I’ve just discovered this channel probably last week, and being a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, it’s already become my favorite automotive channel on RUclips. Brilliant variety of cars, attention to detail and information. Iain is an absolute genius and has incredible taste, although is too humble to admit it of course. He is an amazing wealth of knowledge, but also a GREAT guy in every way. Keep up the great work!! 😊
Y'know what: they all deserve to be featured. The Mini because everyone can relate to one, the Vanquish and DMC12 because all we know about these is from films. The Esprit because of the adage Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious - are they? The Bentley, e-type and Testarossa I think we've already seen? Show the Esprit first. I've loved that car ever since The Spy who Loved Me...
Esprit!! I’ve always wondered why you’ve never had an Esprit to show us. For those of us who will never be able to afford a Countach or Muira, the Esprit has always been the attainable dream car.
Each time I see one of these videos I'm reminded of the incredible skill and talent that exists in the UK's "cottage industry." Here in Western Canada I can only watch with envy at England's hundreds or thousands of small automotive shops full of world class craftsmen and trades. Each marque seems to have dozens of excellent specialists to choose from. Where I am, a city the size of Birmingham, I can think of maybe 3 places I could trust with a pre-war car restoration, all with a 3-5 year wait list... I wish container prices would go down so I could just ship my cars over for work every few years!
Thanks! Espirits always seem to have 8500 miles or less. In my DC days, I had an exotic car dealer I knew and he always had a low mileage Espirit. "They buy it, get scared to death every time they drive it, let it sit, and trade it away." Sad fate. Be well!
@tommytraddles Lotus owners kind of expect those things. The Europa battery would tip over and spill battery acid in sharp cornering, which is why you bought a Europa (cornering, that is). Easy remedy, pretty sure the factory didn't address it until near the production run ended. Classic Hethel
Honestly, take them in ANY order, Iain: the genius of this channel is your ability to heighten our appreciation of all cars. I see Camargues, Citroen SM's, Capri Mk1's, Rover SD1's, etc. very differently as a result of your engineer-led insights.
Wonderful to see such varied content, whether the Jaguar IRS sitting on a bench or giving details on that Rolls Royce restoration. Fabulous to see a Spanish registered Lamborghini in your workshop too!
I would love to see an in depth video on the Esprit. My first drive of a proper sports car back in the 80s was my bosses Esprit S3. I've loved them ever since.
Hello Iain , it gets never boring watching your videos. I’m not a car maniac but it’s so interesting listening to your explanations. Whatever year you gonna select it will be worth it to watch. You never run short on work as your workshop is always full of beautiful cars. 😊😊😊
Ryan did a sublime job on the Muira. Indeed, it was painted in lime. I love the shout-out and the combined paradym association of subLime and its colour .
It has to be the Esprit as it is perhaps the most interesting though I'd love to see a piece on the Vanquish. I grew up on Minis so that also though the interwebs is full of quality Mini content.
Dear Mr. Tyrrell, if a multiple choice is not an option, my vote would be going to the Esprit. Thank you so much for the exquisite content you delight us with.
Wow! Superb channel, excellent presenter and wonderful cars. Couldn't ask for more. That black Lamborghini Countach 5000 in the background, on a Spanish number plate......... you clearly have a array of clients from near AND far! That number plate is from April 2004 though, so imported or re-registered, wondering what the back story is on that one. Looking forward to seeing any of the cars you mention in the video.
The E-type IRS was popular with reasonably well-off hot rodders in the 1960s and '70s. It looked good at the back end of a T-bucket, and was reasonably accessible when not buried under an E- or S-type. A quality Mini restoration would make an interesting contrast to the complexity of exotics.
I really don't mind which car you feature first, Iain. Your enthusiasm for your charges is one of this Channel's most appealing features, so whatever makes you feel good makes me feel good, too. But that's sitting on the fence, isn't it. Sorry. All right, then - the Mini. No, the Lotus. No, the Mini. Hmm.🤔 Can't decide. I used to look quite good in a mini(skirt), but not when sitting in the lotus position...😲
MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI!👍 FYI - back in 1988, a friend and I drove a 62 Mini Countryman Woody (with a 1200 motor) from San Jose California to New Jersey. The car ran like a dream, though it did struggle a bit climbing through the Rocky Mountain passes. We also hit a terrible rain storm in Nebraska, where the meager performance of the windshield wipers had us both entertained and terrified!😬👍

