Countach, the ultimate supercar

I’d preserve it. Most don’t chose that route though.

 

And a dent on the fender behind the left door! Those prototypes had a hard life!
Thanks for sharing.

 

I'd also preserve it, if it were my choice.

 

Leave it alone and drive the snot out of it. There maybe a time where a full blown resto is warranted. Now is not that time. Drive it, fix small stuff as you go along. The paint is only original once and sometimes that's where the value is.

 

Just curious - someone told me the other day that no Countach was delivered from the factory with white wheels - other colors, but never white - is this correct? Keke's car has white wheels and mirrors, but they do appear to have been *done* at the factory after delivery, as there is a picture of him with his car without them. But I've seen records and mentions of other cars delivered with white wheels - can anyone confirm? Mine now have white wheels but were never delivered with them - I know that. But were any delivered with white wheels? Like the Chicago Car show vehicle?

 

God I love this example. Such a glorious green!

 

A fine "Lamborgreeny"
(My ex-Jarama S was green and the name was coined by a friend.....)

 

I believe Rio Verde Metallizzato is the original color of my '71 Jarama GT. But don't quote me, I forgot what Olivier told me years ago. A beautiful color in person.

Both my Jarama and '72 P-250 Urraco production #4 - pre-production prototype, were both green.
And I usually mix them up on which was which

 

Peter, your Urraco was verde medio
Could you please some pictures of the three roof vents in the Urraco Thread?

 

Thanks and will do.

Does anyone here use a navigation unit like a Garmin or Navman in their Countach? If so how is it mounted? I am looking at various options, but my biggest concern is mounting it where it's usable. Ideally, usable in the Diablo and Jalpa as well.

 

Suction cup mount?

 

Seems likely to be the only option but I wanted to ask. One issue I worry about is the steep rake of the windscreen - some suction cup mounts might end up angling the unit down to much?

 

I wonder if its on there because of the steep rake of the screen? Seems inconvenient if you need to touch it for anything.

 

are the body lines too crisp?
