Help in finding out about my Countach service history
Discussion
Hi all,
I own a Countach Anniversary, Regn H134FLD. Whilst I have owned it since the end of 1997 and have had it serviced etc. unfortunately the original log book was misplaced whilst at a dealer during a service. I have obtained a duplicate book and this has been sent to a few of the garages that I have used to help 'rebuild' the record. If anyone knows of this Lambo before 1997 (i.e between 1990 and 1997) that serviced it, please could you let me know so that I may approach the garage/ dealer to see if they have any record!
I enclose a photo to help jog anyone's memories. It's a dark green colour with green and burgundy interior. Many thanks for any help

It's not the one to the left of my car whilst it was at Emblem a while ago is it??? I cant focus on the number plate too well, but looks similar.

Hi, yes it is...... Emblem say they will finish the car hopefully today. Its had a major service, under-seal treatment, general "beauty" treatment as well as 4 wheels refurbished....Will need to talk to the bank manager me thinks haha.
I doubt you could have taken it to a better place for the work, you should be confident that it will be taken care of!

Roger, I don't know how many cars were made in that colour scheme, but I have some photos of an identical car (albeit less the rear wing) that I took at Goodwood in the early '90s. At the time it was registered H10LAM. Not yours by any chance?

... yep, that was Ken's car - he's not a member of LCUK these days but then, neither am I now.
I thought this Anniversary had vanished and I recall he brought this car to the first LCUK meeting I ever attended. At that meeting he took another new (female) member for a drive and said the colour was meant to be a Bentley Brewster green. The wheel nuts were gold plated at that time as well ...
Ken had an original spec. Diablo in gunmetal after this Anniversary and then a Ferrari 550 (or something like that?) after that before another Diablo / SE30 - he's almost certainly retired these days.

Oh wow! Looking at the photos I would say it is my one! I was told that the colour scheme is unique in that the first owner had a Bentley and he wanted his Countach to match it, hence the colour and the leather (Connolly leather) were sent from Bentley to Lambo to use, consequently the car whilst ordered in 1989 was put to near the end of the production in 1990 and then made. Well, thats what they told me when they sold it to me! Still, many many thanks for that!!

Yes, the wheel nuts were gold coloured. I just had the wheels refurbished but couldn't source gold wheel nuts, so unfortunately they are now silver. Still, once I have figured out where to get the gold nuts, will change them!
