What a gem. No false drama, headbanging music or people getting ripped off. Just a talented, engaging guy sharing a love of cars in the best way I've ever seen. Your time is surely coming!
Keeping it real is the most important thing to me Nick, would love to be able to fund it all myself and stay independent but so far so good. Thank a mill!
Why hasn't this been snapped up and put on tv somewhere? It's a far better show than many others I've seen - it should be unleashed on the masses. Keep up the great work, the stop motion is truly brilliant and something no one else has done. :)
I am a professional Auto Restorer from Canada. I am truly entertained by these videos. I celebrate the true auto enthusiast and commend the efforts of this guy. No chequebook cool here.
I love finding gems like this channel before everyone else realises what they are missing. I know your time is coming, just stick at it. Content is absolute quality, edititing is slick and the stop motion is a nice touch. I have subscribed
Hi T4 Tips & Guides. Hearing stuff like this really makes a difference and keeps the motivation going. It's all for the love of it, you know the story. I'm heading over to give you a sub and I'll pass your channel onto any VAG pals, maybe you could do the same for me with your car buddies. Thanks again! George
Great chat with Graham and interesting for me because I worked for the company that helped Chapman with the glassfibre work and moved up to East Anglia with him from London. They were based in Huntingdon and the mould yard was littered with original Lotus tooling along with Porsche and just about every other race car from the 60's and early 70's.
I left in 1984 and it was still there. Its gone through a few owner changes since then and checking on google maps the yard has gone, still a composites company, Paxford. Moulds probably returned to original owners or someone prepared to do the spare parts work which the company used to do in a minor way. Up the road is Lola who moved up from London around the same time. Had many happy hours scanning the yard looking for tooling from which an owner or restoration company asked for a spare panel.
As a 83 Lotus Turbo Esprit owner I found this video wonderfully informative and bring a smile to your face enjoyable. The turbo did bring the lack of power issue to a think of the past. Thanx. Jenna
Really enjoying the series so far George, it's delivering more than I expected with the extra interviews and features. I may be slightly biased with a newly found love for Lotus though. I've watched your videos as a break from working on my own Elise S1. It's great to see other amateur mechanics like me get stuck in and enjoy working on their cars.
I've been after a S1 Elise for a very long time Andy, since '96 and it was whilst reading up on them that I first got turned onto the Esprit. There are only two more cars after the Elise that I want and I think I could be happy.Thanks for the kind words, the interviews and features with other cars/people are what makes it aren't they. I've no idea how I'm going to follow Graham Capel up!
i have to say, im up watching this at half past 7 in the morning, and something about this interview, and the work you are doing... i am gripped by such powerful emotion. i thought i was gonna cry! i am baffled why am i so moved, but all i can say is perhaps its because your work is empowering me to do my own. i have a 84 Fiero Indy edition that i am working on restomodding with the powerplant out of an 86 fiero, with a V6 and 5 speed manual. i actually came here from Ronnie Finger, as have several others. im doing all the work in my grandparents spare 2 car garage with only basic electric tools, and a pizza drivers budget. but i can do it. i know i can. thank you for you sharing your journey.
CAD - Cardboard Aided Design. I think I first heard this term from Bad Obsession Motorsports when they first started project Binky back in 2013 - although I imagine the phrase goes back a lot longer than that. The term just says it all, really - and it's so effective and cheap. :-)
Excellent content George, brilliantly shot, well presented and interesting subject matter. I picked up a link to your show from Pistonheads, so word is getting around. Fingers crossed the numbers go up!
Have to admit James I don't spend a lot of time on forums but I know Pistonheads is a huge community so it's exciting to know I'm on there. Thanks for the heads up! Working on the next episode and hopefully it keeps the standard up.
Hi George. A really enjoyable watch. Contrary to another comment I do like the stop motion photography. I think it works well with the commentary. While I understand it was a spur of the moment thing, the interview of Graham was brilliant. All too soon we will loose the opportunity to interview people like Graham and the experiences and passion from that era will be gone forever. Maybe an idea for another show? Keep up the good work and a good bribe will get me to like all your episodes. A passenger ride in the Esprit should do it.
