I was so disappointed this wasn't a Binky or the transportation truck vid at first and then I got interested in his fascinating story. Thanks, and please do another vid once he's finished his project?
Me too. It's like watching a great television show that ends abruptly.
The S Cargo.
Finished his project? What channel do you think you are watching?
@@jonatanrullman Binky would never be finished, they'll always be one more job. 🛠🔧🗜
@@jonatanrullman
Well, he (unlike this pair) did set a finish date of before his 70th birthday which is later this year so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn’t get a kink for making brackets (like someone I could mention) and it takes him another decade.
What a captivating video. Love the way Neil tells a story, I was sorry to see it end. 😟
Saw Bad Obsession Motorsport popup and got all excited. But alas no binky
same =(
Same.
The car is basically done. Makes me wonder if they are waiting on other company's to make the interior for them. Been wondering on the Escargot thingy though? Not seen the lorry in ages.
Dito
Literally...the very same reaction! 😂 The last time I had this sense of anticipation was waiting for santa!
Just brilliant thank you a world without people doing things in sheds wouldn't be the world we know today
This episode was filled with emotion. This chap is an incredibly visceral character. His partner helped him recognize his passion and pushed him to pursue his dreams. This is was a very inspiring story. It all begins with a man in a shed…
And a loving wife that allows the man to be in the shed
He was very lucky to meet that lady.
The format this was done in was the winner, the narrative was continuous with no awkward questions getting in the way. My first love was Triumphs and I had a seven speed system in the 80's by leaving out the inhibitor switch and using the gear lever switch. A very good story from a well spoken and confident speaker, I wonder what instigated it.
We’ll done Richard & Ben!
Thoroughly entertaining
""we just turned up to have a sprint",, they wernt to happy with that", quality stuff. made me proper chuckle.
Too
@@troo_story rilly?
I genuinely enjoyed this one.
Thank you wholeheartedly.
With maturity comes the understanding that the world around us is not a given but the result of human ingenuity and perseverance. It is only recently that I have grasped the tenacity required to create *anything*. Each skyscraper, each suspension bridge, each vaccine, each work of art is a testament to dedication and passion. The world is an immense museum of human effort, each creation whispering stories of pursued dreams and challenges overcome.
I "only" have a lowly 1976 Spitfire but the Triumph roadsters are so endearing. Listening to this gentleman's tail of his lifelong passion is inspiring.
Tale
I love the lines of the spitfire.
Great job Richard. What a great story to tell. Absolutely fascinating.
Fantastic all round. Amazing photography, editing, music. What a tip bloke. So easy to listen to talking. And something that is often overlooked but clear to see in this film, is a loving, understanding and supportive wife!
A very good video documenting a man and his passion for Triumph TR's. His collection looks beautiful and it's great that some get driven.
Wonderful presentation! I was a young boy in the 60s and my father owned a TR 2 (along with several Corvettes). I loved that car so much, the sound of the engine, the interior, the smells, the swooping doors, oh and that steering wheel 😁. I can remember going for rides and how cool it felt. The only other car I've been as fond of was the Morgan (I reckon circa 50s) a neighbor owned. So I was the little guy on the street that was lucky enough to have ridden (quite frequently) in two very iconic automobiles. I'd give honorable mention to the Model A and Model T another neighbor had fully restored that I was also lucky enough to ride in frequently but they had nothing on the lovely British Motorcars I still so much love today (and I'm in my early 60s now).
Ben- your best work! A wonderful story, wonderfully told...
Thank you
A Triumph in more ways than one. Brilliant.
Absolutely loved that. Nice to get insight into how these vital businesses came about. Without them, so many lovely cars wouldn't be around.
Brilliant story and so well narrated, loved it 👍
What a interesting man, I could listen to his stories all night! Once again a brilliant variation of subject for the BOM channel, well done guys!!!
This is one of the most lovely documentaries that I have seen in the last 40 years. Quiet, intimate and amazing in the gentle way that Mr. Revington shared his life story and how his passion for Triumph cars has helped thousands of others to enjoy them as well. I have resisted the temptation of the TR6 - one of the most beautiful cars to ever turn a wheel, due to the reports of the flawed handling and nimpressive speed. THis has made me rethink that conclusion.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Absolutely superb i loved every minute of this and how great it is the original tr2 he bought he still owns and enjoys.
Absolutely knocked it out of the park, well done chaps.
Nice guy Neil, unassuming, humble and nice to chat with.
Thank you for this.
I just spent the last 30 minutes with the biggest smile on my face. It hurts now, but totally worth it.
