to be fair here ron, a car on display at a show is subject to being photographed.
the owner has no say over where those photos end up, unless he or she holds the copyright on said pictures.

Hi all Countach spotters,

Last week we had another small Lamborghini meeting here in Holland.
This red Countach has the non european injection engine hood,
so the car could have come from the USA.

BR,
Marcel

Hey Alan, (you lucky bastard ;-)

Great shots, I like the lower taken ones!

Funny to see that the scripts Countach and Lamborghini at the back are the other way around.
Unbelievable that Raymond discovered this car in Switserland..
THE barnfind of the century!!

The car was also shown at the Techno Classica show in Essen, Germany, March 2007

Ciao!
Marcello

The ugly wing (no respect to Bertone's design) probably slowed him down so much that he ordered a Cinque Litri motori for #1120148 :-)
I think that second car is worth more by the way..
So do we agree that #1120006 was the first Walter Wolf LP400, #1120148 the second,
and #1120202 the third?

Ciao!

That looks like #1120110.
What's the story with the gaugles?
Are all US imported LP400's have these?

Even the proto Bertone badges on the sides are in place.
Exhaust pipes seem to be (too) high in the air.
Bling bling mirrors.
Vomit green, yikes
What is the chassisnumber of this LP400?

Best regards,
Marcello

It is 1120192 not 110.

BTW I dont speak Japanese and unfortunately I dont know the chassis number of the lime green RHD LP400....

Ah yes, I simply looked for the plates "Y 55" in my files,
#110 had them as well in the past. Thanks!

Can't be that difficult if it's a RHD, I will try to answer that question later.

Best regards,
Marcel
