    I agree. But most kits can be recognized as such immediately.

    Perhaps there is a way to stage a crash as they did with the Miura in the Italian job where it appears an engine-less car was sacrificed.

    Either way, I'm just the messenger, and I'm not in the movie business.

    I had heard that there was a black Countach QV in Trinidad.

    Well, now we know for sure, and its a 88.5 RHD DD QV, Nero/Nero with gold wheels Trinidad-registered "PAY 55".

    Check out the spinners on the wheels :)

    For some reason many of the anni kits look more accurate than the others. Using a replica, at least for the crashing part of the scene would be ideal, imho

    All in the past tense. The car is now a USA resident.

    BTW Valentino demonstrates the best way to enter a Countach...

    U R welcome.

    I just came across this Rosso LP400S that Tony Ercker used to own, its an LP400S S2 with Bianco interior, steering wheel, pin-striping and wing end-plates.

    Anyone know its chassis number?

    The only way I like the a red Countach is with darker-than-sliver wheels. Just my opinion.

    This morning i finally installed the correct radiocassette player, the OEM gear knob and that stupid ugly glove box button: my car restore is ended. Tool bag car lifter is on the way (i finally found it), so i have the tools too. No more restore, just some maintenance, i hope. No more research for pieces, manuals, tuners and so on. Total time: two years and half...

    There had been some moments when i was almost desperate as i could not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    The most incredible thing is that the car does not just look like new, but works like new too!

    Those old scraps are very difficult to fix and tune...or, better: it's very difficult to find who can restore, fix and tune correctly those cars, even in Italy and close to the fatory like i am...

    Thanks to those of this forum that helped me in this long work.


    ciao
