Ivan Dutton & Shed Racing - A Life Less Ordinary 

The world would be a less colourful place without Ivan! SUCH an interesting man

Ivans Shed is literally the best channel on YT!

Can't wait for part two now. He needs to be interviewed to record his shenanigans, the old rebel. :D Love it.

What a lovely bloke. Hope he has many more years tinkering ahead of him!

This is what happiness is about. Just listen to him, what a wonderful life 😀

Fantastic. Just point the camera and go. Ivans Shed Racing channel is definitely a RU-vid highlight as well

Ivan is a true treasure (and a character) and he seems to have known everyone who was anyone, back in the day. And he still does. He deserves to be seen, heard and remembered. And his under-viewed channel is brilliant.

I met Ivan in the ‘70’’s, and he was quite a character then! A national treasure!!!

I’ve been following Ivan on RU-vid for several years now and I have marcelled at his fabrication skills and his builds. I would hope that Ivan would have a in depth biography of his life done. He is an amazing person and his ability to still get out there and flog these cars is a testimony to his zeal. He reminds me a great deal of my late grandfather and his own fascinating live. I was thankful that he had written down his memoirs and also audio personal history. Once these people pass on we will have little to no connection to the histories they were a part of. Thank you for this interview and I’m looking forward to the second part

Just brilliant hearing Ivan’s story, have watched his videos since the start. Amazing team.

One of the most wonderful videos of one of the most wonderful guys in the world of motoring, thank you so much for this !!!!

What an amazing man and what an incredible life story, Chris Pollitt mate you really are a very lucky man I could listen to this old boy every day for the rest of my life and never get bored. Keep up the great work Chris absolutely love your channel 👏

Wow, what a treat that was! Can’t wait for pt 2

Ivan is just a 30 year old with 50 years experience. What a ball of energy and an encyclopedic knowledge.

Just brilliant, a real petrol head. Eagerly awaits part 2.

I never miss an Ivan video and I suggest no one else does ether.

I hope this chap has under studies, who have under studies, because this type of knowledge, needs to be kept.

Could listen to Ivan all day, I was 15 when the suez crisis was on, petrol was on ration. Looking forward to the next one. A great video, thanks for posting.

Many thanks Chris for a great film. very nicely done- letting the fascinating stories be told. look forward to part 2.

what a lovely guy he is

Fantastic. Looking forward to part two.

Spectacular. Ivan is the real deal. Been following his videos for a while and now this. Good to see he gets the notoriety he deserves. A video well done. Anxious for part 2. Thanks from Oregon USA.

Glad to find Ivan on your channel...have followed him for good awhile, but first time I've heard such a detailed interview...just praying Ivan, and John just keep on keeping on...much inspiration for all of us

I absolutely love Ivan! Thank you so much for getting him to tell us about his history. Hi

Ivan reminds a lot of Allen Millyard. Humility, enthusiasm, intelligence and engineering wisdom. Their willingness to explore and innovate, and showing respect to the originals, without getting too hung up on the 'purity' aspect, is very refreshing.

That was great. Really interesting conversation. Looking forward to part two

Could listen to Ivan for hours.....👍

What a fantastic Gentleman. Off to find his channel now.

My Hero luv this man and his stories.Also a brilliant mechanic.

2 of my favourite car chaps in one video

Thank you. Excellent video. I have been following Shed Racing and this nicely complements those videos.

One simple word: legend!

What a brilliant interview. I could listen to Ivan regaling us with his fascinating story all day long.

What a lad!

Ivan Dutton and true inspiration and legend and what a great character, I could listen to his stories all day long

Why this man has not been knighted is a complete mystery, someone needs to get that sorted asap

WE love him to bits may he go on producing videos for the next 50 years.

funny little engine . thats the best line ever

Is it just me or does the camera magically blink into the frame on the right at 17:29

20:54 The phantom girls are here and then gone.

List his collection?

i cant relate to the first part... but i do like classic cars but not becouse they are my youth. im from 2001 but i drive a saab 96 from 1975

For some reason,I think Ivan is younger than me....

Duuuuuuuuring the war It’s uncle Albert !!! Old

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called "Abgasbespaßungsverbots- und Kontrollverordnung" in German.)

Grandson rips off Grandfather!, Ivan is the treasure and I have unsubscribed from this to SHED RACING !!!! Shame on Chris!!!
