    What do you mean? I think it was supposed to go up the block for the Retromobile Paris auction in 2023, but was not yet ready from restoration (returning it back to semi-original). Was offered in a later auction but did not fetch a whole great amount. It is a bit of a storied car, with multiple LHD/RHD-swapping and of course the Mardikian style targa with which it became famous now discarded.

    Basically this "Restoration" destroyed the entire history and was even not executed properly.

    If I was shopping for an LP400, this example would not be in my top 100 of candidates

    Does anyone have any photos of the row of 15 Countachs at the UK Lamborghini Owners Club meeting at Syon Park in 1988 please?

    (it’s the same year that there was a row of 8 Miuras parked together)

    Many thanks

    Injected? US side marker lights? Nice looking, but not a “perfect” example.

    This Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series 2 will be auctioned by Artcurial during at Retromobile Paris, 8 February 2025. A nice original low body, with some USA history, although it spent most of it’s life in France. Au revoir..je m'appelle Marcel

    Thanks for the picture Marcel and hope the Registry will go ahead. This car is an absolute "oeuvre d art" (art works) .

    Was browsing some old issues of duPont Registry...

    Enjoy the pricing ratio between these two cars and how very different things would be today!

    I thought the LP400 sold in Paris was very reasonable at 820625 Euro I suppose plus costs. Chassis 1120142. The car does look good in silver methinks. This site seems to be a little quiet. What has happened to Joe Sacky as I miss his posts?

    No tire tracks in the snow as well as other questionable things. Thinking not real

    Very clever and well done renders - but renders nonetheless.

    Must say, it is surprising how different an Anniversario looks with the wheels smoothed off to almost resemble the earlier OZ/Campagnolo versions.

  22. On the iPhone it looked pretty convincing. Still pretty neat.
