    It's pretty hard to put a value on something like that. There are so many variables, it's obviously where it is for a reason and might be a worthless pile of worn-out parts. Roll the dice?

    Great shots Joe.

    Now, time for the Joe Sackey Countach Photo Challenge.

    There is a book photo with the caption, "3 doors up Countachs out glamorize, if not out run, the McDonnell Douglas F-15s" (close anyway)

    Do you (or anyone) know the picture? ;)

    Yes, that's an image which features Countachs from the International Lamborghini Owner's Club (ILOC), including those of Messrs Bobnar (red/white) and Johl. The book is authored by Coltrin & Marchet.

    That was pretty fast! Nicely done.

    Great period photos in that book, like Fred Johl "pushing" his car, and all the LP400 S1 stuff.

    Fred told me some great stories. He recounted when he ordered 1121090 in Blu Acapulco from Hubert Hahne. Hubert wanted all the money up front (common practice during the bankruptcy days), and Fred reluctantly agreed, but assured Hubert that if he did not receive his Countach, he would send some friends to visit to fit him with a pair of concrete boots. The car was delivered early.

    The silver exterior/blue interior is sublime.

    Factory Combination or re-do?

    Richard: this is an original car, one of about half-a-dozen Countach I'm aware of made with this livery.

    That's a 100% original car delivered to Bill Loughran in the North East, who mothballed it as a time-warp for decades... its not worth 300k GBP, but, try duplicating it.
