    Yes good eye.

    Also the one that Marcel is sitting in looks to have an adjustable wing, which if memory serves me correct 1121400 did not.

    Also 1121400 had rear side marker lights which the Dutch car did not have.

    Fantastic story! Thanks for sharing. I love the metal business card.

    Reminds me of my own story. I was a teenager and I had the luck to be given a tour of "JB Automobiles", the former french importer. I sat for the first time in a countach, and I still can remember every second of it.

    If you want to be sure 1121400 was looked in detailled and almost bought by someone with the pseudo Lambolarry. He was a very active member from another site.

    Car had fixed wing and read markers. According to Larry the car was a basket case.

    Yes it was a basket case, so it was an easy decision to pass and move on.

    My favorite setup of any Countach. Something so classic about a original 2 valve LP5000S.

    Prerty sure that is correct. I was just reading Stefano Pasini's book last night and he said the first Countach with the roof raised 3cm was chassis 1121312. Making 1121310 that last of the low bodies.

    Sorry, but just an observation, but why is this beautiful Countach surrounded by so many sub $20K or even sub $10K cars? That is weird.

    ALL the cars, other then the CT are American Motors cars...AMC/Rambler

    SO my educated guess would be a collector of those cars OR a higher up employee or such that was part of the AMC group and also liked the CT..?

    AND FYI, there are a few in there that are in the 50K range for a serious AMC collector

    Fyi, I love the amc Matador. Had an AFX car that was maroon, white and black and I just drooled over that car in the 70's.

    OK, I have to bite.
    Who is the famous owner?
    The photo looks to be from somewhere in the Northeastern part of the country.
