Peter, They will be doing all of the above. The people restoring it got in touch with me, and I am hopeful the owner will sanction a complete sharing of the process exactly as you describe it. As we all know, these cars are built very well so few have needed restoring to this point. But, there are all about 25 years old, so the time is nigh where the ones that have been well-used will require at least a sympathetic refurbishment or reconditioning. In Japan where some of the 25th have high miles (100,000 km and over in some instances), I am aware that some have been restored amongst the members of the Countach driving club.

Resident in the Northeastern USA, this Bianco/bianco car is much-driven & well used, and I am informed (without confirmation yet) that it has over 60,000 on the clock.

I'm not sure of the chassis number of this Northeast-based 25th, any help would be appreciated. 12449? Nice Espada in the background... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow, great photo! Glad to hear this. A nice complete restoration with photos is always captivating, and when people are kind enough to share their stories makes for some of the best threads. I can't wait.
Joe, that's basing the data on only one sale. There quite a few here in the US for the most part they were @ 100k. I would say the real average is about 90k to 125k.

Joe, thanks for this fantastic thread. I've only managed to read till page 32 & decided to post. Are there any difference in terms of power delivery/maintenance between the carb & FI cars? How about value in long term? I'm looking at a UK red car or the blue speciale in Far East. Problem is, that blue car is always in the workshop for works which freaks me out a little. Very low mileage so it's a garage queen. Would love to take one out for the Lambo50 drive.
That would be my Espada and that was last years Le Belle Machinne. Joe Corbacio knows the vin# and owner.
carbed cars are a bit quicker stock vs stock and i think better as an investment as for reliabilty you need someone that knows how to set webers and they are great
I think an almost perfect parrallel is for carb QV vs. FI QV, in terms of performance, market value, collectibility, and reliability is the Ferrari 512BB vs. 512BBi.
Jon, I think you should go for it! With just 999 km on the clock, I'm not surprised it needs constant fettling. I think if you you took care of any deferred maintenance, its a very special 25th in a rare color and you'd be proud to own it. I would! I don't see a big difference in maintenance or values down the line, with 25ths. Solid Countachs built well, whats not to love? That's my subjective opinion of course...