Cheers Nigel. I plan to try and interview as many people like Graham as I can. There's a list of people I'd be honoured to sit down with, it's all just a case of support and logistics. There's about 190lbs of that 380lb max weight left for you depending on how many pies I eat by the time the Esprit is finished, so there's at least a chance of a spin ;)
Just discovered you today. The video work and jump from project to project would keep the attention and interest of even a non-car enthusiast. Truely unique. Great job
Lotus. Perhaps the most talented assembly of automotive engineers ever. No one moved the technology of performance further faster than Lotus. They gave us the blueprint of the modern performance and race car that we are still living today. Since the late 1950s, Britain has been the center of performance and race car engineering (Even the Ferrari - since the late '80s - and Mercedes - with lineage back to Tyrrell - F1 cars are designed and built in England), and especially during the '60s and '70s was moving forward performance engineering at a revolutionary pace. There are many excellent marques - McLaren, Lola, Chevron, Elva, Cooper, Surtees,, Brabham, etc., etc. - but Lotus lead everyone for a long time. On the more road-going side, the Seven, Elan, and Europa are still performance standards. The Esprit could be hit or miss. Still, there were many excellent variants in its long history. A properly sorted early car, light, simple, excellent chassis, dynamic drivetrain, can be a world-class performer today. I have an S1 I rescued. It's in need of a restoration and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, yet.
Wow I just found Your Chanel today as it was mentioned in the classic section of boards.ie , subscribed and plan to watch them all over the next week or 2 , Well made and really informative Thanks for sharing
When I took that bit of footage I was very excited about it [even though it's not the most perfect bokeh] and I showed the then owner of the car. He couldn't see it, even when I explained exactly what to look for. Maybe he was f'ing with me. It took the sheen off it a little so all this time later I'm chuffed you noticed :) I've been meaning to play with it a little more for some of the stings in the show. Thanks for getting in touch and watch this space ;)
Hi George. I really enjoyed the first three episodes. Keep up the good work. Your opening comments struck a chord with me as I have a Mini 1275 GT which I have been planning to put back on the road for years. I had actually started at the end of last year to just spend a few hours a week on it with a limited budget so look forward to following your projects with interest.
It is black and has an original Irish reg, but I have owned it since 1992. I drove it until 1996 when I changed to a Mk2 Golf GTI, and my brother drove the GT for a few years. It is in storage since about 2001
Crazy! Mine was a '79 and very original, but I hit a tree in a wash of understeer while taking turns to see who could get the GT around a corner faster, with a pal. Private road btw. wrecked the N/S front wing, A-panel and door and stripped the car down to restore, but never got any further. Sold it to a young fella as a project of parts along with a boxed set of 10" revo's I won from Mini World. It was my "don't know what I'm doing and too young to persevere" car. Want it back badly. Got on it mate, such a slick little car, fun mid range! Say yours is on tens?
That's not good! It's probably still out there somewhere. Mine is 1980 and fairly original too, brown stripy seats and all, although it does have Ascona Recaro front seats and a slightly modified engine. It's on 12's, steel wheels with plastic GT trims, not even alloys!
Sounds like we had similar cars. Mine still had the 145's and GT hub caps and blue stripy seats. I think the only non original things were the steering wheel and rocker cover. I've a feeling I'll track it down one of these days.
There was a JPS Esprit for sale in a small Birmingham garage, about 1990. It had been beautifully restored and I'm sure it was £9999, a lot of money back then. I wonder what happened to it?
Deadly Thomas! I made a point of showing the JPS owner the custom "bokeh" in the feature and he didn't get what I was talking about. There's more between sections in E.04 ;) I must shoot some more.
At about 2:55 you mention grinding down the plug welds and state that you would have used a, "juggler". What is that? I'm across the pond, and well I can pick-up most the terms, I couldn't figure that one.
There are two names people use, Joddler and Joggler. It's a crimping style tool that you use to both create a flange on sheet steel [so you can overlap another sheet], and to punch holes in the sheet for plug welding. A bead roller can be used to make the flange either.
Hi George, got word of your channel from davejaguar66 . Always liked land rovers, so enjoying the Range Rover bits. As a kid I had a toy Range Rover with trailer. And on that trailer was a lotus esprit all in jps colours. For the life of me I don't know what happened to it. Probably worth a small fortune. Keep up the good work. Rob.
Funny enough his Chief Eng. and later CEO Mike Kimberley who oversaw development on The Elise, Esprit and Evora amongst others, is over 6'5 and was in a cat and mouse battle with Chapman, moving the Esprits seat for ward and back on each other during development.
@@soupclassicmotoring Darn, the Chief Engineer lost out to the boss. ;-) Too bad he wasn't able to make some kind of convincing argument for golf clubs, a few luggage bags, or the family dog behind the seats. But!!!, With Mr. Kimberley involved with the Evora, guess what??? Fits big people and has a bit of extra space behind the seats. That car is on my radar. I'll have to give it another look.
