    Are you speaking of the panel fit or the panel seams?

    Anyway although I haven't examined 4846 in person yet and it's hard to deduce from a single picture, both look right to me.

    The market has cooled in the past few months.

    In all fairness the white 1985 FI Countach appeared to be a bit rough.

    The rockers appeared to have been warped or dented and the shifter knob was very deteriorated.
    Even the simple fixes like fixing the hanging brake cable was left undone.

    I thought $470,000 dollars was all the money for the car.

    Agreed based on your description. Also the 2 valve /fi conversion combo is not my cup of tea. I will say this reg the 2 Anni cars, (again i have not seen either) the Pearl white/ white int combo car appeals to me more so than the blue interior car, i do understand the latter had extremely low miles, but the 9k miles on the other would not bother me, beeing it did not sell, i am curious to why. the car will probably go back to Naples, poss drive down and check it out. Really do not understand the big price difference between the 2 cars. My humble oppinion.

    The anniversary Countach that sold for $715,000.00 had delivery miles on it.
    160 km / 100 miles. It appeared to be a time capsule car.

    People pay silly money for delivery miles cars, the other 25th that high bid $550k is more representative of the overall market.

    One of mine as well, unique colors make the Countach extra special, it won 1st place in the Countach Class at Pebble Beach (whatever that's worth) and we're proud of our association with it in bringing it to the USA.

    Speaking of special colors, here's the Paris Salon LP400 which was originally Marrone https://www.artcurial.com/fr/lot-1975-lamborghini-countach-lp400-4315-85 the estimate is 800,000 to 1,300 Euros.

    Another great picture from the ILOC meeting in Luxembourg 1988. This is VIN 1121334, a Countach LP400 S Series 3. Original Blue Metallizzatto with a Bianco interior, delivered to Lambor S.A. In Switzerland on 23 May 1981. It is said that this car was exported to Japan in 2002. More pictures can be seen at the ultimate Countach website www.countach-register.com , where nearly all 2000 Countachs built can be seen! Please check it out! Ciao! Marcello

    Yeah, took me years to identify this swiss car, it was always registred in Solothurn with export plates - good connection of Bobnar to the authorities.

    I would love a Junior, but as it's hard top version, not much use unless you're under 3 foot. The open top version is the one to have as you can still use it as an adult.
