The car had been in long-term storage due to the owner not being able to dedicate time to making sure the car was in running order. That was until the team from New York turned up in Connecticut and came across an incredibly dirty Lamborghini.

This example, a Countach LP500 S, was built in 1984, AutoEvolution says. Only 321 were built and around 40 to 50 models were exported to the United States which makes this a very rare example.

The Countach was found by We Are Curated in Connecticut that has not been moved in 20 years, AMMO NYC reports. It is powered by a 4,8-litre V12 engine with 272kW. It's hard to imagine owning such a beautiful car and letting it go for so long without cleaning it from time to time and even letting rodents take over.

Inside the glove box I pulled out the most disgusting bio-hazard Jordache jean soaking wet in urine and faeces."
