Join us for another Tyrrell's Classic Workshop episode as Iain delves into the fascinating history of the Ferrari 412. Based on the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2, the 412 managed to captivate enthusiasts and buyers for nearly two decades. How did Ferrari achieve this feat of sustained allure?
Iain Tyrrell explores the evolution of the 412, uncovering the secrets behind Ferrari's enduring appeal and why it's understated looks were especially popular in Italy.
In a nostalgic twist, Iain shares a personal story involving the Fiat 130 Coupe, a car remarkably similar to the 412 in many ways. With a Fiat 130 Coupe conveniently on hand in the workshop, Iain recounts his journey with this classic car and how it sparked his passion for exotic Italian automobiles.
But the journey doesn't end there. Iain takes the Ferrari 412 on the road for a test drive, only to encounter a few issues, the most significant being a noticeable lack of power.

@Lemma01 День назад

Loved these from when they came out: obviously couldn't afford one as a twelve year old; but even when the collapsed down to about £15k, all the classic magazines referred to this series as "the brave pill". I remember a C&S from the early 90s which mentioned the exhaust replacement alone was £5,000. Beautifully conceived; but as a luxury Gent's express, it's never been a bargain for anyone without deep pockets. Lovely to feature this, and be reminded of that dream- thank you, Iain.

@lindaoffenbach День назад

What has surprised me mostly, is how modern the Tipo F101 actually looked at the introduction in 1972 in terms of the aerodynamic styling of the front, and trim refinement all round the car, in the sense that we are essentially looking a rather trivial traditional boxy FR layout in 1972. The dashboard and tunnel arrangement for the year was next level as well. Perhaps not at the magnitude of the M B R107, but certainly into that direction. The sound of the V12 is a majestic experience and hopefully will be a happy chappy after you've worked your wonders. Truly a dignified car 💓

what a splendid video once again, growing up in the '70-ies and '80-ies I grew to love the typical Pininfarina styling, Fiat 130 coupé, Lancia Gamma, Ferrari 400/412, and even the Rolls Royce Camargue, thank you very much from the Netherlands

@DenUitvreter День назад

Love Pininfarina when he concentrates on straight clean lines, not a fan of his many wavy design's. This is quite a recent insight of mine having to do with this channel, but I believe from these related 70's coupés the Camargue is the masterpiece. Considering it's stance wasn't right at first and the difficulty of the task in the first place makes it more admirable. That Greek temple up front of a modern coupé must have been intimidating to any designer. But if you look at the clarity of the shoulder line and these magnificently sculpted wheel arches, the car might not have worked out but Pininfarina did the most awesome job.

@Philcopson День назад

The original 365 interior is the best - it still has the same chromed door-pulls as the Daytona / the chromed slider controls for heating and ventilation / the "Mickey Mouse ears" toggle switches / less bulky seats etc etc. With a proper wood-rimmed "guilloche" patterned steering wheel, it's still just about a '60s Ferrari interior - big black plastic instrument surrounds and hand-brake grip are a bit naff though - plus the steering-wheel blocks your view of the speedo and rev-counter. The 400 gradually lost all that, as it went for the "1980s HiFi-look" of featureless satin black everything, until you might just as well be sitting inside a wheelie-bin. (After decades of company cars, I came to hate black interiors...)

@michaelbonade4667 19 часов назад

The 365 does have a less cluttered looking , sleeker exterior as well….

@Philcopson 18 часов назад

@@michaelbonade4667 The 412 loses a lot. The higher boot-line / body-coloured bumpers / clear lenses / and flatter styling of the wheels, tales a lot of the "definition" away from the shape. Indicators with clear lenses over amber, never look right - the Rover SD1 came out like this and was greatly improved when they switched to amber indicators. Similarly, Daytona's with the completely amber indicators look so much better than the ones with divided clear/amber lenses. To me, the spinners, Webers, triple tail-lights, no chin-spoiler, and older interior of the 365, make it the "last gasp" of the classic 60's Ferrari. (They are heavy when they land on you, though...)

I've owned a 1993 740iL for years restoring it as my finances have allowed. Just recently the nitrogen canisters in the pressurised rear suspension lost all their gas turning one of the best handling cars into a real bucking bronco. Almost undrivable on the badly maintained New England Hwy. The canisters ate very rare and unavailable in Australia but fortunately the brilliant mechanics that keep the Bimmer in mint condition have finally tracked some down in Germany! Didn't know Ferrari and Citroen used them back in the 70's.

