    Joe. Absolutely agree(finally) one question. It looks pearl orange. And if so. Did not know they did that on the early Countach.

    Circa 1978 @ Monaco Motors Cavallari, in trippy metallic green with white piping, finished with psychedelic racing stripes.

    Geneva-registered GE.28000, any ideas who?

    This particular Countach is both in excellent aesthetical and driving conditions!
    It has its own little secrets of imperfection, just like any cars out there, yet I would say it is one of the 3 best original LP400 known to-date (with #1120012 and #1120196).
    Also, it is now the only Arancio - Nero (Orange - Black) Countach of the 70s in existance!

    If this is indeed #1120084 (which is very likely), it used to be owned by Alireza Khozan when new in 1975.

    Andreas Birner who took this image of the same car this time on GE.8895 plates describes the car as:

    "The metallic green Lamborghini Countach LP400 s/n 1120084 on export plate from Geneva, Switzerland, parked in front of the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. Unfortunately this Countach was later destroyed in a crash"

    These are not necessarily Export plates, they are temporary. I think to remember that Andreas bought a collection of Images.

    I absolutely love those metallic paints quite a few of the early Countach cars were finished in.
    Such a shame many, if not most, were repainted in boring reds and yellows etc. More pics please of the early Countach in those (now) uber-rare colours please!

    There have been some confusion.
    Andreas bought those photos from an estate and asked on Facebook if anybody knew about the VIN.
    I only said it was probably #1120084, AFTER having been crashed and repared earlier during the production era.
    This LP400 may be alive and kept hidden somewhere, in good condition.
    Here is #1120084 crashed during the production era:

    If you have the May 1984 edition of Sports Car Grapic you can see more images, two Countachs were used, the other one a white example, together with a BMW M1 and a Renault Turbo 2, the location was Willow Springs raceway in California.
