    this nice, very original, 20k kms DD anni just sold in Italy in a very quick sale

    car has a rare and nice red-black interior, optional correct anni wing and a new SS tubi on ( that is a nice option ...but i like the old ANSA better on countach)

    as a reference for the guys asking for current countach values the car sold around 110k euro, including a set of new tyres. ...that looks to me a nice deal given the very good overall conditions of the car

    The 25th engine bay looks nice, but with those water tubes it's a lot harder to take the alternator out compared to the QV.

    I think i have to fix it.... there was just ONE single roof left in the factory when they built this car.. OR it was to cool down the doctor who bought the car, he was already waiting 2 years for his car!!!

    True, but that is a DD car not the FI car that many seem to be asking 135 U.S for. It should be worth at least that.

    I know a german 25th, black on black with wing and sports seats for less than 100k Euro, the car runs perfect, got my ignition box and was driven frequently.

    This black/red 25th had a very good price too and looks very well.

    Why should they learn? The customer is paying these additional hours, like japanese cars, engineered to be built fast but a nightmare to service.

    I think I need only half an hour to take the alternator out.

    Of course in a DD QV..., 25th looks already a lot harder.

    There was a time when collectors in the U.S. and Europe dropped the ball and while no one was watching
    Japan started buying up many older and significant Countachs.

    there are really many lambo collectors in Japan and i can tell you they really started early to take the "good" countach home...when the car collectors in Europe were almost indifferent to these cars
    congrats to them for this

    i had the pleasure to meet some entusiats from Japan and they were at least as passionate as me for the lambo brand :) and often knew these cars more than i do

    yep I agree. On the 40th trip, I met several japanese lambo enthusiasts and they were very passionate about these cars. I subscribe to japanese magazine call rosso and genroq. each one highlights lambo enthusiasts.

    Yes, but it would be nice if some of them would join discussions here,
    so we could learn from them as well. I only know of one so far, and it looks like he
    really knows a lot about Lamborghini's indeed.

    Best regards,
    Marcel
