When I was a boy my neighbor bought a 85 Countach. I studied all the lines and curves and drew the car over a thousand times. You are right! It does look sexy all soaped up!

I can't believe no respiratory protection was utilized when cleaning this at the beginning... great outcome regardless. Nice work guys.

This happens more than you might think. Life happens, time passes by and situations happen and before you know it, this barn find happens.

You were a hero tackling such contamination! You made the car look fantastic. Soon after the turn of the century I came across a black anniversary edition, covered in thick grime in the rear yard of a regular family car dealership (Sturgess of Leicester England) . Long forgotten as it did not fit in with their stock. It had 30,000 miles with a large rear gull wing. Throughout my life it had/ still is my fantasy vehicle but I never imagined being able to own one. I did some instant mental arithmatic and calculated that I could at a pinch scrape together and borrow a total of £ 31,500. (U.K. pounds) and so I offered every last one. But the dealer wouldn't budge on £ 35,000. So I walked away with head hung desolately low. So close yet so far away! Such is life.

This is part of the reality of supercars. They are great until you have a mechanical issue, or need to change a lot of service items at once. Owners stung by the price park them up except for special occasions. But the stinging cost is still in their mind, so special occasions are few and far between. That is how barn finds are born, and why a large proportion of supercars are still out there. Cars with a more economical cost of ownership like muscle cars are more likely to be run to death.

It’s a pleasure watching and listening to a master of his craft.

I can't imagine owning such a beautiful car and letting it go for so long without cleaning it from time to time, and letting rodents take over. Glad to see you doing an amazing job cleaning the Countach.

@@strangeclouds7 i think its one of those things..out of sight out of mind.. and it probably has some problem that makes it a big investment to fix..no one wants to spend $20,000 to 50,000 to fix a car....so you know the car is worth something but just expensive enough to keep putting it off... and never checking in on it enough to see what the mice have done...

Some people have too much money & lose interest as they buy more unnecessary crap. It’s a shame to see a valuable vehicle like this left to rot for 20 years 😢

Amazing job! I stood next to this particular Countach for a picture as a young child at the Toledo OH Autorama in circa ~1985/1986! That experience, just standing next to it, kicked off a forever love of cars! I drew this car hundreds of times after visiting it 👍👍

That’s crazy, I’m from Toledo. A detail shop here years ago had a Diablo that sat out front of the building and as I kid I would beg my mom to stop on the way home from school so I could take pictures and look at it

Just subbed today man! What a fantastic channel, and what an absolutely amazing vehicle this is. The pulley and cable set up is the handbrake system, very cool in its ingenuity for the time. 🤟

First thing I did when I bought my old Diablo was get the spoiler off but I love the Countach with and without the spoiler. Great job

Whenever I get my dream car Larry, I'm coming straight to you. I LOVE everything you do. Unreal video!

That is really nice, your expertise and detailing is flawless, awesome video, thanks for sharing.

i like how they use different techniques or applications to find the one that works best. this behavior indicates or shows their minds are open which is a very rare find indeed.

Even after all these year, still one of the most beautiful and iconic!

I love ammo, he gets to work on some of the coolest cars

Im a photographer and I do light painting, so to see this beauty photographed with that technique was amazing!!

In the late 80s the summer holidays as I finished primary school waiting to start high school, I was walking through a sleepy little village in Norfolk UK where I lived and it was sunday and I remember hearing it before I saw it, turning around and seeing this beautiful beast of a car purr along slowly though a 40mph... I knew what it was but never thought.. all I could do was stand there gawking as it glided by, I've never been much into cars but that memory still makes me smile, all these amazing super cars are more common now but back then unless I was dragged resentfully (I had a pony) to some car race thing with family, big powerful cars generally weren't often seen on the rds and 30 plus years later it still gets me. This was amazing to watch, thanks for the smile, flood of memories and most of all for restoring this amazing car with such care.

