1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400
- Colour
- Giallo Fly (yellow)
A Lamborghini Countach LP400 — chassis number 62, the 31st car built — that left the factory in March 1975 and was first registered to Prince Mansour Bin Mashal of Saudi Arabia. One of only 150 LP400s produced, it wears its original Giallo Fly paintwork over a tobacco leather interior and has accumulated just 6,000 kilometres across four owners. Repatriated to Italy in the 1980s, it underwent a comprehensive rebuild and participated in Lamborghini's 40th anniversary celebrations in Rome in 2003.

Maintenance & restoration
- —Restoration
Full rebuild carried out after the car's return to Italy, covering the engine, gearbox, brakes, running gear, and all ancillary components.
Work took place in the 1980s or shortly thereafter following repatriation from Saudi Arabia. A complete restoration file was compiled and accompanies the car.
- —Modification
Cooling system revised with later-type fans fitted to improve reliability; original fans retained separately. Air conditioning upgraded to later QV-model specification. Battery and alternator uprated.
These modifications were carried out concurrently with the broader rebuild, aimed at improving day-to-day usability.
- —Bodywork
Interior re-trimmed in black leather during the rebuild phase, subsequently replaced with a full re-trim in the factory-correct tobacco leather matching the original specification.
The later tobacco re-trim was described as recent at the time of cataloguing, restoring the interior to its as-delivered appearance.