Colin Chapman didn't say a damned thing about the work this man put into his vehicle make? I don't know much about Chapman, but come on, man! He had to have appreciated the additional attention
Loving the series. Saw a link shared on from drivetribe.com. Subscribed! You must be using a long lens(?) to do the stop frame work and not be bumping the camera about when you have to get in there. It's a lovely touch but must be bloody time consuming!
Thanks mate. Was using a 50mm a lot initially because it was my least valuable lens but I've moved to a mid length zoom for its versatility. It's worth the time to be able to show work happening without getting in the way. I enjoy it and I'm kept in the moment by it. To be honest the only trouble is with the low light for my links!
Interview's shot on a DSLR with a cheapo 50mm prime. I was balancing it on my folded knee which is why the shake, but I went there to view a car and didn't expect to do an interview. Was sitting there thinking 'this is gold!'
You must break it up into separate videos.per car I subscribed for the lotus it fustrating to wade thru jeep material to get lotus content. My freind you CAN NOT be all thimgs to all people but focus on one car per video will bring you closer... Love the esprit .I fell in love with the original Europa JPS in the day.
@@soupclassicmotoring Ive had ti series 2 in the past. Time fir another. I know your theme is soup.but one car per video or stay with one car then switch to the other.But sprinkling the lotus thru out one video back and forth is not a good style. Its extremely annoying ( like this comment is to you) I like your videos and content the editing . Its SOUP not soup in a blender.
I guess it is good that I don''t want to own a Lotus. Besides the fact that I am 6'6" (198 cm) and would not have enough headroom or legroom, I would have to lose 30 pounds to not be over the maximum passenger weight.
Nothing big planned, was going to have a sit down and answer some questions. Kind of out of character but I figure people have been asking "why's it called Soup" for a long time lol
As much i love what you are doing ,i loose interest in the content when you jump from car to car and i found myself starring at my ipad ,i get what you are trying to do is like every American car show ,imho focus on one car add your flavour to it and advance the project ,remember youtube crowd are selective this what is beautiful about it ,the animation that you do is cool but too much of it is like non and how much time are you putting into editing it . Your narration is perfect but keep it on one subject ,do not focus on doing a production focus on the content . Keep the good work 👍
Hi mate, thanks for the feedback. What I'm trying to do is restore my cars, show it in proper detail, and cut out all the waffle. If by virtue of that I can inspire or help anyone else then it's a major bonus. I'm a bit deflated that it comes across as a copy of one of the American shows, you'll find no sensationalism or click bait here and I try and keep myself out of it as much as possible. Regarding what to focus on, I'm putting 100% into everything and like I said, it's really about my cars, about daydreams of drives I haven't had yet. They're my motivation and what drives me to ask for support. Thanks again, and I hope there's still something in it for you.
What a gem. No false drama, headbanging music or people getting ripped off. Just a talented, engaging guy sharing a love of cars in the best way I've ever seen. Your time is surely coming!
Keeping it real is the most important thing to me Nick, would love to be able to fund it all myself and stay independent but so far so good. Thank a mill!
It's painful how underappreciated this show is. keep up the fantastic work
Thanks mat teo!
Why hasn't this been snapped up and put on tv somewhere? It's a far better show than many others I've seen - it should be unleashed on the masses. Keep up the great work, the stop motion is truly brilliant and something no one else has done. :)
Sorry for the late reply mate, thanks a million!
Yes Graham was engaging !. Can learn SO much from people like that !. 400 year old house... wow !. Lastly; you're very talented Soup !

That conjures some image Ian, would have loved to have seen that. I don't suppose any of it is still there? Send me a direct message if you like.
I left in 1984 and it was still there. Its gone through a few owner changes since then and checking on google maps the yard has gone, still a composites company, Paxford.

Are you still in the industry?
Still a pattern maker but not in the Car industry unfortunately.
Really fascinating stuff. Brilliantly filmed and presented
Thanks Dave, trying my best :)

So awesome to get the interview. To inform people of this history and introduce us to background of lotus history is grateful. Excellent series.
Thanks CrankyCanuck, glad you got some Lotus history, there will be lots more.
I liked the interview with Graham and his insight into the late great Colin Chapman.
Graham's a dream interviewee, my luck was in that day.
Another fantastic episode, just watched all 3 back to back. Love the varied content. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Mark. I'm really enjoying having a reason to chat to new people and get close to some stories.
Oh my, I also could listen to Graham for hours.
I’ve just discovered your channel. That’s the weekend written off! Land Rover and Lotus. Fantastic stuff!

As an American the Giugaro Esprit has always been one of my VERY favorite cars!
