    We like honest owners :)

    Didnt Clarkson or somebody say the Countach is "too cramped, too low, and has no visibility. I want one!"

    It is said to have been crash tested, yes. But who has seen photos of the crash test or who attended the crash test? Do we have someone here with knowledge of the crash test?

    This photo shows 1120012 - unique colour combination verde rio / bianco. I hardly can imagine a more impressive colour combination for the LP400.

    How can an S3 be driven in 1990 in France with EE plates?

    Who cares what clarkson says!.

    Iam highly suprized with how these particular years of the countach can still run and hold there own in a race against almost anything modern day.

    The car never went to Iran - he did, unfortunately.

    Because of the circumstances I cant post the car's chassis number (please forgive me but I usually am quite willing to share....)

    Here is one I can share. This Italian oner has modified the suspension of his LP400 to ride lower...

    My dream is that a Countach loving Billionaire would commission a factory recognised replica of the LP500........... any takers??

    I do beleive this one was advertised in the French Sport Auto magazine in 2005, it was in the middle of nowhere, not Paris or the riviera. If I recall correctly Flavien Marcais was the advertiser. Makes sense as this photo seems to have been taken at a vintage meet at one of the lesser circuits but I speculate.
