Countach, the ultimate supercar

I did a search on Derek Bell, and found very basic info about car verdicts, nothing much. Do you have an article or video of him testing it? I'd be interested in seeing that!

Anyone have a link to English one ? Thanks.

 

Page 207 in this thread has the Bell Countach test.

 

I heard of one in Russia with 180t km but not confirmed, then there is the one in Germany with 120t km Marcello knows.

 

Yes, if you are speaking about the same QV in France ?
This one belongs to fellow Olivier - LCF, engine was rebuilt at 120.000 km by well known Toni Sisinni at Paris (he serviced my Jarama GTS too).
Now it has covered 30.000 km more...

Thanks Joe. But why people ruin the clips with music is beyond me. Music as bumpers, maybe. Then all car.

Does anybody have a pic showing the seatbelts in an LP400? I need a ref for my model...
Thanks!

 

When my wife turned 40 I traded her in for 2 20 year olds.

A Countach and a Testarossa.

But my wife decided to stay and accept my 2 mistresses.
Italian men and mistresses hey.

My wife says that these 2 mistresses will cost me less than one real mistress in the long run

 

Pure poetry Dean.

Gotta do some work on the wife to get the 2nd ms.

Cheers

Peter

 

No offense, but I hate when people pose for pics with other peoples cars and have touch or lean on them as if they were their own.

 

+1!!

Ciao!
Walter

 

That did not look a lean more of a touch...

 

Joe,
is this Doctor Neumann... Hubert Hanne's partner's in the capital raise back in 1978 ?

 

And I like it when someone posts a photo of a LP400 that he made in September 1976. BTW there is a big difference between touch and lean and here we clearly see only a touch.

Are these the same car? Anyone know the car in the top pic??

First is a US car??

Paul

 

3 cars
the first one is a US car (5000S i think...)

 

I got a little hand scanner for Christmas. Had to try it on some old photos.

Awesome pics! Hand scanner working nicely

 

Regarding my LP400 seatbelt question, I really just need to know if the inner (near trans tunnel) looks like a typical lap belt. Most photos show them tucked out of view

 

Link to Joe's site with belt shots. Check around in his Gallery for othe LP400 interior shots that might help.

Excellent! Thanks! I'm using many of Joe's pics for reference, but I missed these somehow

 

Yes Derek, did drive a LP5000s 1982. At Bedford Auto Drome ( J Palmers place )

The artical was for Classic and sports car june 2000 was the year.. Will try did a copy out, CT got a good review.
Same CT was used for top gear with Vicki Butler Henderson when they did an 80's thing.

will see if I can find it.

 

Either or... I dont touch other peoples property, I expect them not to touch mine.. Is it some sort of badge of honor to touch what it is you are taking a picture with? Not for me, and I dont want to be the one to have to wash their fingerprints off my car..