They're a special [historically important] and much under appreciated piece of auto history. Glad you're a believer and thanks for the comment :)
Just discovered you today. The video work and jump from project to project would keep the attention and interest of even a non-car enthusiast. Truely unique. Great job
I loved this episode because of the interview and history of Lotus racing cars. Good job!
This is an amazingly professional set of videos...Well done
a-thank you very much sir! 🥂
Best car resto ever! Thanks keep it going, a TV career is surely just round the corner.
Thank you Steve!
After watching your show, i now have a new soundtrack when working on my bikes. Top show George!
my first thought when I saw the color scheme on the lotus was john player special!
Never been my favourite colour scheme but it's growing on me.
I'd prefer Gulf on everything. But the two cars that stood out from my childhood were the JPS cars and the tyrell 6 wheelers.
Subscribed! amazing craftwork. I hope I can one day achieve what you have.

It's my love for 1980-1987 Lotus Turbo Esprit that got me interested in this video.
Cheers Steve, good intel.
love the pace of your editing, and headspace
Deadly, thanks :)
There such an interesting car ! Its also very interesting how some of the Lotus engineering was passed on to John Delorean.
He paid for it, everybody paid for it but there wasn't enough time to properly develop the car!
Wow I just found Your Chanel today as it was mentioned in the classic section of boards.ie , subscribed and plan to watch them all over the next week or 2 , Well made and really informative Thanks for sharing
Thanks a mill man, appreciate it. Will check out boards :)
awesome shot with the "soup" bokeh, while the popup headlights are closing.
Little details like that put this show over the top.
When I took that bit of footage I was very excited about it [even though it's not the most perfect bokeh] and I showed the then owner of the car. He couldn't see it, even when I explained exactly what to look for. Maybe he was f'ing with me. It took the sheen off it a little so all this time later I'm chuffed you noticed :) I've been meaning to play with it a little more for some of the stings in the show. Thanks for getting in touch and watch this space ;)
Hi George. I really enjoyed the first three episodes. Keep up the good work. Your opening comments struck a chord with me as I have a Mini 1275 GT which I have been planning to put back on the road for years. I had actually started at the end of last year to just spend a few hours a week on it with a limited budget so look forward to following your projects with interest.
Thanks a mill David and glad you got some inspirado :) You didn't by any chance buy your GT from me did you? Is it black and an original Irish car?
It is black and has an original Irish reg, but I have owned it since 1992. I drove it until 1996 when I changed to a Mk2 Golf GTI, and my brother drove the GT for a few years. It is in storage since about 2001
Crazy! Mine was a '79 and very original, but I hit a tree in a wash of understeer while taking turns to see who could get the GT around a corner faster, with a pal. Private road btw. wrecked the N/S front wing, A-panel and door and stripped the car down to restore, but never got any further. Sold it to a young fella as a project of parts along with a boxed set of 10" revo's I won from Mini World. It was my "don't know what I'm doing and too young to persevere" car. Want it back badly. Got on it mate, such a slick little car, fun mid range! Say yours is on tens?
That's not good! It's probably still out there somewhere.
Mine is 1980 and fairly original too, brown stripy seats and all, although it does have Ascona Recaro front seats and a slightly modified engine. It's on 12's, steel wheels with plastic GT trims, not even alloys!
Sounds like we had similar cars. Mine still had the 145's and GT hub caps and blue stripy seats. I think the only non original things were the steering wheel and rocker cover. I've a feeling I'll track it down one of these days.
Nice episode. Clearly you care about the quality of your work.
Try my best mate, still a ways to go though. Thanks a mill
There was a JPS Esprit for sale in a small Birmingham garage, about 1990. It had been beautifully restored and I'm sure it was £9999, a lot of money back then. I wonder what happened to it?
Awesome channel! I love the camera work and of course anything Lotus.
Much appreciated! thanks
Owned US FED #55 from 88-90. Great car, I miss it moocho! Great piece, thank you!
I think I own that car now. I just started trying to trace it. How amazing I found this comment
Great! Need a film on the 924 turbo next
Keep watching, there is a 924 episode but I haven't covered a turbo yet. Do have a pal with one though... we'll see 😅
Another flawless episode George. Love it 😎👊 AWESOME 😁
To say that Capel is so knowledgable about lotus, I was taken aback a fair bit when he got his years wrong.
Just discovered this channel now - great work *****
These videos are amazing! I had to rewind twice to make sure I saw "soup" in the headlight glare.
Deadly Thomas! I made a point of showing the JPS owner the custom "bokeh" in the feature and he didn't get what I was talking about. There's more between sections in E.04 ;) I must shoot some more.

Really cool how you filmed it.
Love that Cardboard Aided Design!
