Superb article, just superb.

Any owners of the cars above care to comment?

I've been Countach day dreaming for most of this morning! Very interested to read that it handles beautifully, I was under the impression that it really didn't.

D...do you actually get any work done in amongst car dreaming?

(says the man with about a billion posts!)

Work happily puts me in the position to do so.

Thanks to all of you for some wonderful posts.

Not so long ago (ten years maybe), I would see the odd Countach for sale at circa £40,000.

Prices seems to have moved on a little since then to say the least. What does one expect to pay for a 500/5000S, QV or LP400 these days? Is the maintenance fairly high? I suspect labour is, but parts might not be.

I had a Countach pedalcar as a kid, which I used well into my early teens by sitting on the "boot" instead of the tiny seats (it was meant for a 6 year old I think!) and setting off down a very steep hill on the property! Only way to stop the car was stamping on a pedal which would be going nuts on its own as the car sped down...

If I release my Zagato from the stable, it could only be replaced with another classic - Countach always a possibility!
