Iain is so gracious. He let the great man speak utterly uninterrupted. No other person on RU-vid has the cool, calm, and soothing manner of presenting information as does Iain. A pleasure to watch.
DeLara also A polite and unassuming man. I'm a a long haul driver, Scotland Italy for 11 years, the people were very kind, Saint Bernard Pass I did once, with a 40 tonne artic, new road.
people like him are why lamborghini always felt right as a car company, as their was no junky personalities, no attitudes, no sell it because it sells and damn what it is mentality, it was a creatives company, and regardless of the price if it was a billion dollars, or a single dollar, you cant help but respect that.
@@markscully2342 I dont know if I would agree with that, I mean ferrari was in dire straights and if it wasnt for Magnum PI and Miami Vice putting them on the map as the cars to have, they flatly wouldnt be around nowadays, so they did what they had to do to survive, all under the fiat banner while lamborghini went into receevership multiple times including in 1980 to the italian goverment itself, which prompted Ferrucio to buy an LP400S as he figured it was his last chance to own one now if you were talking about Porsche in the modern age, where everything seems to be a cash in with no focus on actual dirivng skill and the cars arent worth it save for the suv's however lol and I gotta be honest, I was thinking of modern lamborghini under the VW group when I made this, although thanks to them getting rid of Rip Van Winkleman the snore king, the most boring anti car creative the company has ever seen that killed more creative and cool cars than the coof has people they finally seem to be getting back into the grove abit, as under winkleman well he Axed a cool miura concept, and now suddenly with him gone, we've got a concept of the concept of the countach now coming, the audi's are ugly and slow and no longer drivers cars, as that's where he went and they really seem to finalyl be beating ferrari at their own game after all this time with the hurican evo granted the price is insane of that new countach, and a low production volume like that makes no sense unless their going to make multiple versions based on each iteration of the countach itself with the 125 being the amount of LP400's made then the 400 S's, the 5's, and the 5QV 25th model coming after it
Gian Paolo Dallara (really) is a legend! He must be in his mid-80s, yet there he is at his office at his factory (he was clearly so delighted that Iain turned-up in a Miura) - I can't imagine that there's another person alive (let alone still working) that has contributed so much to some of the greatest sportscars and racing cars ever made from the 60s onwards..... Comes across as such a lovely and humble man - yet still obviously hasn't lost the passion for his craft.....
Reminds me a lot of Ernesto Colnago, supplier of TdF winning bikes for Eddy Merckx and Tadei Pogacar over 50 years apart. 89 years old and still goes to his office in the factory every day.
@@graham6229 true, but that understructure was quite revolutionary. It was the first transverse mid engined sportscar on the market. In the Ford GT40 the engine is placed longitudinal.
@@graham6229 I was talking about the design/engineering, not styling. I know he didn't style the body, but he basically design engineered most of the car :)
Dallara looked like he was a bit afraid of getting emotional at times. Great interview. It's so refreshing to see people with so much passion, and this goes for both of you.
Who in the HELL gave thumbs down to this video 😡!? These are fantastic videos by a master of his trade, be thankful he takes the time to have this channel and share with us his work and passion, if you don’t like these videos then go watch other RU-vid videos of wealthy kids buying and selling high-end cars they truly don’t appreciate on a daily basis! This is a special channel for true car enthusiasts.
Fabulous, just fabulous. What is left to say. This is man is so modest and yet full of joy and passion. No laptops back then making business models and scenarios either, or checking engineering constructions before hand. All by practical heads and hands, trial and error. There he says iconically: " No business modelling first, we just started...", "Ok, let's do it..." Fantastic episode, and thank you for making this possible for sharing. This YT channel is a geniune diamond :)
My goodness, what a beautiful man and a beautiful use of RU-vid. The " hey, dude how ya going mob" should learn how to present their channels like Iain and the driveway mechanics need to learn as well. Brilliant, professional, classy and fascinating.
You were correct to insist that Gian Paolo drive the Miura. The look on his face as he accelerated was absolutely priceless. An exceptionally well produced video. Thanks Iain.
Imagine you just watched The Italian Job. You think, "nice movie", on your best Raf Vallone impression. Since you live nearby, you decide to go jogging on the road where the Miura scene was filmed. While you are there (2:09), you see a Miura in the same model and colour of the film. You instantly think "holly crap" (or the equivalent in your native tongue). And now, years latter, you discover that same car was indeed the one used on the movie. PS: I'm not the jogger at 2:09 .
Historically important to capture these great men talking about their fabulous creations. Done supremely well in the right tone with care taken alround, made with love and not speed. I'm sure we all could sit through so much more but well done for a special episode.
Wow. Just...wow. What a great honour to be able to listen to that gentleman. The immense pleasure Iain derived from the tete-a-tete was so wonderfully expressed on his face and in his voice. He got to chat with one of his heroes about one of the most important cars of our time. I bet he is still smiling...
