    I picked up the almost brand new white sports seats that were for sale on this forum. I can say that they are WAY more comfortable to sit in then the original 2 piece electric seats and super lightweight. I'm curious what Emilio is asking for the seats???

    At your place, I would make a market survey on all websites in order to see how many tall guys would be interested in such option.

    Then, you should finance the reproduction of a limited serie with original bucket seats contractor, even if they are no period, they are still from same supplier...

    Does anyone know by chance how many Rosso Perlato anniversary came out of the factory ? I just saw one last week at auction (keno brothers) and I gotta say I was very, very impressed with that color as well as with the overall condition of the car, but that paint was stunning and looked flawless i must say.

    This is discussed earlier in this thread.

    Its not as rare on a 25th Anniversario as some would suggest, and if you look at some of the Registries and check internet postings over the years, I'd estimate there are @ 30 different chassis numbers identified as such, which means there significantly more in actuality. That said, all things considered, its a rare color.

    Yes that is a STUNNING color. Much much better than the "normal" rosso siviglia.

    Disagree, stunning color on a ski boat,or a Lowrider, not so much on a Countach, Rosso Siviglia, imho is the red to go ẃith, then again, the candy/perlato was introduced on the Anni car wich(if any)of the Countach variants Had to be painted this color, the Anni would be it,being its the most flambouyant of the group,

    well that's your opininon

    they are not progress to me as I much prefer the bucket seats, that my 2x Countach 25th didn't have unfortunately.

    I never felt comfortable nor proper in place over the overall 30.000 km I did in one year in my 1st 25th because of that open angle of 100° to 110°...

    The 25th 2-piece seats are an advancement on the 1974 - 1988 Countach seat, and the 25th sports seats (in the shape of the Diablo seat) are an an advancement over the 2-piece seats. My experience may differ from yours. I was very comfortable in the 2-piece seats.

    I have a 25th with two piece electric seats, I also have 25th sport seats that I have bought but haven't been installed yet. I also own a 1988.5 QV with banana style seats. Out of all three seats I prefer the 25th Sport seats the best, they are comfy and hug my body in all the right spots (I don't have any driving time in these yet)
    2nd place goes to the QV, the banana seats are great to drop into and feel good.
    3rd place the 25th two piece electric, THEY SUCK!!!! I can't get a good driving position no matter how I adjust the seats, I'm a pretty small guy and I have no idea how small your butt needs to be to fit comfortable. I'm 5'7" and 150 pounds. I think your body shape and height will play a big role in what seats work best for you!!!

    The VIN is not correct. You'll never see an "O" in the chassis number.

    Is the 25th Anniversary any quicker or better handling than a standard QV?

    Outside of the exterior aesthetics, is it not a slightly better car?

    It is thought by many to be better handling and more robust, but that's hardly surprising after 15 years of development, it it? The styling on the other hand is always subjective.

    The car is in Jakarta now. Cool color.
    Now there are 2 Countaches here, both 25th Anniversary. Rosso Perlato and Blu Speciale.
