Overview

One of a kind Rolls Royce Green Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition!

This is a one off chance to buy the only Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary in the striking Rolls Royce Green exterior, complete with immaculate matching green interior and burgundy stitching, steering wheel and gearstick. The customer requested this during its production back in June 1990.

The truly remarkable fact is that it is still just as powerful as a wide range of today's modern super cars. Powered by the 5167cc V12, this car delivers an impressive 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 183 MPH (295 km/h).

The anniversary was in fact a 'new' Countach, of which was redesigned as much as possible, both externally and internally. The Anniversary was planned to be sold in limited numbers, yet only did it turn out to be the best selling Countach ever made, as a total number of 67 right hand drives were produced, until then came along the Diablo.

The Countach will always be known as the masterpiece that kept Lamborghini alive, with the anniversary edition being a great way to end the production of the Countach. Named to honor the company's twenty-fifth anniversary, the 25th Anniversary Countach was mechanically very similar to the 5000QV but sported much changed styling courtesy of Horatio Pagani.

The rear air boxes were restyled and enlarged, while the vents behind them were changed so that they ran front to back instead of side to side. In addition, a new air dam and side skirting, both with air intakes, were fitted, and the taillights were restyled to be narrower, with body-colored panels replacing the upper and lower parts of the previous large tail lights. The styling changes were striking on the 25 year old design, and had the added benefit of improved the engine's cooling, a problem the powerful Countach had always struggled with. The Countach also featured 345/35R15 tyres; the widest tyres ever available on a production car at the time. The Anniversary was produced from 1988 to 1990 when it was finally replaced by the Lamborghini Diablo.

This beautiful outstanding investment opportunity, the Lamborghini Countach '25th Anniversary Edition' is a 1991 H registered example with only 39,819km from new. With only three owners, all of which have been true Lamborghini enthusiasts who have done their utmost to look after the car to the best of their ability.