Hello Mr Tyrrell Thank you for yet another video with 25 minutes of excellence in knowledge sharing! It's allways a pleasure that I enjoy in my Sunday evenings. I am gratefull for that. Allow me to kindly clarify the issue of the Agnelli family's Fiat 130s. There were four Fiat 130 Familiare, designed by Centro Stile Fiat and manufactured by Officina Introzzi near Como. They all had different color schemes. Today the whereabouts of 3 of the 4 made are known. The Fiat 130 Opera is a 4-door sedan, almost a 4-door coupe, based on the Fiat 130 Coupé and presented at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show. In the previous year - 1974 - at the same Show, a 3-door station wagon also based on the 130 Coupé had been presented - the Fiat 130 Maremma, . Both were prototypes designed by Pininfarina.

Mr. Tyrrell, I always enjoy the content of your videos and this was no exception. Since there will be a Part II, may I request an in-depth look at the dual K-Jet setup on the Ferrari 412? For those of us attempting to keep other vehicles equipped with Bosch's K-Jetronic on the road, I believe it would be invaluable to watch you work your magic on this Ferrari's mechanical fuel injection, especially since it will surely require more than just a turn of the idle/ mixture screws. As ever, thank you for the entertaining and informative content, and I shall look forward to watching you re-enact your run to the Wirral Peninusal through the Mersey Tunnel in a Fiat 130. Had the best fish-and-chips ever on the Wirral....

@paulketchupwitheverything767 День назад

The fitting of the GM automatic gearbox to this grand tourer model was a shrewd move and was evidently appreciated by customers. I've read that the model was never officially imported into the US, too. I admire the engineering that goes into a V12 engine but, if I notice a car with a V12 in town traffic, often the sound is a bit 'busy' as if there is too much going on and it's not at its happiest. I wonder how much time is in the service schedule for checking the valve clearances. Thanks for another enthralling video. The comparison with the Fiat was thought provoking. The GT styling of the 400 series also reminds me of some Montiverdi models.

@howardlake6178 День назад

@marknelson5929 День назад

I think the earlier version of the Ferrari 412 in its 365 GT4 2+2 guise was a much better looking car - the 'flat' wheels for example on the 412 don't do it any justice. My elder brother owned an early auto 400 for a while - a stunning car to drive. A few years back in Tasmania of all places I found a dusty 1979 400i on display in a car museum. It's an ex Ferrari development vehicle retained by them and was the very first one to have the auto trans fitted (it was an ex manual car built in 1975). It started out with a carb fed engine, but was converted to fuel injection by Ferrari. It was used by Ferrari as the launch vehicle for the 400i at the Paris Motor Show in 1979. What makes this one unique is that it has ceiling mounted controls in the headlining for the entertainment system etc ala aircraft style above ones head - looks very smart. It was eventually sold in 1980 by Achilli Motors in Milan. It remained in Italy till 1996 when it new owner took it to Japan, then onto Tasmania. It's all matching numbers and has full Ferrari history and had only done 28,500 miles. Apart from the dust it looked in amazing condition, paint, trim etc. When I saw the 400 it was being advertised 4 sale - clearly a unique and fascinating Ferrari if your into this model.

@OpiceSF День назад

The 400i is my favorite Ferrari. The 412 had the rear lines changed for the worse. The body line was perfect IMO, but the 412 lifted the trunk line (for aerodynamics?) which I don't love. A neighbor had a 400i and I was absolutely obsessed with it. I wish i could afford the upkeep as I'd have one and a Maserati Khamsin in my 2 car garage.

@massimilianomicor8775 23 часа назад

Thank you Sir! Every video is a mine of brilliant information. Look forward to the video you promise us about exhaust lines and materiales! I’m very curios about it. Just wondering…I believe, but I could be wrong and happy if correct explanations come from you, that “italian engineering school” back then coming mostly from small engines was prone to get best performance from these engines trying to make something cheap in terms of consumotion and taxes for mainly italian customers. For this reason I suppose that small valves, crossed inlet/outlet valves duration and small diamater exhaust lines for maximizing backpressure were the recipe for torque small engine at low/medium revs and also for that lovely raspy notes both on acceleration than deceleratiin. Thanks as ever for your attention and your entertaining masterclasses! Have a nice evening. Max

@gergatron7000 День назад

A comment on V6s vs V12s: Iain, being a music and sound afficionado, you'd appreciate that sound is made up of peaks and troughs of pressure waves. And, of course engines create exhaust pulses with gaps in between each firing pulse, creating said sound waves. While a V6 does have overlapping pulses, there are still peaks and troughs in the waveform that amount to a certain tone and volume of sound (ie your 130 Coupe). Take the exact same exhaust design from the V6 and fit it to a V12, the sound will be much more subdued. This would be due to more exhaust pulses being emitted for a given rpm, filling in the gaps that were there on the V6. I too am often disappointed by factory V12 accoustics, which often sound just like an inline 6 for the most part, especially on Jaguars. I believe, to get that V12 "scream" (that, let's face it, we all want), you need to merge both banks very early along the exhaust path, so that you're not allowing one bank of 6 cylinders to develop a resonance and become doninant in the sound. You aim to get all 12 pulses at equal amplitude and then send them through a single muffler to attenuate the wave peaks all to the same sound level. As an example, please check out a yellow V12 XJS doing its thing around Targa Tasmania. It has a merged V12 exhaust and sounds insane, probably the best sounding Jag that I've heard. Sounds like an actual V12, not a "double six"

Really enjoyed your 412i and 130 Coupe review, love both of these cars, was lucky enough to own a 400i and loved it to bits (regreted selling it) never owned a 130 Coupe but have driven one and you are 100% right it's a beautiful looking car that sounds wonderful especially when you hit the right hand peddle hard.