I can’t decide! They are all great cars even in their various states of repair. That Jaguar IRS unit should be a museum exhibit. The work that you folks do is incredibly pleasing.
I just knew the Mini would come out swinging as the peeps’ favourite!! Glad the intuition still works occasionally. I’m entirely disinterested (proper usage) because I’m interested in all of them. All I ask is that, so long as you enjoy making the videos as a team, please carry on!!
As a total 'petrol head' and classic car fanatic I always enjoy 'tour's around your 'Toy shop' as there are so many beautiful and interesting cars to see, more please.
Good evening Iain . Without doubt , the best on you tube .. That Lamborghini ......Jay Kay ? Back in the '70's and '80's I restored more mini's than counted sheep ! But today , there are specialists out there who have far more knowledge than myself. As always lain , thankyou Sir !
There’s not a single car there that I wouldn’t want to see a video on, all wonderful cars! I’d love to see more in-depth on the Esprit as that was a car that I fell in love with after seeing The Spy Who Loved Me back when I was about eight years old! Great to see another ketchup video, it’s always good to see the diversity of the work at Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop.
Good evening, Mr Tyrrell I absolutely love your catch up videos always find it interesting to see what you have in the workshop and I always learn something new which I find fascinating thank you very much Tristan
Looking forward to the Lotus as an interesting light restoration project, and the Mini for its simplicity. Both of these will be good palate-cleansers in contrast to the plutocrats-only cars
Yes Finally👍🏻 worth the wait😍😍😍 Can't tell you how excited I'm when I see this notification on my phones screen😅 Thanks for sharing Sir IAIN, Love your work, Stay Blessed🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Years ago I had 3 Minis (1000, 1300 carb - the beast - , 1300 SPI) and despite to be happy now driving my 26 year old Benz, I would appreciate a Tyrrell's workshop with this nice looking example. They were devilish little things but they were also a lot of fun.
Given free reign, personally I'd like to see the E-Type bodywork and rear suspension rebuild detailed (it looks like it is done already, so it may not be possible), the Lotus Esprit, and then the Vanquish. The Testarossa, Mini, and Bentley can be done in any order you or the shop would like.
Dream garage! thanks IT! I only got 8 years and im retired, was thinkin with a machinist, fabricator, engineering background. I could work for pints and fish and chips. A little cottage in the back I’ll be fine. cheers🍻
I have been watching your videos for a year or two now and did not realize until I saw the rear end of a Tornado in the background of one of your shots that your shop is based at an airfield. As an airplane guy, and to lesser extent a car guy, that is a neat place to have your shop at least in my opinion.
Your workshop is a charm. I'd love to see the mini and your thought process on it, like the customer list of things to be checked/done/monitored AND Alex extra mile that will put the cherry on top of the cake (and consolidate your trademark)
Thanks Iain, I became a member too! Difficult to chose: top 3: Esprit, Mini, E-type! Love them all, curious about the outsider, DeLorean, because we don't see them that much!🙏👍
Ian, love your channel. Really surprised you personally responded to my comment regarding the GTC with the roof chopped. I've never had anyone actually respond to any comment I made before. And such a long and detailed explanation of this unusual roof treatment. Made me love your channel even more. Thx
Hi Iain. My suggestion on the first car to film is the Mk1 Mini. But in saying that, I'm guessing the next car that you film will be the first car that is ready so all good no matter what car is next. I'm surprised that you cannot get a set of rotors for the Aston Martin, surely there is an aftermarket supplier that could supply an appropriate set of discs. Fun fact. Ian Callum was the designer for Holden Special Vehicles during the mid 90's.
Aha! it was well worth staying up a bit past my bedtime just to see your latest video! Thank you as always for the “Ketchup”! As you said please make a video on the Mini! If possible please also do one on the R56 (I own one and love it to bits - in fact I did a 100km joy ride in it just this morning!). It was great to see that gorgeous DeLorean. Such a wonderful car that was so ahead of its time. I still think John (DeLorean) was unfairly set up by the DEA guys. So sad. He did come across as a highly charismatic man.

