1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400S Navigation
This Countach is the third of the LP400S Series III supercars built by Lamborghini - one of only 82, and the first delivered to a private owner, as the first two were retained by Nuova Automobili Lamborghini owner Patrick Mimran. This Countach was special-ordered by a Saudi oil sheikh from Achilli Motors of Milano, in this unique color combination of Verde Metallizzato (metallic green) over khaki leather with green carpeting. When its second owner, Swedish Lamborghini enthusiast Gino Donatella purchased the car, it came with only pre-registration custom papers from Saudi Arabia, indicating that its original owner never bothered to register his Countach, apparently because he just loved to look at it. The Countach's third owner returned it to its origins in Sant'Agata for a full restoration by the same artisans who built the car in 1981. In recognition of its significance, it was displayed at the factory's Museo Lamborghini.