If this video was 12 hours long I would have still sat completely still and watched the entire thing, I wouldn’t have even gone to the bathroom! This is the top quantity car nerd video! Dope!

Larry, I have to admit I got a chuckle that you actually labeled the “Before” and “After” shots. 😂

Thats the most beautiful shade of red ever, this car takes me right back to the 80s when us kids always had one of these in yellow in a scalextric set

Thanks y'all to bring back the pride'n joy to this beast. What a pitty the "before" was... my god!

I can’t imagine ever becoming so preoccupied and bored with a Lambo that I’d leave it sitting for 20 days, much less 20 years.

Great job on the cleaning and restoration of this Lambroghini. The mice should have been more considerate of your future restoration than to leave their waste behind but it looks like you were able to overcome all of this through your intense and diligent efforts.

I love your show "bringing old cars back to life"

I just watched a guy clean a car for almost a half hour and wished it was longer 😂Very well done! Reading the comments it is really cool to see how many fellow Countach fans there are. When it came out I was still a young kid, but it changed the way I looked at cars forever. Still one of, if not the most beautiful cars ever created in my opinion (1985 5000S). A timeless classic that was the foundation of today's hypercar - I was kinda disappointed with this year's remake.. they should have made it more like the original instead of putting such a modern spin on it.

The reason the new versions of exotic cars don't look as cool is because back then the Italian & German car makers had car designers who were actual artists. They didn't have computers to draw the designs. They literally had to draw & sketch everything by hand but first had to use their brains and imagination to develope a design. Today the designs are all done by computer software. That's why they look so artificial. There's no human being behind the design. No thought. No imagination! And that's why those exotic designs of 80's have so much character & attention to detail because they were designed by actual human beings. The artist who's responsible for the 85 Countach said he came up with that particular design because one day Ferrucio Lamborghini had a meeting with his designers and told them he was sick and tired of the same old car looks. He said everything looked either like a bubble or a box. He said Ferrucio told them to come up with something futuristic. He said Ferrucio gave them pictures of satellites and space ships and said "think about drawing something like this but with wheels on it" lmao!! Well they came with the only possible such thing when they drew the Countach. The lead artist said they also were tired of the bubble or box look as well & decided to think "outside the box" & go through the Unicode block of geometric shapes & symbols for their design on the Countach and it DEFINITELY shows. The influence of that Unicode block is all over the Countach & then it was copied later by Ferrari, Porche & Lotus. As an artist myself, I immediately noticed the geometric pattern of quadrilaterals & hexagons. Sort of a fusion of the 2 shapes. Look at the rear lights. They are hexagonal shaped. The windows too. In fact that pattern is EVERYWHERE on the Countach from interior to exterior. But these are not a standard hexagon shape, it's a quadrilateral/hexagonal combination. Once u notice that pattern in the design of the Countach, then u can't stop unseeing it everywhere. It's brilliant. It was so well thought out, deliberated, implemented, and drawn by man. But the finished product couldn't have come about if not for a thought. We all know that computers don't think. They compute. And that's the difference between that eras exotic car designs & today's.

Damn, Tony was a wild boy back in the days! hehehe Awesome detail as always Larry, so nice to see an icon come back to life

You guys are the real legends 🙌

Watching the whole process from the mess it was to absolutely gorgeous looking car was most satisfying !

I can't comprehend how this car was left to be a mouse toilet for so many years. It doesn't cost much to prevent this. Especially on one of the most iconic cars in automobile history.

I grew up the 80s the Countach was a super cool car. On occasion i would see one, but now i am guessing what i saw where just kit cars. I didn't realize how few of this year and model made it stateside. Great car, great video!

WOW, so glad I stumbled across you and your channel. LOVE it, takes me back 28 years ago when I had my own little detail shop. NOTHING like what you're doing but still cool. How much would someone expect to pay for a detail like the Lambo got?

Those mice were living a life of luxury and they didn’t even know it!!
