I could listen to Ivan all day so much knowledge and so much experience , it really is a work of art and your ability to look at a picture and make a re creation is stunning , thank you Suzy for filming and editing
I totally agree. At one point I saw Suzie's face in the mirror as she patiently listened and watched this fascinating discussion. I simply love this woman and would love to meet her in person. I would like to see a video simply about her and her automobiles. I was fascinated to hear that the spindles in the front suspension were from a Bentley. Yesterday, I watched a video about the Bentley racing machines -- they were enormous and must have weighed much more than this vehicle so they are no doubt more than sufficient to turn this special. Nothing you produce is boring,, Ivan. Every video is simply fascinating.
You should not worry about the people being disinterested in your video's Ivan, you have the most interesting channel on UA-cam, obviously you will not appeal to the masses, but that is the point, you do appeal to those who have a sense of the value of interesting things, exclusive people I suppose, so keep putting out these gems for the enjoyment, and enlightenments of those people in the world that are special. And stay safe! Chris B.
Hear hear! I totally agree with you. I think Ivan is one of the most interesting and knowledgeable people on UA-cam. I could watch and listen to him for hours at a time. And thank you Suzie for your videoing and editing.
I recall the WWII American M25 (Dragon Wagon) tank transporters mostly ran a 17.9 litre, 6 cylinder Hall-Scott petrol engine. The tractor got its nickname because they used to spit flames out of the exhaust. Apparently they did 2 gallons per mile.
You are a man after my own heart. I love going through the garage/house and pulling bits into my projects that work well and nobody would know the difference. I'm just a youngster compared to your knowledge, but I have collected enough bits over 50 years of "mucking about" that I can make useful again.
People will be fascinated in whatever you send us a video of. It's a testament of your skill experience and ingenuity. An inspirational experience. Good work on the camera Susie. 👍
Wonderful tour around your H&S Ivan, no doubt "old" John and your (young) self are wonderfull talented chaps. Suzie and Ivan, you kids gadding about living the life are a great inspirational team.
Thanks for this which is _not_ boring! Hall-Scott is a forgotten marque these days but before and after WWII they made some of the most powerful and reliable truck and speedboat engines (all petrol) anywhere, and one of their 400-series sixes would make a potential power unit for a Brooklands special, they had 300 hp standard, I'm pretty certain more - much more - could be extracted out of one...
I supplied Ivan with the lovely road springs a few years ago.They came from someone clearing out a widow's garage. I think her husband was associated with veteran cars. At the 2024 Beaulieu I reminded Ivan that the springs came from me and he was so pleased that we took a picture together.
Best thing I've watched in a long time. My parts pile is getting big enough to start putting together, if it turns out half as great as Ivan's H&S, I'll be a happy guy I can see I need to get some Tiger Seal before I get started
Thank you for this. Please record everything Ivan feels like saying. Never delete any of it. I'd watch Ivan talk 8 hours a day, given a chance. The field engineering expertise that he has accumulated over the years is spectacular to witness.
Hi Ivan and Suzi,It's me ,the guy who usad live on the other end of the Greenford road. That was the most boring UA-cam video I have ever seen,it is also the best. It's something l have always wanted to do myself, but l now live in Kenya.Thanks for the 40 minutes of dream time.
Ivan my hero! So very pleasant to watch. We have so much in common. Except your much more experienced than I. Verry inspiring! I watch you and I'm recharged and ready to head to the workshop. Thanks to you and we can't forget John for what you do. Some days I don't get much done because I can't stop watching you guys. Thanks and the best of health to all of you.
Fantastic video Ivan!!! Everything you do is so interesting!!! I am building a Morgan/MG special. I am building a 1928 Morgan Aero with an experimental opposed twin aircraft engine as the power plant. This is mated to an MG 4 speed transmission with a two piece hand cast aluminum adapter. Then the gearbox is connected to an MG differential with sweet wire wheels . Te frame is wood over steel with aircraft fabric stretched over and painted with a plasticizer dope for rigidity. I will be starting a YT channel when I get the machine shop in place when itt gets warmer.
As an aircraft engine, they were normally mounted with the cylinders at the bottom. The consequence of this was that when the engine was left for any period if there was the slightest chance of oil congregating in the combustion chambers the propeller would have to be used to pull the engine through all the compression strokes to ensure that the engine would not "hydraulic". My guess is that the decomprssion arrangement would enable this to be easier.
Another fantastic video Ivan. Thanks for taking the trouble. You mentioned Jon Champ Ivan, I bought a 1939 Simca 5 a few years ago from him for my wife. I went down to his place in the south and he explained the story about the swap, a Bugatti for a house, most amusing. All the best from North West France.
This video was a great watch because you did a heck of a job explaining to us all the things you did to make the car what it is. You guys are the best.
Top episode, Ivan. I'd like to see you recommission the Wall of Death machine and release your inner biker once more. Only out in the paddock, I'll take your word for the wall stuff.
Exceptional engineering great forethought and insight as to how things should work nothing left to chance in fact everything works to perfection and looks like its over a hundred years old thank you both for a fascinating video loved every minute of it so many great ideas Thank you.
Hi Ivan and susie I just love your videos never boring this information is gold the steering reminds me of a Hotchciss am2 like you Ivan I’m a old timer but would love to own or build a special however I would be on lower budget kind regards to John who is a great engineer he contributes so much to these projects 😀👍🧢
I wish it WAS obvious every time Ivan says "obviously". Absolutely love these bit-by-bit episodes. Seems there's an interesting story attached to each bit.
Another great job and the camera lady top job😊 Very very enjoyable. If I had a tenth of your skill I'd be happy So good hearing about how you came across the items and your vision to give them the patina
Again, the videos where Ivan talks the whole way through are by far my favorite. This channel is one of the best hidden gems on you tube.
I could listen to Ivan all day so much knowledge and so much experience , it really is a work of art and your ability to look at a picture and make a re creation is stunning , thank you Suzy for filming and editing
Nothing you do Ivan, is boring for a young fella like me. You're my new HERO ...😊
He's Awsome a bro. I love his can fo attitude. Very Kiwi like. Cheers from Cambridge
@@stevelee5724 I've just had The Lazy Car Dealer stay with me. It was great fun showing Alan around NZ SI....
Ivan, you make the best "boring" videos ever! What a treasure you are!

