Countach LP400 Vintage Photos

that was the first countach i ever saw about that age! i recognize that ct by the chrome mirrors. i bought my first car a few years later (alfa) at Grand Prix Motors in Seattle as well. fond memories of that place

photo probably 1980 judging by the cars and f1 poster in the back

 

Great car when new in Germany - poor car when in Japan!

 

Hello Victor,

I have received a copy of a 1976 transport bill. On it the transport of 6 vehicles to the Automobile salon in Paris 1976 is noted.
Among other things, the following 3 Lamborghini were brought to the Paris Motor Show 1976.

Lamborghini Countach 1120218
Lamborghini Espada 9804
Lamborghini Urraco 20410.

I do not know if this information is interesting to you or if you already knew it.

Best regards

Zdenek

 

There's also a Silhouette at this motor show but I always searching some photo....

Thank for sharing: is this the No.2 prototype, the actual green one displayed at Lamborghini Museum?

Thank you very much

ciao

 

Yes, 1120001, the one I found and pushed the factory to get it.

 

thanks, Raymond. Please help me to understand: That is the first LP400, the first car after the yellow LP500 (the first Countach ever, the one that was destroyed in the crash test), correct?

ciao

 

Correct.

 

Correct, read the history here: http://www.countach.ch/History/LP400/index.html

 

Thank you very much, Raymond. So, 1120001 was born red with a black interior and then became green with brown interior like in the picture I posted, correct?

Yes, when I found her in 2001 I could find the red Color in different place.

Red color is still there, if you remove something on 1120001

ciao

 

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

1121034 which we purchased from the original owner and owned for a while, now in the Netherlands I believe, we still have the iconic FLIES LO plate in the family though

does anyone here has some more pictures of the special early interior that 1120001 had when the car was completed as a prototype? I mean the one showed in my post 437

Thank you very much

ciao

 

Ok: Nobody knows more about the 1120001 interiors.

Did anyone already post here this last year picture?

No because this is the Countach LP400 VINTAGE photos thread.

 

this is a vintage replica...

Should be like the old one but no interiors and mechanics. More than a replica, It's a reproduction

ciao

 

The interior of 1120001 has been posted in the main Countach thread multiple times showing it in all three (3) stages, I recommend you look in that thread.

Stage 1 was when the car was red and the interior was trimmed in black suede or Alcantara.

Stage 2 was when the car was painted green and the interior was trimmed dark brown leather (see image below).

Stage 3 is the present arrangement where the interior was trimmed production-color Tabacco with the original space-age padded seats replaced with production items.

See the image below which shows 1120001 with it's interior in it's 2nd stage.

We know all about 1120001's interiors, as explained above.

Yes, this image has been posted, and the model car has been much-discussed, also in the main Countach thread.

Sorry, it is not vintage or a replica, nor is it a reproduction, it is simply a full-scale model, although arguably a very nice one, but no more or less, replicas by definition are automotive copies that can be driven on the road, the same with reproductions.
