Countach, the ultimate supercar

I just spoke to Ron the owner, very nice guy.

Said he has a deposit on the car, I told him if it falls through to call me.

That looks really really nice. I thought for sure it was a S2.

 

The owner said he was in the repair business and did all the work himself.

I mentioned that the car must have been lowered at some point, his reply was: Ah huh...

I did not get into the incorrect mirrors, wing & dash since he said he has a deposit.

 

was wondering what wing would have been the correct one for the car? and I thought after the S2 cars they went to a leather dash? last question which mirrors or better yet would someone have a picture of what the correct mirrors should be?

I did not leave the deposit on the car, was looking to possibly but had these same questions and was not real sure about it.

 

Thanks Joe, yes that does help. I wonder when and why in the middle of a production series S3 they would do changes like the dash and mirrors?

 

The potential new owner has contacted me.

I will be inspecting the car.

If all checks out and the deal goes through, I'm sure he will reveal himself

 

Joe and Tony are correct:
the car looks lowered
the correct wing for this S3 car would be the big one-adjustable with side plates (see pics)
this small flat wing was likely added at a later time


there are some minor things to be corrected, still if the car is sound (and mileage correct) it is a very interesting car

Time to have some fun with this car:
By the way Tony used , the possible new owner is someone we know.
2 things my gut tells. 1)it will not leave the US. 2)I say John H., I seem to remember he was looking for for an early car a while back.
Anyone else?

 

Someone in Kansas...

 

with the weack euro lately, i too believe it will stay in US

 

I aquired a magazine recently with a reprt on a drive with bob Wallace on i think the number two countach on a run form Monaco back to the factory.
had heard of the magazine before or seen the article. Pic on front is of an orange LP400
Is it widely known?

+1.

 

Looks pretty nice. Just a list of minor items that can get corrected easily. Sure did not take long for it to get snatched up. Hope someone here got it.

 

could be
the car is a former Swiss car in its original livery

 

Normally the rear end falls down, not the front...

Amazing pictures from Japan, the silver QV is gorgeous.

Speaking of car shows, here are some pictures I took from the 1984 Chicago Auto Show. I was 10 years old at the time, and this was the first Lamborghini I ever saw! Needless to say I was blown away and hooked on the Countach ever since. When you looked around at other cars in 1984 this was mind blowing. From that point forward owning a Countach became my ultimate dream. Sorry for the pic quality, but again I was 10 and using a Kodak instant camera....