Thank you!
I like when I can trace them the MOT history of the cars you show, and the silver cloud YSU 253 doesn't exist, probably on a different plate now.
Welcome!
where you been - Mars !!!
A day in the workshop is always a great day. Best garage content on RUclips by far! Love the channel Ian.
Thank you!
Y'know what: they all deserve to be featured. The Mini because everyone can relate to one, the Vanquish and DMC12 because all we know about these is from films. The Esprit because of the adage Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious - are they? The Bentley, e-type and Testarossa I think we've already seen?
Show the Esprit first. I've loved that car ever since The Spy who Loved Me...
Thanks for that
The V12 Vanquish is my dream car, I hope we get several videos about it!
The paintwork on that Miura is a genuine masterpiece.
Quite frankly I'm happy to watch anything in any order by you guys 👍
Videos on Mini and Lotus Not the Aston or DMC
Amongst the exotica, I confess a love of the mk1 mini, mostly the quirky minimalist doors and the floor starter.
Simply the best. And, oh, that 80s Lotus ❤
The Lotus is my top choice. So many childhood memories of wanting one.
I'm reliably informed that rear brake discs for the Vanquish are more difficult to find than flux capacitors for the DeLorean DMC.
Nay milad, na-hay. Tha can gerrum on’t th’eBay easy enough like. Burrif tha wants a workin’ one, tha’s gorra gerron Wish :) :)
1- Lotus, 2- Mini, 3-Aston
Agreed. 👍
Upvoting in agreement!
I'd vote on the Esprit next, then perhaps the DMC-12 and finally the Aston. Thanks for the catch-up!
Simply the best automotive video channel on the internet. Thank you for another entertaining and educational video!
Thank you!
Great workshop tour as always. All of the vehicles deserve a video, the red Lamborghini is a real classic.
Thanks
Go for the Mini love a mk1 Mini
SubLIME job on the Miura. What a subtle and neat joke.
Esprit!! I’ve always wondered why you’ve never had an Esprit to show us. For those of us who will never be able to afford a Countach or Muira, the Esprit has always been the attainable dream car.

Here in Western Canada I can only watch with envy at England's hundreds or thousands of small automotive shops full of world class craftsmen and trades.

Such a lovely story, do keep up the tradition - love the educational tuch.
Thank you

Interesting….. thanks!
I thought it was because they were unreliable and parts almost impossible to get!
@tommytraddles Lotus owners kind of expect those things. The Europa battery would tip over and spill battery acid in sharp cornering, which is why you bought a Europa (cornering, that is). Easy remedy, pretty sure the factory didn't address it until near the production run ended. Classic Hethel
Yes to videos on everything! This is where we come to learn
Thank you!
Honestly, take them in ANY order, Iain: the genius of this channel is your ability to heighten our appreciation of all cars. I see Camargues, Citroen SM's, Capri Mk1's, Rover SD1's, etc. very differently as a result of your engineer-led insights.
I learn something every week. Maybe my favourite channel because of that.
I'd love to see the
1. Lotus Esprit
2. Austin Mini
3. E-Type
4. DeLorean DMC 12
5. AM Vanquish, beautiful car
Would love to see the Lotus Esprit first please Iain!
Love to see the Mini - Re Furb - Thanks Derek R
I can attest that. I went to the future with the DeLorean and I've already seen the Mini video - and it is very good.
@@kingkreole9121I see what you did there...
Yeah I hit that magical 88 mph.
Do a video on them all they are all worth seeing you work your magic on
Any Aston Martin is worth a video alone, so looking forward to more of that Vanquish. Also, the Ferrari Daytona Spyder and Iso Grifo please!
The Grifo has been previously covered.
Wonderful to see such varied content, whether the Jaguar IRS sitting on a bench or giving details on that Rolls Royce restoration. Fabulous to see a Spanish registered Lamborghini in your workshop too!
A Mini episode would be absolutely lovely!
Would love to see more of the Vanquish. One of the best car designs ever!
The Vanquish first . . . I loved Iain's description of the sublime job on the lime green Miura.
I would love to see an in depth video on the Esprit. My first drive of a proper sports car back in the 80s was my bosses Esprit S3. I've loved them ever since.
Hello Iain , it gets never boring watching your videos. I’m not a car maniac but it’s so interesting listening to your explanations. Whatever year you gonna select it will be worth it to watch. You never run short on work as your workshop is always full of beautiful cars. 😊😊😊

