    Yikes! I don't believe it!

    Well, how many gold Countach LP400s could there have been in those days, especially late model?

    Have 'em all Joe (packed away somewhere). Halsteads LP400 metamorphis was an inspiration in those days - sensational car in the flesh..

    It will be a time that will not be repeated - the Aussie mafia of Nichols, Robinson, Cropley and to a lesser extent Green (when they owned CAR magazine) had unprecedented access to the factory - as expats they bonded with Wallace and you didn't get the bullsh*t of other mags..

    As per an earlier linked article - the gold (champagne) CT was written off very soon after delivery..

    That wouldn't be the car that Fred has been restoring for several years now (not sure if he ever finished), would it?

    De Cecillia`s LP 400 was featured in a fantastic clip of about 20 minutes from Austrian TV some years ago incl. spectacular camera positions! I have it somewhere on video.

    Ciao!

    This Countach shows the purity of line and the very economical use of space taken up by this marvelous machine. Art on wheels; too bad the aesthetics could not be enhanced later or even maintained...

    Saw this one two times in Biarritz on the Atlantic coast of France just north of Spain summer 1980. I was 16 and had no idea about chassis numbers. No one seems to know anything about it. I tracked down the garage of which there is a sticker on the back of the car but even though they remembered the car from 28 years ago they have not seen it since and do not know of its whereabouts.

    Note the sticker for a nightclub: cute.

    Best regards,

    Marc
