Countach, the ultimate supercar

Exactly, good observation!

 

Took some images one day; not any stand used with pure early morning sunlight.

Posting this for LamboG (Adam).

There are three (3) USA 25th Anniversarios that I am aware of that have this exterior color. Each one has a different interior color: Nero, Champagne, & Grigio.

Hope this helps, thats the best I can do!

The Secret Story of the Countach that Saved Lamborghini
While the V-12 Countach went into production in 1974, the car didn’t meet U.S. emissions standards — and wouldn’t for nearly a decade. The inability of Lamborghini to sell its cars in the United States played a role in its 1978 bankruptcy, and by 1982 the company was still struggling to produce a return for any investor. It also lacked the resources to meet tougher pollution standards that required extensive revisions to its engines.

That’s where two American entrepreneurs stepped in. Trefor Thomas had worked around exotic cars for years, and Jas Rarewala was an Iranian-born engineer who had worked with Lamborghini before its collapse. Together, the two men attempted to buy the Lamborghini factory from the bankruptcy court.

Priceless stuff:

"I'd rather hurt myself than the car."

Gold nugget jewelry.

 

Classic.

This is the same car that Stirling Moss & Phil Hill test drove for Popular Mechanics in 1981, at Talladega with some other tasteful machinery.

Correct there are other Luci di Bosco...

It is VIN #DLA12606, now offered by my long time friend Thomas Schmitz.

I saw it back in 2009 at Essen Classica when it was displayed on an Italian broker stand.

Very nice car, now offered in Germany for 145.000 € instead of 170.000 € by the Italian trader.

46.949 km with a new engine that has done since rebuilt less than 800 km.

Gorgeous!

 

The first Luci Del Bosco Countach I can find is 1121100, all agree?

 

No, I have the 1st CC in Luci di Bosco => LP400 periscopa VIN#112-0096, 48th produced, sold to Germany the 27th May 1975.

Then, I have #112-0296, #112-298 and the next one is your #112-1100.

Or yes, #112-1100 is the 1st LP 400 S - S1 to be Luci di Bosco...

 

I noted that 112 0096 had as first Owner Knie from the swiss national circus. www.knie.ch

 

The white double wing car was fairly photographed wasn't it? Was it used mainly as a promo car at first, or did there just happen to be many pictures white double wing cars?

What is the light gold color on the stripped car, and which vintage? It looks like it will be a good one when complete, love the color.

 

Wow, thanks for that. I didn't think to look prior to LP400S. Only one LP400S S1 in LDB?

 

The Huntington Beach owner made it available for magazine articles, videos etc.

Oro Sahara what the owner calls it, and it is an LP400.

Fantastic! Silver?

 

Thank you
Yes it is silver

 

Silver is a beautiful color on any variant of Countach. It highlights the angles, lines & creases. Awesome.

 

Here's a picture of Pauls car when it was new - from Wheels magazine - I remember seeing it on the road at the time it was stunning.
