Countach, the ultimate supercar

It's my desktop background

 

Nice picture Raymond.

 

Raymond,
When replacing your distributor cap and rotor, did you consider using the much cheaper NAPA distributor cap, that others here have indicated will fit?

 

What's in each car now ???

 

The dark blue car is still in Germany?

 

WOW, that car looks stunning. What a restoration job. Body lines and door gaps look perfect.

 

Interior color?

 

Orange looks amazing on all the early Lamborghini cars, especially the LP400. That car looks amazing but they forgot to paint that awkward bit behind the little side window black.

 

3/4 light (tiny side window) trim looks like it's painted correctly to me. They even got the rocker panel stripe right.

 

Over 18K replies and 1.6M views. Other than the Muira I can see not a single car on FChat that has more dialogue. This tells you something, and I'm not sure that that something fortells a thin future market. It do not think it will be that long before we see a 1M Countach.

 

Awesome

 

That is just perfection.

 

During a Factory visit in June 1986 : Patrick Mimran's Countach QV GLA12997 in the workshop for some maintenance.
And the white Countach owned at the time by F1-driver Kéké Rosberg (World Champion 1982)

I'm speechless, my car back in 1986, wow!
That's just 2 month after production.

Any further Pictures of GLA12997?

 

I was sure you'd like !!!

Yes, I perhaps have more period pictures of your car. I'll check.
And I'll send you them in bigger size + improved scanning quality.

Where is the Rosberg car now? It was on sale in France for quite some time, not that long ago..that of course before everybody woke up wanted to buy a countach...

Correct, perhaps the regular service when the heads had to be retighten after ~1000-1500Km.
Funny enough that I know from the build sheet the engine # of my car but the engine has no number stamped...

 

Classic, Iloc Meeting in the eighties, Vale and Ferruccio between WW Countach #1120202 and Max Bobnar's first Turbo #1121060.

 

I have several of these images that have been shared with me over the last couple of years.

It's almost like they had a father/son bond.
