    Photo's distorted somehow perhaps? The cars lines at the rear look funny.

    Indeed. It is only a photo of an original photograph that was laying curvy on a desk.
    I still couldn't get the original photograph for a good scan. Someday, hopefully. :)

    Thanks for posting.

    Its difficult to understand why this car's livery was changed, but as always its the owner's prerogative.

    Awesome to see the original Countach in such a rad colour combination. I think you can tell a car's truly exotic when almost any colour mates with its shape nicely. Purples, dark metallic greens, gold, lighter blues and dare I say it, even brown - all look amazing on the Countach.

    "Ohhhhh, Countach...!" indeed.

    #1120210 (never seen before Spring 2015!) oddly has orange blinkers while it was originally a Swiss-delivered LP400. I can't recall any other Swiss LP400 to have had its blinkers changed from clear to orange.
    The brown shade seems to be the original color (Marrone Dino Metallizzato) but, considering this pristine looking condition, I hardly believe it is the original spray.
    The roundish orange side blinkers could mean a factory (or other) restoration.
    About the 'Senape' interior, this LP400 has darker brown carpets...

    The weird darker brown Countach I posted earlier seems to be originally a LP400, yet there's no absolute proof of it due to the lack of better photographs.
    Important: There's a small roof plexiglass on that car! ...Where used to be the periscopa roof?
    The dashboard seems to be rather flat, yet no proof it is the type of a LP400.
    Also, this car's color scheme doesn't match with any factory LP400S records.
    Personally, I think there are good chances for this Countach to be a retrofitted LP400 "S".

    Both cars seem to have the same exhausts, while the mesh area is different (though looking too short on #1120210).
    Both cars seem to have the same dashboard color, and the same ventilation outlets.

    Yet, this is not enough to prove both cars are one and the same.
    If anybody here knows more about this brown Countach, registered in Geneva during the '90s... or about that stunning LP400 #1120210's history, be sure to share with us. ;)

    Thank you for this testimony!
    I'll keep searching about LP400S series 2.