Wonderful vid. I love the smart & respectful way Iain dresses, like a real gentleman, so appropriate for this meeting...most people today have no idea how to dress properly. A professional approach...a lost art in many situations now. 👍🏻 The quality of this interview is brilliant: I love the way Iain doesn't interupt Mr Dallara...some other modern journalists could learn a lot from this approach! 👍🏻
I know that feeling all too well and have since childhood. It grinds you down over the years. Shall we grab a couple of Miuras and head to the Amalfi coast for a spin? 😄
A wonderful interview with a great man and such an important car in automotive history. My dad was good friends with Ferruccio Lamborghini in the last 10 years of Ferruccio's (Engegnere's) life, going up to stay many times in his vineyard and has always told me that he was one of the most genuine and lovely people he has ever met. Not flashy or big headed about what he had achieved, and said most of the time he would drive around in an old van and be more than happy with that.
Great episode! Sir Dallara almost had tears in his eyes while driving the Miura! Thank you Iain for giving him the opportunity to talk about the car he worked on for so many years and thank you again for selling him a Miura to enjoy for many years to come!
I never comment on videos but Iain you have topped my list of legendary Lamborghini videos with this one! Thank you for capturing Mr Dallara for all time so that we can share your experience. Wonderful!
Mr. Dallara asked if he could see the Miura. I'd be like "Dude. It's your car. You can do whatever you want with it." Listening to him is like sitting down and talking to a deity about how he created certain animals. Mr. Dallara is humble and so full of knowledge.
I threw my Matchbox Miura into a ravine with my brother whilst holidaying in Wales as a child. I was so moved by the opening scene of the film, and was willing to make that sacrifice just to be a part of it even as a seven year old.
@@MLB9000 I seem to remember it was at Devil's Bridge, I've been wanting to go to the tunnel north of Aosta for a few years, I'll buy another and make the visit when we can travel. I'll do the Goldfinger stops as well on the Furka Pass to try and get it all out of my system. I need someone to blame for all this.
as an old guy that has been involved in restoring all sorts of old Italian bikes and cars over the years , this was a real treat People don't get how these bonkers Italian guys went on , no committees, no interest groups just love of they're skill and artistry, brilliance not convenience .
I met Ingegner Dallara about three years ago,during a visit to his factory,and I had the same feelings about a man that is so confident and polite,so natural and calm in describing his life experiences. He really is a gentle - man,that never makes you feel in front of the genius he really is. And is very sad,for me,to consider that these kind of people never exist,today. If I think to that lost world in Modena,when as a boy,I was lucky to visit those factories,I remember many people like Dallara: they were happy to explain you everything of their cars,without any sense of superiority. Many of them had experiences in Ferrari,Maserati,Lamborghini and De Tomaso and they had always the same approach with clients and visitors,culminating in a fantastic lunch with tortellini in a simple "trattoria" near the factory. It was an easy world,they really not needed to made stages to learn to approach clients,and they had an ancestrial education. Facts,not words. I really like your videos and I am inscribed to your channel from now.
Watch Dallara's eyes as he is about to depart from his favorite mistress. They linger with passion. Priceless! Yet another home run video by TCW - cheers!
Makes me quite emotional. Passionate design and engineering. We need videos like this to remind us of this sort of car and its heritage. No electric car will ever get close.
What a fantastic interview! I have noticed that the few geniuses have been around we're always very humble people. They were never full of themselves. They're never imposing nor were they ever bombastic. True humility as their dominant personality trait.
I think Dallara respects you as a colleague, as one of his own kind. There can't be any bigger compliment for a car engineer, surely. And what a humble man Dallara stayed despite all of his legendary achievements! Wonderful video, beautifully filmed, great presentation!
The two best movies iconic moments to recreate on every boy’bucket list are the Lamborghini Arancio Muria P400 in the Saint Bernard Pass in the Italian Alps filmed for the Italian Job in 1969 and the also famous Aston Martin DB5 car chase in the Furka Pass, in Switzerland's Urseren Valley Alps near Andermatt for James Bond Goldfinger, in 1964. Thank you Mr Tyrrell, Iain You have done this extraordinary Muria shoot now. Are you thinking of driving a DB5 on the Furka Pass for a next video?
This is an amazing video. I am Italian and I still remember the first time when at 18 I saw the Miura, it was like a car from another planet! Till today remains the best sport designed car!
Absolutely unbelievable. You were so lucky Iain to still have Gandini and Dallara still present so that you could meet them and discuss. Absolutely unique video.... Thank you.
Thank you Iain. Your most wonderful among a growing collection of wonderful videos. For me, the Miura is, hands-down, the Mona Lisa of automobiles and, quite simply, one of the most beautiful creations mankind has ever wrought. Be well!
Well done for getting the iconic and very humble Mr Dallara to inspect your Mura and interview him ! He really is one of the last links into the past of the Italian supercar history , and incredibly still manufacturing sports cars today ! Speechless !!
