Not sure if I would like to have a countach with the front spoiler or not. Not really keen on it but I do like the rarity of it.

This is the one that was on my wall when I was a kid. My father brought it home for me.



That and the Countach poster are such period pieces for so many of us.

Flames and a glimpse of Walter Wolf's factory built special LP400 that the S cars were then based on. I don't understand what they are saying, but I believe they are fuhnny guys.

Look at the green one up there^^^

The Periscope roof was a trademark of the LP400 cars to make the rear view mirror more usefull. The gearbox whine really is that loud.
