    Its amazing how white/white has come back in vogue 20 plus years later. Pretty cool!

    FWIW, the white/white car with the 'Bravo' wheels is a late S3, chassis no. 1121400, originally white with dark blue interior, wearing replica Bravos painted white.

    if i had money, i would buy this one, but black. And then i would put inside my 5000S engine...

    Low bodies are better looking in the side view.

    Ahhh, still looks great though! Triple white has always been my fav. I remember a CT calendar I had way back when that had a few pictures of with a white/white car with red tinted windows, a CT police car, along with a few other cars that would be "silly" now, but the coolest thing ever back then...

    It's an S3 lowered in the front to look more like a low body. It was between that car at $200K owned by a very nice guy and the low milage red DD I decided on. Thoughts?

    Triple white is very cool. The lower rocker looks like it may have kissed a lift or two.

    White on white was always my favorite Countach combo. My own experience was in trying to keep the interior as white as the exterior. The slight discoloration was noticeable when the doors were up.

    On a sunny day, you needed sunglasses to prevent going "snow blind."

    Beautiful.

    thanks to Redlambo for the fantastic LP500 Prototipe pictures with (the even better) cover girl and Joe for the LP400 burnout picture.

    Here you are a must have video and soundtrack: Countach, by Labtracks, original mix.

    i am partial to the 400 and 400S cars

    this car looks nice but there are few things that comes to my mind:
    - were the original campagnolo dish rims included in the deal? (they make a bit difference since a complete set is hard to find today)
    - the wing looks for a later model...i do not see the holes so it looks a 5000S one (probably added at a second time)

    we have a not original interior color and ( as someone already said ) from the rockers the car looks to have kissed a lift or two and to have been repainted

    then the bravos...if they would be original the car could command a premium but i read they are repros

    i think you got a nice countach...the S3 was a good alternative but it probably needed few $ here and there to be 100% original-correct

    Emilio agreed, however the owner keeps all his cars to a very high standard. It did have an original set of wheels. The blue interior was redone in white. I am sure I would of been happy with the car. At the time the price seemed a bit high for a S3 @$200K.
