Bit of a different video to the usual but really enjoyed filming it! it was nice to get out of the shop especially after the RS6 situation 😂 back on the 720s now im back in the UK... Also i met Fernando Alonso .. !
Since it didnt meet reserve, Bonhams should give you the car at your bid price and you should give them sponsorship ( for "free" to make the difference up to their reserve) of the rebuild. Everybody wins.
What a journey you have been on for the last few years. Definitely kept me entertained, so thanks for that.. your channel is better than any channel on tv that’s for sure 👌
Mat you are a pro, my hat is off to you. I was in the motor trade from 1973 - 1997 and at your age knocked about with guys like you. I am telling everyone i know to follow this channel. Congrats it's the best
Not for that price though, the people who pay that money cannot actually be car people? It should be repaired and driven. I rear for humanity because of crap like this.
Amen. There's a million other movie props. I don't see that this is THAT significant as a prop... it's far more significant as a car. I think it wants restoring.
People collect high end fancy stuff, I'm probably gonna turn into a UK version of Aging Wheels.....all commie cars but at the same time..a ford Mondeo is just as influential as a Lamborghini
There were 2 in the movie, one that was wrecked and one that wasn't. The one that wasn't was recently sold at auction for $1.5 million US. BTW Matt, congrats on the 2 million plus subscribers!!
Nobody will remember these things in a few years when you're gone. A few people who might still be hanging around on RUclips in 20 years will think a video of yours is great, it's really something for posterity. Everything on this earth is just borrowed, we can only keep it until we die and then I think spending so much money on it is pointless.
One minute delivering take aways and tinkering on the drive, next minute at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as a guest and looking to bid on a countach. You and your team have put an awful lot of work to get where you are now and with over 2 million following, people clearly love the video's. Well done to you and the team Mat
Congratulations on 2 Mill , you are the embodiment of what one can achieve with pure grit, hard work, and perseverance to make your dreams come true ! Well deserved Matt. Im stunned this car reached this amount. After all unless you decide to restore it, its kind of a liability as it can't be moved around & would need heated storage etc & kind of just an Ornament, which which is a pure crime for a car like this.
@@MatArmstrongbmxI'm sure you did and it's like you said it would only be worth wild for you if you could restore it, but I'm sure most of those bidders were in there for the memorabilia as well including director Chairs and Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio signature. If it is only just going for sale now which I read about in the news feed a while ago eventually that car will sell to someone who does not care about it's reputation and it will get restored, but for now it prolly will go in like a wax museum or something prolly somewhere people could take pictures with the car and it will make someone money down the line.
When I have a bad day , one of the best things for me is to see a video from Mat Armstrong! Anyone else gets pumped by the good energy from this guy ? Well done ! 👏🏻
@@lutomson3496 Matt is a car guy, he knows the value of a crash car and I agree with his assessment. It's about 300k for the crash supercar, fresh new replacement parts around 75k, and then markup for movie provenance value by double it's current value. So it's actual worth is 690k adjusted for 10 years inflation. 1.35m is ludicrous.
@@luminatrixfanfictionright i can have 3 decent homes with that 1.35m if i'm rich lol. Fact is these dudes are rich af and are angry having so much money that they gotta throw some away😁
@@nassiglutt6587 Well they're doing it wrong lol. The same money could be better spent on extending your life span by double. Which is possible. You can live to 200 years with today's technology without doing anything shady. If South Korea can clone dead mammoth from half a million years ago, then can can certainly grow new organs for the human body to replace failing or aging ones. 😁
You never thought any of this would happen Mat, but you made it happen, hard work and self belief! To get Fernando on your video is absolutely incredible! I’m so happy for you, you deserve it, you had a vision and you followed it!
Mate, is the third video of yours that I''ve ever watch and see your face when the auction began says it all. You clearly love cars, but more than that, restoring them back on the streets. This one didn't went as planned, but you're doing great and surely that would pay off. Great videos.
$1,350,000 is absurd. Such a shame that Matt isn't in the running for this. To have been able to restore such a motor with its history would be such a spectacle to watch. Wish you had a financial donor from the middle east to fund this project. You're amazing Matt. Thank you for all the content you create!
Its not absurd, the car is an icon. Rebuilding it would ruin that art piece permanently and no one would ever pay that bid price ever again. Very glad he didn't win it and it can go on being the art piece that it is.
There was another one he did most of the scenes with. It was privately owned here in the states, there was a story about it on Vinwiki. He did eventually sell it for nearly 2 mill then it went to auction. This wrecked one was actually not originally white on white, they painted it.
