Anniversary models

Wasn't the Anniv. Countach in 1989, a 25th Anniv. car?

At any rate, nice vid... Enjoyed it.

 

I know that there was a 1989 25th anniversary car. Not too sure about the 1984. Probably wasn't a ten year car.

I never was crazy about the light purple color of the 30th anniversary car (especially the blue interior) but to each his own.

Here's the 25th ann. car.

I know some will disagree, but to me, the Countach just doesn't look right without a spoiler...

 

I have to agree with you. Looks unfinished to me too. You remember that little spoiler that they had in the front too...that was silly. Looks like "Pimp my Countach"

I love the color on the 40th ann Murcie, seen two in person. Looks way better than in pics. I don't prefer the purple on the regular SE30s, but I think purple is the best on the Jota version. I've love every type of Countach. I think the ones that need the wings are the ones with the huge fender flares and cheese graters. The LP500 looks perfect without the wing.

The same can apply to Diablos. The early 2wd and the later 6.0 had clean lines and didn't have that 3 finned air duct behind the doors so they look good without wings. The other Diablos had the cheese graters (i.e. VT roadsters, SE30s, etc) so they looked a lot better with wings.

 

so thats real I though it was a P-shop

 

Early US cars had a certain bumper height requirement. The "wing" is actually an extension of the bumper to meet regulations.

 

I'm with you 100% on the front "wing"....

 

IIRC the Miura production was stopped in '73 and the LP400 Countach began production in '74, so the only thing remotely related to a "Special/Anniv. Edition" Miura would be the Jota.

 

I never understood why Lambo made the 40th Anniv Murcies as 2003 Model year cars. Should have been a 2004 model to accurately portray the 40th Anniv. That's Italian for ya!

 

The 40th Anniversary hats have 1963-2003 embroidered on them.

 

Remember that Chrysler was the one, that insisted that L redesign the Countach.

Anniv cars ? Only the SE 30 had geniune performance upgrades. The 89 car had a slight redesign of the suspension, and improved P Zero tires.

25th 89 Countach (Approx 650 +/- built)

30th SE 30 (150 built / 25 imported into USA)
USA colors
black Only one or two
white Only one
yellow Only one

(balance split between purple and red).

Their were never any American (purple) cars imported, with the blue Alcantra interior. An enthusiast in LA, has recently redone his car in the blue Alcantra interior.

I believe two cars have been exported out of the USA.

Best Countach ? That depends on what you are looking for. Their are cars with less power, that have much less weight, and less luxury items. It appears that most European cars do not have the wing.
