Very nice, but why on earth would anyone want a green Countach. It's hideous. Terrible cars anyway I'll take the Stutz and a chauffer (and some Grey Poupon)

Well Kev, local legend has it that the extremely wealthy Mr. Forbes, when asked about the color said "I want the car to be the color of money" hence, green and gold!

Which just proves my theory that very wealthy people have the worst taste. There are a couple of Bentley and Ferrari in London that have been completely wrapped in shiny gold vinyl. They look ghastly.
