I always thought he'd sound a bit more aristocratic........ !

What a car, what a guy. Awesome.

I must try harder at work.

[M3John]

Lovely video there and a very lucky chap !

There are certainly hints of plum trying to show through . Great video though, just needs a bit of Matt Monro over the initial driving sequence!

"I didn't know how many miles I'd done, the speedo was broken".

Nice way to keep 1000 miles off your Countach, Harry!

Not sure what you are hearing but sounds like Prince Charles to me!

True, true - I think I just expected him to have a bit of Michael Winner in him too (ooo-errr)

Good lord, do I want a Countach.

What's that huge box to the left of the dials, a stereo?

[Stig]

LOL at the creaking etc. when Harry gets out of the car at the end where he's waiting for the Eurotunnel.

Epic car, but for me the Athena bedroom poster dream will always be better than the reality (but I'd still have one )

Think it's the head unit. Proper 80's bling

[spurs-442]

What a noise!

It's a Portman optional fit when new (it was to house stuff like those new fangled CD playing things!).

I spy a Balboni signature!

Very cool video.

The article in Evo this month explains what is indeed a Balboni autograph; it broke down (alternator failure) outside the factory late into the evening. Balboni calls a friend to get it fixed over night for the princely sum of 100 Euros!

I was also surprised when Harry sounded like a 'very' normal chap, for some reason I'd excpected a few hooray henry effects.

Good man. Earned it, uses it. Top marks!

Great Video, would love to know how Harry manages to buy all these cars, Zonda, Countach, 550 Barchetta etc, cant earn that much from owning a car magazine??? i think i read somewhere he is a farmer as well. Must farm bloody expensive animals.

Didn't he sell the magazine to Dennis publishing?
