Countach, the ultimate supercar

Lamborghini abandoned on Tower Bridge had 'only just come out of garage after repairs' - Telegraph

 

Understood, but I personally wouldn't characterize Joe Sackey as "someone who has no lesson to give."

 

it's up to you, we have each our opinion

 

Fair enough.

 

Yes, FI.

Odd mismatch of wheels, horizontal panel under the exhaust? Hmmm. I don't personally know this car, but strange stuff, for sure.

 

Going out on a limb and saying kit all the way. That body doesn't look right and the wheels sitting under it don't look right.

If you look at the back of your Countachs and look under the body under the taillight, it does not look exactly that picture....the angle and where the fair ends. Oh and the exhaust pipe right before the tailpipe....unless that's aftermarket.

I am only saying because it looks too easy to wash under there. And it's a ***** to wash on mine

 

And the tail lights don´t have that fourth reflector.

 

From another forum it is real
It's actually a genuine Countach. Owned by a guy called Alan Edwards a london based business man. He bought it from Austria and its only just got back on the road after being repaired as it was rear ended the day he got it! He has also recently totalled his Ferrari 599. I suspect he is not the happiest of men at the moment! ???
Not a good way to get your car towed and he got arrested not a good day at all.

Some News from 1121030:

Swiss car originally René Leimer, first service at Lambo Motors Aesch.

Later sold to US, came back to Germany where it was bought in 1990 by current owner , the car has a LP400 Chassis, it was modded by the factory into a LP400s, it still has the LP400 lower rear Suspension arm.

I got this info directly from the current owner (since 1990, who doesn't want to sell).

 

Here's a better photo of the rear of the Tower Bridge Countach.

 

There is no seam in the front fender flair,horisontal ,(continuation of the bottom of the door) also the distance from outside edge of orange marker and end of reflector looks to short ,i agree with Roy ,fake all the way

 

+1 I agree with all of the, kit claims.
The slope of the front fender to round imo. The door doesn't seem to align with the front fender either. The rear end is quite odd.

 

Never seen a kit with an FI deck lid. Google tower bridge Lamborghini. Agreed it looks weird from the back but other shots it looks real.

 

Neither have I. Rear shot looks real to me.

Wing supports are off on that pic?

 

As well as the fog lights and exhaust valance.

 

Hi Bob, Nice to have met at the L.I. show. By the way did you see the white CT facing you? what was the deal with that!? It looked like a kit out of a yard but I doubt that show let kits being shown.

 

Yes it is a kit car and they did not know it was a kit untill i told them. They had it listed as an anniversary countach.

You need to get your car out and drive it. Let me know and I will meet up with you. It is always nice to meet fellow Countach owners.

You can see the underside some in the video. Hard to see on my phone, but it looks real from what I can see...
