Ivan cracks me up! 😂 what an inspiration he is! Hats off to you sir.
Fantastic job by you boys! Ivan reminds me of the guys I served my apprenticeship under! Back in the early 70s great times!.Keep up the good work!.❤️👍
"It might straighten a bit of the Bugatti people to do it properly"
Ivan - in modern youth parlance, I believe that is known as a "Sick Burn"
Regarding Sick Burn, thank you for the education. Eevblog doesn't come out with that one regularly (if at all). I hope that Ivan never comes a gutsa whilst hooning around the country lanes.
This is quickly becoming my favourite channel on YT.
Me too
Second that!
Most definitely!
I know it's pretty cool!
Ivan's enthusiasm is totally infectious!
2 Ivan's Shed videos in 3 days - what a treat
Similar to the great Sammy Millar!
Sitting down to a pint or two while Ivan regaled us with stories would be pure heaven.
All those stories of how he fix all kind of problems in cars, man I can hear that all day long
Ivan your a booming star...
Your UA-cam channel is the best, Sir👍
Be well.🙏
This channel is absolutely compelling viewing for me now; Ivan creases me up and whilst all the skill and years of experience tend to get played down heavily I have absolutely no doubt there is brilliance abound. I'd happily shell out good money to go and muck about with the boys on an 'experience' day
The magic moment that l have been waiting for...
What an effortless tick over .
What a project...
And now what ...put into an A30...👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bloody marvellous Ivan and team, keep these wonderful videos coming, £800 for the washer bottle ! you know it doesn't seem 2 minutes since the scrappers were saturated with BMC and BL cars, back in the days when you had to PAY to scrap 'em !!
The camerawork and editing perfectly captures the spirit and character of this crazed inventor at work
You mean the Demented Racoon! 😂
Well done, Ivan, old friend. Us oldies have still got it!
Wow, your generation is the best generation for how you tackle engineering. I really love what you have done, and just how easy you make it look. If i only had 10% of your skills i would be a happy man. Thank you Ivan for sharing your creation, and for hopefully inspiring a new generation. You sir are a real hero.
Ivan you nearly made me spit me beer out 🍺 "cut it out of an old Bugatti" and doi doi doi doi 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Yeh was going to say same. Good theatre
Good to see the old "Birmingham screwdriver" (hammer) coming into play.
On another YT channel here in the States (Vice Grip Garage), this would be known as something like the "fuel make-it-happener rebuilder 6000"!
Yes persuades sticking float needles and reluctant starter solenoids etc"ha ha!
Back in 1971 a friend of mine, a street rod builder removed the center four cylinders from a small block 327 Chevy V8 making it a 163 cubic inch V4. I was installed in a narrowed and shortened Model T Bucket. Even the wheels were downsized. It was shown at the 1971 Oakland Roadster Show winning a 1st. Prize 🏆.
Great to see a old school mechanical engineer at play who lives and breathes it .Reminds me of a old boy my father had living on the farm as his pet mechanical engineer for free .we converted a old grain silo in to a house and garage for him and had 1 acre of land and was virtually self sufficient .He allways got us going when we invariably bent and broke things on the harvest.He carried all his tools in a side car on his AJS motorbike .Poor old boy had shell shock from the war and would occasionally have a funny turn.Today we would call it PTSD.
I love your videos. It's such a pleasure to see old school precision craftsmanship.😊
Many forget the infrastructure millions of small shops provide with petroleum vehicle. EV has long way to go. Knowledge like this doesn't come easy; years of hard work.
There's always that moment of elation when an engine starts up for the first time :)
Ivan is 'the man'!
A true car crazy bloke but equally important he's such an optimist and joy to watch and listen to. But he really knows his stuff when wirkung on the mechanics of any car.
Great show and well worth watching.
This is without doubt my favourite go to channel it reminds me very much of my youth working with a mechanical engineer 👍👨🏻🏭
Brilliant stuff as always Ivan, put the naysayers to bed! If you don't know how to do it, make a start, make a few f ups, learn on the way. And the man who never made a mistake never made anything!
Like a new baby's first cry the first start always raises a smile.
Part 5......How to have way too much fun!!! Excellent, thanks.
This project has been the most enjoyable thing I've watched in ages. It has inspired me to get to the bottom of the problems with my car. Thanks chaps, keep it coming.
You never gets too old to make wroom wroom noises!
What an amazing project! Genius back street mechanicing, meant in the best possible way. 👍
Just marvellous , being an old guy with my own small shed this is the real world, NOT managed reality.
The eccentric engineer.. making Britain great since for ever
Nice to see you have the 'The Rowley Special'; built on shortened 14-40 chassis and front and rear axles; OD engine rebuilt to 30-98 specification.
