    Sure will! We'll throw up as many pictures as possible. Dan is on the case again. Looking forward to getting some shots of the cars on the Rockingham circuit.

    Cheers

    Nero Tenebre 1986 Downdraft based in the USA, Nevada-registered AWWESUM, ordered by John Wittrig in 1985 via S. E. A Automobili di Roma, collected at the factory by him and driven out of the gates on EE plates in the summer of 1986.

    Over 100,000 kms and 30 years later, John still owns the car.

    Hate to be the party-pooper but the owner of the red QV parked at the end of the row (on the lawn) told me he was now on the second lap of its odometer. At the meet on Sunday, total recorded kilometres was 107,700...

    That's incredible, and it (FLA12878) runs like one should.

    I actually have notes of 5 cars over 100,000 kms, not confirmed by me personally, but told to me. Certainly, there must me a fair number more that we are simply unaware of.

    I had to post this here because the Countach Lunch turned out to be an impromptu Downdraft Reunion!

    Its best watched on YouTube itself to see the high-res-detail, and turn up the volume!

    Topside view of the Blu Acapulco Argentina Downdraft showing engine bay with some polished parts.

    This car has been there for many years (as known to me) if not from new.

    That's true.

    Given the maintenance they require, especially in the early years, they obviously have the best longevity of the Countach range, in fact, Valentino told me that personally.
