Lamborghini Countach QV update. Extracting the engine & gearbox at Iain Tyrrell Classics 

An old car is easy to work on try working on a modern car lol

@@markwilliams5654 If you watch Salvage Rebuilds you will see how easy they rip the front off most cars and just lift the engine/box out the front! That Countach didn't make it easy to get the engine out, nothing came apart to aid access?

@@markwilliams5654 the point was with the boss and customer watching..... err lol

That guy under the car has bigger cojones than I will ever have.

And RU-vid land watching. Respect.

Todays "L J K Setright"

Can wait to see that video.

@@jeffreyrwilliams9345 Almost a polar opposite, if you ask me, but equally as entertaining. Fans of this channel are birds of a feather!

@@jeffreyrwilliams9345 OH YES.

Yeah, I like they way Ǝ B was hidden until just before destination. Brilliant masquerade.

Especially with a check engine light on the Chirons dash.

Huh. I was thinking the same thing. It looked like he was witnessing the birth of his firstborn. And you could see the oh hell this is going to be bloody expensive face as well when they were looking at the engine afterwards.

Given he drove it hundreds of miles with bits of metal swilling around the gearbox, I hope he treats his kids better

@@InspirationSessions 🤣🤣🤣

@@foxxster3565 I'm surprised how pedantic he was being about it being spendy, when A: it's an old Lambo, never gonna be cheap. And B: he can clearly afford it.

@@dons1932 ha ha, rich people are often the most careful with their pennies in my experience

That he knows the drivetrains of SO MANY marques so intimately is almost beyond comprehension.

He's got a great sense of humour as well, though I can imagine he demands a lot from the lads. I wonder how many Iain Tyrrell technicians it takes to change an Italian light bulb?

@@toastrytoaster Hard not to be when you're old, rich and work on very expensive cars all the time. Pretention comes with the territory lol.

And humour!

@@dreamcrusher112 Pretention? Not sure that's even a word.

Yeah, unfortunately most of the Lambo engine extractions we see involve a telephone pole.

Yes! That couldn't have been done by accident! Harry and Co. just wanted our automotive entertainment to keep rolling along all day!

Forza Ferrari !

Not to mention "I only wanted an oil change!" :-D

And Harry quipping about the labour cost for the extraction at 11:50 , "Well that didn't take long, 80 quid an hour, so, 40 quid?"

Brit humor at its best... "... we got a good price for the carburetors.. "

"and we changed the headlamp you brought it for" he says over engine stripped Countach :D :D

@@norton750commando But Harry didn't realise that is per person and how many were involved in extracting the engine...... 😁😁

As one does !

Flash Harry!

Bit UAE-flash git for me, personally I prefer Harry when he’s driving less rarified stuff, there are enough vids of bloody Bugs out there by now

Absolutely amazing. Makes a Jag engine removal look simple.....

It's the £3m + that sends a shiver down my spine 😳

Nope. Not just you.

I had the privilege of a few days with a Veyron a couple years back and I find the Chiron far nicer to look at but the Veyron had a similar effect - until I got inside. I think they look a little too pristine and perfectly solid from a distance, especially on film, but in person they have a little more presence. It's the interior that really does it, though, obviously very different to a classic - there's clearly a lot more weight, solidity and structure to everything but the materials, the design and the tactility is genuinely amazing. But, like the speed, it absolutely doesn't come across without actually sitting inside the things, like how we all know a Tesla is fast but you can't really get the feeling across without driving one.

it's that shite colour scheme, I've seen much more gorgeous chirons on youtube

Its hideous to be honest

Despite the price of these cars...they are unreliable at best....U would expect if you pay dearly for a car...it would run everytime.

@@phillipweissburg1882 who said they are unreliable? some kids on reddit?

You don't own this care because you can't afford it.

@@johnsmith1474 probably wanna learn to spell 3 letter words before you try insulting random people the internet, go back call of duty please.

Yeah, fully clean the engine/box/all underside!

@@robinhooduk8255 Sadly, there's always one, isn't there?

My local garage says all makes and models so I assume they have one of these lifts too.

@@gpk6458 🤣🤣

I did wonder at everyone leaning all over it so soon after Ian had said about that..!!

Plenty happened in 1821 , Constable completed the Haywain, a masterpiece as is the Countach.

Agreed, but it's also strangely comforting to know that a company like Iain's buy some of their equipment from Machine Mart like we mere mortals! :-P

Quite right: it's never about the purchase price! My v12 Ferrari experience still makes my wallet wince, and not a day goes by when I regret freeing myself from it's menacing presence 😅

Well it is a vag car.

VW thing. They all do that

I would check it every day! 😉

I can't believe he even hesitated. Straight yes!!! But then he has been driving it with a shattered gearbox for 12 years.

Knowledge is power and a leak down test is quick and easy way to find out.

@@_Rich_. He is a multi millionaire with a garage full of the world's finest. Regardless of cost nobody will ever write off an original Countach that can easily be rectified.

@@dizzy2020 He ignored the gearbox for 12 years.

I guess an engine rebuild is on the cards 😉 (Harry won't be able to resist)

It did remind me of the scene in Jaws, with the sharks strung up,..

Italian designers sneer at any design compromise for easier maintenence.

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 And yet they were smart enough to build straight roads to shorten the journey.

Don't be so ridiculous

I agree. Difficult to think otherwise if you have your head screwed on the right way..

"You're" not "your"...

@@lrcb40 so sory teecha 4 my tiepo.

only people who do not drive their cars do that

I don’t see why keeping an engine and engine compartment clean is only for a garage queen 🤔 especially a classic car like the ones Mr T works on as getting rid of all the grit and grime makes it easier to see where an oil leak is coming for and it’s sooo much nicer to work on a clean car than one covered in 40 year old muck. Although I agree that cars are to be driven, these cars here are also to be looked at in awe and it’s just a bit more satisfying to look at something that’s clean….and looking at Mr T’s video from today I guess he agrees 😏
