This channel is without a doubt one of the very best on the web. We all have to thank Harry Metcalfe for pushing this forward and congratulations to Iain Tyrrell for the magnificent work!
It's been an incredible first few months working with Iain to produce these videos and I wholeheartedly echo his gratitude for the overwhelming support and comments, which can only inspire us to keep producing more videos.
Jonathan, please keep in mind that a lot of people enjoy these videos and don't bother to comment. For the record, I am an early user of youtube, have my own small channel, collect cars and toys, and have an interest in many different aspects of automobiles both from collecting to the technical. I have been making videos of all types since 1983. I have done videos of car shows and interviewed owners, talked with thousands of people, and watched videos from around the world. Your's/Iain's are among the best. Why? Because they provide context, history, details and THEN the road tests. This is a great combination. When I go or listen to a professional, I really want them to be considerably more informed than I am, which is the issue with so many automobile videos on youtube. People tell outright wrong information...I don't mean some small details but blatantly wrong information, and pass opinions off as facts. From Corvairs are dangerous and will kill you, to AMCs were trash cars, to Corvettes don't handle well--I have heard it all. When you hear so much of that, and then come to a channel like this one, it is like a great relief. I don't need music, flashy graphics, audience participation, or games. You folks present it like I am standing in that garage and I am learning things. Thanks for your hard work.
Hi Jonathan, it has been a breath of fresh air to have the Iain Tyrrell’s classic series of videos. He is so knowledgeable and his cars he shows are very exotic. Video quality is great too and oozing with lovely cars in his garage. Keep them coming at this quality please.
Miura and Countach understandibly get all the attention when talking about classic lamborghinis, but the Jarama is actually my favourite. Thanks for sharing... 👍🏻
Iain Terrell and Harry Metcalfe are real car enthusiasts who patiently enjoy passing on their knowledge to fellow petrol heads. Every video is appreciated by us, like a fine wine.
Not much more I can say that hasn't already been said.. Ian's easy going nature and delivery of his encyclopaedic knowledge make this one of youtube's joys.. Thank you
I've always been fascinated by Espadas, Jaramas, Urracos and the like. It started when I was given a Lamborghini book as a kid, and I devoured every word and picture. To actually see a Jarama in the flesh is incredible
Ian you give us Italian car fans a great insight into the history of how these cars were built by these companies. To be able to tell us you have met close family and heard first hand what happened in the past is truly amazing. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more gems of information 👍
One of my favourites, amazing square-rigged styling and proportions. Love the idiosyncratic styling of Lamborghinis in period, they elevate you beyond your own aesthetic reference points.
Awesome to see two beautiful Jaramas together! This is my favorite Lamborghini ever, and I never realized that it was also Ferruccio's own favorite too! Fabulous video!!
Dear Mr. Tyrell, yet again, I must thank you for introducing me to a model I had no prior knowledge about. The information and correlations you bring to the fore are fascinating, with respects to design/mechanics & restoration. With kind regards, TH
I don’t normally comment but yet again another piece of youtube gold. Please keep them coming Iain we appreciate it very much. Yours and Harry’s channel have been keeping us alive during lockdown, thanks from Australia all the best 🇦🇺
Iain Tyrrell - "The Engine Whisperer". The only issue i have with this brilliant channel, is that Iain's voice is so soothing, that even the amazing content succumbs to my ability to stay awake of an evening.
I like that the Jarama is a very unique looking car with a lot of eccentric touches to the design (for example those pop-down headlights) yet it has that instantly identifiable specific 1960's/1970's European luxury car aesthetic. Also interesting that it's a rather obscure car today but Ferruccio Lamborghini considered it the one best car he ever designed!
The green car looks absolutely outstanding the shine on that paint is so deep. Loving the red and black interior on the silver one also! I really marvel at the way you guys manage to freshen up delicate interior parts and make them look factory fresh despite their years. Bloody amazing
Mr. Tyrrell once again surprises me with his knowledge, he's pretty much a living encyclopedia. I'd love to see a review of the Lamborghini Lm002, probably the craziest Lamborghini ever made.
i like the fact clients fly him out of the uk to listen to an engine and he tweaks it by audio :). it would be interesting if he could tune an engine better by ear than someone with a rolling road. 2 identical cars tested before and after, digital/carbs?
