OBRUT Posted 20June, 2019 Report Share Posted 20June, 2019 The lovely Golden 308 is gone and another Italian has taken it’s place. Insanity in car form. StevepGT3, NevB, micknine01 and 20 others 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 20June, 2019 Report Share Posted 20June, 2019 Classic! I won't ask how it drives, however it's worth owning just to look at. JV911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakroo Posted 20June, 2019 Report Share Posted 20June, 2019 OMG that is indeed insane Ryan. I take back all my comments about you being a man of poor taste (ref: you not liking yellow) as this has made me realise how hasty I have been! (still it could change again on your next purchase 🙂 ) OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick V Posted 20June, 2019 Report Share Posted 20June, 2019 Wow!! I spent a good portion of my adolescence in my bedroom staring at my poster of a black countach (had nothing to do with the naked babe draped over the bonnet!). Awesome looking car. Congrats. Keen to hear your thoughts on the drive in due course. ps was salivating over the gold 308 @ CTS only a couple of days ago, but looks like it sold in a heartbeat!!

BTW this whole thread is awesome. I didn't get the music reference...you should have gone with the theme from cannonball run I reckon.... bear924, SteveF, Scott930 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepo Posted 21June, 2019 Report Share Posted 21June, 2019 An exceptional looking car, you're a very lucky man I expect have worked hard to get such a jewel. IMO, you left the best part of that car out of your video...………..the wonderful rear end with big wing and big rubber OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9r Posted 21June, 2019 Report Share Posted 21June, 2019 Awesome, I remember when the original LP400 came out which looked amazing and then they just kept upping the ante on the wow scale... those rear tyres and wing!

Went straight over the top of my head for sure! Simply stunning car. Looking forward to hearing it running and then your views of the car. As I too have been in awe of the Countach from childhood and would love to hear from your first hand experience. OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the wing is probably more suited to a small plane, but if it was my car ( I wish🤩), I’d be keeping it for sure, so appropriate for the era. I understand you could argue removing might show better lines, but to me, the wing sits so nicely in the well proportioned business rear end......poetry in motion 👍 OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
