    Looks like a swiss car, Emission tubes and choke on the left side of the carbs.
    Could be HLA12048, it was said to be serviced recently in Italy when Simon advertised it.

    Glad you mention that Raymond, I was going to ask what the strange tubes were!
    What impact did it have to the performance of the engine, if any ?

    No Impact, they are attached at the flange of the headers, mostly useless because they get filled by Emission

    Tuning only, most cars have them removed.

    You can see them on the side of this engine (6 on each side) in the factory QV brochure.

    Didi's Downdraft at the 2015 Essen Motor Show.

    You can see that the wheels are refinished items, the gold is different from original. The rest appears very nice.

    Interesting interior!

    I bought this as an oversized 26"x39" poster back when I was about 13 years old. I didn't have the cash on me & begged the clerk to hold it for me so I could run home. They refused, but luckily it was still there when I returned. I kept it rolled up in a tube all those years & just recently framed it up. It's a great poster! I also had a smaller one hung up in my garage :)

    The poster of this image http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144360213-post949.html says it was made in 2014 and the poster of the image of the red car with gold wheels says it was made in 2015.

    Either way, he appears to have 3 Downdrafts: red, white & black.

    Its always great to see a Countach with EE (Escursionisti Esteri) Touring plates showing that the car was collected as a new car at the factory and driven out of the factory gates. What a special experience that must have been.