Oh yes, I did enjoy that! One of my favourite cars, and was on my bedroom wall as a pre-teenager, along with MANY other exotic cars. So glad their owners today clearly cherish them and keep them in such wonderful condition. Many thanks to them, and indeed yourself, Iain.
I feel like going to school and my teacher is of that sort that you hardly had the privilege to listen to and learn from when you were a kid. I‘m sipping a glass of good Italian wine and feeling blessed. Thank you Iain.
How the modern trend for popping, banging and farting exhausts these days ever took off is a mystery to me. The sound of that V12 should be an inspiration to all car designers.
You can hear some popping from the Jarama's exhaust at 12:44 when he revs it while pulling back into the garage. I figure the modern trend exists because people remember the sound from old performance cars. Makes pops and bangs = must be sporty. I used to have an Alfa Romeo 33 with twin carbs, and I loved engine-braking everywhere to listen to the exhaust pops and crackles.
Iain, don't forget to complete the "About" section. You can use that as an additional avenue to ensure more views and perhaps business/sponsorship land here. Love the channel, admire your passion and damn it, I'm more than a little jealous!
I grew up in the Miura, Jarama, Espada, Uracco era and thought they were all fantastic looking cars. The Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, Aventador cast such a large shadow onto what a Lamborghini is in the minds of many that nowadays when people see the old cars they’re disappointed, unfortunately. Personally I love them all. And love this channel!
A very different mindset at Lamborghini nowadays. Difficult to even compare the two eras. Space age materials and diagnostics vs a screwdriver and the human ear. I don’t know how a novice even approaches maintaining a modern Lamborghini.
It's just cuz those of us born in the eighties and later never knew the hustoty. Most people my age and younger get foggy eyes when I explain the miura or the Ferrari dino lol. Plus like he said most folks think of the master works. Not the jarama or espada type cars.
Look at Bill Mitchell´s Oldsmobil Tornado as a Fastback Prototype and you can see where Gandini got his "inspiration" for the Jarama two years before. I think he invented those headlights so that nobody could easily identify the similarity between the production Tornado or the even more similar Fastback prototype ;-)
Beautiful work Mr. Tyrrell. Congratulations! Plz keep us informed about the beauties that visit your pristine garage! It's really a pleasure to watch your videos. High quality stuff! Cheers from the Algarve!
Tyrrell: the only man that can briefly speak about a relatively overlooked car and convince you beyond the shadow of a doubt that it’s the best vehicle in the world.
I did some restoration work on an Alfa Romeo Montreal some years ago They were designed, and in production around the same time as the Lamborghini Jarama. They have the same roll down and under type headlamp shrouds, covering the upper part of each pair of lamps. The difference being that on the Montreal, it's a cast metal slatted grille, painted in body colour. The Montreal has a thin stainless steel / chrome finisher on the headlamp grille edge, and all around the nose and rear panels. The finisher is a simiar to that seen on Triumph Stag and 2000 / 2500 models of that time. It highlights the nose and rear shape much better than the Jarama. I'm pretty sure Marcello Gandini / Bertone did the styling on both the Jarama, and the Montreal.
Absolutely top drawer guy who is rated extremely highly by Lamborghini in Bologna and frankly by everyone else in the industry...actually going out of my way to ensure my next purchase is via Iain.
Much like Harry Metcalf, watching you feels like a favorite uncle explaining things. I've gone to the first and watching my way through to the most recent. I've enjoyed each and will undoubtedly enjoy the rest. Love that dark green. your shop does beautiful work. Cheers and I hope you keep the videos coming. Best wishes for the channel's success.
Boy oh boy do we have a debt with Harry for encouraging Iain to start this channel up, golden minutes in every episode, thanks so much to all involved.
love the older Italian cars, Lambo, Ferrari and Maserati - in the early 70's I was in school when a car magazine, maybe road and track, tested the Dayton, Muira and Ghibli - and my lifelong love afair began.
