Is that not the Amari one ?

Remember a yellow 5000s down Essex way for sale last year = 16

And Rogers Grey Anniversary that went under the hammer , presume it's still in UK = 17

There's a red QV in the Maidstone area, I think the owner might be on here.

Has OrangeLP400's car been counted?

Also, there was a blue LP400 in the London area some years ago, used to turn up at the Goodwood and Castle Coombe track days, anyone know if it's still around?

Has Mike Pullen still got his LP400S..?

As for the LP400 there is the well known, more blood orange one also RHD in London that has not been seen for many years but is being re-commissioned and appeared in a number of books and mags in the 80s and 90s , mine, and a blue one that has been out and about and was at Goodwood perhaps 3 years ago and then there is a yellow one also London based. So i think 4 but there may be another one tucked away.

I spoke to Harry of EVO last year. he said there were only about 15 QV's left in the UK. He had got someone to check that for him.

There were about 200 in the Uk at the peak. Usually was about 10% of production for the old cars.

I think there are about 55 in total left. You can check the data bases to see how many are MOT'd per annum but many people don't use them! I know of about 20 owners in the UK

Remember there was about 610 QV including about 140 88.5 and about 670 anniversary. There are about 5 in Scotland

Sadly many have shipped over to Australia Malaysia Japan etc in the past 4 years.


Still drive mine quite a bit and leave it parked about Glasgow. It's the one usually outside Tinderbox coffee shop in the Wst end on a sunday! Carlo still has his and no it didi not belong to Rod Stewart!

Well pete if I was you are still first refusal!

It is tempting as I have too many cars and struggling a bit to afford to keep them all the way they should be kept!

Just such a nice old car to drive!

How is your fleet?

Most of these are from 4/5 years ago now, but some of them may still be about, I don't really know much about the Countach community.

OP Top one you posted is my beastie at Donnington park meet

heres another shot or 3
i think Harry Metcalfe worked out there were around 14 in UK but I could be wrong

A PHer owns this one too I think. I recall it being for sale in the classifieds. Absolutely stunning in this colour IMO.

Hi

I spoke to Harry about this. He was referring ONLY to QV's which represent 610 approx of 2000 approx of all types built.
