Countach, the ultimate supercar

or 158th built, my friend ?

there should be more than 150 LP made

 

tks for the info, Joe

do you have some pics of this blue acapulco car?

BTW: always nice see you sharing precious infos here: MUCH appreciated!

 

My Friend has that car. When you say the "next one" then I assume it is 1121004 not 1121008 since we got some disorder in the vin sequence. We know 004 went to Arabia. About last years we were wondering which was the 1st 400S 004 or 006. that answers it

Emilio: it is Peter's car.

 

Interesting to see, 2 more swiss delivered cars identified

 

true
the color looks very different from the acapulco blue as in Ralf's car
so or the car was painted in a different blue or it has been repainted

 

#CLA12484 is in the mag. Automobil #1 Feb. -87, according to the article in the mag. the paint jobb was done by Walter Maurer at a cost of 30K Deutsch Mark, same amount was spent on the interior. This car was for sale when they wrote the article, but there is nothing about how owned this car in the late eightes. Walter Maurer is known of his paint jobs on BMW race cars, for exampel the Andy Warhol M1.

 

Wow. This thread is flying high. Many unknown cars today in this list

The car shown in the sales brochure certainly is not 1120002. 1120002 had "naturale" interior, the car in the sales brochure had "tabacco" interior.

 

But isn't that photo from the brochure? Keep in mind that it could appear faded on screen, plus you also have the reflections from the glass that could alter the color further at this angle.

 

Yes, that photo is the photo from the brochure. But the car from the photo is not 1120002.

 

Joe,

in this case: yes!!! Here, I am sure, and when I say I'm sure... you know.

1120002 giallo fly / naturale
1120004 rosso / nero

... we had both cars earlier in this thread, I suppose. At least, we saw 1120004 here in this thread. 1120002 and 1120004 have different headrests than the serial car (identical in both cars).

Look at the 1/43 Minichamps LP400 model: look exactly at the seats. This model has the same headrests as 1120002 and 1120004.

I must admit that I did not have an eye for that detail on the Minichamps model - it was Fchatter Graphicar who discovered that... or was it Fchatter Posteriore140 ... I do not remember exactly. Anyway, it was one of these two specialists who had such a good eye for the model.

Very best

C.

 

Thank you for the copyright! If you remeber we talked about the 1120002 headrests one year ago at Bruno's workshop...

Hi guys. Just wondering, since this is the Countach thread, if any of you know the serial number start number for the anniversary? IE, what number did they start at? Was it KLA120001 and so on?
Interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Jeff
