    Hah! Great catch. It was early so they were still sorting out parking locations and proper placards.

    "The class was won by the 1981 Countach LP 400 S, chassis #1121316, owned by Robert Bishop of Florida, USA, one of the only 82 units built of the third series. Second place went to the Countach LP 400 “Periscopio” of 1976, chassis #1120192, today owned by Mouse Motor of Illinois, USA, one of the only 152 “Periscopio” units produced and today still in its totally original condition and with its initial yellow paintwork. The third-place title went to the 1985 Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole, chassis #ZA95005AOFLA12820, today owned by US collector Jeffrey Ajiuni of Washington, DC, featuring a Rosso Siviglia (red) exterior, Champagne interior and Testa di Moro (brown) dashboard."

    To a degree, that will remain a mystery. Judges make both technical and subjective conclusions, some of which the entrants will never really know. I may not always agree with the conclusions, but I respect that they have a thankless job that's un-paid and they do it strictly for the love and passion for cars. Regardless, all the cars in the class were exceptional, so I consider it an honor to be one of the finalists.

    Yea, they reversed me with Dennis Garity slot as he was way back in the line when the procession started, so i think they did not want to complicate the positioning.

    @Texas Forever The winner was this 1981 Countach LP 400 S, chassis #1121316 as @Rossocorsa1 mentioned. The glaring difference between all of these beautiful examples was that the winner had the iconic wing. You can argue about the merits of the wing, but to me this said something about how most of us that grew up with the Countach as the iconic supercar was marketed with the wing and not without ( just remember all those posters). As beautiful of a design as the Countach is sans wing and they were on full display there, it looks naked without the wing. Apparently "Mr. Lamborghini" himself agreed, that is Mr. Balboni in the picture judging the winner.

    To be clear, I highly doubt that the LP400S won because of the wing. As with all the cars in the class, it was exceptional. Given the remarkable scrutiny at Pebble Beach, I’m sure there were other factors involved. While I also love the wing, I’m a total purist. My car never had a wing, therefore my restoration didn’t include one. The focus of my restoration was to refurbish and replenish every original component on my car, or replace it with a NOS part. Every detail down to the washer and screws was done to exacting factory specifications. All the cars represented were very special. I was honored to be amongst them.

    Just as an observer the first Lamborghini factory yellow show car had no wing. The first production car was darker green with no wing yet the wing version with it's fender flares seems to have a universal appeal when looking back in time. Perhaps Walter Wolf with his special build Lamborghini Countach models gave Lamborghini the push to create more sporty versions with spoilers, wings and fender flares to contain bigger tires. It seems the wing still looms large today.

    Is there a chance any XX Programme cars will be on display at the Concours this year for Ferrari’s 75th Anniversary?
