Sorry, but the man is called Giorgio Gamberini and is the After Sales Director. I talked to him last september, he was the man who visited Countach #1120001 in Switzerland after I gave Valentino the tip for this very first production Countach. Unfortunately my bank account was not high enough to buy this car... 1324 was a swiss car from Kanton Zug, the garage sticker was still on the right back end of the car. The picture in the Lambo registry have been taken by Marcel de Lange.