What a ripper bloke! Full credit for everything he’s done with, and for, Triumphs.
I loved this video even though I have no special connection to Triumphs. The production shows the superb taste and passion for excellence that has been the hallmark of Project Binky. Getting all the archival footage must have been a significant challenge. As others have said, I also didn't want it to end. Thank you so much!
Good video. A company that keep s triumphs going. I had a TR 3A & Tr4A in the 1960s &1970s.. Loved them.
What a great interview, and Neil Revington is a very interesting man for all of ua Triumph owners and enthusiast. Fantastic job, Bob
What a lovely personal history story of TR motoring, thank you so much!
Thank U for this beautiful and riviting video about this man and his passion, slash LOVE, of one fasset of the automotive industry!!
What a story! I had a passion for Triumph motorcycles, and my first British motorcycle was a great 1958 650cc vertical twin Triumph Tiger!!!! My love for British machines was born!!! It has never left me...nor I, left it!!!!! Thank U all so much! I enjoyed every second...!!!
Big fan of Binky. Loved this video too. Great production.....please keep them coming....👌👍
This is a wonderful watch, thank you.
Speaking of Jimmy McRae. My dad gave him his last Rolo when they met at the Mintex. I was mortified, had had my eye on it for ages.
This was done brilliant ! Such nice story telling, beautiful arranged, well toned narranting, well placed foottage and all the right music ! Impressive work ! A so much different thing of a kind than a Binky or Escarcot episode but a beauty by itself.
Thoroughly engrossing content, what a great a humble guy he is! He sure can pedal a car too!
Well done BOM chaps!!! Enjoyed every minute...:-)
Tremendous film, thanks BOM!
Damn you guys have beaten the pros at this, that was BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
What a good storyteller and great video to convey the story. It’s also great to see someone who actually drives their collectables instead of letting them collect dust
Thanks so much for this. These long form interviews are fantastic and the production values are awesome. Can’t wait for more of these great stories. Cheers.
Fantastic piece of video journalism, better than some telly programs ! - a great mix of original live action, factual interview and historic footage, superbly edited with the funk soundtrack - well done !
Excellent documentation! Thanks.
Thanks. My Mom had a small grill 57' TR3. Brings back a lot of memories growing up in that car..
What an excellent piece of video. I have always lusted for a tr5.
Thank you for putting this film together. Cheers!
I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Everything about it was excellent. Thank you to every one concerned.
So much enjoyed, thank you.
This was a treat. Thank you.
Love the video - as many have said the passion of Mr. Revingtion comes through in every frame.
One small quibble - The Shell 4000 rally was completely in Canada, not the States. My dad Jim Gunn organized all of these coast to coast rally's from 1961 to 1968 plus the 1971 BC Centennial.
Another great video! Takes me back to when I was lucky enough to drive my dad's TR6. The straight 6 pulling in third to third overdrive! Love it!
Really enjoyed the vid guys, thank you!
A great story, told in such an absorbing way. Neil is a national treasure, surely.
Nice to see so many historic cars being given a new lease of life, long may it last!
It's awesome to see you have further immortalized someone that has done so much not only in the Triumph community but as a racer/builder. Beyond exceptional work.
Top bit of content. Magnificent story told. Thanks for sharing BOM.
Absolutely wonderful video! Thanks a lot 👍
Thanks guys, really enjoyed this.Good job. Well done
Another FANTASTIC story. Thanks for sharing, guys!
Fantastic! I could honestly watch 6 more hours of Neil showing us the stuff they build and vintage footage. Can't wait for the next Classic episode! Cheers from Chicago!
Well done! What an amazing story to still have his first car all these years later.
Wonderful! Thank you.
Fantastic camera work and overall production is the cherry on top. Well done!
Superb. I love the way it's just his story. No interruptions.
What a lovely story.
Thanks guys.
I'm so impressed that on one hand you can make a silly video about 2 blokes fixing a car in a garage, and then on the other hand make a proper documentary with beautiful photography showing a person's commitment to his passion and career. That guitar riff in the background was used about 20 times more than necessary though.
I bought an enormous amount of performance parts from TR Revington spares! The person I always spoke with was named Martin. This is going back into the 1980s or 1990s I forgot which. But in any event, the parts made my TR six very special indeed, and I miss it.
Met Neil in the early 1980's at a TR register annual event at Malvern. Put a smile on our faces with his wit & wry humour. Happy memories. We share his passion for TR's & great to here his story, long may it continue.
That was awesome. More of these rarely or untold stories would be great.
Beautiful video! Wasn't expecting it, hope we get more!
