  • Inspired by the Charlatans, Ivan set about building a special based on the winning 1913 Indianapolis Peugeot using his Hall-Scott aero engine.
    In this video, Ivan starts to explain how he did it, giving detail on the water cooling system, the suspension, the bodywork, the dash, the exhaust and much much more

    You should not worry about the people being disinterested in your video's Ivan, you have the most interesting channel on RUclips, obviously you will not appeal to the masses, but that is the point, you do appeal to those who have a sense of the value of interesting things, exclusive people I suppose, so keep putting out these gems for the enjoyment, and enlightenments of those people in the world that are special. And stay safe! Chris B.

    I totally agree. At one point I saw Suzie's face in the mirror as she patiently listened and watched this fascinating discussion. I simply love this woman and would love to meet her in person. I would like to see a video simply about her and her automobiles. I was fascinated to hear that the spindles in the front suspension were from a Bentley. Yesterday, I watched a video about the Bentley racing machines -- they were enormous and must have weighed much more than this vehicle so they are no doubt more than sufficient to turn this special. Nothing you produce is boring,, Ivan. Every video is simply fascinating.

    I recall the WWII American M25 (Dragon Wagon) tank transporters mostly ran a 17.9 litre, 6 cylinder Hall-Scott petrol engine. The tractor got its nickname because they used to spit flames out of the exhaust. Apparently they did 2 gallons per mile.

    Thanks for this which is _not_ boring! Hall-Scott is a forgotten marque these days but before and after WWII they made some of the most powerful and reliable truck and speedboat engines (all petrol) anywhere, and one of their 400-series sixes would make a potential power unit for a Brooklands special, they had 300 hp standard, I'm pretty certain more - much more - could be extracted out of one...

    I supplied Ivan with the lovely road springs a few years ago.They came from someone clearing out a widow's garage. I think her husband was associated with veteran cars. At the 2024 Beaulieu I reminded Ivan that the springs came from me and he was so pleased that we took a picture together.

    Fantastic video Ivan!!! Everything you do is so interesting!!! I am building a Morgan/MG special. I am building a 1928 Morgan Aero with an experimental opposed twin aircraft engine as the power plant. This is mated to an MG 4 speed transmission with a two piece hand cast aluminum adapter. Then the gearbox is connected to an MG differential with sweet wire wheels . Te frame is wood over steel with aircraft fabric stretched over and painted with a plasticizer dope for rigidity. I will be starting a YT channel when I get the machine shop in place when itt gets warmer.

    As an aircraft engine, they were normally mounted with the cylinders at the bottom. The consequence of this was that when the engine was left for any period if there was the slightest chance of oil congregating in the combustion chambers the propeller would have to be used to pull the engine through all the compression strokes to ensure that the engine would not "hydraulic". My guess is that the decomprssion arrangement would enable this to be easier.

    I always enjoy Ivan's Shed Racing videos because of Ivan's enthusiasm and willingness to make his projects "a proper job of it." Watching and listening to the thought and effort that goes into "a proper job" is a devotion of time (days, weeks, months, and, yes, even years ie see the video series Talley Ho). While this Shed Racing video is a very good review of the finished project, it doesn't really convey the immense time and effort of Ivan and John. The phrase, "John machined up a..." is woefully inadequate to describe the design, skill, and effort put forth. For those viewers who want to get a feel for the process, this is a good video. If you really want to "get you hands dirty," so to speak, watch Ivan's Old Boy Racer videos.