I'd like to see the restoration work on the lawn mower 😅
My favourite would be the mini.
Thanks again for your show.
Ryan did a sublime job on the Muira. Indeed, it was painted in lime. I love the shout-out and the combined paradym association of subLime and its colour .
An accidental one that….!
It has to be the Esprit as it is perhaps the most interesting though I'd love to see a piece on the Vanquish. I grew up on Minis so that also though the interwebs is full of quality Mini content.
Once again Iain another fantastic video, please do the Mini first! In your own words Tickety-Boo!!!
I'll take it in any order, as long as you do all 3, but if I had to choose - #1 Mini, #2 Vanquish, #3 Lotus
Dear Mr. Tyrrell, if a multiple choice is not an option, my vote would be going to the Esprit.
Thank you so much for the exquisite content you delight us with.
I agree; Esprit!
Thank you!

That number plate is from April 2004 though, so imported or re-registered, wondering what the back story is on that one. Looking forward to seeing any of the cars you mention in the video.
Thanks! Not sure on the exact status of that car…..
I learned to drive in an orange MK1 Mini. Tiny little car. Love the Vanquish and Lotus too.
Mini best car ever, well the first versions. Had two of them when I was just a mere child.
The E-type IRS was popular with reasonably well-off hot rodders in the 1960s and '70s. It looked good at the back end of a T-bucket, and was reasonably accessible when not buried under an E- or S-type.
A quality Mini restoration would make an interesting contrast to the complexity of exotics.
Thanks!
Interesting as always! Would love to see both the Lotus and the Mini in detail!
Thank you Mr. Tyrrell, I do never miss a video of yours! A fan from the Netherlands.
Thank you too. Greetings to you in the Netherlands

Agreed. I NEED to know why and how Lockheed parts are in the engine bay of a Mini. Even if it's just a short, please explain this!!!
Are you voting for the Mini by any chance??:-)

I’m down for an in-depth episode on the Esprit. 🥰
The lotus, it’s a unique car, interesting restoration car
Wonderful as ever.
The Mini is a little charmer. What character.
A feature on this please!
Thank you!
The mini, yes please. Was my first car and still love them.
I can’t decide! They are all great cars even in their various states of repair.
That Jaguar IRS unit should be a museum exhibit. The work that you folks do is incredibly pleasing.
Lovely job on that E Type back axle
Beautiful cars. Speaks highly of your shop. You’ve done fine for yourself good sir! 👍🏻

Would love to see the Esprit vid, Iain 👍🏻 ...Harry has sold his Esprit and deprived us of it! 😢
Always a treat when you upload. Thanks!
I love every episode of this channel. Would like to see the Mini in detail!

