Oddball Items on Old Lambos

Hi Group, I have wondered for many years if anyone else had some of the peculiarities I have on my car. For one thing, my car came from the factory with a little clock mounted right in the center of the dash. I never paid much attention to it and whenever I went on a meet, I would wind it and it worked for almost a week. It is a good well-known name (Heuer Master Time) and has a tachymeter front face. Last August, one of the club members, Noah Mackenroth, noticed the clock and gave me an eye-opening bit of information. Noah is a master watchmaker and he noted that these time pieces are very rare. He estimates the value of the clock at several thousand dollars! He had only seen one other in a Countach that was at Burtoni"s once. The other odd thing is my front end. I have a "brush beater" that seem to bes a factory item. In the Registry, threre are a couple of 400"s that look like they have one mounted. And my grill has no horizontal bars installed. A careful examination of the grill assembly tells me there were never any installed. So the question: Does anybody else have a similar clock and/or front end? Or has anyone seen similar configurations? I am always fascinated by the uniqueness of the older Lambos. Best Regards, Jack [This message contained attachments]
