    A few laps aboard a 25th in a club event in Japan, playful commentary by the driver, I think he runs out of brakes at the end!

    Looks rather he runs out of breath... driving a CT on the track is power sports.

    I find the chrome shifter gate interesting and the fact that he didn't lock out Reverse terrifying!!!

    Indeed. I must say the 25ths I have driven shift better than earlier cars.

    Here is an oldie video, speak of terrifying, almost 180mph (see 4:43), in the wet!

    Another video shot at the factory, this one from 5 years ago when 12085 had just 735 km on the clock, interesting, but marred by the awful music!

    Mostly static viewing of the car before the driver lights up the rears at 2:17 or thereabouts, and goes on a drive - can't tell if that's Valentino.

    Note the comments (scroll down) from viewers HUEJOHNSON & hector69ize both from a few years ago, perhaps notions are different from outside the Lamborghini Countach community.

    A few of Lamborghini's flagship cars parked on the street in London (in Canary Wharf) for the 2012 Motor Expo London 2012. The Miura SV is the ex-Walter Wolf 5092 and the 25th is 12085. I domt have the chassis number of the 350 GT.

    Original owner's manual & warranty book. Delivered new via Portman Lamborghini UK. I'm seeking owner's permission to post chassis number etc.

    Indeed, just awaiting permission to post detailed pics along with chassis number.

    Meanwhile I can show you this one, and I bet you know the guy on the right?

    Jokingly,... I can almost hear the conversation, "I dropped the wrench right here, where could it have gone?":)

    Joe, Do you know the extent of the owners plans on this restoration?
    Freshen up the motor?, Interior require work?, Fuel or brake resto?
    Will this be able to be pictured step by step to the restored areas? It would be nice to have details to part accessibility, sizes, methods, and from where (sources).

    Or, Valentino might be saying: "Strange, I have never seen that happen before" :)
