    I've always loved the January 1976 cover of Car magazine which featured a 3.0-liter Turbo vs Countach LP400 vs a 512 BB in an article call "Battle of the Giants." Does anyone happen to know what chassis number this 512 BB was? It was a Rosso Corsa RHD BB, plus the other two cars were RHD cars delivered to the UK.

    A modern reprint of the article is here:

    Very cool. I like how the article envisions what it would be like to drive these cars everyday.

    Yes, interesting article.

    Does anyone know the chassis number for the right-hand drive 512 BB that was featured in this article?
