    well done mate. this has actually out a smile on my face.

    and also do your kid a favor and DO NOT SELL THE COUNTACH.

    at least let him enjoy it when he gets old enough (and mature enough) to be given the keys.

    another thing, at least he didnt have to wait 24 years until he sat in one (but he is still beating me cause he has ridden in one).

    I've never seen one up close and I'm 37. :(

    I know of 2 CT's in RI, but they never seem to come out. The last one I saw was literally 20 years ago near TF Green Airport--drove by while I was at a light. It was white. Made a big impression.

    Very nice Jim!!!

    I also like the fact that some of the
    newer Japan CT's are lowered in the front.

    According to several sources, but I have absolutely no proof of this myself.

    So if you have a 1980 Red/Black Countach it's okay to paint it white because Ferruccio did right?

    At least we know that the car was crash tested. We do not know that for the Evoluzione. It is said to have been crash tested, but a photo of the crash test never was published. Did the Evoluzione survive?

    Great photos. The second photo shows exactly how original "rosso granada" looks.

    Bob Wallace told me that road testing was done at top speeds whenever possible. He also confessed there were some "very bad" accidents. One particularly bad one happened when the customer (a French racing driver of renown) was driving - in the wet! Wallace told me he broke his hip as a result, and they were both very lucky they were not killed. I never asked if he was wearing his belt.

    He did give me a quote for the Miura book which went along the lines to say the road-testing business was "not for sissies!"
