Naturally, everybodies opinion is correct and true, when it is just an opinion. The nature of the Countach line is that they are all going to go up in value eventually. What many don't realize, I think, when making a prediction of values and depreciation, is that guys like me -35 years old, grew up with the Countach and more specifically the Anniversary. It was THE car of the time, hense the sales numbers compared to others. Now that people in that age group are becoming more established, I believe they will search out the cars that impacted them way back when. The car I just purchased is a DD Anniversary, which makes my 84 Carbed car look like a toy. Gallardo, Murcie - destined to drop. Countach, not a chance. Not globally anyway, but perhaps because of the U.S economy, all Countach, Miura's and early Diablos may be affected. I doubt it though, because the wealthy are often not nearly as affected in these times.
