WHAT A PLEASURE it was to join Harry on this episode! So enjoyable to talk with a consummate, passionate and knowledgeable colleague around our favourite subject! Definitely a day to remember - made me feel like I was a kid in a massive toy slash candy store. Serious case of drooling and bug eyes (thanks for editing that part out Harry!). Still gushing about the day in conversations with all my friends. The 2nd half of this will go live on my KZfaq channel this Thursday at 6PM U.K. time (kzfaq.info). If you’re curious to see how I experiment with a “fine-tuning” of the legendary and sacrosanct F40 design, be sure to catch it. Hoping I don’t upset the Mafia or the Pope... 😉

So Harry says, "today we're going to be joined by Frank Stephenson and have a chat about cars" Only Harry has friends of this caliber. Well done Harry.

For a few weeks now Frank Stephenson is all over KZfaq

The Countachs’ shape is incredible. There’s nothing like it.

‘I love the mesh’ ‘I hate meshes’ ‘I do too’

This channel is getting better and better, something I thought was impossible

The original countach without all the stuck on bits is achingly pretty.

The Countach is a continuation of 1970s design. The F40 was a vision of the upcoming 1990s. You’d really need to compare a Diablo with the F40 to be apples and apples.

Best vid I've seen for ages. This guy carries through the childhood dream in car design into adulthood. A true artist and he seems like the kinda fella you would want to share a pint with. Good work Mr. Metcalfe!

Glass over the engine? Jaguar XJ13, 1966. Such a beautiful engine to display as well.

That has got to be one of the most fascinating videos I've watched on car design and the future of cars. Superb, more please, Harry.

I'm in my upper 40's now. I think many my age grew up with the famous Lamborghini poster on the wall. Also, let's not forget the Cannonball Run blockbuster movie. If you were from that era then it will always be the Countach. You just had to live it. 👍

"you can't beat a knob" - Frank Stephenson

As a car designer, Frank is one of my idols. I had a chance to spend quite a bit of time chatting with him at the Mclaren tent during Monterey car week some years back. I was a design student then, and he was very gracious with his time, and offered to look at my sketches and give feedback. Thanks for this Harry!

"Those are the people we need to eliminate from the gene pool." YES, a man who speaks honestly!

Watching these two talk about cars was the most enjoyable hour of the year.

For me it’s the Bedford Rascal

The gills below the f40s wing is what gets me

Fascinating interview and talk with two of the most insightful people on cars and design. Great to see this!

I'm Italian and i felt so well respected and represented , Mr.Harry and Mr.Frank (and a lot of English people in general) have so much culture in italian cars history and cars in general, they are gold.

what a treat! Two of the best car guys on KZfaq together discussing two of the most iconic cars of all time. Fantastic, Harry & Frank,

The automotive collaboration I knew I need it... Thank you! You both are the proof that "being a KZfaqr" isn't just for young lads. You are killing it with the content you are uploading! Thanks to both of you!

One of my favorite episodes of any car channel. An absolute pleasure to be a "virtual" fly on the wall for what looked like two friends talking about their shared passion.

The fastest hour of my life. What a wonderful video. I've had a 308 for 2 years and still stare at all the lines from different angles. I'm constantly finding new design characteristics to appreciate on her. Thanks again for sharing Harry!

Keep them coming Harry Your films are one of the few Joy's I have during lockdown

Brilliant video Harry. I could listen to Frank for hours and hours. Harry, Frank and Ian together would be a mega night down the pub.

Talking time with Harry, and the minutes are running so quickly! This video is really near a hour long... It does not feel this long. Two enthusiastic gentlemen talking about car design, brilliant education and entertainment! Thank you so much for this great video with the legendary Frank Stephenson, I can't wait to see the F40 Video on his channel! Stay healthy! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great format!! Refreshing to see a designer share the stage with their creations. What a unique perspective that only Harry can bring us. More videos like this, please! 👍🏼

Another great video Harry. It's up there with the Gordon Murray interview. Great piece of work 👍🏼

Love them both, but the F40 just is, & probably will always be, the ultimate supercar!

My 2 favourite car 'KZfaqrs'! Amazing to see them on the same video. Thanks, could have watched for hours!

How cool was that! Stellar guest + great topic + Harry = A damn good, cheerful, interesting and happy episode! THX guys 👍🏼😃

The first time I saw an f40 I fell in love with it immediately.

Thank you, Harry, for this session with designer Frank Stephenson. Such insight. So informative. Brilliant. A much appreciated escape from the world.