‘Well, I hope you enjoyed that’ Iain Tyrrell 2020 Of course we bloomin’ well did Iain, it’s sheer magic like all of your videos! What a great channel, thank you Iain 🙏
Somewhere around 12 people commented that the Alfa Montreal has pop down headlight covers (not including replies to those comments). If you'd just read the comments before adding your own, life would be so much better. Nicely done video, as are all of Ian's.
Never having been exposed to a broad cross section of Italian cars as I grew up in the North-East England in the 60's-70's: Range- Fiat 500, 124, 128's, the odd Alfa GT Junior and a Lancia Fulvia, I have through watching Iain's & Harry Metcalfe's fabulous videos, grown to appreciate the wider albeit pricier spectrum of the automative engineering output of the Italians. Iain's lexicon of the old car speak, his anecdotes and the eye-watering selection of cars in his workshop combine to create an environment where silence at the listeners end is obligatory to catch each factoid and its nuanced enunciation. The content is so good that I would urge Iain consider creating an Open University curriculum on Classic Car automotive history- I'd happily sit in my study and pour over car manuals and strip/rebuild a carburettor as an assignment in my draughty shed. These videos are truly inspirational. This one shines a light on the early iterations of the super car and like the others, will be revisited repeatedly. Thanks again
Good Morning Dr. Iain Tyrrell. Greetings from The Caribbean Island of Trinidad. Thanks Once Again for Sharing Your Knowledge and Experience with Us. A Living Encyclopedia of Automotive History. Keep Healthy. Cheers Carlyle
Thank you Iain, yours and Harrys channels are the best automotive channels on youtube I feel. Original content with lots of details, history and facts. I just finished two weeks on duty and got home today and then saw this, made my day!
Here in Aust, some years back a friend was selling a gold Jarama for 28,000. I wanted to buy it from him, he refused to let me take over his giant headache, but to this day, I maintain that it is such a clean but aggressive Beauty. We love your programs greatly here.
I am not a big fan of spoilers everywhere, but i feel like this car's rear is begging for one, something subtle and horizontal. Other than that, i agree.
the Jarama is the one Lamborghini design ever that somehow looks inconspicious, while still having a very inventive design that you can instantly identify as a European luxury car from the 1960's and 1970's@@Sci-flyer
Had mine for 25 years sold it a couple of years ago to the right person. I know he takes care of it. Did a ground up restoration mostly myself back in the times when youtube and digital media didn't exist. Tricky to find parts. This was the time when you had to stroll around in junkyards and look into any old fiat you could find and see if any parts where identical. As it were, air condition condenser fans was FIAT 127 heater fan, interior roof fabric was some alfa etc etc... fun times.....
I remember seeing this model shown and reported about in the Car Magazines back then. Even back then, I Really Liked this Model, and Design of those unique headlights. I wonder if this model was designed with the inherent RACING DNA as the Muria ? Harry was there in your shop, you were restoring his Countach, EXCELLENCE RESULTS, and you were explaining about the original intent of the Muria's chassis was for racing. I found that Suprising, INGENIOUS, YET, NOT SUPRISING Due to the TIMES with Motorsports. Got me to Thinking SIR. I ALWAYS Receive INSPIRATION with your EXTENSIVE, EXPANSIVE, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE, as you share, so OBVIOUS in your EASE, Very Much as A Professor, when Revealing ALL THESE UNKNOWN SECRETS about each Creation into EXISTENCE for us to Enjoy AND PRESERVE. I'M Just Wondering IF Anyone IN Lamborghini Was able to Explore the POSSIBILITIES of a Lamborghini RACECAR in those days? Wonder How they would look like in a RACING Versions . . .
I was fortunate enough to receive as a young boy a book called Supercars Of The Seventies. It was a compilation of Motor road tests authored by Jeremy Sinek. The original Lamborghini Countach was on the cover (that's what attracted me to the book) and it featured tests of the Countach, Jarama, Espada and Urraco amongst many other period cars. I was always fascinated by the Jarama mainly because I wondered why someone would name a car Jar Rama 😂 ( I was only 8) as well as how it could possibly be from the same company as the Countach. Ever since then I have always been a Lambo fan. Ferrucio was an engineer first and foremost and just wanted to make a better car than Ferrari down the road. So Iain, thankyou very much for taking your time to present the Jarama to us in this way. If you could now do a Countach, Urraco and Harry's Espada I would be a very happy 8 year old forty years on! Gareth.
