Makes the 88.5 I saw today in Macaris look cheap at £775k

What a trio!

[Adam.]

£600k for the early rwd Diablo too

[carspath]

I actually meant my next Countach book now that the Lamborghini’s Holy Trinity book has been completed.

It’s brand new, so a display piece.
Trouble is, you can’t actually drive such a thing………….

Yes, looking forward to it.

Kidston’s book will be, I believe, also be a catalogue of all the Countaches like he did with the Miura

Everyone knows that you kick out the windscreen if you roll over.
I understand that Valentino Balboni has actually had to - but probably just myth………

I hope this is allowed here, will remove if not.

Wanted to share we currently have a 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II, NO RESERVE on Sothebys Motorsports

Isn’t there a little hammer in the car also?

Never found that…..

[Adam.]

I am quite possibly mis-remembering, perhaps a different car

more than one article has stated that folks carried hammers
sant'agata supplying one would be a tad litigious !

[Ferruccio]

If you’re upside down, in a Countach, and alive, you’d be laughing to much to find your hammer.

Well....if you have F920 OYR, F924OYR, F925OYR and F928OYR, looks like we need a complete set, so you need:

F919OYR (at Goodwood)
F922OYR (randomly drove past me in Lots Road in London)
F923OYR
....and F926OYR (at Silverstone Historic Festival subsequently wing removed and destroyed I believe)

Sorry to say that F927OYR is a red Jalpa and F921OYR is red, but I can't find it immediately! Well, 9/10 'aint bad.
















MORE PHOTOS PLEASE!!!

Rob,
was F919OYR repainted black?
what about F921OYR? - I wasn't able to identify a car which could fit yet

Is this a follow up to the previous one?

[Its Just Adz]

This just popped up in a local Facebook group, is this car still around?
Blackburn, 1988.

Previous one was Diablo. Hopefully Path will see this and enlighten us. My Amazon order says due for release in August.

He's already done a Countach book, first published in 2021.