I really enjoyed the bit about the beer can Mini exhaust. Great story

“...eliminate from the gene pool..” 😂

Been (im)patiently waiting for days. It’s finally here.

Who would have thought that I could watch 2 old men talking about 2 old cars for an hour!! But I loved it. Harry's garage is my favorite channel!

Nice to invite my favorite (car)designer Frank. I got several of his car-designs in the garage in real life (Mini, F430, BMW). I met him once at Pebble Beach talking to him about his 2nd passion; Guitars (hand-build) from Spain and of course watches... It was the following year we both met you, at Gooding auction of Pebble Beach, next to a countach Periscopo, sold at $1,9 milj the next day. I enjoyed the video very much (almost as much as your report on the Testarossa to Morocco ;-)) we talked about that time and your Mille Miglia in the 550 Maranello.

I've never driven a Countach, but Ive driven an F40 and its my favourite car of all time driving wise. Totally mesmerising behind the wheel. My mate who owns it allowed me 3 laps of Brands Hatch, but I ended up doing 6, with him laughing because I just kept flying past with an insane grin on my face as he tried to get me in..

Harry please invite mr Frank more often to discuss cars designs. What a great video this one was! Congrats!

It's crazy that a video that was almost an hour long was so easy to watch. Really says a lot about these two

It is rare that I can hold a smile on my face for very long in 2020. But when I saw that this latest from Harry was 55 minutes long I was instantly happy and held that smile from start to finish. Great work once again, Mr. Metcalfe. Looking forward to more from Harry's Garage and Harry's Farm.

Great video. The Lamborghini was disco, the F40 was rock n roll

That Espada 😍 Just looking at it evokes thoughts of a drive along the Côte d'Azur on a sunny evening. Quite wonderful.

Going from strength to strength Harry, this episode is up there with the best, I’ve admired Franks work for years, but to actually see him talk about it, I was transfixed 👏👏

Harry makes the best car videos on KZfaq IMO. Give he his channel everyday over some of these ‘younger’ you tubers who’re just seemingly about the likes and and buy a new car every 5 minutes.

I have been a Harry fan for a long time, and this was one of the most interesting videosdid not know of Frank Stephenson (my bad), and 2) the discussion on the future of car design and ) the length of the video to allow a decent discussion between two serious petrol heads. Loved it - well done, and thank you Harry and Frank

Great channel. Much love from Trinidad and Tobago. 🇹🇹

Hi Harry, this type of interview with designers of iconic cars is priceless. It would be great to get Frank in again and compare other cars or perhaps a 430 and and you interview him on his design queues while walking around the car. Great work!!!

Best vid I’ve seen in a long time! 2 proper established petrol heads at heart, that seem to have a genuine friendship. Love it.

I wish I could give this video a triple like! Harry and Frank - it's like Batman and Spiderman of automotive world in one video 😎

The words he's looking for are "Cars are becoming more of an appliance"

We absolutely loved this interview. Frank is such a knowledgeable and genuine fella, brilliant guy! Thank you so much as usual Harry.

After watching this i thought it was a 15 minute video! That's how interesting this was. I could listen to you two for days.

14:40 almost fell out of my chair with how dead serious he said it LOOOL

Stephenson is a legend with a great KZfaq channel.

Totally loved this episode. Great little divergence Harry, and Frank - loved listening to your views and insights - top work gents, keep it up!!

That was one of your best Harry! Really enjoyed this video.

That beer-exhaust story was pretty funny 😂

I was at the London Motor Show in 1987 - every year as my Uncle was the late David Jolliffe (ex Rob Walker Racing) he owned and ran Portman Lamborghini (Sole UK Lamborghini Concession) on George Street W1 for 31 years. See Supercar Classics ~ ‘Supercars I have Known’ article on David, September 1989 with Stirling Moss and his SLR on the cover well worth a read. I've been lucky enough to drive no end of Lamborghini and others. I worked for Davids friend David Stephens who owned Heathmans in Parsons Green (aged 18 for a few years 86/87/88/89/90) driving and selling newish/used and at the time classic Lambos and Maserati, De Tomaso Iso Griffo - all the great Italian cars and others (1950s Vette's, Modern Porsche all sorts). Countach was and is a fab distance car, crossing Europe as I did many times in one. The car other than the 288 GTO though and I mean THE CAR for me was and still is the F40. I saw that The Hairpin Company had this as I was looking only the last few days at F40's. Love the show Harry. Keep it up.

