The private seller offers for sale this 1982 Lamborghini Countach, powered by a 3929 cc V12 engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in white with a blue leather interior, the Countach is presented with its scissor doors, wide wheel arches and rear wing, in the recognisable shape that defined the supercar of its era. The seller states that the engine was recently overhauled at Lamborghini.
The Countach was first shown as the LP500 prototype at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971, and production versions followed from 1974. Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, it replaced the Miura as the flagship of the Sant’Agata marque and introduced the sharply angular, low wedge profile that would influence supercar design for decades. Its scissor doors, which pivot upwards at the front, became a trademark of the brand. The car was built in several series until 1990, and around 2000 examples were produced in total.
Behind the cabin sits Lamborghini’s longitudinally mounted V12, fed by six twin-choke carburettors and driven through a five-speed manual gearbox. The photos show the carburettors and the red ignition leads in the engine bay, the blue leather seats and the instruments in the cabin, and the car from all sides with the doors raised.
The Countach is among the most recognisable of all supercars and have long been a centrepiece of serious collections. This example, with 54000 km according to the seller and a recently overhauled engine, offers a rare opportunity for collectors of Italian supercars.
