    There was only one UK RHD DD in yellow, so the car was also registered 666RU and 25ASM. The dvla shows 666RU as being associated with this car still, until 31st October 2000 when the tax was last due to be paid. I would guess it left the UK then. Many many cars seem to be in Australia, so I'd start looking there...anyone know?

    Thanks for all your work on the RHD cars Robert.

    It was a very special car, used in an epic feature.

    Standard engine, timed right, it made 180 mph @ Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome & Proving Ground, one & the same as used by Top Gear in more recent times.

    Epic.

    Also a swiss car MY1987 from the Dashboard, else it could be GLA12951 which went to Danmark.

    From the description I'm unsure, could it be that sweden had a similar law about the side indicators or perhaps the owner bought it in Switzerland new.
    It's most likely a swiss car it also has the choke below the steering column.

    FLA12831 was for sale at Autodrome Cannes.
    Somebody spotted the car also in an Exhibition.

    Another nice example with old fashioned mirrors: http://www.autogespot.de/lamborghini-countach-5000-quattrovalvole/2013/11/20

    OK, decision made. I'm going to get my wheels done in gold. I have this scratch I have to itch. . . . . .

    Notice the scale vs the modern exotics.

    I find the Countach to be small compared to any iconic sports car from any era, even eras that preceded its production, and its diminutive size is only exaggerated with time. It has an avant-garde look & feel about it that no other car has.

    Compared to contemporary Lamborghinis, the Countachs is, well, small!

    Those 15-inch steam-roller wheels shrouded by muscular flares give it a menacing quality. The package strikes fear in the hearts of car-guys everywhere. It looks dangerous.
