Lamborghini Miura S - Road-Testing a Complete Ground-up Restoration | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2021
- This stunning gold Lamborghini Miura S has undergone a complete ground-up rotisserie restoration under the care and attention of Iain and his team. Having featured in previous workshop catch-ups, including details of the reworking of the front-end to match the original factory spec, the car is now looking the part, and that means it's time to start slowly bringing the car to life through careful road-testing, a process that can often be a significant chunk of the total restoration time. Ride along with Iain as his years of experience working with Miuras allows him to pin-point the issues that require further attention back at the workshop. All being well, Iain can hopefully start to open her up and allow that glorious V12 to sing once again!
Thank you once again to everyone for the overwhelming reception of these videos and for all the support of likes, subscribes and wonderful comments.

The front fog lights were one of the last parts to go on the car as part of the new front-end, but don’t worry folks, the loose one was fully secured shortly after these shakedown miles.
Just in time:)..
Luv your channel buddy , cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 👍🏻
Came here to leave this comment, but of course your eagle eye has it sorted. Amazing work on this beauty!
I doubt many owners would be driving their million £ car in the fog.
Thank goodness for that!
I am a crusty old engineer of 60 years and I don't hand out compliments easily... but this Gentleman is one of the great Engineers of our time. The knowledge in his brain is priceless and not replaceable.
There is something very calming and reassuring in his voice. Calm from experience, reassuring from knowledge. What a pleasure to watch and enjoy. Few men, irrespective of occupation, carry that confidence with ease
This channel is outstanding….I could listen to Ian talk all day about cars….I’m glad Harry talked him into doing this channel. Just brilliant!
Lovely! Right fog light is shaking a lot though!
Yep, offside front fog light needs a nip up.
A toothpick jammed in there would fix it 😉
@@ianstoys13mgs to quote the man himself
Yeah, I noticed right away!
Something that would only be noticed from reviewing the video or camera man and not by anybody when rolling in or out of the garage.
_"... which means I've got to put them through their paces when they're done"._ It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.
Not sure whether I’d rather drive a Miura, or be passed by one, it looks so damn good flying by.
I'd rather be passed by one.......lovely looking car but the maintenance issues and up keep would be my idea of a nightmare. The owner has done well finding Ian's workshop, some seriously capable people in that team, real quality , so good to be able to watch the skill and craftsmanship.
After seeing how Iain's head is pressed hard into the roof, I'm pretty sure I'd rather see the car from the outside rather than the inside.
I'd rather have it in my garage to look at it everyday and drive it once a week.
@@Danny-wv8ec I'd rather just watch it on video, I wouldn't want to own any of those things even if I was a multimillionaire. I was offered a Dino really cheap once, I had the money to buy it but decided not to do it because of the maintenance costs to it. I gave up owning any cars a while back, now I just call a Taxi and it is a lot cheaper. Still love cars for what they are but have no desire to own one, been there, done that, didn't even get a tshirt lol.
@@noth606 i live in Beirut, Lebanon and we’re in a tough economic/political situation now and i can’t even maintain my 2015 E350 Coupe and my Jeep. I’m 37 and i haven’t owned any vintage cars but my dream vintage car to own is a Corvette Stingray. I won’t even dream of owning a Miura.
Tyrrell's Classic Workshop is the kind of place where you would enjoy spending money to get work done. True value.
Excellent video! I remember working for Ferrari Suisse back in the late 90ies when, one early morning, I watched the offloading of a 288GTO which was quite a sight after a strong espresso… so early... But when they offloaded a pristine Miura S and parked it next to the GTO with an engine noise to die for, the whole premises went bezerk! The Ferraristi were yelling blasphemy wheras I praised the Lord and knelt in front of the beauty to take pictures. The Miura is the most beautiful car ever built, period.
Whenever I watch one of Iain’s videos, I am COMPELLED to go to my own classic car and start tinkering with it. Every time. I call it the ‘Tyrrell effect’.
My mom and dads neighbor has a Miura, he’s had it for 40 years. Still looks new. And you always knew when he drove it because everyone heard it fired up. Great beautiful car.
@@qtronicqilt8898 Lol no, no video.
Can l get the address so l can make him an offer? If l were you l would be selling my house and knocking on his door
sound investment that
@@watda011 It’ll go to his son pretty soon, I’m guessing. He’s older now. He has 5 cars that 1960’s 70’s Aston Martin etc
What colour is it?
I'm learning proper English through your videos,cheers))
Lovely episode, really nice, and kind of an honor really, to be invited into the magical realm of your workshop, and to share into the finer motions of the craftsmanship.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking sir!
