Lamborghini 350GT, Murcielago and the Bizzarrini V12 | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop
Thank you for everyone's patience awaiting this next episode! It's been a very busy couple of months away from the channel and a longer break than intended, but we're back and looking forward to bringing you lots of exciting content in 2021!
In this episode, Iain brings us up to speed with the restoration of the 350GT, the fifth ever production Lamborghini, following work to repair the body. Iain shares some of the history of the original Lamborghini V12 designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and it's importance in the history of the company, it's use spanning four decades, albeit with some changes, right through to production of the Murcielago in the early Noughties. And as luck would have it, Iain happens to have one of those in the workshop as well, so he shares some insight into this most modern iteration of the V12, before taking it to stretch it's legs.
Thank you once again to everyone for the overwhelming reception of these videos and for all the support of likes, subscribes and wonderful comments.

This is why network TV is dead
And it deserves to die because it's crap and in a lot of cases over priced (SKY).
My TV sits in the corner unused unless I watch a film. I watch excellent KZhead videos like this. When I watch a film now, it’s more like an event and not on for the sake of it. Excellent channel this and would never be seen on terrestrial television.
@@PeteCourtier I'm exactly the same!
Good. They can't die fast enough
Or a demonstration of your limited outlook
One of the best car channels on KZhead. I really like how Iain isn’t a silly fan boy about these cars but just sees them for what they are and imparts history and knowledge that’s genuine and interesting. Thank you.
I couldn't have put it better !.
Totaly agree... fascinating👍🇬🇧
this and Harry's Garage is where i go for reasonable sophisticated fandom of cars.
I came to the comment section to say the same thing, but you put it in better words.
No silly unnecessary revving under every bridge!
I feel thrilled to learn that Giotto Bizzarini is alive, at the age of 95 and I hope that he joins the centennial club
Sadly, Bizzarrini had passed away.
“Cylinder Pulses” will be the name of my Iain Tyrrell tribute band when the time comes.
I'm In...
I’d go with “Donkervolk!”
dibs on drums...:)
Surely "Cylinder Pulses" will be the name of your first concept album? :)
Yeah he was a singer previously!
A good story should be interesting, captivating for reader/viewer, well illustrated, be compact but full of wonderful mystery. It should have a great start and equally great conclusion. This story had all of those but one essential element that makes it stand out from the rest....and it did... Iain Tyrrell. So welcome as this is the day I had to give up driving due to health reasons. Thank you Iain for making my day!! Cheers Bob
Well said Bob. My sympathies on your having to give up driving. But at least you have this channel.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Bob. Very sorry to hear of your “watershed” day today. Hopefully you can still savour some moments watching the videos vicariously! Take care
This and Harry's garage are two of the best car channels on KZhead in my opinion. Excellent.
Hard to find a genius who’s also such a pleasant and interesting guy. This was completely fascinating. Thanks!
.................. not like that annoying hoonigan autofocus guy, amirit?
Iain would be ideal for any apprentice to learn their craft of being an engineer and mechanic with all of his knowledge passed down and is such a rare opportunity these days !
@@ajwasp3642 hoonigan is a modern business project. cash in on sponsorship and cars are second.
I needed this SO bad right now.... Don't ever stop, Iain!
I second that!
I hope there is an Iain Junior.
@@johnsmith1474 Say man, WTF is wrong with a gear head fix? How is technical information gross? Hell I needed a tech hard fact fix too. So what if someone has hairy testes and questionable taste in men?
Haha that name 😂
Another fascinating history lesson from Iain. I could listen all day. Is that a BMW M1 in the background? I would love Iain talking about it.
Yes, I was going to comment about that M1 too.
Oh yes .. And the Jalpa
Spotted the M1 too.
and the Silhouette on the lift too.
I love that thanks to the owner and a commitment to a proper restoration, the 350gt will likely still be around 100 years after it was first constructed.
Watching Iain talk this through is like watching a master-restorer working on a Giotto frescoe. Incomparable skill working on an incomparable treasure.
I love how 99% of us have been saying “murcielago” wrong this whole time....
mooerr-CEEE-lago!
spanish say murthielago
I think Ian Tyrrell has it wrong too. C followed by i is pronounced 'ch' in Italian, eg Lancia is pronounced 'Lan-cha' I think Murcielago should be 'Mur-chay-lar-go' FWIW in Italian, g followed by i or e is soft, like a j. But 'gh' followed by i or e is hard... so 'Lamborghini' is a hard g, as in 'gone', not a soft j sound like 'gee'
@@pashakdescilly7517 Well I like your logic, makes sense! You could be correct....
@@pashakdescilly7517 Actually, Iain has it absolutely right. The word means "bat" in Spanish and was the name of a particular Spanish fighting bull, like so many other names of Lamborghini cars. The only difference is that, as V8 says, "c" followed by "I" or "e" in European Spanish is pronounced "th", other Spanish speakers would pronounce it as "s", just as Iain does.
The Murcielago and the 350GT are both such gorgeous cars, but in very different ways. The 350GT is just such an elegant, exquisitely tasteful thing. The Murcielago is like a spacecraft, but not OTT in the way that some Lambos can be.
