Countach

[thegreenhell]

I haven't watched this yet, but it looks like some good Countach content. Make a cuppa first though, it's over 78 minutes long...

No need to tell me, I posted it on my Instagram feed and got over 20,000 likes for it!

Is the ViN correct or a guess?

I found it in Marcels registry after posting and added the vin later.

Do you know this one in Cyprus? reg. KSP484 is not mentioned anywhere

It is an educated guess by Marcel. Yea these are all known cars.

In Marcel's registry the mentioned plates are not linked to the cars, perhaps you can give him the missing links.

Great documentary, well worth watching with a nice history of the Cannonball

Yeah, I had no idea that front "wing" was actually a bumper!

Great doco, watched it last night and although I'd heard a lot of the story it was great to get it told all in one story. The car looks great these days all restored.

Great video, iconic car, loved the movie as a kid

Sorry but I hate all the stupid additions and would be a bit embarrassed to drive it like that for fear someone don’t make the link and thought I had modified it that way.

Box up the ugly exhaust and ridiculous nose spoiler and aerials, stick them back on when you sell I guess

I'm guessing if you don't like the pipes and wing, you'd be better off not paying over the odds for the Cannonball Countach!
My short attention span is struggling with length of that doc, but will try to watch it soon.

I've watched the first 30 minutes and they were excellent. Will tune in tomorrow for another instalment!

I have watched the film hundreds of times but it wasn't until the photos of the restored car came out that I knew about the exhaust. I could live with the lights, wings and aerials because to me they were always part of the look of the Cannonball Countach, but those exhausts! What were they thinking?!

Same here - Great stories, properly detailed and well told

And for similar reasons, I recommend the one about the history of John DeLorean, the MC-12, and the ones used in Back to the Future

Harry's engine removal video up today. Absolutely amazing what a big lump that engine and gearbox is and how it fits into such a svelte car. I saw one out of a car years ago at Mike's place but still absolutely incredible.

Yes, it's quite the process.

I like the bit at the start where Iain Tyrell and Harry were at great pains to avoid leaning on the fragile read quarters for fear of bending/cracking them, and then later when the engine was being lifted out some great big lummox* was putting pretty much his full weight on it

*A joke, I'm sure he's a highly skilled mechanic and knew exactly what he was doing.

Sort of nearly on topic but it got easier recently to get hold of a Countach