The pure joy on your face whether you are redoing an engine, looking at leather swatches or discovering rust ... and most of all driving a car... is fantastic. You have my favorite automobile RU-vid channel, hands down. Great video!
That was class, front to back and top to bottom.Still staggeringly beautiful, exquisite thing in every respect. Great watch. What a gentleman Mr.Dallara is. Well done Ian.
Dallara, for all the success he's had, is probably the proudest of the Miura. Getting to listen to his stories, how he incorporated ideas from other cars to make the Miura work, and how he knew even then that this would be a special car. But for me the highlight is seeing Dallara's face as Iain offered to let him drive. He was in disbelief, and thrilled at the same time. The entire time he drove that car, he was smiling. Thanks to everyone who made this happen; it's a once-in-a-lifetime moment. And thank you Iain for letting us be part of what had to have been an incredible day.
There are countelss number of automotive genius that made history with great cars, but Mr Dallara must be one of the most respected engineer of the lot. At his age still talk like a young enthusiast lad in love of what he is doing and he is doing that with humble and down-to-earth . Thank you Ian for this incredible video, worth to keep it .
Amazing to see this great man. I worked with Gian Paolo Dallara on the Dallara F1 cars that used the Cosworth DFR Cosworth engines supplied by HMR. I was at his factory to discuss the engine installations.
Truly a masterclass in being a gracious gentleman. I am of course referring to Mr. Tyrrell as well as Mr. Dallara. The combined talents and accomplishments of these two men could not be matched by a whole stadium of people today. Such a wonderful video and wonderful RU-vid channel. Simply the best. Automotive themed or otherwise.
This small group of Italian engineers, designers and businessmen were analogous to the medieval guilds who were responsible for design and building of many cathedrals. They changed the world, despite being so few of them. We are blessed to overlap the lives of the genius level Italian automotive team par excellence.
Wonderful! The opening shots were magnificent. Broadcast TV can only dream of content like this. It was so good to see the smile on Ing. Dallara's face as he drove the Miura. Thank you so much for this series, Mr Tyrrell. (I have "On Days Like These" playing in my head!)
@ 31:03 that was a very emotional and historic moment for all of us brought tears of joy and sentiment😍 A huge Thanks to Iain for sharing this one, Stay Safe👍
I get so excited when I see these little trips that show up on my youtube box. I love Italy, such a truly beautiful country. In 1974, I and a good friend rode our British motorcycles, mine was a 1973 Triumph Daytona 500 and my friend Norman rode his beautiful 1966 Norton 650ss to Rimini there and back in a fortnight. We rode through the Mont-blanc tunnel into Italy, we stopped to celebrate at the cafe on the Italian side. Great days, great memories.
In the late 1960's (can't remember the exact year) at the Earls Court motor show, there was a man whose sole job was to lift the Miuras engine cover so that we could get a glimpse of the engine. After about 10 seconds, he would close it again, which proves you can't get enough of a good thing!
If that doesn't rank as a 10 out 10 moment both personally & professionally I don't know what would!! To then be the person supplying a Miura to the person responsible for it has to be the best cherry on the cake going. Wonderful video in so many ways.
This is next level stuff, absolutely fantastic, the respect and class Iain shows interviewing this humble engineering genius is what makes this channel such a gem
Holy crap! This was amazing. This is historical material, when this icon of a man is one day gone. The filming, editing and everything was just really, really good as well. I loved every second... 10/10
Wednesday morning, around 9am, sitting in my home in the middle of nowhere in British Columbia, and this video drops into my RU-vid box..... Thank you so much Mr Tyrrell, made my day today watching this and learning again from you, wonderful content and production
Dear Mr. Tyrrell, I am out of words. I don't remember and able to understand being this passionate of Lamborghini cars before until watching this masterpiece video of yours. I also had a glimpse which you look so similar to Ferruccio Lamborghini. I now live in Turkey, My father was a diplomat in London at 1999-2002 and I went to brands hatch watch the big red in 2001 July. I saw the talent and passion of The British People on cars. No matter which country origin. In this video I saw the Roman Empire people still exist and gather around beauty and respect of beauty. Thank you dear Iain. Your channel makes me happy to watch very very much. Thank you for taking me to the genius DALLARA and his office. I hope Mr. Bizzarrini lives and you will do a interview. I think Mr. Stanzani is no longer with us. He is a great personality and genius too I think. Thank you sir. Thank you Mr. Tyrrell. Best Regards Ufuk Güven
Best episode yet only complaint not long enough i could listen to Dallara for hours , great stuff ! amazing seeing him drive the miura and seeing how Iain was loving it . exactly the kinda stuff i like to see thanks, love this show top stuff!
I love how you involved Dallara and asked him about his design premises with the actual car right there, physically. Wow. I'm watching this video while dismantling a 1987 BMW E30 door, and wishing someone could do the same with the car I'm working on since I have similar questions, and yet Claus Luthe has passed away so that's not an option. So good on you for actually doing this, and thank you for capturing the joys and insights for so many to share in your delight.
