    That looks great! Did anyone push the car to the limit and do a fast lap? Know of any famous lap times with any Countachs?

    Looks like a lack of concentration on the drivers part. Few bits came off the car. Wonder where it is now and who owns it. I do love a CT in yellow.

    In this image taken later, we had been joined by one more DD to make it four.

    The location was Hard Rock Cafe @ Hyde Park Corner circa 1990.

    We stopped some traffic that day...

    Perhaps Raymond or Emilio can answer this: Ive seen a number of European DDs with the older sport exhaust ceramic-coated in off-white, was this an original application from Ansa?

    Yes, you could order them as Aluminized, quite normal for race cars, from the time ceramic coating was not yet available.

    From 1986 on, but depending on the market.