I've done my own restoration actually on a classic car over the weekend. I topped up the windscreen washer bottle on my 1979 Ford Capri. Very satisfying in the end to feel the difference to the way the car drove afterwards, absolutely smooth as silk.
You’re such a card, old chap 😄,
I get the same feeling when I put the right amount of air in my tyres.
rebalanced the centre of gravity
and made a good car a brilliant one
Open a bottle of champagne to celebrate... champagne and a video of Ian Tyrrell driving and talking about a Miura pops up on RUclips. Lovely.
the camera images from inside the engine compartment are great!
Agreed! I actually paused the video to take note of the detail. Class. 👌🏻
In my opinion one of the best looking cars ever made. I first saw one around the late 60s outside a garage in Mansfield Notts, I believe it was Twiggys then boyfriends car. Bright lime green with all the trim in matt black, stunning. Loved them ever since.
The Muira is one of the most beautiful cars ever. Great restoration!
Jack
Wonderful to get a glimpse into the shakedown of a beautiful Miura S. An immense amount of work goes into making everything work correctly, and that's what separates the good from the great.
I hope these videos are doing wonders for your business Ian? You and the team deserve to be household names worldwide in what you do. Top job once more. Thanks for letting us live the dream through the lens.
You are literally going back into a time warp and experiencing what someone buying one of these new would have experienced, if anything, slightly better as you pay such attention to detail and know any weak spots and therefore pay even more attention to get those details just right. A real pleasure to watch.
What an inspiring guy Ian tyrrell is , a true genius at his craft, couldn’t wait to view when my phone pinged , well done Ian for the entertaining content on your channel.
So rare to see such an valuable car put through its paces and do what it was designed to do. What a treat!
After enjoying this great video, I can't help to think how fortunate the Belgian customer must be watching it too and feeling absolutely confident in the result of the total restauration! Another job well done!
That Belgian customer will surely be very happy when he gets it back. Beautiful work. Amazing car.
Lovely car. Anyone else notice the o's fog light appeared to be wobbling a little? You wouldn't notice it from inside the vehicle.
Yes - I did..... then I read Iain’s blurb..... which answered problem
Yes i did but was distracted and learnt more. Have a good day Sir/Madam.
Yes Seen it... Great car!
Thank you , feels like I’ve witnessed something historic . I’m sure the lucky owner has watched this video a hundred times .
I fear that he probably owns two or three dozen expensive cars, and hasn’t yet had the time to watch this.
Imagine seeing that marvellous beast on the prowl as you’re driving the opposite way.
I live down the road from his workshop and always look out as I go down the lanes but to date I've never seen him pass me in any car
@@rickyprice7586 Same - I saw the BMW M1 being filmed a few weeks back. Great catch 😊
@@daubentonsbat4257 both
What a marvelous episode of TCW! Iain's joy is immediately apparent the moment he sits inside and his shop vernacular is just wonderful. Such a charming fellow, just oozing with knowledge and so generously shared too. TCW never fails to leave me smiling with a wide petrol-infused grin. Thank you so much.
My favorite all time supercar. Raw yet elegant, absolutely stunning.
I love that you don't just restore the car and deliver a show or museum piece, but you fully sort it out so it's delivered as functional as it was when new.
What can I say, another fascinating insight in to proper old school car engineering, Im totaly hooked and cant get enough.
Thanks Mr Tyrrell.
Wonderful restoration. The skill involved in replacing the floor and swapping the front end was a joy to behold. Amazing car, just as it should be. Well done team Tyrrell.
Lovely to see these old things put right.
Have to admit, I was distracted like hell with that light doing a death wobble. Just loosen the other one up to bring it to factory specs.
At the end the car is perfect but if you watch this video you will see the off side under light shaking! But this is far better than JC on Top Gear shouting about the car - you have lovingly rebuilt it and now fine tuning all of it bit by bit. What a pleasure to get it right and to see you doing it. Fantastic work all round.
I can imagine the bill of the restoration. It contains 'some' 0 characters I think. But on the other hand the work is beautiful! Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the project! Signore Lamborghini would be proud.
Hard to believe how stunning the design and engineering are to this very day. Just amazing in every way.
Stunning piece of art restored to perfection.
And then that wonderful, wonderful inside-of-the-engine-bay view!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Complete Miura S restoration. None better than Tyrrell if you want it to be done right. Gonna settle in, kick back and watch.
A “shed load” of work, yes. Brilliant!
Another brilliant video thanks👍,
Would love to see a Jaguar E type soon😉👍👍👍
Still one of the most beautiful looking and sounding cars ever to hit the road, a few design flaws notwithstanding. Still looks completely modern 50 years on. A true classic is always timeless
"When you're driving a car that's worth more than £1m..." - would love to see the exclusions and the excess on the Tyrrell insurance policy!
