    At what model year did Mr. Wolf lose interest in the Countach and what car did he then drive?

    1121002 was the last Countach he owned. He kept it for about 10 years.

    When I last spoke to him, he had an F40 and an Enzo, but much-regretted selling 1121002.

    Speaking of Wolf & Dallara, Wolf's 1977 Can Am race car was driven by none other than legendary F1 pilot Gilles Villenueve. Note the "Wolf Dallara" logo on the nose.

    You're welcome.

    Different car though, the picture you are referring to was my first Countach, LP400S3 #1121328.

    The new article in Automobile Magazine was done on LP400S2 #1121282.

    Peter:

    He claims his father had an LP400. But, from his consideration of various cars, he appears not to know if it was a LHD or RHD car. This is something I find hard to believe, by virtue of the fact that he would know in which country the car existed. Accordingly, it is my belief that he simply likes looking at pictures of yellow LP400, not that there is anything wrong with that. Here is a pic of another, but Ive neglected to provide the chassis number, not that it matters.

    More importantly, Happy New Year to you & yours!

    Out of all the Countach photos I have always ranked the photos of that car outside the factory as my favorite.

    That green color reminds me of the custom colors ordered by Malcolm Forbes in the late 80s.. anyone have pics or know the whereabouts of those cars?

    There was only one green Forbes Countach. It resides in the California Auto Museum, in Sacramento, California.

    I remember that he died before the Greenback coloured 25th was delivered or was that a diablo?

    Found it:
    MLA12231 1991 Green Champaign Originally ordered by Malcom Forbes. Never took delivery before he died. Arlington, Virginia, USA

    I recall seeing some green Lambos from his estate being sold in the duPont Registry back then... Maybe even a LM002
