    All Countachs are beautiful but that lowbody just makes the heart skip a beat.

    Gorgeous even in B&W.

    On the Countach

    These are Italian Vitaloni electric "Turbo" mirrors....... also used on Euro 308QV's and Euro 328's.

    Very very hard to come by these days and expensive.....

    Also come in a non electric model called"Baby Turbo"....appear on Ebay regularily!

    Hope this helps,

    P

    and they just painted a little bit more of the stem that connects the mirror to the car the same color as the body to make it look a little bit more professional?

    The engine picture is amasing. Curious how much is it weighs.

    It's LAM*0024. (My Silhouette was originally this colour and I hope it will be again...)

    I managed to get a sample from a PPG distributor in the UK. Please PM me if you want their contact details.

    It looks like the Espada up for auction at RM this week is the same colour:

    http://www.rmauctions.com/FeatureCars.cfm?SaleCode=MO11&CarID=r177&fc=0#

    I also recently saw a Maserati Ghibli in the 'flesh' which was this colour (at the Silverstone Classic in the UK), and it was quite stunning. Picture attached (which doesn't really do it justice).

    Finally, as you probably know, there is a Countach S1 in the US in the same colour:

    Thanks Jonathan!

    I dont belive the RM Espada is in Rame C., not so light copper as Brian`s Countach.

    The US Rame C. Countach is an S2 btw.

    Wow ! Amazing !
    I think it was three years ago when you told me that the restoration is gonna take several years and I joked about them sittng down and eating donuts.

    Finally you will soon have your LP 400 back.

    Was your car advertised for sale at Lamborghini Registry 5 years ago or so ?
    when you bought it

    if so , clearly I remember that ad
    also I recall the asking price ...

    Allow me to answer this question in the affirmative because it is I who placed the Ad, and sold the car to Roy.

    I also recall the asking price, and I imagine that Roy has exceeded it again in the cost of the 5-year restoration.
