    I think this one has a different interior color than that 1120110.

    I don't believe I've ever seen a Countach tested over 170 but if you've got a link I'd like to see it.

    This car or its owner had connections to the ACM (Automobile Club de Monaco) as the sticker of this veeeeeeery chauvinistic organisation is glued on the back of the car!

    Ciao!

    Alberto, its the Ritzy version of the Automobile Club Suisse. Gentleman's Club. Ahem. Applicants must have rather long Yacht in Monte Carlo Marina with private 'chopper on board and liquid asset check must come back: "Unlimited"

    Not only that. Their scruteneers are not accepting anything what the rest of the F.I.A. accepts. A perfect car for the ACM would be if you would take Carrachiola out of his grave, brake his leg again and fix his remains in the Alfa P3. But damn you if the fuse-box is NOT matching the original then....! Very "...ahem..."!

    Ciao!

    ACS is no Gentlemen Club, it was perhaps in the past but no more since many years.

    Courtesy of an F-Chatter from another thread this is 1121014 at Bob Wallace's shop circa 1980 after that top-end tuning :) By then, Steve had mounted an original 'moody' wing as can be seen (the cars was supplied without).

    PS - Hidden behind it is J.W. Marriott's prototype Miura P400.

    Nothing major. Probably someone fretting about aging magnesium wheels..

    He carries it around in the trunk and uses it as a wheel-chock to stop the car from rolling away :)

    Emilio, exactly how do "EE" plates work? Are they specifically for a car that is to be driven OUT of Italy? Are they for new cars only?
