Countach, the ultimate supercar

The pricing discussion is funny now.

 

Yes, 30-40k pounds is shaking your head cheap in comparison to now.

 

Seen recently you say, but were? In Italy?

 

Japan.

 

Love the white 512 tr

The same car I posted above, gold Bravos too intense, all-white interior with piping to non-original application, that said, correct Moody wing, desirable Vitaloni bullet mirrors, correct Bravos and nice Lowbody stance.

 

I remember seeing this car in London in the summer of 1983 and I belive this is an early LP500S.

Found another old video of a Countach which our American buddies might be more familiar with, being a video produced by Car & Driver magazine. It was called Top Ten Exotic Cars from the very early nineties and featured cars like the F40, BMW M1, Testarossa, GT40 etc.

Nice to see that not all Countaches from that era were driven by hairy-chested-medallion-wearing types ;-)

Anyway...here's the video.

Cool find. The black Anniversary looks especially aggressive reversing.

 

The king is dead... God save the king!

Miss Tahiti is now gone and hopefully she'll find a new custodian who'll take care of her. She really deserves it! It'll be fondly missed as I had so many good memories in it. Once again thank you Raymond for having made it possible.

But it is for the good cause!

Another butchered LP400 will come back from its ashes. I just part exchanged it for 1120034, which currently looks like an odd mix-match of many Countach variants parts, ranging from LP400, LP400S and LP5000S.

The LP400 has always been a dream, and I am glad to start the process of bringing her back to life. Surely it'll prove a difficult journey, but definitely an exciting one.

And I'd like to share it with all of you and request the help of the community to help me put her back on track.

I am not in a hurry and want to do the things right, so any comment will always be welcomed. By the way, I am also looking for any element of history considering my car, it'd be greatly apreciated.

Let the fun begin!

Very exciting, congrats! Please do keep us posted.

 

Wow. This will be a great journey you're about to embark upon. Congrats on your acquisition. All I ask is a restoration/ reversion thread when the time comes!

Great video. Now that my friends is what I call an Eccentric English woman. She's not that bad compared to eccentric English men! Top credit to her!!

Congratulations, I can't wait to see the process of bringing it back. Not only will you have a 400, but loads of cool spare parts!

 

I remember her car for sale around five years ago. It was still a very nice example of a 2v injected Countach.

She lived a very full life. More so than a lot of us will. She also had great taste in cars!
