    We're toying with the idea of establishing a proper constantly administrated & updated Downdraft Registry, with the idea that it supplements a resource & appreciation thread such as this one.

    More to come on this

    Hearing that the first set of P7s newly-manufactured by Pirelli to be sent to the USA is headed my way is a not a bad start to the weekend.

    I love the Pirelli Cinturato P7 logo on the side-walls, the rounded shoulders, and the faithfully retained iconic tread pattern.

    The original design using modern rubber compounds, how cool is that?

    Pirelli really hit this one out of the park, Grazie.

    And on page 345, this was meant to be!

    I plan to report the process of fitting these to our Mimran Downdraft, and the resultant driving experience

    JLA12307 always on the move.

    One of the reasons this Countach has run as well as it has covering almost 200,000 kms is because it's been well-maintained to standard spec over the years

    Gorgeous car, i really like black MY88,5. There is a poster from the 90s with a black exterior-black interior-black wheels, wingless MY88,5 which looks really "evil".

    Thank you!

    I know what you mean, here is an earlier skirt-less car with that look, I know the poster you speak of

    IMHO, this is the perfect black/black car, skirt-less, wingless, the epitome of less is more, I think the Countach shape looks downright spectacular without all the appendages which only serve to detract from it's brutal beauty

    Thank you, we restored the car (as documented in this thread) with the idea that it would be given a new lease on life

    I'm still trying to find out which one this ex-Australia spec Downdraft now resident in Hong Kong is, seen with Hong Kong registration TJ 7549 if that helps, below with garage test plates applied on service test-run
