    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)

    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!

    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.

    That is a picture of a replica you posted. Look at the seats and the interior.

    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

    Fax 020 8614 7889 State London

    "

    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.

    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?

    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"