Superb episode, Harry. I can listen and watch the great Frank Stephenson's creative mind at work for hours at a time. Mesmerising! Keep up the good work on the channel.

What a great video. Well done Harry to get this out there and so watchable as a conversation and not a presentation.

Thank you for keeping it one hour long!

A Marcello Gandini design (in this case the Countach) will almost always win, if we are judging on looks alone. Although the the designer of the F40, Signor Leonardo Fioravanti, is also one of the all-time great designers. The F40 would be the preferred car to drive though. The most outrageous design vs the purest drive. Two cars that reached two separate pinnacles of what a supercar should be. Both are legends

Harry and Frank together you know this is going to be unbelievable... Bravo. 👏👏

One of the most interesting videos, not only from Harry’s but from all the car KZfaq channels.

48:43 "You can't beat a knob" - Frank Stephenson :D

his analogy of the countach as versace is spot on

Fascinating! Really great video, keep them coming Harry. Great job!

2 characters. One of the best videos I've seen from Harry. Love Frank. Love the Budweiser can story. Reminds me of a friend at school. He bought a can of Coke from the corner shop. Drank the contents. Then bent the can in half! He snapped it and it was a perfect half. So, he crushed the top part a little and jammed it in the bottom half, so it looked like a perfect, half sized can! Then, he went back in the shop and said to the shop keeper, "I pulled the ring tab and look what happened!"

This is so interesting, thank you Harry,

The Countach and F40 are two totally different beasts. You can't choose between them.

What a wonderful chat with a legend of the industry. Top shelf Harry!

I love this guy, so genuine and passionate about design, great show Harry on this video.

55 minutes of harry and stephenson? Must be christams today!

Perfect Sunday viewing 👌

Fantastic insight into design, form over function. What a inspirational guy Frank Stephenson is.

That conversation was amusing. I really enjoyed that. Please keep doing it.

I can afford a Bburago model so I'll just buy both

P.S. Countach in piemontese is literally "contagio" (contagion), which is indeed an exclamation like sacre bleu in french. Gandini explains it somewhere although that interview might be hard to find.

I love your discussions with the legendary Frank S, thank you for posting..... I just subscribed 🙏

This is the best thing I've watched this year! Thanks Harry. Thanks Frank.

That beer can story was great!

F40 for me Harry. 😁👍🚗

So glad this video remained largely unedited. Great conversation

I really like this video format guys!! Utah looks awesome, well done!

Two automotive legends in one video 👌🏼

When people say "if I won the lottery the car I would buy is" mine is definitely the F40.

What a video! Genuinely two of my automotive heroes, thanks so much Chap’s. 😊

This is my new favourite video of yours Harry. My all time favourite automotive journalist and all time favourite car designer!!

I can't imagine the Countach having a transparent engine lid - it would look horrible imo. It flows so much better the way it is. It's more shapely.

If I had a gun to my head, I'd have the Lamborghini. It's incredible looking and it looks like its going fast even when it's parked. I love Harry's car - those gold alloys look like something from Wacky races. Great video and conversation.

The content on this channel is just getting better and better, two passionate experts cheerfully exchanging views on these wondrous machines. Great to have Harry interact with another expert, and interesting to hear their collective thoughts and ideas.

Really, really enjoyed this video, Harry. Fantastic discussion, please have Frank back for more videos!

55 minutes is way too long......aaaand its over! Loved this episode Harry.

After Mini ( R53 ) F. Stephenson was one of my favorite car designers. R53 was best remake of an iconic design I could imagine. Personally, I don't like huge overhangs ( allowed only on Audi... ) R53 was almost 'overhangless' car. I never saw such a small car fitted with 18'' wheels looking so good, and looking at it you'd think 19'' inches would fit good as well. It was a true design masterpiece, especially Cooper S. Proportions of that car were simply put: Perfect! They, BMW, messed with it later on and destroyed it completely.

As always what a true joy to watch both of u guys talking about the car designs and its history, truly unique and wonderful show, thank you Harry ur the king.

Fantastic interview. Very insightful. Love hearing both of your perspectives and the banter back and forth on car design and the future of the industry

About to watch this, looking forward to it to. I will probably turn of once you start chatting about electric cars😥🙄 But even an awesome channel as harry's will make me give a toss about EVs. EDIT. Ok so I watched it and did not turn of as soon as they started to speak about EVs. Mainly because this great designer is not a fan of them because he is a true Petrol head. Loved it 🤘
