About

Celebrating the world's most characterful cars via video. Bio Best known for founding evo magazine with a group of talented motoring journalists back in 1998 which, much to our surprise, went on to become a global player in the automotive media arena. Also wrote stuff for Octane Magazine and Sunday Times. Left evo in September 2013 and became an outside advisor to Jaguar Land Rover 2013-18, helping JLR set up Special Operations. Hooked on cars from an early age, although my first love was motorbikes, the first one arriving when I was 11. Swapped to 4-wheels when I turned 17 and have been lucky enough to have owned or driven almost every interesting car ever made. This YouTube channel is my way of sharing this passion for all things motoring with an equally passionate audience.

Video Description

A Harry's garage video special on what makes a 1987 Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalve special. Also includes a history on the Countach and driving impressions gained after four years and 18,000km of ownership. Video brought to you in association with www.footmanjames.co.uk Since filming this video, I've been sent new info regarding the total number of fuel-injected Countach QV built, which I've quoted below. Turns out the mix is not 50:50 FI/carb I quoted in the video after all. My thanks to Joe Sackey for sending me the following information. "Out of the 610 QVs built between 1985 and 1988, approximately 220 were FI cars, with 80% of those coming to the USA. Of the 657 25th Anniversarios built between 1988 and 1990, we know about 200 were FI cars, with 187 of those coming to the USA".