@theretoocs 19 часов назад

Nicely done as usual. I used to have a client back the mid- 1990's who owned virtually the same V12 Ferrari, from memory it was a lighter shade of metallic blue. It also had the classic 'T-Bar' automatic, and his understanding was that the auto gearbox was introduced to gain more market-share in the US. I had a few rides in it-very memorable. At that time I owned a 1976 Alfa Spyder, and I do believe both the Ferrari and that Alfa Spyder had the same chrome oval exterior door handles. Regarding the FIAT 130, I may be wrong, but didn't that use a version of the Dino V6?

@simonelliott5956 День назад

Interesting video as always! I’ve always been a fan of this Ferrari in all its guises, but equally I too love the Fiat 130 Coupe, probably more so as a neighbour had one while I was growing up and I loved the sound of it. Great to hear Leonard Setright’s name mentioned, I loved his style of journalism, whether it was cars or Hi-Fi, he was old school and a delight to listen to.

i Can't wait to see this car at is best! I loved the 'eye locking' Tyrellism Iain. I just wonder where you had your misfortunate crash in the Fiat? I totalled my 1275 GT Mini in Parkgate having hit a tree and ended perched on a retired Policeman's wall. I got our milkman to rebuild the wall for 15 quid; the car was sadly much more worse for wear. Another great video Iain. Thank you..

I had the same emotions to the 130. I enjoyed the 500, 650. Then I found my "Sky Blue, Triumph Herald Convertible. Fiat was the Krishnamurti of Automobile Worship. The original Fiat 500 is an Art Deco Masterpiece. All I remember as a kid was curly walnut, dark green colours and loosing anything I held in my hand stuck out of the window. Good show.

@daveglover6115 День назад

As always, a great watch Iain! I believe that the lack of performance is due to the auto boxes as used at this time? The Mercs had the same problem too? A five speed manual 400 series is the best to find, in my experience...

The manual 400 is a different car altogether from the auto

The part with wrapping a Fiat 130 around a lamp post made me chuckle. Thank god you weren't injured. What a strange steering wheel rim shape. I've never seen one that has this flat part instead of just being round. The gears must be very tall, being only 3-speed. As always great insights and sounds.

I always liked the look of the 412 (in its various iterations) very pretty. Whilst it looks understated in today's world back in the late 70s when as a 10 year old I saw one it was very modern looking and made most cars of that era (excluding the other Italian exotics) somewhat dowdy.

In 1976 I had a 130 coupe I got 2nd hand from Toowoomba. I did the triple carbs, gas flow head, my first car with poly bushes and Bilsteins. And then watched it rot. But I still had many other FIATs. 125 and X BC and AC coupes. and the terrible 131 with a pushrod engine and drum brakes at the rear. I was offered a real 131 Rally but could not get the money. But I had enough of rust and went SAAB. That 130 could handle.

Again I love the tech and parts history. Brand and model politics are real. Many stories float around with the Corvette team clashing with others Pontiac with the Firebird centering on a few. If you watch the Dale Jr Download podcast and youtube, Andy Petree was a guest who told the story of being a crew chief for a NASCAR team and using the trunk soft shut mechanism to quite illegaly lower the deck led and thus spoiler during qualifying for the Daytona 500, fun story. Racers will be racers.

@landhopper4296 День назад

Iain - any chance you could interview Leonardo Fioravanti while it’s still possible? Born 1938 along with Gandini and Giugiaro. Must be something about that year! I saw the 365 version in a Sunday colour supplement in the 70s and fell in love. It was owned by an actuary, Max Lander, who commuted to London in it. I love all the 70s GTs, like the Maserati Kyalami and Interceptor. 400/412 always my favourite but I have a suspicion that if such a thing could be made to exist, a properly sorted XJS V12 could be the best of all. It saddens me though that the raison d’etre of these cars, a 3 figure dash down French autoroutes, became illegal in our lifetime. Thanks for calling out LJK Setright - sorely missed!

@zoltanvarga1606 День назад

Two metering/distributor heads and most probably the corresponding warm up/control pressure regulators. 😱 Very much like it. However, the Fiat 130 is just so classy. I'd take that even if I had the money. Maybe a Peugeot 504 Coupé would be the only competitor for me.
