I like his statement “we bought the car twice, but we didn’t pay for it.” I wish I could make purchases like that. The unique payment option described by him would open up some new possibilities, haha. Then I found out that it was a buying without buying. That almost like in “Enter the dragon” fighting without fighting uttered by Bruce Lee.

I love this guy so much. When you look at him it's like who the heck is this sleezeball, but then he talks and is so knowledgeable and explains things so we'll that you can then believe he owns an amazing exotic car dealership. Seems like a nice guys. Good video!

The real irony is the green prototype in the factory museum should actually be red. It was red when they used it as a test car and was only painted green shortly before the factory sold it

It was the first Countach I got to see and photograph in real life , the prototype (London Motorshow, Bertone Stand 1974 ) It was green then and apparently was painted in a rush as the part of the side naca ducts on the doors was not painted black yet .Oddly is was easy to look closely at it because most of the other car enthusiasts were in a crowd around the Lotus stand looking at the new Lotus Esprit!

This is the first time I've seen John. His voice is very calming and he seems like a really authentic guy. I hope he finally gets that car ... but only when it's time.

Merry Christmas ed! Thank you for a year full of stories

The Verde Countach is beautiful! I hope it gets restored!!

I have to admit, that car being a very early version, without the wheel arch flares and other body line distractions, reveals to true vision of Gandini, and looks downright MEAN! Just a nasty wedge that means business, no screwing around, no “flair flares”. Awesome. Verde just tops it off.

Thanks John....and less than 10k to 1M subs 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The wheel flares and front spoiler make it look WAY better.

There is two types of people. Those who like the original Countach LP400 from the mid 70s that clearly looks more refined, stylish and beautiful. And those who like the absurd and crazy looking 80s one.

You have to go under the skin to really appreciate the engineering of early Lamborghinis. The beautiful spaceframe of a Countach, the engine/gearbox/differential of a Miura. Love the story of this amazing LP400. Merry Christmas!

the coolest countach will always be the one that appeared in sunny in philly

This guy is awesome

I was a child, very little. I was standing with my parents at a closed railway crossing in Siofok / Hungary, which was one of a few places we could go for vacation as a east german family. And exact this car stoped. It was a very young guy driving it and the car had a number plate from switzerland. I have it in mind like it was yesterday...

Sooo, he finally got the car :D

I find the Periscopo the least beautiful of the entire Countach line. But at the same time agree they should be returned to original if modified. I don’t like any modification of any Countach. Except USDOT bumper deletes, of course.

I liked this video better thank the others!

I love Johns stories

i like it when the titles arent greatly exaggerated

Guy tried to tie the car up with a .5% deposit until he could figure out how to pay for it. Then gets mad months later when the old guy tells him to pound sand. You pay your deposit, expect it to never return if you don't follow through on your part of the deal. I'm surprised the old guy kept the car that long. Sketchy people buy used Hondas on Craisglist like this, I don't know who this guy thinks he is.

We'll certainly be right here to see this car come good. We're certain it'll come back to you, and we'll be waiting here to see it come back round again.

I like this guy

I spoke with Seth at DD Classics about a Tahiti Blue 1984 LP500S that he took in on trade for this modified black LP400. The Tahiti blue Countach was well known in the car show scene in Europe, so the car is with that owner now.

Bob Wallace a great mechanic who worked at the Lamborghini factory and developed lots of cars and motors and was also a Kiwi,he sadly passed away a few years ago rip

I went to DD classics and sat in it!

Decades ago I had a book titled "Supercars". An early green Countach was on the cover.

Funny story..... the green over tobacco countach at the Museum wasn't in its original specs (as shown on the pics) from the unveiling and it has undergone restoration (still undergoing) to bring it back to original... and, originally, it was red....

The best Countach is a Walter Wolf Countach ..what I’d do for a Wolf or a Wolf Cosworth

Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. This Countach got away because there was no leap of faith. A car this rare REQUIRES something to go wrong.

I wouldn't even have paid as much as USD500k ounce I found out the original was modified so extensively.

I live in a small town in North FL and I would love to know what town/city in North FL this car was in? I may have once ran across this same car??