To me Ivan this sort of video is what your channel is all about. Enjoyed it greatly
Working on vintage cars in such a fantastic workshop, with the lovely Suzie for company, could never be boring.
Best wishes, Dean.

Thank you for being Ivan, Ivan.
gary in Japan
Ivan I cannot begin to adequately tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated this video.
Ivan, you’re an inspiration!

I like the super high horsepower, and the old stuff as well.
Thank you YT algorithm, finally a great suggestion, new sub.

No way is anything that you do boring Ivan….awe inspiring, never boring…..
Excellent video Ivan, very interesting

A master class in building an old vintage racer. Thanks Ivan never dull being in your company.
I dont even own an automobile but never miss one of your videos.
Everything is made from lumps of different materials. Cool
I sure found the video very interesting, thanks a lot
This is one of the best episodes yet. I could listen to Ivan talk about the bits & bobs of a their race cars for hours. Love it! Respect from Texas
Great when Suzy interacts, with Ivan , beats just talking to a dead camera 👏👏👏
Agreed! Asks all the questions that occur to the viewer!
Riveting stuff as always, takes me back to my youth.
Y’all are mechanical geniuses Ivan! Thanks to you all for taking the time to video everything and share it with all your fans!🙂
Our pleasure!
Best thing I've watched in a long time. My parts pile is getting big enough to start putting together, if it turns out half as great as Ivan's H&S, I'll be a happy guy
I can see I need to get some Tiger Seal before I get started
I really enjoyed the video. So very informative.
That's many years of hands on experience wonderful.
How can it be boring you are just a genius you make things so interesting you just know everything!
Brilliant again Ivan. Cheers from New Zealand
Thank you for this. Please record everything Ivan feels like saying. Never delete any of it. I'd watch Ivan talk 8 hours a day, given a chance. The field engineering expertise that he has accumulated over the years is spectacular to witness.
I learned several useful things listening to this video. Thanks Ivan! And Suzy!
Great video of the Peugeot blue racer fantastic racer I real enjoy to hear how it was build thank you for showing .
Yes very interesting thanks for sharing 😮
Thank you for sharing your build.
I could watch and listen to this all day. Cheers from a different shed
Another superb vid Ivan and Susie. Interesting and informative but certainly not boring.

Ivan you I’m sure are some kinda mechanical super hero, your having too much fun, you need to live for another 100 years, good on you pal 👴🏻👍
Lovely Ivan 😎
This is exactly what I expect from Shed Racing. Love it.
This is the type video that really interest me. Thanks!
Proper hot rod technology - there I've said it. PS love every minute of your videos
Nothing boring in this vid. Cheers Ivan.

Theres a story behind every part truely a work of art
My grandfather would have loved this car. He used to fly for Curtiss in Garden City NY 100 years ago. He would be 116 if he were still alive.
Incredible. The patina on that thing is amazing! Beautiful work!
Creative Old Bodger! I Love It
I'm very interested Ivan, this car is awesome and your skills are incredible.
Loving these films Mr Ivan, great to hear the development of your project 😊

absolutely fabulous ivan what a true builder you lads really are 👏

Top episode, Ivan. I'd like to see you recommission the Wall of Death machine and release your inner biker once more. Only out in the paddock, I'll take your word for the wall stuff.
I love that steering arm adaptation!
Keep up the good work!
JIM 🥰
Absolutely fascinating! Thanks
This is great stuff Ivan.
Great series! Thank you…
