    I wonder if this was Frank Triarsi's car from years ago.

    It takes big attachments to drive a Countach like that!

    The black 88.5 Countach was being driven by ex-F1 driver and Le Mans winner Henri Pescarolo, a gentleman very familiar with driving at the limit!

    My favorite quote from this footage: "at 300 km/h in a Testarossa, you smoke cigar, at 300 km/h in a Countach you swallow it!".

    So I now have a picture of the first Countach I ever saw! Didn't have a camera with me the day I saw this car at Frank's shop in 1985.

    Thanks

    Is it the heat from light bulbs that warms gauges, so needle gos "bananas" or do Countach "bananas" naturally accour?

    ...one more reason fro LED ligths.

    Gents I missed this earlier - I vaguely recollect this car being for sale in the eighties, in poor condition,when I inquired about the car the local NSW distributer told me it had been sold overseas - never seen it since. To my knowledge there are currently only 2 S2 Countach's in Australia. White/tan imported from Hong Kong and Black/tan previously Green. A silver/Blue car was repainted Red/tan and exported to NZ. Joe do you know if this car is still in Australia?

    Yes I think so, last time I saw it was at a Melbourne car dealer called Duttons in the mid late 90's - I wanted to buy it but was repeatedly told it was being temporarily stored for the owner and on display only. It vanished after a few weeks....

    But there is currently a LHD series one being restored in Sydney that was recently imported a couple of years or so ago from the US.
