In this thrilling video from Mat Armstrong's channel, he takes us on a journey into the world of the legendary Lamborghini Countach. But not just any Countach, oh no. This is the very same car that featured in the iconic film "The Wolf of Wall Street." And guess what? It's up for sale! Mat heads to the Bonhams auction in Abu Dhabi to get a closer look at this piece of automotive history.

As he arrives at the auction, Mat can't contain his excitement. He's about to witness the sale of a car that could potentially fetch millions of dollars. The anticipation is palpable as he enters the auction hall and sees the lineup of multi-million pound cars that are also being auctioned. But the star of the show is undoubtedly the battered and bruised Countach.

Mat chats with the auction host, who is shocked to hear that Mat plans to restore the car. He believes it should be treated as a piece of art, not to be tampered with. But Mat is determined to bring this iconic car back to its former glory. He knows it won't be an easy task, as the car has suffered extensive damage during the filming of "The Wolf of Wall Street."

The car arrives on a pallet truck, looking worse for wear. It's clear that the film crew went all out to make it look convincingly crashed. They even went as far as ramming it with a pickup truck and using a sledgehammer on various parts. But does all this damage increase the car's value? Mat ponders this question as he examines the battered Countach.

Despite the extensive damage, the car is expected to sell for a hefty sum of 1.5 to 2 million dollars. The question remains: should it be restored or left as is? Mat seeks the opinions of others, and while some believe it should be restored, others argue that its current condition adds to its appeal. Mat is torn, but he leans towards restoring it.

As the auction begins, the bidding quickly escalates. The price soars past Mat's estimated value, reaching a staggering 1.35 million dollars. History is made as this becomes the most expensive crash-damaged car ever sold. Although Mat doesn't win the car, he reflects on the incredible experience and expresses his gratitude for reaching 2 million subscribers on his channel.

In conclusion, this video takes us on a thrilling journey into the world of the Lamborghini Countach. We witness the excitement and anticipation at the Bonhams auction, where the iconic car from "The Wolf of Wall Street" is up for sale. Mat contemplates the possibility of restoring the damaged car and explores the cost of repairing it. The auction culminates in a record-breaking sale, leaving Mat in awe of the entire experience.
