Porsche 356 Speedster Restoration: Engine Tuning & Test Drive - Part 2 | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

I love the 356 Speedster. With so many replicas around, cool to see a genuine Speedster. Thanks for featuring the car.

I can’t believe that 25 minutes went that fast! Another belter of a car and another belter of a video! Many thanks Iain.

What a beautiful car! I appreciate you taking us along for the drive, Iain. Hoping your weekend is winding down nicely.

Hat off sir. You're such a gifted and eloquent carwhisperer. When I hear those boxers my heartbeat goes up. (I had VW T2 camper.) Could never afford a 356. Love the shape.

Well that THING that croosed you down the road sure seemed intresting 🤣

Let’s mic the hose and hear what you hear. Great work, as always.

Actually, that was not a kit-car "Kübelwagen", but a factory built car, made by VW and sold as the 181 or the Thing (!). Check out Doug deMuro's testdrive of Volkswagen the Thing for more info!

These are so lovable and cheerful treasures, especially in magnificent condition such as this example. The vibrant red of this particular 356 Speedster does make her an exceptional stunning peach. Thank you for taking us along virtually. It does provide for a well good impression driving her. Of course, I personally do hope to be able experiencing a drive in one of these for real, however their rarity slim down any chance of such occurrence. However we can daydream a bit, and perhaps one day... 💓

Sounds absolutely vicious at WOT, another great video. Tyrrells and Harrys make the sundays great.

Great piece, plus a few TTTs (Tyrrell Top Tips) and especially the TTTTs (Tyrrell Top Tuning Tips).

Hi Iain. I believe another reason why the original engine was replaced is that it was designed to run on leaded fuel. The replacement cylinder heads on newer engines have phosphor bronze valve guides which are self lubricating so can run on modern lead free fuel.

Love those 356’s❤️ I see a couple here in Miami, Fl. Thanks for another great video.

Thank you very much for this video. This Porsche is beautiful.

I'd say 120mph top speed is a little optimistic, lots of old cars with 4 speed gearboxes and relatively low gearing, and with this car's fairly low redline of 4500rpm, I'd be surprised if it does more than 100mph, but that doesn't matter with these kind of cars, it's how much fun you can have upto 70 ish mph, I'm a big believer that 100bhp/tonne is a key figure, between a car feeling a little dull and sluggish, to one feeling sprightly, fun, not hugely fast, but a car to have lots of smiles, anyway thank you for the great video

I'm surprised you aren't running a hose from the exhaust to the outdoors! My 356 likes to occasionally puff out a little (or a lot) of smoke when it sits for a while. You must have some really good shop fans.

Love the book "A passion for Porsches" by Denis Jenkinson. He describes his love for early 356 Porsches and how he drove them all across Europe in his role as a motoring journalist.

What a stunning car, lovingly fettled by yourself. Oh, to have a car of the vintage where a length of hosepipe, a screwdriver and a pair of finely attenuated ears can bring an engine back to its best!

Wearing a watch working in the engine bay 😱. Thank you for another excellent video, lovely to see this old 4-banger in such great shape.

WoW Superb😍😍😍 Sir IAIN you sound like you've a cold, no worries the essence of hyper car's interiors will fix it😍😍😍 Thanks for sharing Sir, Stay Safe👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

your hear for music is amazing, I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
