Default Clarkson reviewing early Lambo Countach LP400?
Here's an image from the review in question:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-9/1217262/252.jpg

Can anyone tell me where this is from, early Top Gear or one of Clarkson's specials?

TIA

Oh, but it can, and it is. That's a '74-'77 LP400 Countach. That's what all Countaches looked like for the first 4 model years of the car.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-9/1217262/20030609-6.jpg

It wasn't until 1978 and the influence of F1 racing team owner Walter Wolf that the LP400 Countach became the LP400S and sprouted the wheel arch flares and wing that came to define the car in the late 70's into the 80's.

That's the Mach 5 the Wachowski brothers are using in their upcoming feature film adaptation of the iconic anime series Speed Racer...

Got a thread about it over in General Automotive.

wow, did you know that off the top of your head or did you look it up? I just looked it up, and you're right. I only recently watched "Car Years", and I didn't remember that bit at all...

Umm...I might be wrong but I think this is the Concept Countach from 71-72 not an actual production Countach. Original LP400 looked almost the same but not entirely.
