Classic Icons - Bentley Electric Windows and Heater, Jensen FF, + More! | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

Join Iain Tyrrell in his latest Workshop Catchup as we delve into the mechanical intricacies and ongoing restorations of some of the most iconic cars ever built. From classic British luxury to Italian flair, this episode is packed with fascinating updates and expert insights.

Firstly, we explore the advanced features of the Bentley S2, starting with its electric windows equipped with a solenoid brake, a technology surprisingly shared with aircraft systems. Discover how such innovative designs have contributed to the legendary status of this classic heavyweight. Iain gets very nerdy with the window motor and chain.

Next, witness the impressive scale of the Bentley S2’s heater matrix, a substantial component reflecting the car's over-two-tonne stature. Iain’s detailed explanation helps us appreciate the engineering devoted to comfort and efficiency in these luxurious vehicles.

We then switch gears to the Jensen FF, revisiting this familiar project to see Craig's latest craftsmanship on the interior. With the seats freshly done, attention turns to replacing the now seemingly tired carpets to match the revived aesthetics.

No visit to the workshop would be complete without a glimpse of exotic power - enter the Lamborghini Countach LP400S. Iain showcases the recently reinstalled engine and shares why this particular model remains a breathtaking example of Lamborghini's bold engineering.

Additionally, Iain indulges enthusiasts with a look at the Ferrari Testarossa’s engine, explaining why it ranks among his personal favourites for both design and performance.

Finally, we address the curiosity sparked by a mysterious workshop visitor frequently spotted in the background of other videos - a Blower Bentley. Or is it? Iain invites you to share your thoughts and join the discussion on this intriguing piece of automotive history.
