    We have already discussed this in the values thread and pointed out that it is not a 1983 as advertised, but a 1980 with engine modified from carbs to fuel-injection.

    Here are some photos I took of my favorite car of all time, Countach 1121038. Seeing it at the Quail in 2011 cemented my obsession with the Countach forever and I will never forget it. It is hard to explain, but no car has affected me like this one did. I have been lucky enough to see it twice and hopefully I will see it again some time. If I could only pick one car, I would choose 1121038 without any hesitation. To me, it is the perfect Countach. Some of these photos I have posted in other locations before and some I have not but all of the editing is new.

    IMO the best color combo for a low body hands down. Really shows off the curves. Here are a few my friend took of a QV DD.

    Well-written from the heart Andrew, a true enthusiast's expression if ever I read one. I can tell you many, many people agree with you.

    Big wing as fitted to the ex-Mimram LP500S Prototype.

    Note the unusual details such as the "5" badge and the LP400 reflector-less lenses.

    Very cool Countach.

    That's very interesting information. Did those numbers come from the factory or another source ?

    Hi Olivier,

    Is it possible your records identify the UK delivered RHD LP400?

    I have tried to identify the UK RHD chassis numbers (believed 10 - 12 cars as first registered in the UK), but chassis 1120120 ( believed Red 1975 London Motor Show car ) and 1120146 ( believed yellow 1976 import to UK ) are to me unconfirmed.

    Also is 1120264 identified as a UK RHD car?

    Any info would be gratefully received.

    The UK importer was Berlinetta Italia for the LP400

    I was asking because when I contacted the factory about some information on my car they told me it was a different color than it actually was. It took me a year and they finally conceded that my cars color was changed while on the assembly line and that information was never transferred over to the factory data base. Not sure if it happens often or maybe my car was just a 1 time thing.