Built years ago by John Rowley & 'considerably improved' in recent years
Fantastic result. Bit concerned at the stuck oil pressure ? In making the crankshaft were the oil drillings maintained to all the journals and crankpins ? If you put on a heavy gauge steel stackpipe and a big silencer plus an air cleaner it would make it all so much quieter and the engine would sound so much smoother and refined - maybe a polished copper stackpipe , plus a flexible to go out of the window . But a totally brilliant piece of work it all also looks magnificent now . This is a really significant piece in the BMC story of the 1950s as such it really ought to go on display in Gaydon with the history of the British motor industry . Much more please .
I love to see the great Bugatti mechanic Ivan Dutton playing with a project engine just like the rest of us humble shed dwellers! Love it.
Well done boys, the feeling of joy after a successful start on an engine that has been hand made, is indescribable, it's almost as if it lives and breaths like we do. Great work, and a great little series too. Thanks and best wishes.
I'm a fan. What a marvelous world we are living in!
Ivan : You have entirely toooo many cool toys !!!!!! Wish I lived in the UK lots of interesting things there. John from Arizona USA .
That engine is a credit to the superb engineering skills that went into it. You lot took a lump of curious scrap iron and made it run again, excellent.
Well done boys, great to see it restored and running! Regards from Australia.
Never knew an engine to tick over so slow ,well done Ivan 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😜👍
I bit like those old stationary gas engines seen at out door shows before the Chinese virus!
I think that will be perfect for Ivan's, Mobility scooter !
Thanks for sharing this project, when it started up it brought a big smile to my face, it's been well worthwile watching.
5:19 What a nice sight. So rewarding emptying a box full of odd treasures and finding one strange piece that fits (or can be modified to fit) whatever you are trying to build or repair.
Hats in the air and three hearty cheers for the Demented Racoon Crew - huzzah , huzzah , huzzah.
Well done , great stuff , Guys .
Old two pot sprang into life , with a drop of petrol a cough & a splutter and went from strength to strength to purr like a contented big cat.........all be it just a kitten .
Keep it up - Luv the show .
I just saw a picture of your Alvis. That is one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
This is highly important addictive viewing and the dynamic is only improved by the seemingly two generation gap to the intrepid cameraman / editor.
FANTASTIC... best NO BULLSHIT show on UA-cam 👍...
I give my eye teeth to stay next door to you... And work for nothing.
Another really enjoyable video, I'm a little younger than you, not much, but I wish I had your enthusiasm still.
I've been in engineering most of my working life, not cars though.
In my youth I worked with an old chap (very likely younger than I am now) who served his apprenticeship with Alfa Romeo. He was the most practical and knowledgeable bloke I've ever worked with. He was never put off taking on a job, even if the machines we had were worn out or seemingly not the right one.
My approach to cars was much the same, there's always a way.
you never see Jean-Luc Picard & Ivan in the same room together
One word .....BRILLIANT !
You could stitch some tube and spare parts together to make a sort of British micro car. I quite like the idea of building a tiny little lightweight car around this odd engine. Something like the truly tiny two seat convertibles sold in the 1950s and early 1960s. Anyhow congratulations on your efforts to get this unique motor running. This has been fascinating and a really enjoyable adventure.
Well done fellas, really good to see this little engine up and running. Another piece of motoring history saved.
so happy it's turned out well! looking forward to all the things in the works and more laughs from Ivan
ivan brill no other word . i have a 1360 midget lump in my 1959 austin a40 farina with a cam ect gos like the clappers but this is great . keep up the great work bud .
👍sure hope you live to finish all your projects
The engine note reminds me of a 2 cylinder Dorman engine in a small petrol locomotive. 1939 made but pre-WW1 design with fixed cylinder head. Despite no flexible engine mountings it did not vibrate unduly so am not surprised about your results with something much more modern. Great job by you.
Looking forward to seeing the Salmsons again and intrigued by the Lancia.
I would have loved to see these guys (especially Ivan) do 'Scrapheap Challenge'. I don't think there is anything they couldn't do with a pile of scrap parts and some tools. Hitting the carb with a hammer was absolute gold.
Quite wonderful! Well done to you all for initially having the curiosity for wanting to know, and then the enthusiasm and joy of finding out. Along the way you have also discovered an engine design that will tick over at incredibly low revs. Would make a great engine for a small motor boat I think...Thank you for sharing this great pleasure with us! 👍😊🇬🇧
Ivan is a legend.
It's all a bit 'wibbly wobbly' - nice job boys
I imagine that the engine came from the scrapyard in Jackdaw lane, off the Iffley road, Oxford, They often had lots of BL / Morris bits from the Cowley works. Well done for what you have done so far. Cheers
Fantastic Ivan, looking forward to the next film
Love Ivan’s enthusiasm
This is great!