Mini, Aston and then Lotus please - but happy to see them in any order.
Would love to see a detailed video on the Lotus Esprit 🙂
I do wish you done workshop tour days. I would love to be able to walk around your fantastic workshop. Great work as usual
What a collection of awesome cars to work on 😍😍😍😍😍
More great content. I do hope you tear about in the carpark in the karts (those parked next to the S2) during lunchtimes.
1st the Lotus
2nd the DeLorean
PLEASE
Love to see something on the Lotus please. Hugely underrated cars and (80’s!) looks to die for.
Years ago I had 3 Minis (1000, 1300 carb - the beast - , 1300 SPI) and despite to be happy now driving my 26 year old Benz, I would appreciate a Tyrrell's workshop with this nice looking example. They were devilish little things but they were also a lot of fun.
Thank you, again!
Thank you!
1. Lotus Esprit. 2. Aston Vanquish. 3. Mini. Thank you!
I really love this channel Ian is truly classic car entusiast and expert...he know everything about classic cars...👍😎😎
Wonderful stuff...as usual. Thank you 🙂
Please do the Mini. I'm another member of the "Mini was my first car" club.
Lotus!!!
Love the Mini and the Defender parked against the wall.
Thank you Iain. Great selection.
Given free reign, personally I'd like to see the E-Type bodywork and rear suspension rebuild detailed (it looks like it is done already, so it may not be possible), the Lotus Esprit, and then the Vanquish. The Testarossa, Mini, and Bentley can be done in any order you or the shop would like.
Thanks- not sure we can stick to that but we’ll get there in the end!
I'd really like to see the Esprit done in a video with the DeLorean so that mention could be made of Lotus' involvement with DeLorean.
I’m a Lotus nut, so the Esprit for certain. But while I’ve never had a Mini, that would be very interesting I think.
S
The Vanquish, it still looks amazing
Dream garage! thanks IT!
I only got 8 years and im retired, was thinkin with a machinist, fabricator, engineering background. I could work for pints and fish and chips. A little cottage in the back I’ll be fine. cheers🍻
It has to be the Mini please!
That Lotus sounds interesting, dont know that much about it's ins and outs. Great review as always.
I have been watching your videos for a year or two now and did not realize until I saw the rear end of a Tornado in the background of one of your shots that your shop is based at an airfield. As an airplane guy, and to lesser extent a car guy, that is a neat place to have your shop at least in my opinion.
It's Broughton airfield, also known as Hawarden, on the England/Wales border. It is home to an Airbus wing manufacturing facility.
Your workshop is a charm. I'd love to see the mini and your thought process on it, like the customer list of things to be checked/done/monitored AND Alex extra mile that will put the cherry on top of the cake (and consolidate your trademark)
See what we can do. Thanks
Good stuff. Always enjoy your show. Thx
Thank you
Automotive history + engineering geekiness and as bonus expanding my English vocabulary - enviable :)
Thank you!
Thanks Iain, I became a member too! Difficult to chose: top 3: Esprit, Mini, E-type! Love them all, curious about the outsider, DeLorean, because we don't see them that much!🙏👍
Thank you for your support- congratulations!
Ian, love your channel. Really surprised you personally responded to my comment regarding the GTC with the roof chopped. I've never had anyone actually respond to any comment I made before. And such a long and detailed explanation of this unusual roof treatment. Made me love your channel even more. Thx
Thank you- an absolute pleasure
Hi Iain. My suggestion on the first car to film is the Mk1 Mini. But in saying that, I'm guessing the next car that you film will be the first car that is ready so all good no matter what car is next. I'm surprised that you cannot get a set of rotors for the Aston Martin, surely there is an aftermarket supplier that could supply an appropriate set of discs. Fun fact. Ian Callum was the designer for Holden Special Vehicles during the mid 90's.
Thanks. It’s early days with the Aston brakes, we’ll see how it pans out
Great to see an episode about Mk1 Mini, great car, paradigm shift in the industry along cars like the Fiat 500.
Aha! it was well worth staying up a bit past my bedtime just to see your latest video! Thank you as always for the “Ketchup”! As you said please make a video on the Mini! If possible please also do one on the R56 (I own one and love it to bits - in fact I did a 100km joy ride in it just this morning!). It was great to see that gorgeous DeLorean. Such a wonderful car that was so ahead of its time. I still think John (DeLorean) was unfairly set up by the DEA guys. So sad. He did come across as a highly charismatic man.
He did broker a massive cocaine racket.
The Mini, simply due to the simplicity. A broader base may have interest, especially if you pull out your whiteboard :)
