R.I.P. Marcello.
Legend. RIP.
I do not care about any of its shortcomings - his original 1974 LP400 Countach makes my happysacs tingle like no other car ever has, nor ever will, and deserved its place next to Farrah Fawcett on my teenaged bedroom wall! ...aaand that's just one of his amazing designs from back in the day when dreams of uncompromising beauty still had a place in car design...
Arrivederci Marcello, and RIP!

Sorry to hear. Never had a big interest in sports cars but I did have a little Corgi Miura, 50-odd years ago.
RIP :apologetic:
RIP Marcello. Loved the Countach as a kid.
Ooof, that’s a beautiful thing.Quote:

RIP Marcello
I quoted up two Pirelli tyres for the rear of a Countach about fifteen / twenty years ago. I remember they were £1001 each plus VAT to me. Always thought the extra £1 was a little mean.
I worked with a guy back in the day who was such a massive fan he named his son after him.
The guy ‘Psy’s stag do was epic with him being carried back to base, passed out, covered in black paint on a purloined ice cream sign.
RIP
Very sad news, RIP