You absolutely deserve how far you’ve gotten bro. You make my day everytime you post. You, your dad, hannah and matt are all wonderful people and its so great to see you having a blast. Makes me motivated to do the same!
I agree with the auctioneer person... I think this is a piece of art that shouldn't be restored... but to be in the position to buy it in the first place after so much hard work is testament to the value you provide to the community
I’d argue that an art piece of a movie isn’t going to mean squat in 25 years but restored with. Clean title is going to stretch further. But whatever everyone likes what they like
Usually you pay much less for a crashed sports car but because this particular car was in a Hollywood movie that was crashed, that somehow added individual value to it? I don't understand this world.
You got invited to the auction, wow that's quite the privilege. That's a insane price 😮 put Scorsese name next to anything and it will make millions Alonso is a lovely bloke 👍
That's RIDICULOUS to have a reserve more than that ludicrous amount of money! Wonder if they just wanted to drum up attention to it so they can command more another time.. Great video Matt 👍🏴🇬🇧
That gives so much more importance to a film than any film deserves. Then again you could auction off the parts you replace for the same price as the new parts…or more.
Congrats on the 2mil subs, wow, well deserved! To me, the fact that the damage was done by a nameless stunt driver and then further with a sledgehammer, it doesn't make sense to leave it as-is, even if it appeared like that on screen. It would be a shame if this car never drove again.
Personally I don't think it should be restored. In its current state it's a film prop and from a very famous one as well. It would probably be worth more in it's current state than it would be restored.
Well Its a car from a movie about some scammer, its not like the pope drove it or i dunno Michael Jackson or whatever, car was in a movie about some drug addict scammer I don't understand why It gained such fame like its something special.
@@millsmillsmills203 well the "popular movie" was about his so still... only wannabe tony montanas would buy this. Also the fact that they smashed a real car for a movie about random thief is idiotic
I started watching you sinds that BMW 1 serie upload because I have one. I am still driving that same car today and you are right there betting on a countach. What a progress you made. Awesome!
That must have been an insane feeling to experience that car in the flesh, what a difficult decision though, you almost can't restore it but in saying that it would be epic to watch you rebuild it!
Very admirable how humble you are, Mat. Done really well for yourself and inspired so many to get up off their arse and give it a go, but always keep your feet firmly planted. Really commendable pal. Top man.👍
i was so glad to see you not get that one Matt , think it might have been your very first regret out of all the excellent rebuilds you have done so far. Keep up the great work mate, most entertaining youtube channel ever. Some better projects to tackle out there than that one👌
Way I see it it’s more art than an actual car. Personally, I think it belongs in a museum for other people to enjoy its purpose, not out on the road. like you wouldn’t want Paul Walkers supra out on the road would you? Too many trash drivers out there.
Congratulations on hitting the 2.0m subs Mat, you're a truly unique content creator, you inspire me and I'm sure many others as well.Your passion and work ethic alone is so infectious! Wishing you more success in the future, keep up the good work!
I love the enjoyment Mat brings to every video , it makes it special , but the highlight wasn't even the Lambo but Fernando he wanted to drive the Lambo 😎
This is my fav car of all time. The lambo Countache was my childhood dream car, I bought models and scale cars but could never afford one. Mat you are a legend bro! We love you in Canada man!
It’s a piece of movie history and would only be an art installation as opposed to a rebuild. However, another blinding video Mat and team HWBT. Keep them coming. You deserve everything mate. Topman
@@gymbruh1824Because there were 657 Countaches 25th anniversary edition, and only one crashed by Di Caprio for this movie. It'a a piece of art. Also Countach is my favourite car ever, second place is for diablo and third place Porsche 930 turbo. It doesn't make sense for this car to be restored by any mean.
Oh my god Mat!! From building an mk2 TT to talking with Alonso. Mate you are one of the best examples that drive me to push myself harder! I am so glad I see you grow! Best of luck!
I made a snarky comment a little while ago for which I apologise. This is a great little channel and is always fun and positive, not to mention informative. Also I think you're an excellent ambassador for Leicester, a city close to my heart. Keep it up, you're doing amazing
It means that the price didn't get to what the seller's minimum sale price was. Meaning that the bid was just cancelled and that's it. The previous owner still has the car.@@caduguardrailkingowo
So now you’ve shown that Car Verticle have the car as no damage , are Car Verticals obligated to record it damaged ? As if it is restored , nobody would know and that makes using CV pointless, does it not ?