What a delight. I note the exceedingly well labelled switches at 5:18 - quite a contrast to the 'mystery switch' tradition of many exotic cars over the years.
Just did a search on the test driver you spoke about "Bob Wallace" some interesting stuff on how he tested some of the cars with mates from other manufacturers back in the say !
Oh I would dearly love to live in a world where this channel is watched by millions and Doug DeMuro is the small channel. Great channel and lovely explanaitions of the cars.
I like the ergonomically odd radio mount at the top of the windshield. Keeps the center of the instrument panel much cleaner looking. The engine is all the sound this car needs!
Watching your videos feels really good. This is well paced, with loads of informations and knowledge from a really humble, well spoken sharing guy. I'm glad I discovered your chanel through Harry's one and I have to say, I love it. It's been frustraring looking for cars channel thar are not bragging etc but more informative about the history, the mechanics and all. It's like I found a unicorn. Thank you Iain, your team and sponsors. After watching your videos, I do want an old italian V12 at home and for that, I do not thank you. Cheers
Iain, Brilliant introduction to the Jarama series-thank you. I couldn't help noticing the ammeter was almost pegged at 40+ with the voltmeter towards the lower end of the green. Presumably this was no cause for concern in itself, perhaps the car had been sitting a while and the battery needed topping up? In normal circumstances you'd hope to see the ammeter reading only slightly into the positive, yes? I'm loving all the Lamborghini content on your channel. Keep up the great work please! Best, Brett
In America that car would be in a garage hiding, not driven by an owner unwilling o drive it. So glad to see euro drivers actually drive their cars. Thank you for such great content.
This guy is a freaking natural behind the camera. So informative and well spoken. One of the best car channels out there for sure. Keep em’ coming Ian
Totally agree his knowledge is outstanding. 👍
He needs his own spot on BBC1.
Absolutely, there’s a handful of automotive channels that are genuinely informative instead of screaming at you to drive up subscribers
Gary Fishman, completely agree. He’s just enjoying sharing his knowledge and not obsessed with sponsors or add revenue.
Love this channel! Really...
This channel is without a doubt one of the very best on the web. We all have to thank Harry Metcalfe for pushing this forward and congratulations to Iain Tyrrell for the magnificent work!

Fantastic video as always Iain, we're extremely happy to be sponsoring such a great channel!

You certainly pick the good ones guys!
yes its gold. superb presentation.. great filming.. we love it

Harry Metcalfe, Ian Tyrell and Chris Harris should present top gear !!!! Ian Tyrell is so interesting I could listen to him all day
You are on to something. That would be amazing!
Philip Andreicuk, agree! I would add Tiff Needle in there too though.
Ring the BBC and get them on to it please.
Good shout. The "celebrity" and "trying to create chemisty" with their line ups since Clarkson, May and Hammond left hasnt worked.
Don't get Tyrrell involved with corporate, sitcom-like, car shows!
No thanks. Tv needs big presenters. Ian and harry would have been top gear presenters 35 yrs ago. You tube is their best home
How the modern trend for popping, banging and farting exhausts these days ever took off is a mystery to me. The sound of that V12 should be an inspiration to all car designers.
Well spoken 🙌
So true .👍
The fast and furious fartcan civic crowd from the early 2000's still want to hear the sounds of their youth.
You can hear some popping from the Jarama's exhaust at 12:44 when he revs it while pulling back into the garage. I figure the modern trend exists because people remember the sound from old performance cars. Makes pops and bangs = must be sporty.
I used to have an Alfa Romeo 33 with twin carbs, and I loved engine-braking everywhere to listen to the exhaust pops and crackles.
A bit like me. I'm 70 and while I have grown old I have never grown up.
Iain, don't forget to complete the "About" section. You can use that as an additional avenue to ensure more views and perhaps business/sponsorship land here.
