RE: Re:400GT 2+2 Factory Restoration #1324

Well, I seem to have embarassed myself with my very first post! Of course, Giorgio"s name is Gamberini (I am looking at his card in my Rolodex as I write this, on which he is titled After Sales Manager). My memory for names is atrocious. By the way, if the Countach to which you"re referring is green, I have attached a nice picture I took of it during my last visit to the factory. Gamberini told me it was one of the first production cars. A storm was approaching and I had about 30 seconds to snap it from an open window above the courtyard.
