    You are right.

    Its because there is a horizontal strip of black-satin pain that is missing from the mouth of the intake for the radiators (Countach owners will know) causing the roofline to seem a bit tall...

    Aha, so that's how you identified my Avatar, just by some missing black paint, yikes...

    Thanks Joe, Fantastic Giotto! never seen either of those before. There was a guy on here who once posted a rare shot of a poster from an early seventies magazine with a bikini clad woman laying on top of the Lp500 that was a great picture but sadly it was from pre the big crash.I cant remember who posted it, but if you're still here please post it again!! Anyone else got any?

    Edit: it was Miltonian who posted it, i remember now ......Calling Miltonian we need you! :)

    OK, by popular demand (Alan), here it is. I tell you, this poster is just about to fall into pieces. In the lower left corner, it says:

    "Galleria Quattroruote Allegato redazionale al fascicolo n. 11 - novembre 1971 (foto Baldassi) - Stampa Ilte - Torino"
