Countach, the ultimate supercar

Fantastic pictures, thanks.

 

In a way; Countach form in that era indicates car being "out of space", car is ment to look like "modern car" made by in some odd laboratory -style factory, but in reality, most people in that era had no idea how these cars where made and how people see mass produced cars made today, even sportscars, anything else but hand crafted individual cars.
everytime you see these period factory photos it is just amazing.

 

Joe. Tks for posting these old factory images. These explains well why a murcielago or aventador won't ever be considered an hand nade item like a Countach or miura. They are so much better cars and products, but very different. Ferrari and Lamborghini p.r. will stres the point of the "handcrafted" cars while showing people making leather seats cover by hand on f12 and aventadors ...you can see it and decide by yourself what is the reality.
These vintage Lamborghinis were made almost 100% at factory and by hand. Lamborghini way of building cars was already old fashion at the time but is one of the reasons these cars are so special today. This looks like a 1950 way of making cars... it is even more "fun" thinking they were making some of the most fast and advanced road cars of the period
One interesting thing is that even in the 90 's during Diablo time things were still made in a much similar old school way. Even if company was part of chrysler group all looked more or less like in the 80's.
Please note i am NOT talking about values...i keep my opinion on current excalation in prices out of this great thread. I am just speacking of the factory now and then and cars building

I disagree. Not now, not yet. Completely the wrong time.

 

Stunning pictures...Truely another time no that long ago. The 70s and 80s were awsome times..

As for the guy bringing the door between 9 to 1, that was meant to be between 9 PM and 1AM..lol. (9AM to 12PM is expresso time at the terrace getting the pulse of the nieghborhood and 12PM is nap time).

 

OK I give up and nobody else is guessing, who is the VIP customer and his lady friend?

Also I love all of the factory photos that you have just posted Joe. Thanks Vic
