In this episode, Iain finds himself surrounded by not one, but five Lamborghini Countach models, all coincidentally in the workshop at the same time.
Join Iain as he takes us on an exclusive tour of three Lamborghini Countach LP400 S models, a Countach LP500 S, and a US-spec Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole (QV).
Iain shares his own journey with these legendary cars, reflecting on his 40 years of experience and the motivation that ignited his enthusiasm, which came from a 1973 Motor Show Review magazine. With his extensive knowledge, Iain shows the differences between these cars and digs into some of the difficulties encountered in designing a supercar ahead of its time.
In an exciting finish, Iain takes his first drive in a US-spec QV, and you are invited to join him. Witness the tremendous power and unique characteristics of this legendary car as Iain puts it through its paces.
Don't miss this episode, packed full of historical insights, technical expertise, and the personal touch that only Iain can deliver.
