    Yes.

    The fronts are the standard 7.5 x 14 inch Campagnolo units, and the rears are the standard 9 x 14 inch Campagnolo units, so there is a 1.5-inch difference front-to-rear.

    Accordingly the front rims use 205/70 VR 14 Michelin XWX tires, and the rears use 215/70 VR 14 units of the same brand.

    Tim is right, its all on page 258 but long story short the car was built for Albert Silvera who was Haiti's Director of Tourism, hence the Haiti Diplomatic plates.

    A nice picture is all about the background. I think you
    have a knack for photography.

    Thanks Ken.

    In pursuit of nice driving roads and good photo opportunities around my area, I once wandered off onto private farm property.

    Upon seeing a bright red alien Countach trespassing his grounds, the old farmer charged up in his pickup truck and gave me 2 minutes to leave. I noticed he had a shotgun on his passenger seat! I can assure you the 0-60 time in an LP400S S1 is in the region of 5 seconds.

    If there is any way you could figure out how to post the Countach vid or where it can be found I would love to see it. Just missing driving the 87 QV under the cover in the garage for now!

    Its in Qatar. Dont think its for sale.

    In another neighboring country there are a couple of Anniversario Countach that have been left outside for 10 years.
