gotta be the one right down to the side marker lights, fronts were tiny square and rear longer rectangular...note side mirrors, etc.

I was a 'footballer' and long hair was all the rage! Good thing you can't see inside a Countach when you try and see who is in it

funny thing is I still have long hair for an 'old dude'

I suspect it would include a body check, darn what a jolly good time Keke Rosberg would have had ;-)

I think I have a picture of the white Rosberg Countach in Monaco somewhere in my files,
have to scan it, I will post it later...

Ciao!
Marcello

 

yup

my fother sovereign XJ had their dealer sticker on it when he bought it from its first owner

EmilianAuto still exists today in Bologna, but they do not worck with the lambos anymore

 

Just next to it (right) is the Jalpa Pace car.

 

COUNTACH!!!

 

Mike,

You rock !

 

Ralph, howzit? I have been curious about that Countach for years and wondered where it was and then out of nowhere...there it is! Like an old flame, I miss her

Howz your Countach coming? Any updated photos of progress?

 

Mike,

I also remember the previous cars.

The last pics I submitted, are just a few weeks old.

 

raised my finger first !
I'm sick...hoping next stage of donation will be for the patient himself...

 

I have made some scanns from a Swedish car mag. from July -74. So which vin has this one? This is what the journalist that drove this car claims that it was deliverd to a gentlemen called Corti Albino and its car #001. When this test was donne there were only 8 cars built and 3 was deliverd to their owners. This one has a Tan interior. Note the Achilli sticker and the MI U4 6819 plate.

1120002 !!!

It is often said that 1120002 is the factory brochure car. It is not.

Many thanks for that very interesting post.

 

Jota 5084: what does "provkörning" mean in English? Test car or test drive or something like that?

There are some pictures of 1120001 with the "provkörning" stickers in several books. I must repeat: your post is very interesting.

Note the different Lamborghini emblem on the rear side of the car, the same emblem can be found on 1120004 (red/black). Also note the six slits in the roof (serial car: five slits). Also interesting: the car has a black dashboard (this can not be seen in the post of jota 5084). The serial cars with "naturale" (tan) interiors had a dashboard in the colour "testa di moro" (dark brown).

 

Hi LC3929, yes provkörning means test drive, thoose stickers belongs to the magazine and they put them all the cars they take for an test drive. I got confused when i was looking at the ILR, it shows pics of #1120082 instead of #1120002 thats why i asked what vin this car had, i know we discussed this issue before on another thread, but didnt think about it when i posted the scan.

And yes, the car i scanned has black dashboard and six slits roof.

This is the finest Countach thread I have ever seen - truly great pictures and information!

Thought I would contribute with a few pictures of my 1986 Euro Downdraft - GLA12988.

This car has been in Italy from day one (still is).

The starting grid was right before the parade laps during the 40th Anniversary party.

I think your car is the finest Countach I have ever seen! It's spotless! It doesn't even look like it's driven! Can't wait until I get mine out of the shop.

 

A nice view of the 1120002...

it is indeed
inside-out one of the VERY best countach around

even more impressive if you think it is a VERY desirable not side skirts black DD (and very fast with one good engine and the ANSA sport exhaust !)

it has one only BIG fault: it is NOT for sale

 

LP400 looks so good from the top

interesting this early car has an antenna on the rear fender

 

Of course, I meant 1120002 instead of 1120001.

 

Now, after years, I know what "provkörning" means. Many thanks for the information.

Where did you find that information in ILR? As far as I know, ILR still states that 1120002 is the factory brochure car. The issue with 1120082 has been discussed within this thread. 1120082 is featured in the factory brochure, but, to be honest, I don't want to start a new discussion here as I am tired to discuss again what already has been proven. 1120082 is my car, this information may explain why I'm fed up with that discussion.

1120001: four slits

1120002: six slits

1120004: six slits

1120006: ??? slits

1120008: four slits

1120010: ??? slits

1120012: five slits

serial cars: five slits

Graphicar and posteriore140: can you confirm?

 

Today's topic is information, not pictures (thanks, jota 5084).

Your car is very nice. I told you before - I am the guy who showed the LP400 steering wheel to you during breakfast at hotel "Persico's" last year in July when Fabio Lamborghini organized a small, very beautiful meeting.
