I am one of the fortunate few in Australia to have one of each. Just love the 80's supercars. Still waiting for you to come around Rob. Image Unavailable, Please Login
i know thats just the mule, BUT it looks a lot like the murci shape. countach -> diablo -> murcielago....... while all having that wedge shape, looked very different from eachother. this mule looks like another reventon/sv modified murci. im sure it will have more intakes and a different bumper etc... but still looks like a hotted up murci. guess i will have to wait and see.
Not driven alot lately. It's either raining in Melbourne (for a change) Or something else comes up. For Example. It was my sons birthday party on Sunday and I have managment staff in from interstate this Friday. Sometimes I feel like moving them on.
The white Countach is a QV right? Evo just tested all the Countach models and the QV came out as the best to drive.
looks like a 25th anniversary to me. A long way from interesting. The chutney auction house used to run a great scam, they'd always put a second 25th into the auction and "sell" it to the back wall for a huge price. Then the real seller car comes up and the mug punters think they're getting a bargain cos it goes for $50K less. LP400 Periscopa is the one to have. Of course, it costs 3 or 4 times as much.
Nope its an 88 QV (definitely not an anniversary) Although i reckon it has the best of both worlds. Exactly same as a 500-5000-QV except for the side skirts. But the better running gear of the Anniversary (including climate control) Original non electric seats - and no electric windows.
Ahh; but I said best to drive The LP400 is undoubtedly the purist, best looking and most collectible; but the prices for them are nuts. By all accounts they are crap to drive as well. I think the Anniversary is bloody hideous to look at. The design loses everything that makes the original design so great.
drove the model 2 before the 25th anniversary, dealer wanted $180k for it, then came down to $160k, $120k, then some months later I was in testing an alfa and asked the salesman where the Countach was. He said the police seized it as part of the drug related assets of the owner, said I was glad I didn't buy the car, he said it would have gone out the door for $105k and the police would have been happy for me to have it as they only have to sell it on. This was like 8-9 years ago
Countach Not a fun car to drive around the burbs. But what an adrenalin rush on the open road. Makes it all worth while. Always come home with a smile on my face. Not a car for the cafe set.
I don't think it's a QV, but another white Countach in Vic nonetheless... http://aussieexotics.com/drivers/displayimage-17919.html
The number plate gives it away, it's an LP400 S. I think they look fantastic. Makes me stop and stare just as much today as when I first saw one in the flesh in 1977.
