Description
Known to Simon Furlonger personally since 1998, this Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is one of the finest available to purchase in the U. K. Ordered new via Portman Lamborghini Concessionaires, London in December 1986 by a Mr. Mahmoud, chassis no. 12065 was optioned with a Rosso exterior over a Bianco interior, the same specification it wears today.
After six years of ownership Mr Mahmoud decided to part ways with the 5000 QV, selling it to a gentleman based in Edinburgh. The second owner enjoyed the car for 5 years before it was sold to its third keeper in 1998, who went on to cherish the Countach for 22 years. During this single ownership the car was thoroughly enjoyed with regular use and often taken to events and meetings. Maintenance has been carried out without any spared expense, proven by the dozens of invoices and receipts filed within the car's service history. Chassis no. 12065 is renowned within the Lamborghini Owners Club U. K. and has been featured in numerous articles and magazine covers, including Car, Classic & Sports Car and Octane.
This 5000 QV was purchased by its 4th and final custodian in 2020 and forms part of a carefully curated collection owned by a long standing Furlonger client, where it has been stabled with some of the finest and rarest supercars in existence. The Countach recently benefited from a cosmetic ‘refresh’ on both its exterior and interior and now presents excellently in all regards.
With a handful of 5000 QVs making their way to the U. K. market in right-hand drive and so few retaining a well documented service history, this presents a timely opportunity to own an example that possesses all the desirable features a true Lamborghini enthusiast could wish for. Chassis no. 12065 is accompanied by an exceptionally well documented maintenance record with dozens of service invoices, receipts, historic MOT certificates and even its original sales invoice from 1986. Also present is the car’s original service and warranty booklet, drivers handbook and blue Nuova Lamborghini document wallet.
This Countach will receive a full service along with any preparation work required by the Furlonger workshop at point of sale.