At least they know a good repair shop
With a high enough excess/deductible, the premium can be quite reasonable.
A mate has a ridiculous car collection (including a Miura), but his insurance isn’t astronomical, because his excess is!
Your editing has improved a lot: I like the support during the explanations. Very well done.
Props to the crew for the gear graphics 👍🏻 Great stuff and a great video!
So much attention to detail, beautifully eloquent and such a joy to watch and listen to Iain. I love the Gear selector Graphic as Marcus was stirring the box. I'm hooked on this channel now and getting stuck into some serious binge watching. :0)
Stunning restoration! I admire your sensitivity to these machines. While my own classic is a simple MG Midget, I’ve kept it alive and happy for over twenty-five years by paying attention to its little noises and vibrations, and dealing with issues promptly. Keep up the excellent work! I really enjoy your videos.
Well done again on a great video. Keep it up.
Fancy telling Ian that that this and that arnt quite right expecting him not to know when he lives and breathes the damn things! Like the camera man never noticed or the viewing by all in the business and all the editing work, 50 people saying the lights moving ....yeah obviously 🙈. 24 min of brilliant TV I say. Vroom Vroom.
The best looking Lambo for me. What a great car and superb restoration. Thanks for that.
Guess I'm not the first to see the right side fog lamp bouncing around. Glad you've got people to watch your back. Great resto..love it. Keep the vids coming! I am living my child & adulthood fantasy thru you...:)
I'm watching this, while having a wine and eating my favourite crisps: Tyrrell's salt & vinegar. Love the wine, love the crisps, but this video beats it.
Stunning. It's amazing to see that you "bed" yourself and the car into each other. Just like a long term owner would. I have a small inkling of this from my years of bike ownership: Take it apart, fix it, try it out gently, feel where it needs attention, attend to those areas, then ease your trust into it. Marvellous. Iain, if I ever hit the big time, I'll be round to your's to fettle my classic. (Don't hold your breath, though! Big time hasn't hit yet.)
This is a master, master mechanic! It’s incredible how he tones these cars
I love your car restorations and reviews of exotic cars. These cars are far too expensive for most people's pockets, but when you drive them, you describe exactly how they drive to the viewer which is much appreciated. My favourite car you have restored is the Toyota 2000gt followed by the Ferrari Dino 246 GTS. Thank you for a great you tube channel.
looks absolutely gorgeous, a credit to you and your workers.
It just occurred to me that a good portion of the miles on a lot of classic cars were put on them by mechanics that were working on them. One of the many perks of the job.
What a truly wonderful watch on a Sunday night. Thank you Mr Tyrrell.
Brilliant job ! To get an insight view in your workshop is a great honor.
These videos are excellent - I love seeing these amazing machines prepared "as proper working cars" and further elevated to "machines of action and intensity". I really appreciate seeing Ian and team's passion for keeping these classics road ready and capable for what they were designed to do.
It's been an absolute pleasure watching this car being restored on your channel, Iain. Big congratulations to you and your team.
Congrats on the restoration Iain! She's beautiful Once again, thanks for sharing her with us.
Brilliant! Thank you for a behind the scenes walk through of your work on this beautiful car. A job well done and an excellent video. ❤️
This mans knowledge needs to be harnessed. I hope young aspiring mechanics are beating down his door to soak up that knowledge
hear hear !!
Imagine being an apprentice for Ian?
Oh to be 17 again…
@Stephen Schneider Believe me, they have plenty of money, based on what they charge. And fair enough, they do works class work.
Ian is obviously eating well 😂
@Stephen Schneider said like a true capitalist!
that's what comes of apprenticing at RR back in the day
Fantastic work Iain! Thank you for sharing the Miura with us. I know the owner will love it and hopefully drive it a lot to share its beauty with more people.
Fast becoming one of my favourite channels. Well done to all involved.
My favourite classic super car. This Is amazing to watch! Well done to all of you guys.
I love this episode Tyrell the miura SV it's one of the sexiest cars ever built
13 April 1971, garage in Knightsbridge, second day of married life, waiting 2 hours for the coach to the airport. Parked outside was a purple one of these. Didn't know it was there until the bus pulled out of the station doors. Happy days.
Brilliant, thanks Iain for a great video. Good to know even the pros are nervous at their own work. Please, more videos like this one. It's a great insight for us mere mortals and our simple everyday classic car restorations!
It’s like restoring one of the most beautiful paintings or a work of art. Just wow! Couldn’t smash the like button hard enough! Love this channel. Thanks for sharing T!
Yes that foglight needs a bit of cardboard jammed in it Ian.
