The Smoking Tire

Iain is the founder and director of Cheshire Classic Cars, which restores and sells rare metal from, Bentleys to Ferraris, rally special to open-wheeled race cars. His YouTube channel, Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, frequently features the cars of Harry Metcalfe, who entrusts his Lamborghinis to Tyrrell. That's quite an endorsement. On this episode Iain tells us about opening his shop in his early 20s; undercharging for Ferrari work; how 3D printing has changed his profession; parts that are impossible to source; what people get wrong when they fix or restore a car; why he loves the Espada and the Lagonda; BMW's gem; colors he wants to see more of; and a lot more. https://www.cheshireclassiccars.co.uk/restoration-projects/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2pQT90JBqbMHSVLtbJBvyw Recorded February 19, 2023 Want your question answered?
