    Welcome Jim!

    Good to have you posting here all the way from South Africa.

    Has KLA12978 been owned by you since new?

    Also, do you know the chassis number of the yellow LP500S which is South Africa registered CJ 31729?

    It's fairly common for a car manufacturer to build batches of different variants at the same time, but that image does not illustrate them rolling down the 'line.

    It's the completion area where the cars were given a pre-delivery inspection, and I originally made that post to illustrate the sign stating in Italian that "The next test driver will be the client, make sure he is satisfied".

    Here below are images of the cars rolling down the line, fuel-injected and carbureted cars together, again it quite significant that Lamborghini built carbureted Countachs right up till the very last one made

    I really enjoyed the two 25ths I owned in the past, probably because I used them as intended for long-distance cruising.

    I still like them, and it's possible I will get another, if I do it'll be a carbureted example in a sublime color

    Agree,i do like them myself. If the right color combo came along,i would really be interested. Yellow imo is nice on this variant, also the brg color uk car.

    I think the coolest thing about the 25th is Pagani’s involvement . I agree about a Downdraft 25th in a sublime color, awesome.

    I don't think it's a photoshop, there are more images of that trio online, but I'm curious about that RHD Giallo one as well, seems to have a red interior, perhaps a repaint, I can ask Sheikh if you want.

    In fact I just did, I'll report what he says.

    The Tokyo drive-to-work 25th I posted about a page ago on it's way home.

    Perhaps that's what I should do, buy one of these for the purpose of using it as a daily-driver

    Great video. Always nice to see Valentino talk about his passion for Lamborghini and the Countach.

    joe whats the suggested maintenance interval for engine out? not asking what the book says but 30 yrs later whats the practical recommendation? i have a buddy with an anny that he has owned since new - 50k miles and he has never done an engine out. thoughts?

    It depends on how often the car has been driven, how far, in what manner, and if & how it has been periodically serviced along the way.

    So many factors!

    I know of some Countachs which have never had the engine removed 30 plus years later, but that's not necessarily a good thing!

    You really can't draw any conclusions unless you subject the individual car to an inspection.
