    That is not a factory application on that particular car.

    This silver LP400S S2 below has a special-order factory sunroof which is really a removable panel that is almost the size of the whole roof in its square shape, with the headliner leather-lined.

    What do I think of a sunroof on a Countach? Pretty cool..

    Great video Emilio. That's what I love about these cars. There is faster cars, more reliable, those that stop faster, cheaper, etc, but just no substitute for a Countach (ok a Miura would do). Joe, I really like the silver on a Countach, a lot. As bad as a aftermarket sunroof (I realize that's a factory one) is, and I could never do it now but could have in the 80's, the extra headroom would be a welcome addition.

    Do you know anything about this one ? I could contact the photographer, a french guy I know, but I'm sure you guys can tell where it's coming from...

    "The Ride in a Countach S" video has just had the benefit of a fresh engine and transmission rebuild, just completed by Bobileff Motorcar Company in San Diego just about 1,100 miles ago.

    Yes, and as Raymond said, the finish on the tunnel is not correct.

    I saw two things that intrigued me :

    - no signals on the sides : first time I see that I think. Must not be normal I guess... ?
    - the speed is indicated in mph and kmh, but the ODO is in km : is this normal ?

    Great article in November's EVO magazine. Would be nice if Harry could post some pictures of I assume Mr Harris drifting the car (to avoid any copyright issues)! The Countach comes out well in a 4 car comparison with Aventador, Diablo and Murci.
