Looks like the seed has been sown ,just a case of not if but when,
Have used Emblem ,they are not to far away from me,lovely bunch of guys,
bend over backwards to help,even if they are not taking money from you .
I was there earlier this morning to collect the countach and the F40 came in after a test drive. Amazing to see in the flesh and to see the bonnet open. The owner has had it for 20 years apparently and uses it regularly which is great to know. The next time you are at Emblem you will have to drop in for a coffee as I'm only up the road from them.

Nice thought, thank you
I am genuinely curious Fessia .
Why do you think that your post might in any way be helpful in informing anyone about the real world capabilities of a Countach ?
Of course a running Countach can make it through town to a trading estate - almost any functioning vehicle will be able to do that .
The real question must surely be whether you exploited the car’s potential to thrill ( beit through its exhaust music , its ever smoother gear engagement as the engine revs increase , or all the other lovely sensations that a Countach can provide only/particularly at high engine speeds ) by driving through midday traffic to get to Homebase .
The fact that you climbed past a hedge to take a photograph which gave more prominence to a Homebase sign than to the Countach suggests that you were more interested in generating a sensational reaction on PH than in talking about the car .
I only bring up this point because , while many will applaud at the immense bravery and sheer audacity of taking a Countach shopping , the post really tells us nothing about the Countach .
What would tell us something about the Countach would be if you were to set the alarm clock for 5.00 AM tomorrow and tell us how the car performed on dry , empty roads .
The weather forecast is good for tomorrow so I , and probably many other PH’ers , look forward to reading a proper report on the real world capabilities of a Countach .
I am already looking forward to breakfast time tomorrow

Hello Carspath
Thank you for your reply. It was intended as an ironic / tongue in cheek post for amusement although perhaps it did not hit the bullseye.
I will be in Stockholm tomorrow morning so unable to drive my car but I have managed about 1000km this year so far and 99.5% or more of that didn’t trouble the DIY sector.
Best wishes
