This is one of the most interesting threads I have witnessed here for a very long time. Indeed I understand Lamborghini did waht they could when the Countach came to the end of ist lifecircle. I think the performance was still very, very good - surely the best amongst all Countach models. Just the exterior is a bit "overstyled" so to say. Maybe experts will tore me into pieces, but how complicated would it be to convert a 25 into a "normal" QV? I mean from just the external look. Front grill, rear end (including bumper & lights), ear-intakes over the engine - that seems to be the major stuff. Flairs, too. Engine cover, seats, interior - all unchanined. To simply give the car a clean, straigth look - as the QV had! Has anyone done it before? I am very curiouse on your opinion!
Not worth the effort because every body panel is different on the Anniversary from every other variant. There is a much easier option.....just buy a '88.5 model. It has almost every performance/reliability/safety update as the Anniversary except the PZero tires (which you can be put on) and the rear toe setting (which you can adjust to copy the Anni). That is much easier and less expensive than trying to make one variant into another!
My opinion: buy a QV if you like that better, or, have both if you want the drive-ability, handling, & reliability of the 25th.
Good point!!! Both are too large for my garage.. I just wanted to know about the theory - so how could Lamborghini afford to make every pannel different= The Countach was at the end of ist lifecircle and they knew it. So what is today's realistic Price range for QVS and 25s? Very different in Europe and the States? ...and how about the suspension as everybody says the set-up on the 25 was by far the best...
This reminds me of the tax the rich guys.....somewhat. Stop What You're Doing and Watch this Countach Do Donuts
As well as in this thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/lamborghinichat-com-sponsored-lamborghini-houston/356564-official-countach-value-thread.html But it's a little like drinking from a fire hose. I'd love an Anniversary Countach. I'm worried I'm getting too old for one, and it would look somewhat stereotypical. It may happen; but there are other cars I would prefer to have at a similar price. Like many of us, I regret not getting one a few years ago. Matt
Hi All - vid of my Anni aired on Aussie TV recently. Cheers James http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3tAUNK3AoDA
One more reason to get one. It will shave at least 20 years from you and will force you to go to the gym to keep up.

Seing any countach in France outside of Paris or the rich south is very rare, let alone several of them. I deeply regret missing this by a few weeks and have a chat with their owners..
has anyone ever come across a conclusive number on how many perlato and rosso perlato annys were produced?
Good Lord, no, in the UK alone the myth that just 3 (apparently the default number!) Rosso Perlato cars existed was debunked in this very thread, and the real number in the UK alone is 8 or 9 cars. There are a lot of Rosso Perlato cars noted all over the world and in the USA (a quick check in my notes reveals 6 I know of here and I'm sure there are more), but because the metal flake doesn't show up in images they are often not described as such. I'd say a third of all Anniversarios are red (approx 215 cars) and of those 20% are Rosso Perlato, so figure some 40 or so cars worldwide - a rough but good estimate.
Red suites the Anniversario(biased of course), 12481 with Ferrari F512 Modificata Image Unavailable, Please Login
