Lamborghini Countach

This car caught my eye as I was walking through the paddock at the Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2010.

It's a Lamborghini Countach that has been transformed into a 'work of art' by the Danish artist Kristian von Hornsleth, and I've been unable to find out anything about the car itself nor what the artist is trying to portray. The Lamborghini Countach was produced from 1974 to 1990 and was available with three different sizes of the V12 engine, 3,929cc, 4,754cc and 5,167cc.

This car was on the Prestwich Garage trade stand at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Exhibition Centre, Manchester in August 1989.

There's no mention of it in the show's brochure, but it's a Lamborghini Countach. The Countach was produced between 1974 and 1990, and the 'E' on the Number plate indicates a registration date between August 1987 and July 1988.
