Interesting difference between the US and the European version. We found this difference quite late. First picture = US version, second picture European or ROW version. A correct convertion from the US version to the European version is a quite demanding job. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

No!! Nobody will be able to bear driving it more than hour with none at all... And totally forget having a woman in it for any amount of time.
We found on more spots surface corrosion on the chassis. If we would not remove all the skin and panels we would never be sure about its real condition. But I agree the refitting of the aluminium skin is a very demanding job. As I orientate only on the quality of the final result and I am not forced to be quick or cheap I took the decision to "undress" the chassis completely. The positive side effect is that we generate this way a lot of unique Countach experience and engineering data that we will use for the next projects.
