Yeah right. It's the perfect combo for a lot of chit-chat and not getting anything done. It took two months just to get the heads off. A bolt per week I figured. Harry's heirs are gonna get stuck with the lambo bill.
You see this is two genuine car guys talking genuinely about cars. You don’t need click bait headlines and loud voices and attention seeking , exaggerated synthetic handwaving or long blonde hair. What we need is this, and you give it to us and that’s why we like it. Bravo. You two just keep on doing what you’re doing and we will watch you enthusiastically.
The reason I enjoy these videos of Harry restoring his cars and chatting to people who share a similar passion, is that I’m sick of watching videos of people ragging the b’jesus out of cars that don’t belong to them, and trying to come up with childish phrases about their experience! Where as here, we have a chap who’s extending the life of his cars, showing real passion and enthusiasm about them and taking us all along with him for company. Keep it up Harry.
I'm coming here, having watched the conclusion first and then from the engine removal, and I suppose, with all the effort and work that has been put into restoring this car, it being right-hand steering and everything, it must be one of the most unique and well cared for Countaches there are. Thank you both for taking us along through the, well, nuts and bolts!
I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with the Countach every time you feature it, even though yours is currently substantially disassembled in Ian's shop. What a wonderful car. Makes me wish for a time machine to go back to the moment it was unveiled and observe the reactions to it firsthand. A spaceship!
Good afternoon Harry Hope you’re doing well I thoroughly enjoy your videos when you go to Iain Tyrrell ‘s workshop it’s absolutely fantastic and I love it how you explain everything that’s going on I thought I think you are one of the best RUclipsrs out there keep up your fantastic work thanks you regards Tristan
I love that their passion and knowledge appears to come with no judgement and without being a cocky know-it-all. I could watch these 2 talk about cars (any car from the 50's on) for hours and hours. 2 great guys talking politely about the intricacies of the most famous and sought out machines in the world, brilliant!
I was 6 when the Countach came out and it was just an amazing era for cars.. I think Tara Buckman climbing out of the Countach and spray painting the 55 speed limit sign at the start of Cannonball Run is just the epitome of what the Countach should be about and how it should be driven.
If I remember correctly, she sticks a 155 sign over the 55. Soon after they wash the white paint off the car and it's revealed the actual colour is red, a pointless move because she and Adrienne Barbeau instantly resume taunting the same cops who up to know had been chasing a white Countach.
Funny, she was in an episode of CHIPS (late 70s-early 80s US police motorcycle TV series) that I was just watching today. But yes Cannonball Run was probably her most notable role for most lol
LOVE these video updates, please keep them coming 🙏😎 - 1984, I'm leaving Dover for Calais for work in Germany and there's a white Countach next to our (work)Ford Sierra estate car ...I thought a space ship had landed, I'll NEVER forget that moment!
As I always find these and I’m not mechanical minded in the slightest so relaxing to watch and so interesting to follow. I love anyone keeping what is a work of art on the road to the standard it deserves. Work that will see it through many years of use. Give me a classic journey over I just ordered the latest and greatest every day of the week.
Great watch, as ever. When this is all back together Harry, I’d love to see you put the Countach on the dyno to see just how much the qv really puts out.
I love the interaction between these two guys. Having someone who can ask questions and not be sure (even though Harry probably knows) really brings us viewers into the conversation.
We always look forward to these update videos. Your a genuine man using his cars as they should be driven and you take the time to find the right people to repair and maintain them. Roll on the next instalment.
Harry is blessed to have such experience at his disposal. Iain is a !modern day legend with respect to classic British and Italian super cars of this era
I wish more mechanics could be like this guy. You just know from listening to him that when that car leaves his shop it is going to be right as rain. Every "I" dotted and every "T" crossed.
Iain probably has a queue of customers' cars waiting to come in to his workshop. So his team do it once and do it right. Because in reality, Iain doesn't want to see his ex-workshop vehicles again for a long time.
@@paul_k_7351 Actually knowing how to use those computer based diagnostic tools to diagnose problems with modern cars is a lot more challenging than laypeople seem to think. You have to understand both cars and computers to use those scan tools, each brand uses different software and there is no one tool that handles all makes and models. And that's just the diagnostics... ever see under the hood of a newer car? Most of them are a massive pain to actually work on. It's a complete myth that newer cars are easy to fix, they only ever get more and more complicated and more challenging to repair.
Worthwhile mission creep on this amazing car Harry. Love how you’re restoring each of your classic car assets. It really gives you an insight into how these cars have been engineered.
Let’s do a replay of that tail end video overtaking that Lorry when the valves are clean. We have the “before”, now we would love to see the ‘after’. Loving every second of your videos!
Excellent update Harry. That’s going to be a fantastic car once completed. I wonder if you will feel a noticeable difference once all the carbon is cleaned up and the valves re ground ? I’d imagine there must be a improvement in performance.
The Contact's isn't as bad as my BMW (yay for direct injection) nor is it as modern, but I noticed a shocking improvement when I finally got my intake and valves cleaned out. So much more responsive, smooth and willing to rev
I can’t help to think about your car projects the last couple of years. There has been a load of surprises, enginewise and chassis related too, and yet you just carry on. You are certainly a brave trooper.
Other than the obvious perks of wealth, having access to engineers of this level and seeing how they approach things must be an absolute joy. Watching these films and Tyrells own is enough to make a classic Lamborghini purchase a given when my lotto numbers come in 🙂
I lament the current state of the classic car market where these beautiful machines are treated as investments by the uber rich and no longer enjoyed or experienced. Harry is the antidote! So much passion and expertise in these videos.
I think it is great to see that the car has lived a little with the wear on the interior trim. Great work on the head/suspension too. Should drive beautifully once the work is completed
