From: Northants. 22B sold, as-new Lotus Omega instead.
Personally those Anniversary run-out models were my least favourite design, but I have to say that looks a really nice car condition-wise and they are actually amongst the most valuable ones (always plenty for sale though). That price is actually quite cheap these days too. It will be gone by Monday, so good spot Trout.
Sell your Beetle-based Sports thingy and get yourself a proper supercar!

Most half-decent modern cars would too, but they'll never get half as much attention as that monster!
They're appreciating nicely too.

If I had a spare £64k I'd have that.
In fact, I'd have that over any Porsche.

£64k for a Countach with a bodykit?
The early wingless ones are quite pretty but as much as I adored them when I was a child I would never want to own one.

Nope - Miura is about 10x prettier.
I'd rather have a decent 993.

I remember a review on the countach by James May, it began by him saying it was the car he always longed for as a young boy, i believe it ended in disappointment once he drove it though.

They never look the same without an airbrushed Amazonian woman with huge ***** stood in front of it clutching a massive sword.
I think they are like many 80's icons, best as a memory of something you lusted after.

It does sound wild - although I saw one of these years ago outside Harrods and it sounded like a broken bag of spanners!
