    Not shure if they are still avail, i got mine 10 or so years ago,from Ultimate in Orlando,they had one box on the shelf.and i think you are right reg the 25th,Terry at Ultimate told me they where replacement original Lamborghini for the MM box,(your expertice) for mostlly 25th cars, i bought to keep and use if(when) my MM box would quit. Looks sexy and clean,hopefully it works as good as it looks.

    I was at the fair in Padua but I didn’t found a pair original electric turbos. Do everyone know a source?

    Since you bring this up again, sure, we'll be happy to have that discussion with him, or anyone else for that matter

    Your description of your car's operation is precisely like that of the last few Downdrafts which I have recently driven.

    Same characteristics, except with more power.

    Exactly right.

    Any properly-maintained carbureted Countach from LP400 to 25th Annivesario will start up at first crank, let's not pretend that's exclusive to Fuelies.

    Meanwhile, nobody asked you to buy a carbed Countach and those who own them will gladly keep them, so I guess everyone is happy!

    I love them all so i am not in the never ending contest between them, i will say that a fuel injected car with neglected maintenance has a better chance at still starting over a carb car that was neglected.. or if a car sits idle for a long time, over a month, then obviously the carbs may need to fill up again. Still, not a hardship. Mine just sat a month and started right up. Of course i have electronic,multi spark ignition, and i think THAT is more of a factor in start up than fuel delivery.

    Allen did you ever learn the production details of your car in regards to the 88.5 vs the a/c controls vs lower side vents? I remember you talking about it but cant remember the outcome. How many had lower side vents but the old style a/c panel?

    I noticed my buddys white 881/2 got the new digital ac control. Also,i like your comment reg the carb/Fuel discussion, its interesting ,more than once i have spoken to wealty car collectors Not manipulated or guided by brokers, their focus is on finding the best car poss. Carb or fi,not so important,its all about the good car, that beeing said, if money is no object,get one of each. Again,i will say this, Countach is addictive,after almost 12 years,i am grinning big time every time i drive it.

    I haven't other than communicating with Mario Andretti that the car had the side skirts when he purchased it. My car has a kevlar front hood, side a/c vents, dual visors, but yet the old A/c controls.