🤓
so thats 3 eps caught up..... and I became a patron, figured with a years worth of eps to see it was good value lol.
It's a deal, it's a steal, it's sale of the f&%king century. Ten points if you get the quote. Thanks a million man.
classic Lock Stock....
5:55 So I rolled up in honour of your trip to the woods. Wink, nod...
how come there isn't an emoji for a massive bifter?
You had me at CAD - Cardboard Aided Design.
👍🏼
Great work!
Amazing interview, great work. Shared.
Deadly stuff Fred, thanks.
Damn it!
I really do like the Esprit.
Colin Chapman should have been at least 6'5". Maybe I could have fit in his cars then.
Funny enough his Chief Eng. and later CEO Mike Kimberley who oversaw development on The Elise, Esprit and Evora amongst others, is over 6'5 and was in a cat and mouse battle with Chapman, moving the Esprits seat for ward and back on each other during development.

what kind of welder do you use ? love the series, it gives me encouragment to keep wrenching in my w123 230 E
Netflix HAS TO PIC THIS SERIES UP..
good job
@7:55 Nice painting
;)
If anyone fancies a JPS S2, there's one in the UK at Overbrook's - £60k, but it's sorted...
"Keep workin on your cars". Will do.
What camera and lens did you use for the interview? It looks great...
Interview's shot on a DSLR with a cheapo 50mm prime. I was balancing it on my folded knee which is why the shake, but I went there to view a car and didn't expect to do an interview. Was sitting there thinking 'this is gold!'
Just to be clear,am I correct in thinking there is no steel inside that 'A' post.
You are in fact... correct, and Lotus was winning international safety awards in the '70's.
enjoyed it, well done 👍
Its not underappreciated by me! Bring on the content, your on a winner :)
You must break it up into separate videos.per car I subscribed for the lotus it fustrating to wade thru jeep material to get lotus content.
My freind you CAN NOT be all thimgs to all people but focus on one car per video will bring you closer...
Love the esprit .I fell in love with the original Europa JPS in the day.
Thanks for the feedback mate, stick with it and see how you feel later. I'd love a Europa too, nothing else like it. I don't have any Jeep's btw ;)
@@soupclassicmotoring Ive had ti series 2 in the past. Time fir another.
I know your theme is soup.but one car per video or stay with one car then switch to the other.But sprinkling the lotus thru out one video back and forth is not a good style. Its extremely annoying ( like this comment is to you)
I like your videos and content the editing .
Its SOUP not soup in a blender.
@@MindDezign Hear you loud and clear man, as you said, can't be all things to all people.
@@soupclassicmotoring ah hah
I got you .Remember its SOUP not puree....
Keep rocking it
🤘🏼😎
5:30 wtf Impressive!
:)
went to buy a hoodie at your merch page....yikes?? any news on the stuff availability?
Sorry man, the page was down because of a tech issue. It's back now. Thanks for letting me know, and for the support :)
I guess it is good that I don''t want to own a Lotus. Besides the fact that I am 6'6" (198 cm) and would not have enough headroom or legroom, I would have to lose 30 pounds to not be over the maximum passenger weight.
almost 100KKKKKKKK..any grand plans Mate?
Nothing big planned, was going to have a sit down and answer some questions. Kind of out of character but I figure people have been asking "why's it called Soup" for a long time lol
Sub’d bloody loved this!
Are those rover tail lights?
Yep, SD1 lights upside down!
hell yes
YEAH!

As much i love what you are doing ,i loose interest in the content when you jump from car to car and i found myself starring at my ipad ,i get what you are trying to do is like every American car show ,imho focus on one car add your flavour to it and advance the project ,remember youtube crowd are selective this what is beautiful about it ,the animation that you do is cool but too much of it is like non and how much time are you putting into editing it .
Your narration is perfect but keep it on one subject ,do not focus on doing a production focus on the content .
Keep the good work 👍
Hi mate, thanks for the feedback. What I'm trying to do is restore my cars, show it in proper detail, and cut out all the waffle. If by virtue of that I can inspire or help anyone else then it's a major bonus. I'm a bit deflated that it comes across as a copy of one of the American shows, you'll find no sensationalism or click bait here and I try and keep myself out of it as much as possible. Regarding what to focus on, I'm putting 100% into everything and like I said, it's really about my cars, about daydreams of drives I haven't had yet. They're my motivation and what drives me to ask for support. Thanks again, and I hope there's still something in it for you.
Fuel pressure guage? 😂😂😂
Did I say that! 😅
You need to cut down on the intro...way to long :))
Thanks, keep watching, forever!
