    Australia also received RHD FI cars - at least 1 Rosso Corsa/Crema car, for sale in London about 10 years ago.

    Of course Canada also received DD cars new as well. However I realize not in the Anniversario spec, just the prior QV models.

    Very cool Mike.

    As with the Downdrafts, decades later, relevant technical & historical material is being uncovered and we continue to learn.

    Thanks fir sharing.

    Rob, I assure you this car is amazing in the flesh. Albeit many years ago, I have seen it a number of times in London, and it is stunning.

    The color is a special-order one-off non-metallic 'Bentley Green' and the interior is all Bentley with Connolly leather used for the dark-green-with-red piping, a livery that was available in 1990 with Bentley. It has the Downdraft engine, the big wing, and the sports exhaust, this is a no-regrets car, if I wanted to buy a RHD 25th Anniversario, this car would be my very first choice. Its been well-maintained, not modified, has tons of character, is sublimely unique, and ticks all the boxes.

    And no, I have no affiliation with the seller!

    BTW, I think you should contact Sheikh Amari (or the soon-to-be-new owner) and have him bring it to your Countach Reunion.

    Ditch the red piping,and a 1975 Lincoln mark 4 interior is not a far fetched comparo,that beeing said ,i really like it, its different ,and Countach does very well being different,as Joe said ,if i was in the market, i would do some serious home work on this one, ( i do actually like mid 70s Lincolns and their color options) very cool

    Too special to be changed, and thank goodness it hasn't for 26 years.

    Could you please post them. Roy had a separate thread about it but did not post the article. I have a subscription so I couldn't read it.
    Thanks

    Stumbled across this thread by accident.

    Here is a bit of old home movie I took back in the day of my British 25th, KLA12633

    The start of the video is it being started for the first time for months in the winter, hence all the condensation from the exhaust. At this point it had only 4,000 miles on it. I wasn't a typical wealthy Lamborghini owner, but was just a regular guy who having seen the Cannonball Run movie aged 10, had lived at home with my parents and saved up every single penny I'd every seen for 14 long years until I could afford to buy one, sacrificing everything along the way. I sold it in 2001. Yes, it was worth it.

    Weird.

    Bear with me on this one...

    At the recent Goodwood Revival Auction, there was this black RHD Anniversary Countach for sale. [screenshot from auction website]........

    Nice car - black, red interior, RHD, Anniversary Countach, low mileage, low number of owners and UK registered G358VYL.

    According to the catalog chassis number KLA12815, which is a RHD black Countach Anniversary......

    But UK registration G358VYL is on KLA12926 - which is another RHD black Countach Anniversary.......

    Must have got my numbers mixed up....?

    Then I went to the Revival, and took these photos of the car.

    It is KLA12926.

    The auctioneers got the chassis number of the wrong in the catalog [you'd think a typo or something]....

    ....but how did they have one black RHD Countach Anniversary in their auction, but put the chassis number of another identical black RHD Countach Anniversary in the catalog? It's kind of a rare car...

    Weird.

    Can anyone explain this?
