased channel... RIP decency and honesty.

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.
Engineers having an affordable place to live while they do an apprenticeship, seems like a good idea.
whats going on with project Binky?
I don’t think any of us ever expected Binky to be a great handling car. It is an engineering marvel, but in the end, it’s a ridiculous machine.😐
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,

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
8 months since last binky episode.. Finished and bugger that youtube thing... or?
this guy will probably have TR 260 restored before Binky done, lol
1:33 that number plate would spell something funny in the rear view mirror :)
it brings a smile to peoples faces:)
That's a very nice video. Very fascinating, just like the GT40 one.👍
Where's Binky? Or even Escargot? Surely not more brackets?
I can't believe the last episode of binky was 8 months ago, and escargot was 2 years ago!!
Well done the producers. Excellent content. Elderly edge of your seat stuff. Need a stiff Wincarnis after this.
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.
Thank you BOM. I always find the history of owners cars genre very interesting and how it came to be. How's Binky? Are we complete?
Episodes such as this takes the sting out of missing my Binky fix, but this will do, quite nicely.
What a lovely personal history story of TR motoring, thank you so much!
Another great video! Takes me back to when I was lucky enough to drive my dad's TR6. The straight 6 pulling in third to third overdrive! Love it!
Bloody 'ell getting a bit to professional for my liking, excellent just excellent.
A Triumph in more ways than one. Brilliant.
Come on guys time to finish Binky!
i noticed in the credits, that a haberdasher was missing. Was a haberdasher not in the budget?
either way 10/10
Enjoyed the episode but I do miss Binky Episodes. It feels like a long time since I got the funk out.
That was awesome. More of these rarely or untold stories would be great.
So Binki is done, when are you picking back up on the Escargot?
A human and automotive love story. My eyes are itching, must be the hayfever 💚
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.
I live down near there and presume when I see a TR about on the roads that they are either going to or coming from them.
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.