I love it when Harry says "they just look proper performance" about the heads. I was thinking, well, yeah, uh, it's a Lamborghini. And then later we get "you haven't been driving it gently have you?", and Harry replies "No, it's a Lamborghini". The hits just keep on coming with these two lads. Brilliant.
You know that a shop is beyond impressive when a Countach is overshadowed by the vehicle sitting next to it. As striking as the Countach might be, whenever the lines of the Miura popped into view I simply couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Clearly Harry's Lamborghini is in the right hands. I'm looking forward to his full report once it is all finished and back on the road - especially after it is once again ready for some good old "rev therapy".
As an engineer the first thing I thought of is this engine did not get hot enough to burn the carbon off… I think people don’t realize it’s OK to give it hell once in a while! Haaa. Thanks for bringing your two channels together you guys are the best!
Most of us would have that sinking feeling in our stomachs when a mechanic lists the issues with our cars. Harry just gets excited and even more enthusiastic. It's great to see these machines being cared for as we might only have electric motors and batteries to drool over in future. :-)
Positive Ventilation from the Crankcase is fed into the intake for emissions. That crap gets into everything. A catch can is a simple and wonderfull device that works great. I use them on all my cars. I use a large glass jar (bigger the better). You'd be surprised what you discover.
Hope you're enjoying summer spin in the V12 Coupe? I remember when they were common, but have always preferred the 4 door version. I have seen coupe here in Thailand, once.
I spend my workdays listening to manufacturers who've produced things on a comparatively massive scale say that components are "backordered", or "unavailable", or "obsolete - entire assembly needs to be updated". And Lamborghini has a transmission shaft in stock for a low production car from a few decades ago. Great stuff as always Harry & Iain!
Harry, I'm building a replica and the videos of your repairs have been very helpful in showing the internals in ways that are hard to see otherwise. Especially with the rear uprights, your videos have given some of the best views of them that I've seen. If you could indulge me, on your next update I'd be very grateful if your camera man could stick the camera in and get some clean shots of the entire front and rear suspensions, inside out, front to back, and all other angles, with the tires off. That would be such a solid bit of footage to have. 🙏
I think it’s time Harry to invite Mr.Tyrrell to the farm and get him on some agricultural vehicles. I’m sure he would be in his element with all your kit. Give him the keys to a tractor and let him have a test drive. Great content and the views show your audience are loving it. Well done.
While we all love these run downs on the state of play may we please have some of the actual work on the heads & gearbox ? ie show us the technicians carrying out the gearbox assembly & head work through re-installing the valves ? Bravo Harry for persevering with another great Italian classic - my experience of Lambos (Espadas) was in New Caledonia in the early '70s when a couple of the mining millionaires had them...............
Amazing iconic car. Like the Silver Shadow I'm glad you're keeping as much as you can original. Exhaust will look fab in black and crime. Looking forward to seeing next vid. Thx again.
Today I logged into "Harry's Garage" and looked to just see if there was anything new...because I wanted to watch it. I don't do this for very many (really less than 2) channels....best series ever. You had me at the xj12c. jb
It's a fantastic vehicle to see as a project, very interesting design features and manufacturing, incredible wow factor. Fun to see the discussion about about bits of carpet. Perhaps you get replacements for use underfoot and keep the originals, spruce them up, and use them for drink-coaster conversation pieces.
We need a road trip to ‘run it in’ when the refurb work has been completed….I’ve loved the Countach since Motor ran a triple test in the mid 70’s. Countach, 911 Turbo, Ferrari BB, it was the Lamborghini’s. tram lines down the straight at Mira that blew my mind. Countach is the daddy, the rest just follow. Adore this car, keep it original, in the best condition and enjoy.
Everytime I hear Harry say I’m back down at Tyyrells I shudder and think there’s another 10k invoice coming in the post. Bloody good watch though love this content.
Light use, short journeys, cold running, the nemesis of ICE's, especially high performance units. I've stripped and rebuilt a few mainstream production engines and found it interesting and enjoyable but then I didn't have the worry of potentially replacing exotic parts at exotic prices.😂 I've no doubt a whole new re-leathered interior would look superb but, cost aside, why throw away all that originality and patina when a bit of titivating will have it looking virtually as good. 👍
When I watch these videos, from two truly passionate automotive gentlemen that understand the value and the meaning of these by-gone and never to be made again cars, it makes me sad to think of the future. For starters, the electric movement, it’s inevitable and we are all going to have to go that route, I’ve made my peace with that, we all have to because it’s like fighting the tide. But what really makes me sad is wondering if guys like Harry and Iain will be around in the future to take proper care of these beautiful classic cars. What I’m about to write will definitely get me some haters and understandably so, but let’s be honest here, do we really see the youth of today caring about these kinds of cars in the future? Good example are all the young RUclipsrs that are out there, you know the kind the ones that have 1 to 3 million followers because of their antics on RUclips! Purchase an exotic car beat the crap out of it move onto the next car, sometimes they may buy a classic like this Countach, don’t properly care for it because it’s too boring too slow too old so move onto the next car. Guys like Iain and Harry are very far and few. Thank you to you two classy gentlemen I hope the young followers of both of your channels will follow your lead.
Dilemma Sunday night Iain and Harry’s videos both to watch Which first Well Harry was discovered first so imagine my delight having both guys in the first video Always ❤️ both so well done 👍
Note it is said that Alfieri's base 4v design came from the 90 degree V6 SM/Merak racing engine that was made for the Ligier JS2 for Lemans 73-75. This engine was Alfieri's first 4v engine and only about a dozen were made. The final iteration was still 3L and revved to 11,000rpm making some 420bhp. Anyway, it is said that the same 'pent roof' 4v design was used identically in the 4v Countach engine. The only way to verify this is of course to have 2 apart next to one another.
Two fine gentlemen being passionate about the Countach. A cup of tea, sitting back in the sofa and just enjoying the observations. I like this.
Thank you, saved me typing just that.

