    i do not think there was ever been an optional sunroof available, this one is may be done by a previous owner
    the car also had a black leather dash

    VIN is 1138, a 1980 car

    this car is for sale since some time, it looks really un-restored and not bad, but all considered i think the asking is a bit hi

    With that sunroof will it now handle like the proverbial wet noodle, or is whats left of the roof enough to maintain the normal chassis rigidity?

    Interesting. No mounting holes either.

    Original, or post-production?

    The sunroof looks similar to the one on the white 5000S in post 4505.

    Joe,

    see my post re this car in the Australian section: "Lamborghini's spotted thread"

    We heard from an Oz Fchatter who posted that the car was resprayed red now,with the interior re-dyed and is now rather sad and rarely used!

    Cheers,

    Pete

    I truly wish the dollar/euro gap was reversed....if so, this car would be on its way to the USA!

    I like it, but for the love of dear god those truck mirrors have to go. I know they are sacred but I'm making an exception!

    OK OK whatever, if they were there to begin with then I guess they are cool.

    But I don't have to look.

    Dr. Jonathan Palmer behind the wheel of Frankie J.Bradley's Countach S S1 1121100, on the old Goodwood track circa 1983 in a test for MOTOR magazine. At this point he had won the 1981 British Formula Three Championship, and the 1983 Formula Two championship. He went on to participate in 87 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting in 1983.

    He looks relaxed!

    Argento is in the top five colors for this car imo. I like
    flag mirror, they looks old school to me.
    There is a black car in the Chicago suburbs that has a sunroof that the
    owner "claims" is factory installed....??? It also has the red tail-light
    reflecting lens across the entire back panel.

    Look at those gauges!!! I don't think i would be relaxed
