Countach 25th Anniversario

A great thanks to Alexandre Astier to make a film with a Countach, he remembered that he'd got one toy when he was young a red one without wing with "Countach S" at the rear so we made the modification on the car to have one that looks as the one of his dream.

i do not get it...why just don't look for a S car?
in the end an S should be not impossible to find
a red wrap and it is all set

 

At the beggining I was contacted by the Lamborghini Club France as I'm member for finding a red Countach in my region for a film, the production not mentionned that they needed an S it's only when Alexandre Aster saw the car that he asked if it is possible to change for A S type rear and it was to late for finding an other car. Also it's not easy to find owners who let their car for a Film production, for my friend the owner of the car and me the condition is that we have to be present when the car was used, also there was some change with the production at the beggining we need only to be in the french region near Switzerland, but at the end we have to move to Paris for some view...It's not a simple job

 

Joe,
In reference to the sport seats on a USA Anniversary, I remember in an earlier thread you said the only one you knew of was Joe Nastasi's red interior example. Their is a white countach anniversary with red sport seats available for sale at Gullwing Motors. Could this be Nastasi's old countach? If it is, it is in need of much love.

I saw the movie. Adjani is older but still beautifully plays the abnoxous women she did from her younger time with a great movie with Souchon in l'ete meurtier, A masterpiece IMO, where a Delahaye appeared in the movie. I would lend my car in a blink if I would be guaranteed to be at a dinner party the lady attends and give her a drive..

 

Loving all these unique colors. Did they do any 25ths in gold, or copper?

 

Joe, By "French -spec" does this mean that is a DOT regulation there?or was this a custom Lamborghini trade mark for 25 th's going to that area?

 

You're right

 

Joe,

The French D.O.T Rules of the time required all new cars sold in France to have the yellow headlight/driving light lenses... This requirement was subsequently rescinded I understand.

Not sure about Lamborghini but all the Ferrari parts manuals of the time show the yellow lenses as seperate part #,with note "French market only".....new Ferrari's of the time delivered to France were fitted at the factory with said "yellow lenses".

I would guess that Lamborghini operated the same way and they were factory fitted rather than done at "dealer/importer" level???

I understand that the Monaco D.O.T regulations were identical to those of the French and so cars delivered there were identical.....at least in the case of Ferrari's!


Again......can't see Lamborghini being different?


Given Monaco's proximity to France this is most understandable!!!!

Thanks for this.
The info and facts about ALL of these cars is great.
