We\u2019ve told the story once before, right? Well, yes. But we haven\u2019t told the story of this particular Lamborghini Countach. You see, the 1980 Lamborghini Countach LM400 S2 \u2018low body\u2019 you\u2019re looking at here is more special than the others. This Lamborghini was Lamborghini\u2019s. Not the company, the man. Ferruccio.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/\/xd8oPaZ9B5I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than some press clippings from the 1980s, the whereabouts of this car have been a mystery. It was Ferruccio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/list\/26\/\">Lamborghini\u2019s<\/a> from new, before being bequeathed to the family upon the great man\u2019s passing. After that, the car was sold to a private collector, where it has been until now. All those years, hidden away. Now with another collector, the Countach apparently changed hands for a record fee. But then, what would you expect? This is Lamborghini\u2019s Lamborghini.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ferruccio, Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Lamborghini Countach, Countach, LP400, Iain Tyrrell, Iain Tyrrell Classic Cars, super car, Miura, motoring, aotomotive, classic car, retro car, rare car, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-2000x1125.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-765x430.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05430-1800x1013.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Countach isn\u2019t going straight from one collector to another though. Instead, it\u2019s going to its new home via the talented hands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iaintyrrell.co.uk\/\">Iain Tyrrell<\/a>, who you\u2019ll know from a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/iain-tyrrell-classic-cars-british-eccentricity-with-an-italian-heart\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent feature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And while we were there to speak to Iain, we concluded that it would have been remiss of us to not point our lens at the car. You may have seen the video above, but these pictures are exclusive &#8211; nobody has had access like this.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what makes the car so special, apart from the obvious? Well, it\u2019s a rare model for starters. An LP400 S2 \u2018low body\u2019, it\u2019s perhaps one of the most collectible of its kind, even before getting to past owners. The S2 saw the arrival of the flared arches, spoiler and those familiar, dished alloys, but it ushered in these changes care of the original specification body. The S3 was a taller car, by some 30mm, so as to give a hair more space inside. This car is still the original low body. It\u2019s a purer model for many.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ferruccio, Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Lamborghini Countach, Countach, LP400, Iain Tyrrell, Iain Tyrrell Classic Cars, super car, Miura, motoring, aotomotive, classic car, retro car, rare car, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-2000x1126.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-765x431.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05466-2-1800x1013.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Power comes from a carb-fed V12 with, as the name suggests, 400bhp. This in turn is mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear, impressively wide, wheels. Make no mistake, this machine is an absolute monster to drive. One that will chew up and spit out the tame and timid. It\u2019s a car from a time when computers, power management and airbags were but a pipe dream. It\u2019s a pure supercar.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ferruccio, Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Lamborghini Countach, Countach, LP400, Iain Tyrrell, Iain Tyrrell Classic Cars, super car, Miura, motoring, aotomotive, classic car, retro car, rare car, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-2000x1126.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-765x431.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05438-1800x1013.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How though, did Ferruccio come to own it? After all, by 1980 he was no longer a part of the company he had created. He left in 1974, but in doing so, left an itch unscratched. The Countach concept had arrived in 1971, but Ferruccio never took delivery of one. He\u2019d had a Miura, and loved it thoroughly (despite his initial reluctance to build a mid-engine car), but no Countach. The car was plagued by development issues, meaning there wasn\u2019t a road version ready until the same time as his departure from the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ferruccio, Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Lamborghini Countach, Countach, LP400, Iain Tyrrell, Iain Tyrrell Classic Cars, super car, Miura, motoring, aotomotive, classic car, retro car, rare car, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-2000x1126.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-765x431.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05476-1800x1013.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the threat of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/list\/26\/\">Lamborghini\u2019s<\/a> demise that actually sealed the deal for Ferruccio. In 1980, Lamborghini was a company very much on the brink of collapse. It had entered into bankruptcy in 1978, and put into the receivership of Swiss brothers Jean-Claude and Patrick Mimran doing their utmost to reinvigorate the brand, it wasn\u2019t going well initially. Of course, as we know, the brothers pulled Lamborghini back from the brink and bought the company in 1984, and increased production of the Countach and bolstered the range with additions like the Jalpa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, before they gave the company the lifeblood it so desperately needed, the future of the brand was looking uncertain. It was at that time of uncertainty that the head of sales for Lamborghini, a close friend of Ferruccio, called to offer him the chance to buy one. This one.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cancelled order, this car was originally painted red. As many of you will know, Ferruccio was not a fan of red on his cars for obvious reasons. As such, the car was stripped down and painted white. The proper colour &#8211; his words &#8211; for this model. It was delivered to him in May 1980.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.co.uk\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ferruccio, Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Lamborghini Countach, Countach, LP400, Iain Tyrrell, Iain Tyrrell Classic Cars, super car, Miura, motoring, aotomotive, classic car, retro car, rare car, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-2000x1126.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-765x431.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC05460-1800x1013.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The car stayed with Ferruccio until his death in 1993, and in the years it was with him, it was driven. The car wears an odometer reading of just over 17,000km, most of which were put on there by the man himself. It wasn\u2019t a trophy, it was a car he drove.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon his passing, the car was, as mentioned above, bequeathed to the family before being sold to a private collector.
