Countach

[Martin350]

I can't do photoshops but I have wondered what it would look like in yellow, as per the LP500 Prototype.

Some nice footage of a real Countach here. Lord Brocket of Ferraris buried in the garden fame pops up too

Thank you!

I'm still not convinced, but yeah, that looks much better!

They all look like a very beautiful woman who’s had too much plastic surgery to try and recapture her youth.

The wheel arches look so wrong in that side profile picture!

That's quite a pretty looking car

If only it had been this render.

Saying that reminded me of some of my old girlfriends from the distant past ,

Just to say I've bought and read the new Countach book.

https://www.evropublishing.com/products/lamborghin...

Found it very comprehensive, and well researched, and I liked the fact it was written by long-term owners.

I'd recommend it if you are interested in the cars.

I have no affiliation.

Fessa fancier - Thank you for your kind comments - it makes us happy .

We estimate that the book took us over 1200 hours to write - once travel time to interview contributors is taken into account ...... so about the same sort of time as it took Sant' Agata to construct a Countach in period .
Planning for the book started almost exactly 20 years ago - on 26 / 5 / 2001 when we acquired temporary custodianship of Chassis 12399 direct from its first owner via Lamborghini London .

Pistonheads contributors and contributors from the American forums were hugely helpful , and we have taken care to name every contributor in the Acknowledgements Page( except for some of the most important contributors who asked for anonymity - a request that we have , and will , absolutely respect )
We had contributors from 6 continents , including Valentino Balboni , Giampaolo Dallara , Umberto Marchesi and Tonino Lamborghini , but sadly the factory cat eluded us .
Meeting these Countach midwives was the highlight of our research trips .

Thank-you once again Fessa fancier and Best wishes

Ooh hadn’t realised it was out, will order one.

Loved the Murcie book. Struggled with the x-now book. It appreciated the detail.

I received my copy of the book today. I haven't had time for more than a quick flick through the pages, but first impressions are very positive. It looks like a thorough and well produced work.

Just ordered a copy

Great book. The attention to detail and clear passion for the car comes through on every page.

This looks interesting.

Are we led to believe that the fabled LP500 prototype was not destroyed in testing and Lambo have access to the wreck and will return it to it's former glory? That would be an amazing well kept secret. But I suspect a recreation is coming.

Lets hope they don't screw that up!

[Dinoboy]

Amazing what can be done.

Wonky 50p coin

Historics at Brooklands have an interesting Countach project coming up in their 23rd Sept auction.
