    Good move, at this point anyone with parallel-linked Countach from 1978 to 1988 ought to be fitting these to significantly improve handling & ride.

    That said I'd advise new fronts as well.

    A fake random internet image based on one of the LP400 which had an accident on the 50th Tour.

    This image of the Countach LP500 Prototype crashed is real

    Hi everyone, nice interview of James May. He among others answers the question: "what is the greatest supercar of all times?", from 5:04 to 5:46. An the answer is... the Coutach, especially in its LP400 form!

    I saw that. It was the typical left handed compliment from the guys at Top Gear, but still nice for the Countach to get the recognition as the greatest of all time.

    James has an awesome sense of humor as Harry Metcalfe will tell you, I recall him uttering the immortal line: "I am in the Countach at last ..................... and it is terrible! ;)

    Ah, last time I was with sam in Cali we went driving around picking up interior parts for his E-type. Lol.

    I saw castriota not too long ago...he is back stateside after Bertone shut down.

    I remember the Argento LP400 and the Blu Tahiti LP400S S1 from when they lived in California 25 years ago!

    The latter (1121016) was one of Steve Dypvik's trio of LP400S S1 cars.

    I remember when David G owned that in the USA as well.

    I also remember 1120222 in the USA, when it was offered to me in the mid-90s.

    So many Countachs have left the USA, but, in the past year alone I've seen @ 6 cars come to the USA, perhaps the tide is turning.