Iain Tyrrell and Harry provide automotive gold. This is what has been missing from the «car shows» on TV; In-depth knowledge not covered in showmanship. The only presenter that comes close is Chris Harris. Now, imagine Tyrrell, Metcalfe and Harris doing a series together...!
Clarkson make a name knowing nothing about cars
That engine should not have been halted. Masterpiece. The whole car should still be produced.
I cold listen to this man review a washing machine or a coffee maker.
I think could review a pack of toilet roll and make it totally fascinating and absorbing! 🤣
BMW M1 next. Please...
Wow! Good idea!!
Agree!
Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. Superb!
25:02 Iain tries to stay professional but you can see the smirk (exactly what we would all be doing) 😂😂😂 great video, such in depth knowledge, brilliant 👍👍👍
History tech school with Prof. Tyrrell. So many information, from historic bodywork to the little trick of making 4 combined 3 cylinders. Amazing, thank you for this video. Greetings from Austria🇦🇹 Stay healthy!
Love these videos. Wealth of knowledge. No BS clickbait or music. Just straight knowledge and history. Very important
One thing that impressed me from video one is Tyrrell's buttery gear changes, the way he caresses every gear is amazing.
I love that phrase, “Tyrrells buttery gear changes” 😄
I’m thinking that if Mr Tyrrrell was a pilot, he would lay it down on the runway like butter as well. We would have Tyrrells buttery landings. 😄
This is a multi-million subscriber channel in the making. More collaborations with Harry Garage.. and similar will give this channel the attention it deserves.
@@johnsmith1474 doesn’t upload enough
@@charlie1832 Quality over quantity.
I hope not. It's for car geeks and there are too many ads in already. Btw you can't stop them when you are writing a comment or you lose it!
@@keithhoughton4308 I get Zero Ads. Very easy to get no ads without having to pay for the privilege
@@James-oo1yq how do you get rid of the in video ads? I'm an old man and to me they are like someone in a pub thrusting themselves in front of you while you are talking to someone else and shouting in your face about something so irrelevant it makes you wonder why they have gone to so much trouble.
,Great how you acknowledge by name the craftsman who worked on these elements .. Says at lot about your Workshop
Long over due, not complaining, I just love your content and miss it! Another fantastic video Iain, thank you. ☺️
"This is one of the Lamborghini V12 engines we've got here at the moment"
That blue Espada in the background tough...
I was just saying yesterday ‘where’s Iain been?’. So glad to see you. Excellent content as usual. Stay well.
The hidden rot on the 3500 gt reminds me of trying to jack up old cars back in the day and watching the Jack just go up through the body.......the good old days!!
Been there , Done that , Bought the filler , I'm ashamed to say...
@@colinritchie1757 Oh yes, a right of passage.
But not on Lamborghinis! £50 Morris Minors or Ford Anglias when I started driving. But it was the freedom that was the biggest thrill. And strangely, though I admire exotic cars, it's still the cars of my youth that I go for.
@@JohnDavis-ed5sg That's usually how that works. I figure in 10-20 years there will be a shop like this that restores Honda Civics back to stock. This one has the original wheels and bumpers! Amazing!
Welcome back Mr Tyrrell.
Welcome back! You’ve been missed. Another riveting video.
This channel is pure automotive gold...
100% Likes. One cannot simply dislike this automotive history gold. Thank You Iain for sharing - Cheers! :)
I 100% agree with you, however the YT haters that have no life eventually showed up 😑
So bloody great to have you and your workshop back on screen Iain!🙏🏻😊 Thanks for the effort and fantastic content as always👍🏻
A new Tyrells Classic Workshop AND a new Harry's Garage on the same day! woo hoo, certainly cheered me up. Thank you both.
Iain and Harry make for a good Sunday viewing .
Your comments on 3 cyl torque is so true. Triumph took advantage of this in making their Speed Triple’s strong pull from 2500rpm on!
I start watching these videos thinking I know a lot about cars, and finish them safe in the knowledge I know very little. It's very decent of Iain to wear his knowledge so lightly.
What a beautiful turn of phrase sir. I love that.
26:46 "...something resembling a driver's license... " ;-)
Poetry as always Mr. Tyrrell
Fascinating to see the restoration and get such insight into the 60’s era manufacturing process. Another super video Mr Tyrrell!
wow how fascinating. the details such as, V12s firing pulse feeding into the crankshaft, and therefore being less torque-y than V8s, the physics of it, cylinder pulses - this man is classy, the channel is so educational almost to the point of answering life long, childhood car enthusiast questions - while at the same time satisfying our desire to see cars and restorations. thank you.
Rattle and roll? Nah! It is the English roads! The car is at it peak! Smooth~
A long wait, Iain, but well worth it. Thanks very much!
I am amazed how much I like the Murcielago's styling now, considering how little I cared for it back when it was in production.
You probably like the styling now as the current Lamborghini's as great as they are, are looking way too over styled
@@PatrickPeterVlogs I think so too. Especially since not only modern Lamborghinis, but also but also modern cars in general are overstyled.
Are you the Patrick Peter of BPR GT fame? Or is it a fairly common name please?
