    I’m looking for a blank warranty/service booklet and leather case for a 25th anniversary. Does anyone have a lead on one?

    It was never homologated to the car therefore this was a way around regulation but you could order from the factory with the wing

    How does that explain anything? I’ve seen photos of the factory with multiple Countach’s with wings mounted also and wondered the same thing.
     
  15. It was supposed to be installed somewhere else. We are told that somewhere was the parking lot. Imagine cold days, wet days etc with no one really caring where the wing was installed. In the land of automotive frauds, this was a small one. Think about the diesel scandal that Audi & VW got into. Naw, they put that wing on right on the factory floor, just no one could say legally that's what happened, imo.

    The wings were installed anywhere they could outside the factory, then some cars were brought back in for PDI (ergo the pics of a few obviously completed cars with wings inside the factory, they were never installed on the factory floor as that was a significant liability to Lamborghini SpA from the Italian Transportation Authority for installing non-homologated components. How do we know this to be so? Separate individual testimony from multiple Countach-period factory floor workers and period Lamborghini employees, all corroborating each other. I know people want it to be said that the wing was installed on the assembly line or in the factory, but, the fact is, that wasn't the case.

    Robert Westall talking about KLA12062, one of the two last RHD produced
    https://www.picuki.com/media/3394491066895307844

    The other car KLA12061 in Bordeaux was destroyed in an accident, I bought the door sills from a car breaker in ireland many years ago, they had also the engine lid on ebay that time.
    https://www.countach.ch/Sale.html

    Both got delivered on 24th July 1990, most likely on the same Truck to Portman.

    Slightly out of the blue, does anyone have any photos of the two black Countach Anniversarys that live in South Africa?

    These two cars are a real mystery, but there must be photos of both of them, surely?

    Any help much appreciated?!
