1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400S Coupe

This Lamborghini Countach LP 400 S by Bertone is a second-series example, exhibiting smooth-finish wheels and lower suspension settings (third-series cars had slightly raised suspension). A total of 237 examples of the LP400 S were produced, with 105 of those being second series examples.

When this example left the factory, it wore a red exterior over a beige leather interior. It spent its early life in Switzerland, who drove it approximately 5,000 kilometers over ten years. It was given an engine overhaul completed by a Swiss Lamborghini specialist before it entered the care of its second owner. The third owner took possession in 2005 and the car's fourth owner (Jean Guikas) purchased it in 2015. Six years later, in 2021, it was purchased by its fifth (and current) owner. The car was sent to the same Italian craftsmen who do work for Lamborghini Polo Storico, the automaker's in-house classic center, for cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment, with receipts totallying €71,000. The work included stripping and repainting the car to Tahiti Blue, a very rare color for the Countach.