Minted ones with an understanding family.
Yes, what a lucky car!
@@rc51bigdaddy yes,although these days such a car they are very sought after, not cheap to run or maintain!
In the cold, hard light of day, Harry is merely "the custodian" of this Lamborghini. Eventually he will move it on or bequeath it to his family.
Always a great combo and therefore a pleasure to watch: Harry Metcalfe and Iain Tyrell
Yeah right. It's the perfect combo for a lot of chit-chat and not getting anything done. It took two months just to get the heads off. A bolt per week I figured. Harry's heirs are gonna get stuck with the lambo bill.
It's always good to watch a great sales engineer at work!
I could listen to Harry and Iain talking all day! The two best channels on RUclips.
You see this is two genuine car guys talking genuinely about cars.
You don’t need click bait headlines and loud voices and attention seeking , exaggerated synthetic handwaving or long blonde hair.
What we need is this, and you give it to us and that’s why we like it. Bravo.
You two just keep on doing what you’re doing and we will watch you enthusiastically.
The two Ronnies are back at it. Lighthearted fun on a very seriously mega car. Great job!

I could watch these two talk about cars all day and all night. Thanks guys.
Some nights I’ll have awful nightmares, I’ll wake in a sweat with Iain Tyrrell standing over me reading out invoices in minute detail
Harry has to keep making extra videos to get the revenue needed to pay Iain's increasing bills 😂
....think of "where" the money is being spent.
That Countach has to be worth a good chunk more now than whatever Harry paid for it. He’ll get his money back if he ever sells it.
I love that their passion and knowledge appears to come with no judgement and without being a cocky know-it-all.

