Hey, in that last photo, of the man driving, I think the speedo is broke. The Tach is up, and I guess that's still 1st gear (does the right hand drive have same shift pattern??), so either he's moving, with a broke speedo, or he's just sitting still revving the engine.
But parts breaking are another Countach legacy. They weren't reliable at all. I had an 84 model a few years back, and would have to clean the carbs before every drive. I'd plan drives around whether or not it would be a good day for the car.
But I loved it. Love Love Loved it. And hey, what car built in 1984 wouldn't have some issues today?

The Countach may not have been the best for daily driving, but it sure had the killer looks! It had everything that didn't help they aerodynamics but we just didn't care - the pop-up headlights, the huge rear spoiler, and the widened wheel wells on the later models.
Plus, it's the only car I can think of where white would be my first choice.
