You can either use the mirrors, or do as Valentino did, just sit your butt on the door sill and operate the pedals from that position.
It is not only easy, it gives you a perfect "overview" of the area behind you.

Besides, when the crowds gather to watch you move the car,( and trust me they do), it just adds to the mystique of Countach to reverse your car using this method.
Although I am just a grease monkey and do not own a lambo or a ferrari I do admit that of all the cars ranging from f40s 288 gtos and 430s the countach does get a lot more looks. Backing a countach sitting on the sill is the only way to safely do it and is almost as much of an art as the car its self.
