    Joe's another enthusiast (pic credit where due) - exiting SCS off Topanga. Agree it looks pretty wild in the wild, and does have a point of view among daily traffic.

    Is it just me or the lighting? Or, does the front left looked "crunched" on that Countach?

    Hi Joe,

    Don't mean to nitpick. Local lore here (Iran) has it that the car was ordered by his Aunt, Ashraf as a birthday gift to him, not by the Mom. The car has a sticker from a dealer called Cavallari located in Monaco on the rear window. Only corroborating evidence is that Ashraf was a regular visitor to Monaco, and she bought the car during one of her visits (apparently she had purchased some other cars in Monaco in the past). Would appreciate any help and advice in this regards.

    Regards,

    Ramin

    Hard to say based on a not-so-clear single pic.

    This is the 5-litre injected car which was featured on Adam Carolla's show, carbs have replaced the injection, and if you look closely you will see it has an LP400-style engine cover.

    Ramin: I would not doubt that. Who knows for sure within the family who sanctioned the purchase.. we know Princess Ashraf liked Lamborghinis for sure because that white Miura P400S was hers! Everybody should have an Auntie like Princess Ashraf :)

    Agree.

    Anyone else notice the dimples in the front wings of the LP400 in Iran?

    Yes. The prominent one on the passenger side and a number of others have been on the car for decades. Bear in mind this car has been in the collection since new, and since 1979 the cars have essentially been neglected.

    Looks to be missing its engine. Same with the Boxer.

    No Peter, they're on jack-stands, not-so-visible under most of the cars.

    The only act of preservation seems to be the aforementioned jack-stands, as if that will save the suspension after all these years...

    Richard E's special-order Annivesario in one-off original livery. I saw this car in person when it was new in 1990 at Silverstone. It was stunning then and still appears to be so now!
