    Nothing on 4 wheels that is running on this planet can match the looks and the drama of the LP 400! Not even this...ehh...something called Reventon!

    When it's done?? NO WAY. Please take pics and put up a thread about the restoration Roy!

    My favorite part of the Countach Reunion thread were the in-progress pics of the "sympathetic restoration" on Joe's Black LP400... ok, that and the saga of LP400S #036...

    Obviously that car ran too lean, too hot plug or too advanced timing, nothing to do with the rpm's per se.

    I've read somewhere that the green #1 is running again, can anybody confirm?
    IME the green one can be left like it is, it's 35 years old and is allowed to keep it's patina.

    It was running too lean with other issues too... but rpms were high when it happened. How high?

    When it's running lean it doesn't need that much rpm to melt the piston...

    Offers in the region of $450,000 will be considered. A rare opportunity to purchase:

    - One of the lowest-mileage LP400 that remains in existence.
    - An unrestored car that remains in beautiful original condition (even the Running-In sticker remains in the windscreen).
    - A car completed to one-off specification by the works specifically for supply to the New York dealer for the New York Auto Show.
