Curiously, I've found another photo of the Countach in front of the plane which must be from that same photoshoot, but it's not the one in the catalog.

"And now my friend, the first rule of Italian driving: What's behind me is not important."

Quite an interesting trivia chapter!
In Italy until very late cars could be sold without external mirrors, which could explain why the brochure pictures had the LP400 without any mirrors, plus the ITAVIA airline was an Italian company too.
One thing i find odd is the rear plate, which is correctly dated (black with white lettering, square) but it starts with "EE", which isn't a province like a normal plate, but means "Escursionisti Esteri", which is a temporary plate and registration for import or export of vehicles by privates.

my guess is its his aw11

Based on the chapter names, it most likely is his AW11.

Interestingly Marcello Gandini seems to favor Vitaloni mirrors.

Two of his car designs model kits I built, the Lamborghini Jota and Renault 5 turbo have them. The Jota has the Vitaloni Tornado, the Renault 5 Turbo has the Vitaloni Tornado.

And to think this all started because Ferrari snubbed a guy for "just making tractors"
