First debuting in 1971, Lamborghini‘s famed Countach quickly became every red-blooded male’s dream car upon its release. Jim Chan happened to be one of those guys growing up but he managed to turn his fantasy into reality when he finally acquired a pristine example. The owner of Axis Wheels, producer of some of the finest rims around, Chan is a petrol-head through and through so it comes as no surprise then that he gladly met up with the crew from Petrolicious to talk about his newly acquired supercar and show off its beautiful angular bodywork. Honest in his appraisal of the car, Jim waxes lyrical about the beauty of the car before going on to mention its complete lack of ergonomics and everyday usability. That being said, the car has to be one of the most beautiful ever produced and Chan’s affection for the car is contagious. Check the video for a fantastically well-shot tribute to a legendary vehicle and enjoy the soundtrack which is heavy on the V-12 notes.
