    These have been out of production for decades. There are a few around if you watch ebay, and I have a few extras too, but I would only let them go to a car that came with them originally, though

    not bad at all... great!

    Thanks for your help Joe. But i will keep the Momo on the car, that is excellent to use, but i will put on the OEM before next official meeting just to take some pictures... it works, even if not comfortable... I'm a bit old so i have some hand bones problems, a better gear knob helps me a lot.

    Congrats: you have/restore/sell just fantastic cars.

    Thank you. Your LP500S will put any to shame at the next official Lamborghini meeting.

    Just make sure you keep the OEM shift knob in the glove-box, so that you can quickly re-apply it before you go back to Sant Agata at the 50th :)

    Thanks, Roy, but i think it was just humor and Emmanuel/St. Luis is a very polite guy: i know him from another forum.

    Your former car is growing up: it starts to become a swan, developing from the half scrap it was.

    I will stop my restoring just when the car will be shining everywhere and perfectly working like it did when leaved the factory. I know this will cost by far more than the car value, but now that is MINE car and not an used car i bought somewhere: this sensation is priceless.

    I hope Countach and 5000S prices will grow up a lot, if one day i will have to sell it...

    ciao

    Indeed, as time goes by, the swapping of components doesn't enhance value.

    Victor Reintz is a well reputated german gasket manufacturer, almost all german cars use them, my QV has Gaskets from them as well.

    Where did you find those P7 205... i'm looking for them everywhere...

    would you consider a sale or an exchange?

    I had them a long while and they are for show only - they will go on a very SPECIAL Countach in the near future :)

    Alas I have only one full set so I cant help. Check EBay from time-to-time?

    yes, but i just found Emilio that sells a full set of LP400S rims with P7 tyres for an impressive amount of money.

    I would like a couple of new 205/50-15 Pzero too (not P7) but they also are unfindable: don't you have them? i can pay them or trade with some new complete S and QV steering wheel (all new, with pad and OEM bull) or camshafts roller bearings (Lambo price more than 3000 USD).

    ciao

    Oh oh, I had been told those P7 where a nightmare to find, but I couldn't imagine that even specialists like you guys were desperate about finding them !

    Wow. Till what car were the P7 205 the normal front tyres ?

    yes, 5000S can wear the 225/50-15 (Quattrovalvole tyres) as the rims and suspension are the same (the entire car is the same...), but for the police you cannot use them.

    I have a brand new 225/50-15 Pzero set for sale, very hard to find.

    205/50-15 is for all the "S" cars, 225/50-15 starting from the Quattrovalvole QV

    i will have a complete set of 205 and 345 P7 for sale soon

    but again they are old tyres, so hard and not safe for road use....

    as Joe says: show only!

    Hi Emilio, i need the Pzero 205/50-15 to put on the car: i need new tyres, P7 or Pzero.
    I asked Joe for the P7 just why those P7 looked like new, but i do not need 30+ years old P7 as of course they are just suitable to display the car

    ciao
