    Sorry if it is a repost, but I just came by this very impressive video of a Countach at full song on a german highway. The noise is absolutely magnificient.

    They were mostly exported, there's still some very rare cars left & if I'm not wrong including a Cizeta with delivery miles plus a pair of convertible Testarossa & a BMW Nazca C2.

    Btw, more information has been retrieved on the above white winged Lp500S? The photo was taken around 1982 in the central part of Singapore when an auto dealer imported three Countachs, two white (above is one) & a blue unit. The blue car was sold to the Sultan of Brunei while the remaining two were sold to locals who never registered them & exported; these were all RHDs. I don't have the vin nos but wonder where they are now.

    I looked at it several times and I would say that this is rather due to the wind noise, but I may be wrong. By the way it is interesting to see how much the wiper is lifting from the windscreen at high speed. Known but scaring!

    Have a look here: Ferrari car collection for sale | Ferrari Enzo | Ferrari F50 | Ferrari F40

    Here are the three Annivs black, red and white.

    So the two white and the blue cars were all c.1982?
