    And 21 years later thay dusted off the window opening design, that did not go into production with the Coutach, and used it on the SE30 cars!

    Italian law in the late 70's made it mandatory to regulate the side mirror from inside the car and being able to reach it by putting your arm out the side window, would have been a difficult task with the prototype!

    When they show the dash cam on the Countach it shows the 3 circle defrost vents like an older 5000S.

    I thought all 25th had the rectangle defrost vents?

    The wing is from an early car as well?

    And that's just on my first look.

    Joe?

    I urge someone to pick these up. It seems tires are to the Lamborghini as the tool kit is to Ferrari.
    I'm trying to hold out hoping to get an older set closer to my 1978.

    The owner of 1120048 must have had more dollars than sense. What a sin to trash a car like that. Give that person a Yugo :)
