Oliver Nameche Report

 

Just three previous owner


The Countach was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1974. The name ‘Countach’ is derived from an exclamation in a dialect from the Piedmont region bordering Switzerland. The word Countach, which is not orthographically fixed, stands for an exclamation that combines astonishment and admiration and can be translated as ‘non plus ultra’ or ‘unsurpassable’. A total of 237 of the LP 400S were produced between 1978 and 1982, with the vehicle presented here belonging to the 3rd series, of which only 83 were built. According to this report by renowned expert Oliver Nameche, the vehicle presented here was delivered to an Italian discotheque owner in 1981 via Achilli Motors in Milan. As early as 1985, the car was converted to the then more powerful 5000 S engine at one of the most renowned Lamborghini dealerships in Italy. Over the years, the car was sold to a collector in Switzerland and in 2015 to its current owner in northern Germany. The car was extensively overhauled a few years ago and has only driven 2,534 km since then. The overall condition as well as the original interior are in a very attractive condition. The currently fitted rear wing can be easily removed if required. The scope of delivery also includes gold-coloured Bravo rims. With a total mileage of approx. 89,000 km and only three owners in total, this is a real collector’s item.
