May be I've missed a post ? But what does Ingvar Kamprad have to do here ? Everybody knows he 's never been found of cars and particulary Exotic & Sport cars. Even his sons who are sharing IKEA's management through specific Financial holdings don't care about cars. They are spending money in Cultural foundation and Environmental & preserving Nature foundation as far as I know from my swedish fellow who is in charge of their financial assets. So if you have a Lambo scoop regarding Kamprad family, I'm curious to know what about ???
What about sports figures? I would Love to find the Countach that was owned by Walter Payton. It was dark blue and given to him after winning the Super Bowl. I think the rear wing even said KANGAROOS on it. (the foot-wear company he endorsed)
very cool shots, Joe modern: http://www.joesackey.com/Galleria/Countach%20S%20Series%20One%20(1121034)/ period: http://www.joesackey.com/Galleria/Countach%20S%20-%20Images%20from%20the%20period/
Yes I think you missed a post, or two. Marcello only mentioned IKEA in sarcasm. Then Raymond already clarified the founder has no interest in cars...
I always wonder why after-market carpets are necessary, and other after-market doo-dads such as the after-market seatbelt pad. IMHO they only get in the way of proper operation of the car (particularly the way those carpets interfere with the operation of the pedals) and in that regard can be downright hazardous. And they look decidedly tacky. Other than that, the car is fabulous!
Here's a very nice looking white/white LP500 QV in Paris, note the white rims. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Keke's car has the yellow stone guards on the rear fender extensions and doesn't have the red light on the rear to the left of the license plate.
Interesting!! This car was on auction on Mar 2007 advertised as the Gibb car But here is the pict that was used on the Anamera site. Obviously not the same car! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think you ar right. I was wondering about that. Decent replica from far way. The windows are correct but the side lights are missing. If so then was the Gibb car for sale at all at Coys in 2007? Here was the add going with the kit CT picture: "A genuine two owner car from new it is supplied with the factory handbooks, service history, tools and spare wheel. In addition there is a small history file with correspondence from Barry Gibb. A truly remarkable Countach, with genuine star quality, this is an unrepeatable opportunity to purchase probably one of the finest Lamborghini Countach's currently available. For sale at COYS - Spring Auction Contact Location Royal Horticultural Hall, London Phone 020 8614 7888 City London Fax 020 8614 7889 State London United Kingdom Estimate: £60,000-75,000 " Edit: I'll remove the image if you guys think this pict has no business here. let me know
The rims are what gave it away to me. The way the lugs fit in the rim and the rim edge. Very close replica however.
yes! thank you. Did this shop bought it at Coys auction? http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/find/4100_results.asp?&dealerid=10780&lCarID=1746676
Emilio - what is the story on the rear bumper on this silver/blue car? Looks to be the 'American' bumper, BUT seems oddly shaped or installed?

Keke Rosberg's QV FLA12808...only 9,171km but probably he did these intensely... Joe, I'm sure you'll appreciate the carpets... Lorenzo Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
exactly some FI 5000S car with those bumpers (i have seen pics of 2 black ones, a red one ecc..) imo this bumper does not look so bad later US cars look worst than this, but it is just my opinion
Not to mention after-market carpets, non-original dash-mounted bull badge, and shiny plaque. I also believe this car was originally "Bianco Perlato" JS
