    Very nice, but why can we see through the brake vent isn't it closed behind the spoiler?

    Gorgeous examples. These cars always look so much better without those silly spoilers. Enjoy!

    I realize it was repainted Bianco because it did not sell and then sold thru Sytner.

    Thanks guys.

    All Countachs after the LP400 had that little rectangular reflector on the middle lower part of the tail light panel. Only the LP 400 didn't have it, and some LP400s incorrectly wear the later panel.

    "and some LP400s incorrectly wear the later panel. "

    Means there is yet another panel style after this one ? Can you illustrate with a picture ?

    If i remember correctly that Pink car was bought by a very nice dad for his daughters 21st present!
    i recall the car at the Silverstone classic many years ago and was told the story, i think by Del Hopkins or John who was the president of the club? Whichever, it was from a reliable source!
    Sadly I am not rich enough to have done that although I dont think my girls would have a Ct as their first choice!
    On the same theme, my 328GTS was given as a 21st present to the original owner!

    Was out in the QV last sunday as we are having unusually mild weather here in Scotland just now. I meet some friends for coffee on Sunday mornings in the west end of Glasgow and take one of the old cars in and leave it parked near the cafe.
    As parking can be tight I usually have to reverse park it into spaces and i see people around straining to see if it is possible! Still males a lovely sight to see one just parked up among a row of everyday cars! Makes the OTT of the design seem so much more!!

    Sorry for rambling.

    Not been on here much in recent months and hope everyone is well and their cars thriving

    Regards

    Thanks Mike!
    I don't understand why, at such a young age of 6 or 7, I became a fan. It baffles me as to what it was...should have been into the Bay City Rollers or Bee Gees.

    A car I have never seen prior..I likeeee

    Looks so pure with out the rear wing IMO

    Maybe thats what I like about the Periscopa, no wing, just pure flowing lines from front to back..like a beautiful woman lying on your bed in waiting..no un-needed stuff added to her (it)

    Indeed it was. The story is that the colour was chosen to match a scarf.

    That car looks stunning. Special order color (or is it yellow and the lighting in the pic throwing me) Also where is it from. I see US rear cap, injected,euro side light &front bumper