Prototype engine made by hand and runs.
Now need to put in car.
Greeting from Russia.. ❤️
Incredible job lads. What an achievement. Real engineering ! You managed to build an engine, virtually from scratch, in a few weeks. One month on and I'm still trying to put a Morris Minor gearbox back together ! Inspiring stuff. Really enjoy your programmes.
Love the attitude of these Chaps and all the Vid's on this build. I love that set up table. I miss it all, my Machine Shop, the sound of the Mig.... only thing bothering me through all the vid's was the Blue Antique car being so close. Thanks Guy's and of course, I just had to subscribe. I found this Video on Hemmings, of course.
Absolutely wonderful. Ivan and John, stop being so modest you are inspirational. You are doing today the sort of engineering work done in British companies 50+ years ago. People like Percy Riley would take their hats off to you. I certainly do. Keep up the splendid videos. Thanks Martin.
Congratulations Ivan and the team 👍👌
Everyone liked that 😀brilliant engineering 👍
Sirs, you are absolutely Brilliant in all ways there is. Hat`s of for you 👍🏻
ANOTHER SERIOUS PRIVILEDGE TO HAVE WITNESSED THIS
Well done Ivan on getting it running. we have been promoting and following your channel and this Mini Engine build... big thumbs up from us.
Always a great feeling when a new baby comes to life. What a great project!!! Congratulations!!!
Brilliant, love Ivan’s projects, always different, always interesting.
Thanks for all your videos. I used to be a vintage car restorer. It's like worker's playtime!
Congratulations to Ivan and John on building and putting the engine running great to have a good engineering brain and a lifetime of knowledge and experience and sharing it with us all , thank you looking forward to the next project take care
Fantastic to see proper engineering. Bringing an old engine back from the dead with just a crank case and head, to a working machine again.
Nice work.
I never doubted you for a second!
I've watched all of the episodes that deal with the 2 cyl. Mini engine, and I cannot determine the displacement. Would you please tell us again for the slower of us? Many thanks, and this is my favorite Utube channel. I look forward to anything you do.
The first fire of an engine one of the best feelings, especially with those bespoke part's, Very Nice Work
This young old fellow is having the greatest hobby in his life. I wish , Iam in his shoes. What a great load of fun. I am jealous.
Finally the engine is running I can give you credit for the nicest channel on UA-cam always a good laugh and joy when you "play".
When I get old... When I get really old... Ivan you make me smile, you are da geezer! That was a very impressive first start up, well done boys.
My mate had a four cylinder Mini in 1978 that sounded just like that (and all he had to do was blow a head gasket).😎
Fantastic, thanks, and I hope you live a million years, do all your stuff, and make videos of it all. I bugger about with old cars myself, a mere 57 year old, you are inspiration.
All 5 episodes have been great.... Thank you . Fully subscribed
With that kind of great attitude and love for things mechanical you have Ivan, may you live many more years, thanks for sharing this great project with the world.
Ivan is a god damned national treasure.
Just love watching these guys. Oh to spend a day in the shed with them getting access to all that experience and knowledge...
I love Ivan’s engine impressions 😄
Clever boys, but you knew that. well done.
Ivan cracks me up. I wish he was my father or grandfather.
That twin sounds great! That's going to be popular with Mini guys, and motorheads everywhere. Great job guys!
Fantastic! It does sound like a v twin, the slow tick tickover is indicative of a good basic balance, can't wait for the next instalment!
this is the second video I saw on this motor, am very impressed that how it ran so nicely. you guys do nice work, ill be enjoying your info on all this.
Love the beswick flying ducks
Nice work, but this two-cylinder engine reminded me of the ford that had (or still has) a 4-cylinder v-shaped engine, certainly another little marvel of British engineering. In fact, my feelings for the passing of your monarch. Brazilian congratulations to all of you Britons who preserve their machines and their rich history.
Well done to you all 👍 its great to see old fashoned tinkering.
Keep the videos coming,
Yeeeeeees, another fine video. Tell em like it is Ivan ...Bugatti turned Ali ! Done by hand not machine.
Plaudits to you all...fave channel on you tube.
Need Story time with Ivan....whole catalogue of merriment and mirth to be uncovered....
Thank you! The finish on the “skateboard” on my Land Rover’s console has cracked and the wood is stained. I was thinking of an alternative and after seeing this realized I may just have a piece of ally around and I do have a drill press. Good enough for you or Bugatti is better than it probably deserves.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series! Not only does it run, it seems quite happy doing it. Splendid.
Ivan is THE man!! The enthusiasm and energy of this genius is unreal!! Brilliant videos!! Best channel on UA-cam!!
Well done!!
Congratulations!
