Default Anniversary Countach changes

Hi,

I am looking for a list of the changes made to the anniversary edition countach. Other than the few obvious ones to the body, interior and wheels. I understand that over 500 changes were made, is there a list of these changes somewhere?
I'd like to see this so I can decide if I am willing to except the looks of the anniversary because of all of the other upgrades. But without knowing what all of these are, I can only really decide based on looks, which is hands down the non-anniversary QV.

Were any anniversary's carbed? Or are they all fuel injected?

Thanks guys. Still trying to learn before I buy.

Some of the changes are cosmetic such as different wheels, and air intakes on the exterior. On the interior different seats(power), power windows. climate control system from 88? on vs. manual controls.I believe the suspension geometry may be different but I can not confirm this.


Yes, there are carbed Ann. cars, but to the best of my knowledge they are all Euro spec cars. While there are a handful of "legal" cars which were imported into the USA and Canada, for the most part, a DD car is made for countries other than the USA.

Are you from North America?

When you count every single insulated wire it could be... honestly take alone the body parts, they changed so many things, every mount is different, count every nut, washer, screw etc and you will arrive very soon at 500 pieces.
But evidently was much less, engine remained the same gearbox as well, so the major parts remained, the put in a lot of comfort and better isolation that's also a big plus.

From driving the cars are same, I drove already some carbed 25th, it's 99% like a QV.

In the 25th you could get 2 different kind of seats, the normal one with electric adjustment and the so called sport seats.
The sport seats are great, similar to those of the QV, the normal ones just awful.

Thanks raymond, I had never seen the sport seats. Is there any difference other than stitching to the QV seats though?
