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?
Down to the 2 roadsters Paul as been up to other things. Bit soon what something else. I'm holding you to first refusal. I built 3 replicas years ago to look just like yours. I think that's dedication enough. wink

+1 which I saved from 7 years crawling around Monaco

Some pics of my girl. We travelled 3500 miles around Europe in summer 2011 visiting Le Mans, Florence, Factories and Alps. Quite a lot of work for the old girl so she is now having a new clutch fitted.

Can't figure women out sometimes , why settle for one eh ! You did well to hold onto it I think , the low price got me interested but just couldn't stretch the finances at the time . Oh well , one day smile

As for the mobile, every Countach owner should have one! It's a Motorola 3200 the first mobile to take a sim card so it not only works but you can even text on it, oh and it probably fries your brain so don't use it too much!

Haven't seen any apart from the Amari £250k LP500S and the Black Bramley Anniversary for sale lately.

Think originally 14 RHD 1988.5 QV's were delivered to the UK.

Slightly off topic, but could someone explain to me what the differences are between the different models of Countachs? I know the LP400 was the original one and I know the anniversary was the last one and had massive side skirts and bigger body kit (something I must admit I don't like). I always liked the car I've attached bellow i.e. the car with wheel arch extensions and a nice spoiler. Would I be right in saying that these cars are the:
LP400 S
LP500 S
QV

What is the difference between the cars? Is any worth more than the others?

Thanks. Apologies for the silly question but my knowledge on them isn't great.

Hi Guys

This the one from Maidstone. I've now had it 18 years and it just went past 100k Km. Not a daily diver but always ready to drive and regularly used.

I love and can't part with it.
