    A trick question:

    The very first Countach I saw was in Paris late 70's early 80's my parents and I had been to the theater a boring play I was a teenager sulking in the back of our Citroen and on the way home around 11.30, midnight we drove by the Plaza Athenee, one of the top 3 palaces in Paris and I saw these wheels out of the corner of my eye: Bravo wheels on an early Countach S, white, with gold arabic letters and a crown on the door: these were not stickers: real gold. My heart skipped a beat, I frantically asked my dad to stop to which he said shut up sacrebleu so at the next red light I bailed out and ran back to the hotel and drooled all over the car, an incredible sight right in front of the hotel bathed in light, everyone was just stunned.

    Then the Citroen arrived with a lot of indignant scolding but I don't think I heard any of it and went to bed dreaming of that incredible UFO in the street:)!

    Does this car ring any bells? I think it had a wing, not sure, don't ask me any other details it was 30 years ago.

    Best regards,

    Marc

    That is the man himself with THE car. Needs nothing ... well, just a screwdriver to remove the end plates :)

    Spoke to him yesterday, we may get together soon.

    He is working with a carbon fiber company to re-make wings (his is no good from what I was told) using his car for display at the Concorso.

    One day Michael... one day.

    I am still learning the details on these cars. Is it because it's not leather like the rest of the interior?

    We could use better pictures... maybe next time.
