This kind of professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail is what made Britain the envy of the world. Thankfully Iain is still flying the flag🇬🇧
One of the best cars ever constructed Iain Your work as a company is the standard no others can be judged by Not fair on them Can’t wait to hear it at full song once it’s warmed through of course 😎🏴❤️
If the fuel tank is American then it’s aluminum. Of course, if it’s in the UK it gets the extra i to become aluminium. But what is it in Germany? Aluminium. France? Same. Italy? Alluminio!
It's a neverending series of issues, the gas tank being a perfect example. You really have to have the passion (and deep pockets) to be a custodian of these gems.
I remember my boss buying a brand new F40 in 1989 and taking me for a ride that very afternoon, it was fantastic super car and the acceleration was out of this world.
What I find is stunning in this restoration is the quality of the paint work! I have never seen a more spectacular paint work than this example and this is from a monitor not even in real life!
With regard to 'relatively modern' sagging headliners - it's not so much the failure of the glue but the serious degradation of the foam backing which effectively turns the foam into a 'pile of dust like particles'. The installation of a 'better quality' foam backing - if it exists - will help the situation.
Amazing video once again thank you! And yes we do need a “Craigs Corner” channel so we can be taught the dark arts of interior trim and material repair and restoration plus all the proper go to cleaning and maintenance with the appropriate products and applications used and why. All good stuff to boost confidence in tackling such subject matter. That Ferrari though… thanks for inviting us to its world. Keep up the amazing work and content.
That is hands down, one beautiful Ferrari F40! Also, I've been longing for the next part of the Ferrari F40 restoration series and all I can say is, it's well worth the wait.^^
Bag tanks are one of the things that makes keeping a McLaren F1 on the road difficult. One of the thing Gordon Murray did in the new T50 is to put in an ordinary tank, to make them simpler to drive. Same with the tyres - standard sizes instead of the F1's odd size.
Beautiful restoration. I'm not the F40's biggest fan (always preferred the 288) but the glamour shots of this car look stunning. What a job this must be to do day to day....
Iain, I installed a CNC cutter in a factory way back in 1997, somewhere in south England, they cut the material for many bladder tanks, F1, Indy cars etc. seeing these out the car again has brought back fond memories, I forget the name of the company..
As a teenager I stood staring at an f40 at the NEC, also the Ferrari employees were of excellent structure and quality any young man would admire, a memory I will never forget, the employees were canny aswell.
It's hard to believe in this day and age, or even in the late 80s, that they can't make a material that is flexible but will not become porous and leak petrol. Great video as usual on my all time favourite car. I've had a model one sitting on a shelf for about 35 years now, sadly as close as I'm likely to get.
I can't wait for the test drive! Nico Rosberg, the 2016 F1 champion, has a channel, in one of his videos he takes an F40 around Monaco, not the track but other roads, he is really caning it, well worth a watch
Good morning lain. Something tells me you won't be giving this beauty a "road" test .....?.l took my MGB to a local show in Teignmouth yesterday and some cheeky devil parked his Testa Rossa in front of me ......lt was a beautiful car and the lucky custodian had it for sale at what l thought a bargain price of £90 k . As always lain , many thanks .
What a lovely episode, Iain! So relaxed and full of specialised titbits which inspires me for my Gen111 Civic hatchbacks, a 1992 Mazda 929 4ws and the hardest of all a 1981Lancia Beta HPE!! ( yes, the most difficult! 😅 ) love all of your content and Craig is legend!so talented...and patient! Cheers and thankyou.
Not only is a pleasure to get to watch you and your workshop work on cars like this, but you also have the ability to explain all of the inner workings of each different make and model. Even dummies, like me, can sort of understand some of it 😉😂 Looking forward to seeing it out on the roads....I hope 😉
Thank you for the walk-through and the detailed explanations! If by chance you don't have time to test drive that and you need somebody I will PM you 😁 I heard somewhere just the other day what a huge percentage of these cars (F40) are hardly driven. And I guess this one at 20,000 km for its age is no exception I was watching some Ferrari shop on RUclips in the San Francisco Bay Area the other day and he had one of these in his shop and it had not been driven in 14 years. Just sat in the garage And he was detailing all the things he had to do just because the thing was just sitting Of course with the cost of repairs and maintenance I can see why they are sparingly driven I had an encounter with one of these on our local freeway years ago I am looking in my rearview mirror and the profile is mysterious to me. I couldn't figure out what it was and then of course I saw the little yellow rectangular emblem on the front so I knew it was a Ferrari And he passed me slowly in the next lane and that engine sound was...bellissimo! Thank you again and I want you to know I've learned a lot from you watching your channel I was taking an old friend of mine - a long time Mercedes-Benz shop owner to lunch yesterday - and I was telling a little bit of the historical importance of the 70s era Porsche Carrera I still find it fascinating that all of the manufacturing processes today on aluminum engine blocks all stem from Porsche's need to expand their displacement and they didn't have room to do it conventionally and how the Mahle distributor suggested coating the cylinder walls with this process they used for an NSU wankel part All learned from Professor Tyrrell!