I thought the same. Although, wondered if Ian might use Blu Tack on a vehicle of this heritage. :D
@@onefive95 - Good idea, but chewing gum is cheaper
LOL!
No dodgy repairs at this level.
For me, visually still the most stunning car built. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad you sorted the fog light. What a lovely car & what a great restoration!
Several Countaches I know of or maintain have been driven at such speeds. They are very stable. Thanks for your interest
10:26 - if the chap on the pavement had been me then I'd not be chatting with my friend while a Miura drove past. Young people, eh? ;)
Jay Kay had the right idea, what did he say about his Miura? Something like “young kids these days don’t get to see these cars because owners keep them hidden away. They need to be used”
Love vintage Lamborghinis with no Audi influence 👍
Good point, well made.
a 50 year old car with timeless beauty...just cannot stop admiring the lines of this beast...
Great video as usual! Love it!
Looks fabulous, Check the offside spotlight though!
Driver side fog light shaking a bit at 4:09. Beautiful car!
customer states: driver side fog light loose.... nope!
*Passenger side.
another great video
Im glad you tightened the loose fog light
cheers from Canada!
Love it…my ultimate dream car, ever since I saw one at brands hatch in the paddock in 1970/71..
Like now, watch later. Gotta get the BBQ started!
Beer and burgers👍 A Muira for sweet👍
Same here-Just got rid of guests,time for the vid.
I suppose Mr. Tyrrell noticed the loose right front foglight while editing the video. What a glorious car!
I suppose the guy in the support car did too.
Thanks for taking us with you on that. I felt like I was with you on a PDI from the factory 50 years ago...especially with the frontal shots out on the road...looked like a sunny spring morning in northern Italy back in the day. I was at the Lamborghini museum a coupe of years ago and there was an identical speced Muira S there then.
Oh what a wonderful video as usual!! Thank you really much!
restoring someone else's car is like planning a wedding. the smallest mistakes can have the most enormous consequences because you're dealing with people's dreams.
It’s a huge responsibility undertaking a restoration with a car of this value, the man puts his reputation on the line, no wonder he sets it up depending on which side of the road it’s driven, just wish he’d look after my VW Touran for me 🤷
Fabulous job, thank you for sharing!
Wonderful, thanks Iain.
10:25 that couple on the sidewalk not even a glance at the passing Miura as if it's nothing. Kids these days ... : )
Well spotted. Imagine not appreciating a Miura?
I guess for them it's not such a rare sight as Iain drives these classic beauties there all the time... 😉
New generations always have a different perspective on things, it may be that exotic car prices will eventually start declining especially as they become more difficult or even impossible to keep running with resources like Mr Tyrell becoming scarcer and scarcer.
An amazing restoration. When I saw the work on the chassis, it was assembled like an old airplane. And had the same corrosion issues as old airplanes.
Beautiful car and a beautiful restoration. I can't help thinking how small it seems compared to modern vehicles but that's how things were back then. Not so much motor car, more a piece of engineering art and long may it live.
I'm glad you fixed the light watching it vibrate was like an itch you can't scratch
Once back with an owner will it ever get driven though? 🤔
How do you know? Don't make assumptions and even then, it's their car to do with as they please.
@@ashterfadgadget817 it is a question, check the construct of my grammar. An assumption would not end with a question mark. I am posing a question for debate, NOT an assumption. An assumption would read like ‘the new owner won’t drive the car’. Come on man, get it together, it’s basic grammar.
@@julian987r4 I have checked your grammar. You forgot the comma after 'owner' and I have also taken the liberty of correcting other errors. It should read: "Once back with its owner, will it ever be driven?"
@@ashterfadgadget817 oy vey, some people.
Always find myself waiting for another video. Brilliant as always. More please!
Great video. For viewer enjoyment feedback that particular camera angle along with sound at 20.43 minutes in around the sweeping bend gave a feel for the car.
Ian is an artist, not a mechanic.
I guess the whole team isn't too shabby... 😉
The English restorations of these classic Italian sports cars is way better than what is done in the U.S. In the U.S they over-restore them, making them way more perfect than what they were originally. In the UK and in the European continent, they bring these cars back to a state that is far more accurate to what these cars were actually like when they rolled off the production line in the 50s, 60s and 70s, thus being more historically honest, sympathetic, and correct. The Pebble Beach look, as I call it, ruins these cars.
Sadly it happens here in Europe too.
But they are rarely driven.
The cars shown here are will see more action than just getting parked on some snobby lawn once a year.
You really wouldnt expect anything less from Ian. He is the best in the world after all.
Really enjoyed this installment! Superb restoration, absolutely stunning.
