Some maintenance! I love these Tyrrell videos with their mix of anecdotal history and tech

I was sent this video earlier but I've not watched it yet. I will soon as I've been trying to get one running over the past 3-4 years. It's a labor of love and hate.

Just coming up as an image rather than a video link? Has the video got a title to search for on Youtube?

I think alabbasi is referring to the Ian Tyrrell video that you posted when he says “this”. The thing which appears to be a photo - not a video - is a photo of alabbasi stood in the engine bay of his car, which he’s been rebuilding over the last 3-4 years.

I just love the size of garages and 'barns' in the US that pop up on YouTube.

That light grey dust on everything and some wonderful cars that have been parked up, unused and forgotten for years (that someone spec'd and bought new for a lot of cash once)

I think lunchtime viewing the garden today is sorted.....

Kent Bergsma did a long series of videos on the "tube" about the 300SEL 6.3
here's one of them. I suspect that getting that mechanical injection pump to run properly is the key

This is right. I only posted a picture, although I have been documenting my progress on youtube. Mostly just me and a cellphone so it's very slow, boring and poorly filmed.
