I last saw this car in 2005

As far as I could see, all it had 'wrong' was slightly thick paint and a missing boot carpet... but then Acapulco blue isn't to everyones taste and the interior of this car isn't that appealing either - but then, if we all had the same taste we'd eat nothing but Weetabix for every meal (like my pending supper this evening!)

shoot me down all you Anniversary dislikers (note not "haters" - how could anybody hate any Countach?) BUT, I think this cars easily worth the money...

heading for cover, sleep well folks!

Is it possible to remove those horrible skirts etc, and make it look like a QV

[rubystone]

Car was originally sold by a dealer up north for £55k. They had it up at £45k but as soon as I and others enquired about it, they raised the price by £10k. The current owner bought it for £55k for his girlfriend who didn't like it (she had owned a Diablo previously). He spent about £2k on the car as soon as he bought it (rear tyres and????) and since then has tried to sell it. It previously belonged to a guy named Aubrey who owned it for several years and chpped it in withthat dealer for a Merc SL (IIRC). This dealer has sold the same car several times. Some of its service history is with a specialist (?) in the Oldham area IIRC.

The colour combination put me off it initially...the price hike was the final nail in the coffin. I don't think there's anything "iffy" with the car though. The current owner is clearly a genuine guy and is a friend of a regular poster on this board.

you need to remove far more than the skirts to do that!

the 5 star car was a one off colour and i think the last registered countach in the country carlo from top gear cars had it for sale
