I'm proud to say shes my steed and with every passing day my affection grows stronger they are simply unique and completely daft in every sense of the word

and yes she is a little bit noisier than the average bear boo boo

Does anyone know how many UK RHD Countachs were imported?

LP400 - 6 UK RHD cars pretty sure but lots more RHD elsewhere in the world
LP400S (S1 and S2) - at least 6...any ideas?
LP500s/5000s must be about 20 cars...any ideas?
QV non-side skirted - at least 25 cars imported....any ideas?
QV 1988 side skirted - at least 16 UK RHD cars
Anniversary - 67 UK RHD cars seems to be the widely quoted number

It's such an amazing car, but no one seems to have any record of how many were made and where are they all?
We are working on it here: www.countach-register.com
A lot of UK cars can already be found here, thanks Robert for your great help!
Ciao! Marcel

No sorry, that's all I know..Perhaps it rings a bell with Derek or one of the other older experts from the good old days in the UK.
Cheers, Marcel

A bit more digging into old emails, and yes, my car went to Jeddah on first delivery.

The engine numbers on the 400s are still a bit of a mystery. You may be aware.
They don’t match to chassis, although there are stamps of chassis numbers elsewhere on engine.
At first the engine numbers decreased with each chassis (a bit randomly..) on early cars, and then at some point, still to be identified they started going up again.

These are the numbers that were identified 10+ years ago on Lambo chat

Chassis 1121034=1120388 Engine
1121036=1120354
1121038=1120348

....then engine numbering increased at some point before climbing by 1 for each subsequent chassis eg:

1121094=1120398
1121100=1120404
1121116=1120420
Chassis 1121154=1120458 (my car)
