The countach is a QV "88 and-a-half", apparently so called because it was only available in the last part of 1988. Only 12 or 14 of them (depending on who you talk to rolleyes) made it into the country.
From what I've learned its basically a QV with sideskirts and some parts/suspension settings developed for the following anniversary model. It also benefitted from improved quality control as the factory had finally found strong financial backing.
Going to take her out tomorrow, cos "its my birthday and I wanna enjoy it!"

Thank you guys, this has only really made it harder to decide what kit to buy for wijit junior, but the information will be soaked up the way only a child can do.
He woke up the other night just to talk about his ride. AGAIN!

keep your eye on the Home page of the web site next year - Sporting Bears Motor Club

and the Events Diary page

members will also get info from the quarterly magazine

there's a lot to organising each event and getting confirmed dates and umbrella events confirmed isn’t as straightforward as you’d expect – I remember one year only the NEC show advertised it’s date well ahead only to change it nearer the time and a lot of people missed the actual event

Only just spotted this topic. After having a passenger ride a few years back always wanted to contribute from the other side of things, maybe this is the year i should give it a go!

Sounds great Lee, noticed you are in Devon, I am organising a few events this year for the Bears and would love some support from local enthusiasts if your up for it?
