Countach, the ultimate supercar

Brian

have you thought about replacing the mirrors on yours?
the ones on the car are not correct for an S2 imo

 

Here is an unflipped version of the photo (and no, I didn't simply reverse it!!). Also, a photo of a COuntach in Malaysia (I think) - is this the same car once it had arrived in Malaysia?

Does anyone have a pic of it after it was resprayed gold?

(Thanks - my Mission is to identify and get a picture of every RHD Countach....)

PS does anyone know its VIN?

Thanks

I'm not sure those two are same car either - if for no other reason than that the Aussie one appears to have a black interior?

 

This engine belongs to a Countach S that was originally "rame colorado"...

the future buyer should respray it to its original color scheme.

For any inquiry, PM me, it for sale in Europe.

Mole hair dash, cannot tell the seat color with the tint in that first shot.

 

5000S?

 

Now that I looked....I do have two pics of this car, one is flipped which is the one I posted (now deleted from my computer)....very sorry, not sure where I copied it from.

Emilio,
I certainly have considered it. Would like to go back to one flag mirror....can you find me one?

Brian

 

i am not sure about the flag mirrors...will look into it

i can find the bullet mirror that would be correct also for the S2 (and imo looks MUCH better) for cheap money

 

LP 400 S - S3 1981 with 75.000 km, engine rebuilt around 48.000 km

 

@ Raymond, on my car they are ALL corta & cosso

I spoke to an engineer at stabilus and he basically thought I was from another planet.

He also went on to tell me that A) chances of rebuilding them is nearly impossible and B) the CC part I gave them has no history in his computer system.

What gives? I'm tired of not being able to get the parts I need for my car and when I do get parts for my car they are NEVER the right ones.

How can you guys that keep your cars in their original state make it look so easy.

Come on share! lol

 

not so sure about it
i would say there were S1 with flags as well as S2 with bullet

 

One car I've yet to see here is a white countach that had a red, and a green stripe, up the front, and if I remember correctly, over the top of the car. I thought that reflected nicely on an Italian sports car. The stripes were maybe 12-14" wide each.
I saw the car for sale many, many years ago in the Dupont.
Any chance someone has some pics?

 

Ferruccio's S2 has bullets on. not sure if it was like this since new but at least from some 25 years
but i had seen few others...i have to look in my archive to see if i saved pictures

p.s. not sayng it was the rule...i agree with you that most S2s have one or 2 flag mirrors

but if i have to guess, i would say mirrors are not series related on the S cars...tks for the image of the copper car with later style mirrors...it is a good example
you surprised me with that image!

That would be the Al Burtoni car.

 

Mine were corta and cosso and yes I was told the same as you for rebuilding my front hood strut.
Initially I tried to get replacements from Italy, but they kept sending the wrong one. it was hopeless. I still have a bunch I should sell.
then someone hinted me to have them made at LST, a Canadian company. Price is reasonable. The guy made mine to to spec of the old one I sent him. His name is Stephen Fenner and I beleive he may now have all the CT strut specs. His phone is 306 683 5000. His stuff worked right, looks the same as original minus the labels. I was very happy to buy them from him

 

Thanks, I'll do a search for it tonight.

 

Great info Patrick,... thorough.

 

Thanks I'll give them a call sometime this week.

I can get the labels made exactly as the originals and screen print them to the strut.
