    I cannot understand why somebody would do that to their Countach, but at least it does appear to be a wrap and not actual paint. Take a look at the wheel flairs, as the wrap does not allow the black seams to show through.

    Wouldn't a paint job that looks like a wrap be awsome :)

    Air conditioning dosent seem to work, or maybe the door dampers stuffed with too much gas :)

    this is a euro DD . what up with the rear US style "valance" ? the sound is not that of a normal DD. The motor has been "touched".

    the paint is the paint. here there are lambo with the US flag paint. same thing.

    Just saw a really nice Countach on the road here in the UK. It was a 5000 I think- side strakes like the anniversary but standard front and standard "full size" rear lights. It was a lovely deep purple/blue colour, almost black. No rear spoiler. Reg was "A6 WOW" which comes up as a 1987 car on regcheck.com. Anyone know it? The reg rings a bell from this thread but I can't find anything on search...

    Amazing sound out of a Kreissieg. High pitch F1 sound. Worth the money IMO.

    The car comes up as a 1984 manufactured Lamborghini on RAC with 4750cc so it's a 5000S.

    Steve:

    The "A-Reg" plate being used on the car is a cherished number from 1984 indeed, but is has been placed on the ex-Steve Downs 1987 (1988 1/2) QV. This car is finished in Blu Acapulco and in recent times has sported Annivesario wheels.

    You can see a nice feature of it in Performance Car's February 1988 issue where Brian Laban puts it through its paces. At that point as a new car it had UK-registration E 401 LYH. See below.

    Thanks, Joe. I did wonder what side strakes (1988 1/2) were doing on a 5000S.

    Thanks Joe - I searched "performance car" as well as I remember that magazine when it came out and thought it might be the same car. I'd just got a nail in the tyre of my crappy Estate car and was sitting at a junction cursing and it drove by, I thought I was seeing things!

    Adjustable dampers for an LP400?

    They look curiously like a set that might be fitted to, say, chassis number 1120194?

    Very nice!
