    you have a good point

    i think the number of owners is not really important, it is the car itself that is important

    some one owner car had been under a cover for 10+ years and some 8 owners cars have been beaten to death ....and all the opposite

    Agreed.

    Im not sure who is out there looking for a one-owner car, or why that is important, but I can see someone looking for low-mileage unmolested car for example. But even there, that status offers no guarantees.

    But at the end of the day, even if the car has had multiple owners and lots of miles, it all comes down to the 'current condition of that particular car' in my opinion.

    This one reminds me of the infamous McDonalds Murci the rapper was buried in.

    Funny you mention that car. The interior is now all black and the wheels have been repainted silver... and now back to our regularly scheduled Countach discussion...

    I've seen quite a few with Hellas, and I think it is because when the originals break or get too chipped, as a replacement, the Carellos are real hard to find and the Hellas are easier to get. I bought my DD with Hellas and a few people have tried to convince me that Hellas came on some later DDs from the factory.

    Considering my DD is an 88 and has Carellos
    I would call that a load of bunk.

    +1

    All Countach up to the Annivesario were originally supplied with essentially the same Carello driving lamps.

    Correct, you can get them. No real excuse to go with Hellas, unless you want to...
