    FR-65750 is #1121420, the hide is black, not blue, the colours are to bright because of the Flash.
    In other Pictures you can see it's black. Currently the car is in France repainted Red.

    Good to know, Johanes visited us in the States @ 20 years ago and shared some funny stories of ELA12732 from a time when he sent it to the factory for some work, meanwhile I believe you know he was the record holder for the famed Cresta Run for a period

    Very cool, images of Supercars in the snow are very popular these days

    Got it, so 1444 was Argento/Blu, 1420 sure looks like it has blue interior to me but I'll stand corrected.

    Meanwhile here is another Argento/Blu car, this one a RHD LP400S S2 or S3, based in South Africa

    I just checked, you are right, black leather.

    That said, with the South Africa car, Spanish car, Swiss car and the USA car, we know they used the livery at least 4 times.

    Are there any more?

    Can't remember if I posted about this or not, but I finally drove my dream car!

    A great and lovely owner invited me over to ride in his Countach and then let me drive it for hours. Then went over for a second day hang out too! Drove it at speeds, suburban areas, and the dreaded congested bumper to bumper tunnel traffic! So I have experienced pretty much everything and man was it fun or what!

    Some time ago I mentioned a red/white Countach I noticed in Duesseldorf, Germany, in 1984.
    Now I found photos of the car I took when it was parked on a parking lot.
    Duesseldorf then and now is a hot spot for exotic cars (some years ago 2,000 Ferrari were registered in a 70 miles circle, amongst them a 250 GTO...).
    I remember that the owner of this car told me that he had bought it new via the Hubert Hahne dealership in Duesseldorf, located at the Corneliusstrasse.
    Don`t ask me about the VIN of this car - I don`t know!

    Well, I guess you will never have a problem getting in and out of these car flexing like that!

    Congratulations! Now you are well & truly hooked.

    I recall this car from when it lived in the UK, it was delivered in a one-off Peach color and the owner maintained it Emblem Sportscars in Dorset, I remember it mostly because of its unusual (for LP500S) & superb Tobacco interior which appears to still be in good condition

    Great images Walter! Thank you for sharing

    Thanks for confirming this

    So the car was later modified, getting this "wings" on the sills? I liked the car more without....

    I believe so, although the red example appears to be sporting an earlier rear wing with no end plates.

    Haha, I practiced YEARS for this moment ;) The arm strength is for the lack of power steering too.


    Haha Thanks! Yeah the owner was really close to the previous owner and told me about the Peach colour, any images of what that looked like? I am very Curious, also on the dash is Balboni's sig (which is on everything now haha)
