.....but I just had to do it! I dont know what came over me but these cars have a way of turning a perfect gentleman into a road hooligan. Anyway, the test was a real success. Was the burning smell the rubber, or the clutch??? LOL. LOL. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
This LP400 has a little way to go before we will see her back on the road again. Joe Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
No. This is the Ex-Zoltan Reti car, 1120132. Reti was part owner of the factory in 1975 (the money behind Leimer & Rossetti they say). The only similarity between this car and mine is that it had what Trefor Thomas and Bob Wallace refer to as the 392 bhp tuned engine (Miura SV cams, bigger carburettor main jets etc). Of course the cams didnt last at all, but in the meantime it sure was fast! LOL. My car will be back on the road next month after a full engine rebuild to original factory standard specs. Joe
...and all in-between. All the cars we talk about are built somewhere between these 2. How cool it is that they live together.... Joe Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tony if I thought there was a chance in hell, I wouldnt post.... BUT, I would still love to be surprised and see you have her for a price youre comfortable with. Joe Image Unavailable, Please Login
Did all 88 1/2 cars have the finned side skirts on them in front of the rear wheels? Mine is supposed to be a 88 1/2 but doesn't have them and all the ones I have seen recently have them as well. My title says 1988 but sold as a 88.5 . Just curious...
Here is 1121016 and the Bravos show as the original units did, a little rough with texture, not all smoothed out.. Joe Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
...even back in 1975, they were ga-ga about these in Japan. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I guess 25 models 88 1/2.... (don't they all have the electronic type climate controls along with side skirts?) The first and the last.... they should call that display "bookends" (stolen from the Navy) I hate the fact that Japanese love the Countach.... at least they have good taste.
I think more like 200 88 1/2 cars worldwide. I am now told 58 for USA alone, 14 for England in RHD guise, etc. USA production was often one-third.... Anyway, here is a rare beast, an LP400S prototype coutesy of Wolf presented to us by postcard. Joe Image Unavailable, Please Login