That is the best solution for this Lambo. Restoration. Crashed car IS NOT a piece of art! Even is from good movie! And this piece do not deserve for to be destroy.
I always learn something from your videos! Today I learned that people have wildly different views of what a car is worth! $300,000 or $50 million? Sounds like a reasonable range...🤣
Hey bro was hoping to come visit you when my son and I got to the UK but things didn’t work out. I’m really proud of you bro and I look forward to seeing and following you achieve many more milestones in your channel’s progress and success.
Well done Matt, truly deserved 👏 what an epic journey you have both been on, and I can't wait to see how you are going to top this. Keep up the hard work, and I am looking forward to your next video
It’s nice you get the clothing, clap board and extras but you should get a bag of ludes too. I’m sure they’re fine with that kind of thing in Abu Dhabi.
Congrats on the 2 million subs mate! Wow that went a bit under the radar in that video! What an achievement! So glad for your family that are implied and really seems to enjoy themselves in your epic journey! Cheers from Québec Canada! 👊👍👌❤️
I have actually never seen this movie, but I did fell in love with the countach through another movie. The intro to cannonball run has a countach escaping trans am police cars and the sound and look of that car was amazing. Didn't remember it having that weird bumper, but it had a spoiler on the front. Still today as one of my top dream cars ❤
To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.
Bruv, my heart sank when that opening price hit. I really wanted to see you rebuild it. I just found your camel today and TOTALLY DIG IT! Thank you for your content!
Imagine smashing a quarter of $1 million car and it becomes worth more broken than it is worth running. This says something about the mindset of humanity..
Amazing video, followed Mat’s journey from the beginning he’s remarkable and it’s inspiring. With respect where this particular vehicle is concerned, so people have more money than sense and listening to the auctioneer and the comments of the younger generation is pure comedy. 😂😂
Best thing about that was that you got your subscribers way up there man , good for you , that auction was ridiculous, lead a bells with more money than sense . Keep it real my bro , it weren't people like that that are responsible for your you tube success .
Really enjoyed this one matt...thought for a minute you were gonna bid until the first bid...never mind, you met the man, Fernando Alonso, worth the trip alone.
@Matt I seem to remember the indicator housings on the Countach are from a Nissan 300ZX headlight housing, but don't quote me. But then, like now, they all have always had their fingers in other manufacturers to keep costs down.
you look at it as a crash damaged car but now that it was in the movie its like the dude said.. its kinda like a statue now.. its a piece of art and a collectors piece so its worth so much more than the regular price for a car like that
awesome video! so well done...i got emocionated when price was 700.000 and growing...really empathize with you in that moment. i tihnk all car lovers felt that. thank you mat.
This doesn't surprise me at all. There was a Back to the Future replica car that was made by a fan that went for 1mil, not even used in the movie. If you're a car person only, doesn't make a lot of sense especially if you would restore it. Film nerds would definitely leave it as is. Totally see both sides, just depends are your nerd-meter. Still awesome. Congrats on 2mil!
what a journey ! congratulations on 2 mil mat ! 👑

Hey bro was hoping to come visit you when my son and I got to the UK but things didn’t work out. I’m really proud of you bro and I look forward to seeing and following you achieve many more milestones in your channel’s progress and success.
Is anyone else infuriated about the car for what they did to it in the movie. I mean they could have easily used a replica.. why use the real one..
Your just too sensitive. It's a car, nothing more.
nah
Just a car worthless tbh
Thought it was a rep body kit
Grow up.
Well done Matt, truly deserved 👏 what an epic journey you have both been on, and I can't wait to see how you are going to top this. Keep up the hard work, and I am looking forward to your next video
It’s nice you get the clothing, clap board and extras but you should get a bag of ludes too. I’m sure they’re fine with that kind of thing in Abu Dhabi.

Congrats on the 2 million subs mate! Wow that went a bit under the radar in that video! What an achievement! So glad for your family that are implied and really seems to enjoy themselves in your epic journey! Cheers from Québec Canada! 👊👍👌❤️
Absolutely love this man! The business he does is fire!
I have actually never seen this movie, but I did fell in love with the countach through another movie. The intro to cannonball run has a countach escaping trans am police cars and the sound and look of that car was amazing. Didn't remember it having that weird bumper, but it had a spoiler on the front. Still today as one of my top dream cars ❤
I’m shocked they wrecked a real Lamborghini just for the movie.
