    Bravo to you.

    It is convenient, lightweight, durable, adjustable, inexpensive and allows you to use a Countach in relative comfort to the AC, in fact you can switch the AC off and gain a more responsive car, the only Countachs it cannot benefit are those that are not driven ;)

    HLA12094.

    IMO the 3 best Supercars from the early to mid 80s, and the Downdraft is by far the bargain!

    In fact it makes no sense that a Downdraft is worth less than the current Aventador named Countach.

    Totally.

    Bonus point they look cool, and they're a talking point when you stop.

    The last 3 years of driving with GLA12997 I never went anywhere without them, I wish I had discovered them in 1987 when I started my Countach ownership

    September 1988, the Kremer boys, Ferruccio and Valentino at Sant Agata, I bet they drove those Downdrafts from Germany to Italy as fast as they would go!

    Thanks so much Joe, after a long search I'm very excited to get this particular downdraft! Appreciate your help, and willingness to share your invaluable insight on all things Countach (not to mention Miuras/288 GTOs/etc)!