Love the channel, admire your passion and damn it, I'm more than a little jealous!
Excellent video again from TCW....."the green car has had a ground up restoration" !!............ serious expenditure I'm sure ££.
Another brilliant video Iain. We're delighted to be a part of Tyrrell's Classic Workshop...and the Jaramas look fantastic!
Iain's immense knowledge and easy, relaxed speaking manner is what makes this channel so endearing. It has quickly become one of my favorite channels.
I grew up in the Miura, Jarama, Espada, Uracco era and thought they were all fantastic looking cars. The Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, Aventador cast such a large shadow onto what a Lamborghini is in the minds of many that nowadays when people see the old cars they’re disappointed, unfortunately. Personally I love them all. And love this channel!
A very different mindset at Lamborghini nowadays. Difficult to even compare the two eras. Space age materials and diagnostics vs a screwdriver and the human ear. I don’t know how a novice even approaches maintaining a modern Lamborghini.
Mash Code - If I was in a position to choose between a Miura SV or an Aventador SVJ I’d choose the Miura hands-down.
It's just cuz those of us born in the eighties and later never knew the hustoty. Most people my age and younger get foggy eyes when I explain the miura or the Ferrari dino lol. Plus like he said most folks think of the master works. Not the jarama or espada type cars.
@@MaShcode They don't! Only for millionaires.
The other car with pop down headlights was the Alfa Montreal.
Jarama and Montreal are like cousins.
America's Choice
Don’t forget the Iso Lele too. Very similar styling wise to the Jarama.
I’m wondering if we can also count the XJ220 in this?
Vector W8 has pop down headlights.
Check out the headlights on a Panther Solo.
Thank you, Iain.
What's not to like ? Fabulous automotive history lesson and a real joy to see what these experts can do! Thanks Iain.
One of my favorit automotive channels right now. Classy cars and gentleman, keep it up!
He really hit the ground running, production values and great information.
One of my fav channels too!
Look at Bill Mitchell´s Oldsmobil Tornado as a Fastback Prototype and you can see where Gandini got his "inspiration" for the Jarama two years before. I think he invented those headlights so that nobody could easily identify the similarity between the production Tornado or the even more similar Fastback prototype ;-)
So thankful for you taking time out of your busy schedule, Mr Tyrell. To enlighten us with automotive beauty, I simply love the Jarama. Thank you Sir!

Beautiful work Mr. Tyrrell. Congratulations! Plz keep us informed about the beauties that visit your pristine garage! It's really a pleasure to watch your videos. High quality stuff! Cheers from the Algarve!
Just sat down to my first coffee.....and boom! A new TCW video. It's gonna be a good day.
"Only four hours old... but it's still running okay!" - some classy humour there 😂

Of course we bloomin’ well did Iain, it’s sheer magic like all of your videos! What a great channel, thank you Iain 🙏
The extra camera angles in the driving portion of this video really added to the enjoyment. Nicely done.

fun times.....
Best car channel on RUclips?
Love it.
I remember seeing this model shown and reported about in the Car Magazines back then. Even back then, I Really Liked this Model, and Design of those unique headlights. I wonder if this model was designed with the inherent RACING DNA as the Muria ? Harry was there in your shop, you were restoring his Countach, EXCELLENCE RESULTS, and you were explaining about the original intent of the Muria's chassis was for racing. I found that Suprising, INGENIOUS, YET, NOT SUPRISING Due to the TIMES with Motorsports. Got me to Thinking SIR. I ALWAYS Receive INSPIRATION with your EXTENSIVE, EXPANSIVE, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE, as you share, so OBVIOUS in your EASE, Very Much as A Professor, when Revealing ALL THESE UNKNOWN SECRETS about each Creation into EXISTENCE for us to Enjoy AND PRESERVE. I'M Just Wondering IF Anyone IN Lamborghini Was able to Explore the POSSIBILITIES of a Lamborghini RACECAR in those days? Wonder How they would look like in a RACING Versions . . .
