    There are four RHD Silver Anniversaries that I know of - two have blue interior, one has black and one has red. The blue looks black often, so no hint on which car this is.

    There are actually 5. One has a grey interior.

    But let me just say that not all of them were built & delivered in silver!

    I'm Countach fan on flickr. My dad has a 328 GTS but my true love is for the Countach. Sadly my dad is too cheap and too understated to buy a Countach. Maybe some of you can help me brainwash him into getting one. My favorite one by far was the blue LP400S that Joe was showing at the 2011 Quail show but the red QV that someone posted on here was gorgeous as well. I'm always on Ferrari chat and I sometimes go to lurk in the Lamborghini section. Glad you guys enjoyed my pictures! Anyone know the story on this one? It was in an air conditioning repair place on PCH in Lomita for a few months. It looked like it was in pretty terrible condition.

    Your car was one of my favorites from the whole week. I have a bunch of pictures of it. I can post them here or send them to you for free if you want. I just take pictures for fun.

    Welcome to this thread Andrew!

    Hey, we used to live in Palos Verdes 15 plus years ago, and I had the Pearl White Countach LP500S 12562 there (Rolling Hills Estates).

    Keep up the good work and we charge you with posting any & all Countach pics here that you like!

    I used to see a pearl white Countach around PV once in a while but that was about 8 years ago so it probably wasn't you. It looked like a LP400S but it could have been a LP500S or QV without the side skirts, tail light covers, or US bumpers.

    Most people seem to like the LP400 the most but my favorite ones are the LP400S, LP500S and some of the QV models. I love the fender flares but I'm not a huge fan of the side skirts, tail light covers, or the Anniversary model. I still wouldn't mind owning one though because any Countach is a dream car for me. They just look and sound so much better than any new car on the market.

    Geno's car looked exceptionally good. Has it had a full restoration?

    You have the right perspective - ALL Countach models have their individual charm and I like them all (besides the ones with USA DOT add-ons). Whilst the LP400 is the most "pure" styled version, the Anniversario is the best handling, best-driving & most reliable version. So there is something for everyone in between. One man who cant get enough of them has everything built: LP400, LP400S, LP500S, QV, & Anniversario.

    Here is one of my favorite pics by the late great Zagari taken in 1974 of an LP400.

    Yes this car must be one of the most prolific subjects of Countach scale models

    This LP400S that Joe was showing at the 2011 Quail is my favorite car of all time. The car is specified perfectly and it is my favorite color. The series 1 Campagnolo wheels are my favorite ones too. That car was absolutely stunning in every way. I was taking so many pictures of it someone who was with the car (Joe's wife maybe?) gave me a shirt with a bunch of Lamborghini pictures on it and she took my picture with the car.

    That would indeed be my wife! Great images by the way. You can see when you enlarge them on FChat they lose resolution a bit.
