    A Countach in an unusual color is universally admired. This seems to be true of all sports cars, the departure from the norm seems to make them more interesting, and therefore special.

    I asked Fabio if he happened to know the VIN. I'll post if I hear anything.

    No, but its a special color similar to Blu Miura, and this car has been seen in Italy variously over the past 6-7 years. It was featured in a magazine test with LP400, LP500S, 25th etc.

    Its been posted several times in this thread.

    Those car show photos illustrate exactly why the original Countach was such a revelation when compared to what else was on show. Great to see the Lancia Stratos HF Zero in the background too. Probably my all time favourite show car.
    Speaking of the LP500; when it was "crash tested", would they have ripped out the prototypes dash and original instrumentation I wonder? To me that original interior was just as amazing as it's outwards appearance. Most likely long gone I'm guessing which is a shame as that aspect of the original design seems to have been forgotten.

    Love how the blue is reflected onto that glossy black Miura SV!

    Very strange indeed, first time I see this. Maybe Joe has an explanation?

    I looks to me like electric window lifts (à la 25th Anniversario) have been installed. I just can see where the switches are...

    The Miura SV mostly obscured by the LP500 looks to be dark metallic green...

    Thanks for the answer. So it is very likely non original.

    Is this a body and wheel reprint? Peering into the side air intake the area appears untouched.

    Similar to mine,with the exeption of the black seats. Are those a factory original?

    It was the first time I saw a QV with white interior and black seats. Probably not factory original.
