1979 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S
- Colour
- Blue exterior with blue and cream interior
A 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S, one of only fifty examples produced in the first series of that variant. Styled by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the car was delivered in a blue exterior with a blue-and-cream interior and has covered just 13,800 km, believed to be the original figure. Held in essentially unaltered static storage for roughly three decades by its most recent owner, it is considered among the most original surviving LP400 S examples.