Can you restore a Nissan micra
To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.
Love your vids ,Matt never fail to put a smile on peoples faces 🔥
If Fernando Alonso would restore, you’ve got your answer…..
Bruv, my heart sank when that opening price hit. I really wanted to see you rebuild it.
I just found your camel today and TOTALLY DIG IT! Thank you for your content!
If u pay this much for a crashed car then it's not meant to be restored. This is ART. In 10, 20 50 years time this car will be priceless
Unbelievable content.. so proud of what you’ve achieved, such an inspiration!
If you are able to 3D Lazer scan good parts... I know that someone could 3D print it, metal or some super strong polymer. You looked into that?
Imagine smashing a quarter of $1 million car and it becomes worth more broken than it is worth running. This says something about the mindset of humanity..
Maybe the person that purchased it will pay you to fix it on your channel.
THX FOR HELPING ME FIGHT CANCER!! You inspire me to keep fighting thank you very much Matt Keep going I know I am now that I seen you do the best!
Rich guy buys this car, gets it appraised for 6 million, then donates to a museum for a nice little tax write off.
Who cares about dicaprio anyway? The car is unique , better if Red. As a wreck, it's not worth much at all. £10k🎉🎉
This
70k tops
There was two cars, one for all the driving and the one Leo crawled out of and then this one that was crashed.
if anyone restores this car....they've completely missed the point of it's worth
you all probably missed the point of cars if you think it's actually worth 1.3m
@@swilleh_ exactly..it's famous BECAUSE it was smashed up in an iconic movie...if it's restored, it'll be worth a third of it's current value
You don't know what cars stand for if you seriously want to keep it wrecked
I liked my own comment
I liked your comment twice
Amazing video, followed Mat’s journey from the beginning he’s remarkable and it’s inspiring. With respect where this particular vehicle is concerned, so people have more money than sense and listening to the auctioneer and the comments of the younger generation is pure comedy. 😂😂
That’s not the one in the movie 🎥 that’s the back up car 🚗 but the nice one sold for north of one milion dollars and was in perfect condition….💰😊
Unbelievable price ! 1 of 1 but jeez .. somebody loves that film !
Awesome Matt. Congrats on the 2 MIL viewers! You are the best RUclipsr out there. Keep making contents.
meeting Fernando Alonso irl is damn and being a F1 fan damn
Best thing about that was that you got your subscribers way up there man , good for you , that auction was ridiculous, lead a bells with more money than sense . Keep it real my bro , it weren't people like that that are responsible for your you tube success .
Really enjoyed this one matt...thought for a minute you were gonna bid until the first bid...never mind, you met the man, Fernando Alonso, worth the trip alone.
Congratulations on 2 million Matt
Moved from Sheffield to the US 30 years ago pal. You will do well in USA pal
🎉
“Searched on eBay”. 😂😂😂 We love your one liners, never miss you on RUclips 🙏
@Matt I seem to remember the indicator housings on the Countach are from a Nissan 300ZX headlight housing, but don't quote me. But then, like now, they all have always had their fingers in other manufacturers to keep costs down.
Mat absolutely killing it. Props to you mate 🙏
I’ve got a 2008 Citroen berlingo multi space if you fancy doing that up, it’s an appreciating classic for sure.
you look at it as a crash damaged car but now that it was in the movie its like the dude said.. its kinda like a statue now.. its a piece of art and a collectors piece so its worth so much more than the regular price for a car like that
awesome video! so well done...i got emocionated when price was 700.000 and growing...really empathize with you in that moment. i tihnk all car lovers felt that. thank you mat.
Matt, it must be nice to have you as a friend.what a great gentleman you're. Cheers
Not even a fan of cars but, I'm obsessed by this channel.
You are just the best car show on youtube atm. Its just like that! :)
Love your channel and it inspired me to start my own. Not at the level you are but building in confidence.
This doesn't surprise me at all. There was a Back to the Future replica car that was made by a fan that went for 1mil, not even used in the movie. If you're a car person only, doesn't make a lot of sense especially if you would restore it. Film nerds would definitely leave it as is. Totally see both sides, just depends are your nerd-meter. Still awesome. Congrats on 2mil!
exactly how he leaves a Diddy party.
🎯
i honestly wouldn't rebuild it. it's cinematic history, and arguably one of scorcese's best films.
2:37 that green 70-73 Trans Am behind you😍
There was no doubt in my mind it would hit 1 million. It's an art piece, as the guy said
