1982 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II

Red over Tan leather, this 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S embodies the coupe’s sought-after ‘Low-Body’ era of production. Rarity as the second-to-last chassis built out of 105 units so configured offers a handsome spec with investment-grade provenance. This Series II example further pairs cherished traits of lower suspension, early Gandini styling, and Bizzarini 3.9L V12 power with documented history and appropriate refurbishment throughout ownership primarily in the Western United States. Valentino Balboni's signature and participation in the 2021 Countach Rally bring modern credo, encouraging the next owner to add atop an odometer reading of just 19,506km (12k mi) shown.

Among the final models constructed under company founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini’s tenure, the Countach remains an indisputable influence in the canon of supercar heritage. This car’s forward-opening ‘scissor’ doors unveil quintessential equipment of the era within. Remarkably preserved interior leather clads 2-passenger bucket seating separated by its 5-speed gated manual gearshift and transmission tunnel. Dark Brown dash upholstery is accented by a Raid 3-spoke steering wheel, Jaeger instruments, and Autovox AM/FM/Cassette stereo. Factory air conditioning, tan carpets, and 2-piece side windows complete the time-capsule cabin. Signature NACA side ducts and flared fiberglass wheel arches sit above 15” Campagnolo wheels and rebuilt 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes provide firm stopping power.

Correct details front to back yield pop-up headlights, a front trunk, and rear decklid described to open, close, and latch, with ease. Behind the cockpit, this Lamborghini’s 60-degree DOHC V12 received Crane Cams, re-jetted Weber DCOE carburetors (6), updated electronic ignition, and resealed distributors in 2012. Rebuilds of the brake servo, master cylinder, and clutch slave cylinder, along with new CV boots and fuel hoses are reported during the same refurbishment. New door struts and maintenance to R12 air conditioning and electrical systems in 2013 are further detailed. In 2019, Dino Motors of San Mateo, California performed carburetor tuning, ignition timing, and spark plug replacement. A tool kit, OEM trunk-mounted spare tire, and its uninstalled optional rear wing are included in the sale, as are a clean title and service records from current/previous ownership.
