Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop

[The Saint]

I recently found Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop on YouTube, presented by Iain Tyrrell each episode focuses on a particular car or theme and is very well presented and informative.

A selection of episodes below.

I've watched a few of these myself recently, he's got quite a relaxed presenting style.

Enjoyed watching these, particularly his rebuild of Harry Metcalfe's Espada, and his recent one with Ferruccio Lamborghini's very own Countach is the icing on the cake. I've seen Harry's Espada in the flesh a few times, it's quite an eyeful and it was a proper four seater supercar in its day. If my numbers come up in the rollover tonight I'm heading straight for Mr.Tyrrells place to bag the stunning RHD Espada he's had for sale for a while....

Thread bump!

Lovely Lamborghini Urraco P250 in the workshop recently, it was in for a cambelt change and assorted bits 'n' pieces as the owner was putting it up for sale, I think it's already found a new owner though - anyway the sound of that plucky little 2.5ltr V8 is magical, it's also one of the rare RHD cars built for the UK and Australian markets, of which only fifty four were built....





I've always loved the design of this Baby Lambo and think it is one of Marcello Gandini's finest, the way it is styled and packaged is just beautifully done. The way he made the rear slats continue round to the sides to cover the air intakes to the engine bay was quite clever. Along with a Miura, Espada and early LP400 Countach it's on my lottery winning 'list'! It's often overlooked (or more likely totally forgotten) that Gandini's first prototype Urraco of 1970 was rejected by Ferruccio Lamborghini but the basic concept, outline and proportions were dusted off the shelf at Bertone when Ferrari needed a replacement for the Dino 246GT in 1973. The second prototype was much more to Mr.Lamborghini's liking but needed more tweaking before the final design was ready for production. For several years both of these prototypes were dumped round the back of the factory, open to the elements and was only when the Mimran brothers took over the company c.1980 that they were rescued and restored, they are now part of the Lambo museum collection, along with the prototype Espada from 1967.

It's a fine little car that. Never seen one in the flesh myself.
