- My Lamborghini Countach went up to Iain Tyrrell because the gearbox was making horrid noises but once the engine and gearbox had been removed, there were a few other problems to investigate too..

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.
@@danielmarshall4587 me too!
The only thing better than a Harry or Tyrrell video is a Harry AND Tyrrell video!
The British way to enjoy car videos 🇬🇧
More tea Vicar?
"you haven't been driving it gently have you?"
"No, it's a Lamborghini"
Brilliant. This is why I watch all of Harry's videos. 👍🏽
"I do not like breaking the law officer but I'm under strict instructions not to drive this gently as it destroys the valve seats."
"Ok. On your way but be wary of other road users."
😂😂
@@thefamilyrobbo I genuinely think this would work on an Italian police officer. I was once pulled over for driving with a little too much enthusiasm a little south of Turin (great little road, pretty quiet, 300zx) and I told him I didn't really have an excuse, I'd only recently gotten the car and got caught up in the fun. He told me, in broken English, that he didn't blame me, it's a great road, but I should watch for police cars more carefully in future 😂
He didn't want me to slow down, just wanted me to avoid cops
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@helplmchoking From what I can remember of Italian police officers in the 1960s, remembering that carabinieri are not the same as municipal and state police, you might well have gotten away with it. Like in most Western societies, they have less leeway these days and they've been forbidden to have a sense of humour. You wouldn't want to try it with a Swiss police officer.
@@helplmchoking Great story 😀
Cars like this deserve owners like you, Harry.
It helps having a bank balance, cars like that are not for the poor ( like me, ha ha )
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!
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.
I could listen to Harry and Iain talking all day! The two best channels on CZcams.
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.
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 CZcamsrs out there keep up your fantastic work thanks you regards Tristan
'You haven't been driving it too gently?'
'No, it's a Lambourghini'.
Love that.
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 like this guy, so relaxing to listen to. He gives off a Mrs. Doubtfire vibe. LOL
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!
The two Ronnies are back at it. Lighthearted fun on a very seriously mega car. Great job!
"TWO RONNIES!...'
Think they could talk for weeks. Absolutely great. Carry on lad's
Four forkin k-handles
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 think looking at those rear tyres and imagining them near the legal limit would make a bank manager cry 👍🏻🏴
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.
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
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 will hazard a guess anyone could have this guy work on their car
Money talks lol
@@kells77 Have you tried to book a car in for Iain's attention ?
@@johnc6040 no I am a mechanic so don’t need to
Build my own engines etc
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.
What a joy it is to watch these two!
Love such knowledgeable discussions and detail. Harry... you always deliver. Such passion
I could watch these two talk about cars all day and all night. Thanks guys.
I could listen to Harry and Iain chatting about Lamborghini trivia for days on end! Always a pleasure these videos.
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.
There used to be many around, now most of them only know how to plug in a diagnostic cable 😕
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.
@@markmiwurdz202 Quality work, first time, every time is the ethic of all of Iain's calibre, irrespective of trade or calling.
@@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.
@@rustyjeep2469 Fair point!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 to see you going all in to keep the countach tip top , will be loved for years and years to come
I was starting to yell at my screen..."ask about the gearbox Harry, ask about the gearbox!", you finally got to it. Great stuff.
two pillars of automotive passion.
Two of the very best in the automotive world.. a delight to sit back and soak up yet another excellent video. Bravo!
Sunday evening is Harry time! Every Sunday, you are so good to us! Especially with both Ian and yourself, Sir!
Love Iain and Harry chatting over cars , it's just fab the way they discuss the way too proceed 😀😀
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.
A pleasure to watch two very knowledgeable and down to earth guys doing what they love the most.
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.
I do love following along on these journeys, and you must have the best mechanic in the universe! Seeing him tune a V12 with hosepipe...
"You haven't been driving the car too gently have you?" The best question I'll hear today.
HARRY I JUST LOVE THAT YOUR WILLING TO DO WHATS REQUIRED TO KEEP THESE BEAUTIES AT THEIR PEEK PERFORMANCE BRO, YOU ARE AWESOME HAZZA 💪👏🔥❤️🔥👍👌😎😎😎
Could spend a few hours ideally sat in a pub just listening to those two. Proper cars, proper blokes, great!
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 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 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.
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. :-)
I thoroughly enjoy these detailed car restoration/refresh videos thank you.
These are such wonderful videos with you and Ian. Keep them coming.
Another great video update. Detail and honesty, I love it. Thank you.
Could listen all day to you both 👏👏👏
Harry: The car has become part of me.
Iain: Exxxcccellent.
Its an absolute pleasure to listen to the knowlegde these 2 have.
A video with Harry and Ian is pleasant and informative.
This channel has a true passion for motoring.
Loving the continuing story about the Countach Harry. Already cant wait for the next episode!
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 !
Really enjoying this series on the Countach
Always a interesting video when two car guys get together, fantastic stuff thanks for sharing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I could listen to these two talk cars all day long 👌👌
"it was driven too gently, that caused the problem with the engine" bellissimo!!!!
Fantastic video with the professor!
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.
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 🙂
Somebody I know would have enjoyed this video very much, thank you Harry.
Great video, Love the Countach.
Wow, I agree with everything Tristan Bird just said. Brilliant, so enjoyable to watch John Philpott
Very good as always light hearted and informative .
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".
Thanks! Love to watch these. All the best.
My favorite channel on YT!! Two great gents.
Wonderful piece of 20th century automotive design.
Having these 2 guys approving your choice of car and servicing it would be a masterclass.
Fantastic update!
Absolutely love watching the facial expressions with you two 😁
"the previous owner to you hasn't driving it too gently" what a cheeky yet sneaky thing to say hahahahaah
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.
Love these updates, What a car!
Nice to see the two best reviewers in the business working together. It won't be too long before this hit the 1million viewing mark.
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!
Awesome video as usual Harry, could listen to you too talk all day
Brilliant clip at the end. Cheers
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
My wallet and I greatly enjoy watching these Countach updates, they’re quite gripping.
Thanks for the update.
this pair of absolute legends
Excellent video .
"A farmer has been living in in it for 10 years." 🤣🤣🤣 Classic.
Great work Harry, keep it up 👍
Ian is great. You’ve got the right man on the job.
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.
The floor mats look like offcuts from a cheap rug factory :-D
Great update.
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.
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
When Harry and Jonny post new videos at the same second.. time to flip a coin which to watch first 😄
Harry every time.
Johnny?
I imagine it's Johnny Smith, from the Late Brake Show.....another good channel
Very interesting. Black exhaust pipe will look great.
LOVELY, thank you both.
It’s nice to see it going back to standard .
Thank you..... Harry.
