1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400S Coupe

Delivered new to Lamborghini Automobili owner Jean-Claude Mimran on May 15, 1981, this LP400 was used as one of the four safety Cars during the Monaco F1 Grand Prix in 1981 and 1982. All of the safety cars were retained by Nuova Automobili F. Lamborghini and were owned by the Mimran brothers at the time. This example was built specifically for Jean Claude Mimran, one of two brothers responsible for purchasing Lamborghini in 1981. It was finished in Bianco with blue leather and included special appointments requested by Mimran. Upon completion, it was shipped to Monte Carlo as an 'Intervention' pace for the 1981 Monte Grand Prix, complete with flashing police lights and graphics.

Arguably one of the most iconic Countachs in existence, the 81/82 Monaco Grand Prix Safety Car is an incredible example and one of the two early Series III 'Low Body' models (this was the second 1981 Countach LP400S Series III built). The Countach was retained by Nuova Automobili F. Lamborghini for an extended period following the Monaco Grand Prix events and stored for over 30 years. In 2019, with less than 5,000 miles, the car then traveled from Belgium to the United States, where it was recommissioned by marque specialists, with an eye on maintaining the car's originality.

After an eight-month mechanical restoration and preservation of the original Bianco paint and blue leather interior, this immediately recognizable supercar made its debut at The 26th Annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. It was later shown at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the Postwar Preservation class.