I was fortunate enough to receive as a young boy a book called Supercars Of The Seventies. It was a compilation of Motor road tests authored by Jeremy Sinek. The original Lamborghini Countach was on the cover (that's what attracted me to the book) and it featured tests of the Countach, Jarama, Espada and Urraco amongst many other period cars. I was always fascinated by the Jarama mainly because I wondered why someone would name a car Jar Rama 😂 ( I was only 8) as well as how it could possibly be from the same company as the Countach. Ever since then I have always been a Lambo fan. Ferrucio was an engineer first and foremost and just wanted to make a better car than Ferrari down the road. So Iain, thankyou very much for taking your time to present the Jarama to us in this way. If you could now do a Countach, Urraco and Harry's Espada I would be a very happy 8 year old forty years on! Gareth.
Pure class from both Iain and the cars
TCW is the best kept secret on automotive RUclips. Just wonderful. Thank you Harry for convincing Iain to create the channel.
What a delight. I note the exceedingly well labelled switches at 5:18 - quite a contrast to the 'mystery switch' tradition of many exotic cars over the years.
Loving the wheel mats on entry to the garage, clean your boots before entering this home!
Was only ever vaguely aware of the Jarama but after watching this it’s my new favourite Lamborghini. Beautiful car.
Thank you. I never even knew it existed. Love the shape
Beautiful car ! The sound when you opened her up is mesmerizing !
Captivating as ever. Iain is living proof of the old adage that knowledge is everything.
Iain , as always so informative.
Now favorite channel on youtube...Don't tell Harry.
i dare to tell him that ;-)
Thank you Tyrell for this episode
Excellent as usual Iain. Thank you
Just did a search on the test driver you spoke about "Bob Wallace" some interesting stuff on how he tested some of the cars with mates from other manufacturers back in the say !
Again a pleasure to get a more detailed impression of these cars
Iain your videos are easily amongst the best on RUclips by a long, long way. Thanks for sharing and posting.
What a treat Mr. Tyrrell is: extremely knowledgeable and personable. One of my Top 3 Channels on RUclips.
Oh I would dearly love to live in a world where this channel is watched by millions and Doug DeMuro is the small channel.
Great channel and lovely explanaitions of the cars.
I would pay to work at Tyrrell's workshop, what a wealth of knowledge and craftsmanship.
Only found this channel a week ago and it's already in my top 5, brilliant, hope it continues for a long time.
I like the ergonomically odd radio mount at the top of the windshield. Keeps the center of the instrument panel much cleaner looking. The engine is all the sound this car needs!
Watching your videos feels really good. This is well paced, with loads of informations and knowledge from a really humble, well spoken sharing guy. I'm glad I discovered your chanel through Harry's one and I have to say, I love it. It's been frustraring looking for cars channel thar are not bragging etc but more informative about the history, the mechanics and all. It's like I found a unicorn. Thank you Iain, your team and sponsors.
After watching your videos, I do want an old italian V12 at home and for that, I do not thank you. Cheers
Hard to say just how happy these videos make me feel, Thanks Iain
A truely wonderful program, for anyone wanting an informed , classy , automotive education. Thankyou Iain.
Brilliant
What an amazing channel, first class! Could listen to Iain all day...and night. Great job 👏
A lovely car to own. Thanks for the interesting video!
Iain,
Brilliant introduction to the Jarama series-thank you. I couldn't help noticing the ammeter was almost pegged at 40+ with the voltmeter towards the lower end of the green. Presumably this was no cause for concern in itself, perhaps the car had been sitting a while and the battery needed topping up? In normal circumstances you'd hope to see the ammeter reading only slightly into the positive, yes?
I'm loving all the Lamborghini content on your channel. Keep up the great work please!
Best,
Brett
I can't say I'm over fond of the styling, but the history makes it appealing. That and the V12!
12.33 Oh yes... bags of power there... so understated
Thanks Iain. I really appreciate your simple low intrusive approach to maintenance.
Magnificent! Thank you
Another classic, many thanks Iain, brilliant, well presented and very informative as always.
In America that car would be in a garage hiding, not driven by an owner unwilling o drive it. So glad to see euro drivers actually drive their cars. Thank you for such great content.
