Countach, the ultimate supercar

I read a few posts about plugs for the QV. I bought a set of NGK DPR9EIX-9 for mine. Yet to fit them as gapped and cleaned the ones in mine agin just to check on something. The car has been garage bound for about 6 weeks due to the weather and desperate to take her out for a run!! Will try the new plugs and see if it makes a difference. Biggest change so far is with Raymonds ignition box

Those early SW gauges were just terrible to view. The later Veglia gauges were much better for the driver and that's why Lambo improved on that along with other items. Just like with most cars the Lamborghini tried to improve the faults of the earlier models. Look at the Miura for example. The later SV's were the best of the bunch. It's amusing how people can get talked into maybe paying thousands of dollars more for insignificant features. But to each his own.

Also the blue/white S1 1121038 was for sale for a while at a "asking" price of $140K. Was said to have had a full engine rebuid.

 

i fully agree the countach world is small, i have to add that the 4 liter countach world is much smaller with less than 400 cars around ...so i think i got what car we are talking about

 

lamborghini tried to improve the car with all different version
the key here is "tried" because in some way the car really improved, in some others (weight, design for example ) it did not

aniway to me the early cars are cool, so anyone who find me a good S1 for 140k$ (or a good S2 for around 100k$ ) , please contact me asap: i am a buyer!

 

Joe and Emilio- what do you think an S3 should cost, if it's running and had good maintenence?

 

Its all about supply and demand, just like an auction. 2 people want it and don't want to lose, the sky's the limit. Today can be very different than tomorrow, depending on what's for sale and who is looking. Know your price and what you want, the market will decide.

 

Run? Lets get on it, Im taking mine out tomorrow if its sunny

 

I almost had to clear up this post, but I see you made it a bit clearer on post 5500. You made it sound like the S2 doesn't have 45mm carbs and has the same wheel as all the smooth-finished wheels. Careful Joe, you know how sensitive us S2 owners are about our circumcised Campy Countach wheel.

 

No posting precoffee!

No, but OUCH!

True.

 

in US: Joe's post is right on the numbers imo
in Europe: 100k euro for an average car to 130k euro for the great examples, may be 140k for an all original car, low miles, perfect condition car (there are some not so good cars for sale for 140k-190k euro but they never sell)

 

i would say it is

i think for year 79 car (or cars...i will have to look at my books, files, etc...) they had flag mirror car

 

drool.....i want the black on white one!

 

they will sell but they have to wait 5-10 years.....

 

i go for the red/white car, i think its 1121030, brand new!!! drool....

 

good Marcel,

i am going to factory tomorrow and see if they are still available and if we can get a discount purchasing both at the same time

 

I think so.
I also wonder (aka jealous) why my car was not lucky enough to receive that roof!

 

No way! S2 are still in the best of the bunch.......but I think you know that.

 

SW absolutely suck. I can confirm!
I think the problem is while driving and you happen to glance at the gauges, you wind up seeing the trees, power lines, clouds!!!!
Why you ask?????
Because the glass is NOT tilted downward. Go look at gauges in most car, they are plastic or pitched!

 

Nope, 1121030 was delivered in decembre 1978 to switzerland, that's rather 1044.

 

Me Too !!!
