Coastr Posted 21June, 2019 Report Share Posted 21June, 2019 Honestly I think the no-wing countach movement is misdirected like the no-tail 911 movement. Wings define the era! OBRUT, Dalai, Dreamr and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we put XWXs on the 308 GTB in that first year of Targa Tas - original fitment tyres we though would be best suited, and they proved to be very well suited to my less than expert driving. They'd let you know when their limit was approaching.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto my old 308 with its original 390mm metric wheels. The TRX was the only tyre for that car, and it drove really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3legs Posted 22June, 2019 Report Share Posted 22June, 2019 You planning on doing some burnouts. I notice you have 2 sets 😀😀😀 I sat in a Countach once.........................once. That was back in the early 80's and even then it was hard to get in and out with my much younger body. Be stuffed if I could do it now 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADS911 Posted 22June, 2019 Report Share Posted 22June, 2019 Congratulations, stunning piece of machinery and absolute work of art. Ive had the pleasure of riding shotgun in that car and have it overtake me while on two wheels. Well cherished by previous owner for many many years, irreplaceable vehicle. 👍 OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 14July, 2019 Report Share Posted 14July, 2019 You could sit a Countach next to a 250GTO and I think the Lambo would still draw more attention. I hope you enjoy it for the rest of us OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 28July, 2019 Report Share Posted 28July, 2019 I'm another tragic that had these all over the wall as a kid. Stunning. Saw one at Brent's in Oakleigh in the mid 80s. Mum used to drop in if we were ever in the area. My brother and I sat in a red LP400 no wing, it was parked on Princes Hwy nature strip and the dealer was happy for us to play with scissor doors and flip the headlights. We were awe of this Italian stallion in little old Melbourne. I was 13-14 but whatever the price I should have bought it 😂 The other car that stuck in my head that day was a Monteverdi, research shows only 30 built which explains why I've never seen or heard on them since https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/es19/essen/lots/r0119-1970-monteverdi-3754-sedan/746959 Arnage, OBRUT and GTP911 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