Oh No ! - "To be continued" - I feel like I did at 11 years old when I'd just got to the end of a thrilling Six Million Dollar man episode and I had to wait a week, to see the finale.🥰
I remember seeing a new one of these parked up in a chic area of Munich in the 80’s and noting how crudely some parts were finished. It’s clearly a purposeful functional design with no “frilly’ bits. Of course there was a large crowd round it. Thanks for another great video - keep ‘em coming.
Thank you for another fascinating chapter of exotic cars. I couldn't ignore the large dark saloon close to you as you spoke. Without ore-empting anything, may we be seeing more of the Jaguar Mk VI or VII? I'm a lad of its time; few cars have ever had the presence of that model.
What happened in my seats (and I've seen in other F40s) was the adhesive degraded and became black. The seats looked dirty but they were clean on the surface. It was the darkened adhesive that created the problem and the material sagged. I had mine redone, and they looked brand new. Love these seats. Thank you for explaining the cooling and turbo systems. It is such an amazing piece of engineering given the quick development.
There is a F40 in Johannesburg that is used regularly by the owner . That howl of the engine is mind blowing . Not a garage Queen special . And gives rides at Ferrari club events too .
What an awesome car! I had a Bburago model of the F40 for a long time. Unfortunately I didn't have the change for the big version. Fantastic with what enthusiasm and excitement you talk about your work ? and let us take part in it !!! Thank you very much. Sorry but I have it translated by Deepl so it might sound a bit bulky ! I´m from Germany. Cheers
I love Iain’s enthusiasm and am in awe of his detailed knowledge. I’ve been around cars for over 50 years and know enough to know that he knows what he’s talking about. It’s also funny that the famous Ferrari’s headliner was put in crooked…..
Doesn't seem that long ago that I was showing my lads an F40 at GrayPaul in Edinburgh. It was a £300K machine then. Unlike Frank Stephenson I am a sucker for a mesh rear panel. What a car and a spectacular restoration.
Hi Iain. I must admit the F40 is my ultimate dream car so any video that features one is a must watch. I have definitely learnt a lot more about F40's just by watching your series of videos on the restoration of this car. I can still remember the day when I first laid eyes on one and it so happened to be parked next to my old Holden Commodore worth probably a couple of grand at that time. The F40 in question was painted yellow and in right hand drive. From what I can work out it was once owned by the Sultan of Brunei and it is one of only 7 converted by Pininfarina. In regards to the headlining failing, it is a common problem on late model Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons. Apparently the foam disintegrates due to our hot sun and the headlining then becomes an upside down parachute. Motor trimmers here are very proficient of replacing them, they just replace the foam and lining as one. My Holden ute's lining is held up in a similar fashion as this F40, just a few screws with the sunvisors and slips under the B pillar plastic trim. I guess if it is good enough for an F40, it is good enough for a ute.
Collecting Cars crucify themselves with 'yoof', whilst Iain continues to amaze, entertain and utterly lead the historic marvels at Tyrrell's. Don't change Iain.
Love seeing all the bits and bobs as you say. I never knew the headliner color in a F40. Always thought it was the color of the seats or dash. I have had the pleasure of seeing a few in person even on the road, just never noticed. Granted you have to really get down and look into the see the headliner when I'm focused on the seats and the shifter. My favorite F40 sighting was driving into an Indy F1 on Friday practice day. We were following a 360 Stradale proudly singing the song of his people, holding gears and giving it the boot between the red lights when a F40 popped up beside him. The 360 calmed down quite a bit. The 360 did sound quite nice but the situation was rather amusing. If you get the chance, I'd love to hear more on the history of F40 LM upgrades. You do a great job of covering all the interesting details. US DOT is weird, late to radial tires, and headlight upgrades but we get ugly 5mph bumpers. I have no logical explanation. C5, C6 and C7 Corvettes did get saddle tanks made from a rubberish plastic material but not nearly as flexible as the F40 tanks.
The stuff of dreams. A couple of years back Nick Mason roared past us in his F40 just outside Cirencester. A few yards after the 30's limit. What a noise. Then his daughter went past in the Aston Ulster. I bet Scott (aka Ratarossa) is watching every last detail Iain!
how I know Craig is one of the GOAT's: 1. Leno: "uuuuh! aaaaah!" 2. Harry: "keep watching! keep subscribing!" 3. Ian: "ketchup!" 4. Craig: "yes, YEAH!"
When this restoration series began, I thought to myself what could possibly need to be restored on a car that was that was most assuredly well-kept to begin with... but then it dawned on me that this car is at the very least 32 years old.. and then I realized how old I AM.... and well, it looks spectacular! I wish I could say the same 🤣
This is one of the greatest automotive channels in RUclips. Thank you !
Thank YOU!
Not just RUclips - anywhere