The white Countach chase scene from season 2 of Miami Vice is the best for me. You can find the scene on here if you search Miami Vice Countach.
If I remember correctly, she sticks a 155 sign over the 55. Soon after they wash the white paint off the car and it's revealed the actual colour is red, a pointless move because she and Adrienne Barbeau instantly resume taunting the same cops who up to know had been chasing a white Countach.
@@CaptHollister That's Cannonball Run 2
Funny, she was in an episode of CHIPS (late 70s-early 80s US police motorcycle TV series) that I was just watching today. But yes Cannonball Run was probably her most notable role for most lol
'You haven't been driving it too gently?'
'No, it's a Lambourghini'.
Love that.
LOVE these video updates, please keep them coming 🙏😎 - 1984, I'm leaving Dover for Calais for work in Germany and there's a white Countach next to our (work)Ford Sierra estate car ...I thought a space ship had landed, I'll NEVER forget that moment!
The moral of this story: the Italian tune-up is a real thing.
My Father loved this solution, He seved his time as an apprentice to BMW, Boyle motor works Ireland in the 1940s...
That's why I redline my car on regular basis
I live for the Italian tuneup.
And a top quality P.E.A based fuel system cleaner.
Love such knowledgeable discussions and detail. Harry... you always deliver. Such passion
What a joy it is to watch these two!
I think looking at those rear tyres and imagining them near the legal limit would make a bank manager cry 👍🏻🏴
I could listen to Harry and Iain chatting about Lamborghini trivia for days on end! Always a pleasure these videos.

I'm looking forward to his full report once it is all finished and back on the road - especially after it is once again ready for some good old "rev therapy".
Somebody I know would have enjoyed this video very much, thank you Harry.
This channel has a true passion for motoring.
Loving the continuing story about the Countach Harry. Already cant wait for the next episode!
Its an absolute pleasure to listen to the knowlegde these 2 have.
As an engineer the first thing I thought of is this engine did not get hot enough to burn the carbon off… I think people don’t realize it’s OK to give it hell once in a while! Haaa. Thanks for bringing your two channels together you guys are the best!
Though give it 10-15 minutes to get warm before hitting the pedal.
Then, frei fahrt !
Most of us would have that sinking feeling in our stomachs when a mechanic lists the issues with our cars. Harry just gets excited and even more enthusiastic. It's great to see these machines being cared for as we might only have electric motors and batteries to drool over in future. :-)

Amazing iconic car. Like the Silver Shadow I'm glad you're keeping as much as you can original. Exhaust will look fab in black and crime. Looking forward to seeing next vid. Thx again.
Today I logged into "Harry's Garage" and looked to just see if there was anything new...because I wanted to watch it. I don't do this for very many (really less than 2) channels....best series ever.

With the new Countach out i can only see the value of this beauty increasing.
It’s nice to see it going back to standard .
This channel continues to set the standard!
Well done.
Great stuff, and then a reminder of what this car is for at the very end
Harry: The car has become part of me.
Iain: Exxxcccellent.

Good example are all the young RUclipsrs that are out there, you know the kind the ones that have 1 to 3 million followers because of their antics on RUclips! Purchase an exotic car beat the crap out of it move onto the next car, sometimes they may buy a classic like this Countach, don’t properly care for it because it’s too boring too slow too old so move onto the next car. Guys like Iain and Harry are very far and few. Thank you to you two classy gentlemen I hope the young followers of both of your channels will follow your lead.
this pair of absolute legends
Dilemma
Sunday night
Iain and Harry’s videos both to watch
Which first
Well Harry was discovered first so imagine my delight having both guys in the first video
Always ❤️ both so well done 👍
Great video, Love the Countach.
Very interesting. Black exhaust pipe will look great.
Note it is said that Alfieri's base 4v design came from the 90 degree V6 SM/Merak racing engine that was made for the Ligier JS2 for Lemans 73-75. This engine was Alfieri's first 4v engine and only about a dozen were made. The final iteration was still 3L and revved to 11,000rpm making some 420bhp. Anyway, it is said that the same 'pent roof' 4v design was used identically in the 4v Countach engine. The only way to verify this is of course to have 2 apart next to one another.
"A farmer has been living in in it for 10 years." 🤣🤣🤣 Classic.