Awesome videos
This is how to do a video, perfectly presented, extremely engaging, no annoying music and you never find yourself wanting to skip bits. It's a world of cars I will never get to own but it's nice to learn about them. Thanks
Best automotive channel on YT
The best car channel on KZhead by some distance.
This is what it’s called having passion for classic cars. He tells the story with facts and enthusiasm like he mentioned hearing the sound of an engine from his bathroom window growing up,
My congratulattions Iain for the fully respectfull way you're making those videos of these trully historic cars! I love those old cars and I also do enjoy driving older cars - of course more humble than those of you - but with manual gearboxes, so consider me as one of your fans!
Also noticed the level ot respect on these videos, completely agree with you!
Absolutely fantastic video! As someone who grew up with posters on his wall of the Countach and a 365 GTB4 Spyder among others, went on to be a technician for Audi/VW for 8 years and who still uses Autotrader daily to daydream about what i'd have in my ultimate garage.....this content is gold. Thank you all.
Thanks again!!!
Quickest 27 mins in weeks...along with Jay Leno, Iain effortlessly steals my time. Love it !
Ian Almighty. Thank You Boss.
Imagine that, a stock Murcielago is actually pretty quiet... almost too quiet. The Murcielago is an amazing machine. Thanks Iain.
Great to see you again Iain! (Fix It Again Tony!)
It's great to see a Silhouette in your workshop - so many Lamborghini models in this video (even the M1).
I love that you can really learn something watching these videos
I LOVE these videos. Apprentices, Apprentices, got to pass these skills down. Thank you🙌
Magic
"I'm loving this car." I'm loving watching Iain loving this car!
If I ever meet Mr. Tyrrell... I will just say how much I respect him.
Addicted to your videos, and thank you for replying to my Dino query on the video about the 246GTS. In every video, I learn something, which is rare! Until today, I was convinced aluminium didn’t not rust, but your explanation of the transfer between metals has enlightened me 😀
Such a smooth and relaxing manner contrasted with a modern Lambo supercar. Refreshing.
It must say something of Iann's channel that I've watched this video quite a few times by now...I go back because of the knowledge of history fir these cars Iann has and to get a true sense of how and why they drive the way they drive. This channel is the reason, as someone here in the comments has mentioned, "television is dead." Iann's knowledge and expertise just aren't available with the talking heads on network television. His content is riveting for us car nuts. Bravo Iann.
18:35 This is the sort of stuff that makes analogue mechanical engineering just fascinating.
I know there is no way you have the bandwidth, but I could watch these daily. THANK YOU. Always exciting to see a new episode pop up!
Brilliant. Thank you.
10/10 video
A great video Iain. Your knowledge of the exotics is outstanding. Stay safe Sir.
I hope you will keep us posted on the restoration as it goes along. Always enjoy your presentations.
The 350 & 400 GT's are absolutely stunning designs, I always liked them more than any of the later Lamborghini's.
Good video, the technical expertise is appreciated.
Must be rewarding to floor such a car after it has gone through the workshop for some repairs. Kind of seeing the fruits of your labour. Must be brining a smile every single time!
If this isn't the best car channel today, I don't know what it is.
Good to see you back and another great video, thank you.
Work of Art
I'd been hoping a new video would be coming out soon. 100% entertaining, thanks for making these. I love the videos for the content, and I love checking out what you've got in the shop. It's interesting to see cars recently for sale and at auction that turn up there. And is that a Silhouette on the ramp? One of my favourite ever cars from being a kid.
I was getting anxious to the point of a melt down thinking we weren’t gonna see any footage of the restoration works being performed! Many thanks for the video.
Dear 'Mr Tyrrell' what a very knowledgeable person you really are, brilliant and engaging to watch, please keep producing videos. Regards, RichardA.
This car has always warmed my heart, something the Aventador has never quite managed to do. And the speed, OMG!
My eyes lit up when you posted this video , thanks lain .
God Man don't leave it so long next time! I was willing this to last longer than it did. Always really interesting Iain, thanks!
The evolution of that engine is like Trigger's broom
Welcome back, great film
What a pleasant way to spend a Sunday night (Aust), thanks Iain
Thank you Iain. 🦘🇦🇺🙃
At 8 compared with 4,800 the lowest ratio of thumbs down I can remember on YT. Presumably 8 people were looking for something else. Top notch quality - thank you!
Worth the wait. Thank you!
Great to see another video Iain. Thanks very much. Wonderful cars and fascinating info as usual.
Ah a fix of Iain, I had gone all cold turkey waiting for something like this, magnificent!
Superb, as always
Fabulous video, another great lesson. Good to see you back.
Wonderful, thank you. I've been waiting for the next video. I don't know how he has time to do this, and run the UK Labour party !
Another great vid ,so interesting to see these classics being kept alive ,relieving lockdown boredom!!! Look forward to the next instalment, thanks 😊
Great! Can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming!
I learn so much with each new post on this channel. Fantastic!
I've been missing an Iain Tyrrell video on my Sunday night viewing for a few weeks now and this one did not disappoint. Please keep them coming!
Welcome back Iain .It is a joy to watch your channel ty