God Bless.
I think Craig is a ROCKSTAR! The skill, the understanding and his cheery mood.
I agree, but that headlining is full of dimples....... i wonder why.
Your digressions are what makes this channel so unique and enjoyable.
Thank you for that
I hope you wake up and pinch yourself to realize that this isn't a dream your are living. Hard work has paid off. Love your content.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the videos
Ha ha, loved the comment “There is a limit.”
One of the best cars ever constructed Iain
Your work as a company is the standard no others can be judged by
Not fair on them

@@iain_tyrrellu r a huge inspiration for my ch. I love every single video and the knowledge you share and the learning. Love it keep going!!
Materazzi is nodding in approval from the engineers heaven 👏👏👏
Engine rebuilds, no problem. Suspension rebuilds, no problem. Door cards and roof linings, argh.. impossible. Awesome respect for Craig's skills.
I just love the magic of Craig’s corner. Well done that man 👍
F40's are still as stunning as they were 30 years ago when I first saw one. In every way amazing.
Iain’s technical knowledge is second to none. Got to be one of the best in the world 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I love F40's one of the best Ferrari's ever
I know we are alot of classic car enthusiasts here in Norway following your channel.
Always something interesting. And please keep it nerdy. 👌🏻
Thank you indeed! Your support from Norway is greatly appreciated
The nerdiness is wonderfull!
It's a neverending series of issues, the gas tank being a perfect example. You really have to have the passion (and deep pockets) to be a custodian of these gems.
I remember my boss buying a brand new F40 in 1989 and taking me for a ride that very afternoon, it was fantastic super car and the acceleration was out of this world.
Only 1311 F40s were made, magnificent restoration on this priceless Ferrari.
Thanks!
What I find is stunning in this restoration is the quality of the paint work! I have never seen a more spectacular paint work than this example and this is from a monitor not even in real life!
Just got back from surfing, got a solid breakfast burrito AND Iain drops an F40 video? This is a good morning my friends.
Well thank you!
Looks like another supporter of Iain on the West Coast of the US. This is one of the highlights of my Sunday AM also.
@@jtreutSoCal! Iain’s videos are the best on RUclips IMO (along with Jason Camisa).
Tyrrell's Classic Workshop. Fighting the good fight against entropy since 1984. 😀
Love Ian's Finger imprints in the headliner.
😂
I found that rather odd too, but i didn't want to make a neg comment ✌️🇬🇧
I read that when doing it, one should be extra careful not to touch it until the solvent had evaporated 😅😅😅
With regard to 'relatively modern' sagging headliners - it's not so much the failure of the glue but the serious degradation of the foam backing which effectively turns the foam into a 'pile of dust like particles'. The installation of a 'better quality' foam backing - if it exists - will help the situation.
I think Craig's Corner has become my favourite part of the show
He does truly outstanding work and he'll be delighted to know that it's appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it.
I want ALL the B-roll you have of this F40, it's gorgeous and I could stare at it all day
It is a stunning car.

Wait till you see next week’s!:-)
@@iain_tyrrell OK, sir!^^
I've always wondered about why the standard F40 exhaust was like this, thank you for the explanation.
For the record, I would watch a 15 minute video of purely Craig's Corner about once a month
Fantastic content must be hugely satisfying working in this kind of workshop, when attention to detail is so important.
Thank you
Bag tanks are one of the things that makes keeping a McLaren F1 on the road difficult. One of the thing Gordon Murray did in the new T50 is to put in an ordinary tank, to make them simpler to drive. Same with the tyres - standard sizes instead of the F1's odd size.

Do I spot a beautiful Mk 7 Jaguar in your lovely workshop.
Really enjoy your videos. Craigs corner is great. He’s a master of his craft
Yes, it is a Mk 7, but staying for a short time only
Craig's Corner is a great name for the RUclips channel. Would be lovely to see him go into all the intricate details about the craft.
You did an awesome job on this car. I wish you do it on my favorite... 288 GTO.
Amazing, as you noted!
When it comes to attention to detail, craftsmanship, knowledge & passion, it doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you!
Take it for a spin!

This was a fantastic and highly interesting video of an F40's restoration. Well done 'Professor' Tyrrell!
Thank you!
Wow. The difference between the old and new paint is amazing. Between that and your teams work, it looks like it just left Maranello.
Craig rules! Such incredible artistry ...
Wat an amazing car a testament to the time it was mad and to Ferrari thank you gentlemen
Saw an F-40 in Calgary once. Even more beautiful in person. Only one I ever saw
The F40 has that smug little smile that says "You know I got this."
what a great team you've assembled !
Thank you!
It's hard to believe in this day and age, or even in the late 80s, that they can't make a material that is flexible but will not become porous and leak petrol.
Great video as usual on my all time favourite car. I've had a model one sitting on a shelf for about 35 years now, sadly as close as I'm likely to get.
The paint finish on that car is superb .
👍🏻
A few weeks ago i was blown away after seeing a red f40 then after one hour is saw a black one:)
It’s incredible to think that these cars are coming up on their 40th year 🏴👍🏻

I was ready to.
Restoring engineering materials like metals is one thing; fighting sloppy stuff like headliners and upholstery is whole different matter.
