    Better in all Silver, or all Gold. I think it looked a bit strange with the black coulor in the holes.

    yup

    somewhat the black holes looked like dirty .... i agree they look better in original paint (i thought about gold bravo wheels: i find them very nice, but decided go to original in the end)

    Another forgettable "B" movie where the only redeeming feature was the appearance of the Countach :)

    The raging bull badges were absent from 1982 and 1983 LP500S and appeared on the 1984 and 1985 cars.

    This is a pure unmolested example...

    Well, it's a carbed QV in part of that scene anyway. Check out these photos also from that episode and car chase. I believe I have a video clip at home somewhere of this car chase where they keep switching back and forth between the QV and the 5000S which wear the same license plate (I searched of rit in YouTube but had no luck). Must have been shot on two different days with nobody noticing they had two different models of Countach with different engine covers and bumpers. The continuity person should have been fired for this one...

    Ah, found it. Check it out and pause if you have to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU964Wtmkkc

    It starts with the QV then about half way through it switches to the S, then QV, then S, then QV, S, QV, S, and ends with the driver's arrest in the QV. Exhausting!

    Haha, very good! Note the incorrect "Moody" wing from an early LP400S (without end plates) on the LP500S...

    1120012 was present at this year's Spring Meet in the Norwegian Sportscar Club. I've visited this meet the previous 4 years, but since I've moved, I didn't attend this year's. However, someone else went and taped 1120012:

    Leaving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLsQDlm43IM

    I spoke with the owner last year or the year before, just after he had bought it. He told me he wanted to return it to an original, as-new state. He also owns the ex-Sinatra Miura, along with a few other Lamborghinis.
