    Roy is Roy..I say he'll drive it, ...little bit anyhow.
    For a guy who drives a Murci with snow tires as his winter 4x4, lol, how can he resist not to stretch the legs on his Countach once in a while.

    Those shocks are likely quite a bit nicer now than when the car was new. ;)

    Interesting video of a member's nice LP500S. Enjoy.

    The car appears to be metallic black?

    Mods would appear to me to be spacers fitted for all 4 wheels and an aftermarket exhaust system (but it sounds good).

    Any more recording of the exhaust by itself?
    Sounds real nice. What did you use?

    Paint looks brown, looks blue, looks black......depending on the shot.

    The details are posted in the auction.

    From auction:
    The car has 25th anniversary spoilers, includes air vents/scoops, the rear bumper instead of the usual individual blocks which i have all original. The covers for the turn signals are dark; i do have original.

    Here is one:
    http://youtu.be/q0zeNexSSAY

    I really like when you can see diffrential behind the car, it gives nice touch for some universal exhaust pipes what I welded together. All four headers got individual exhaust pipe, like original sport exhaust, but more straigth. (couple bends out and you could see exhaust valve :D )
    Old Lamborghini V12 is suprisingly quiet with this setup. It does not have irritating sound, only good, round and soft note.

    I have consider of making one with standard casing that would look like original.
