This gorgeous 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole serial #HLA12126 has 7,285 kilometers (4,527) original miles and is a terrific example of a true survivor. Of the estimated 610-630, 5000 QV models ever built only 66 of them had factory fuel injection. This is one of the 66!
This car was manufactured in March of 1987 as indicated on the original serial tag indicates. As the Car Fax report indicates this car spent its first couple of years in Ontario, Canada. On October 23rd, 1989 a new owner from Pompano Beach, FL was reported with 6,552 kilometers (4,071) miles on the odometer.
The exterior is absolutely gorgeous with its unique design. It’s truly like a piece of rolling artwork. The Countach was designed by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini with angular wedge-shaped styling and scissor doors. The car features a Marchesi tubular steel space frame under aluminum bodywork as well as NACA ducts aft of the doors and air intakes above the rear quarters. The 5000 QV variant utilizes Kevlar front and rear deck lids. It’s believed that this car retains its original Rosso Siviglia (Seville Red) paint. The paint has very minimal imperfections and touch up marks throughout. The paint was recently detailed to a show quality shine and appears wet. It truly looks amazing especially considering its 35 years old. It retains all of its original Sicursiv glass which is in excellent condition. The car sits on its original 15”cast aluminum OZ wheels which are a Countach hallmark. The wheels are wrapped with new Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires that are 225-50-VR15 on the front and 345-35-VR15 on the rear which is factory correct specifications. The original Pirelli P7 tires that were removed are included. According to the DOT dates the front tires were manufactured on the 25th and 44th week of 1986. The rear tires were manufactured on the 13th and 18th week of 1988. With that being said, the original rear tires must have been replaced under warranty or changed during the first year of ownership.
The original Senape (Mustard) leather interior is in beautiful condition throughout. It’s surprisingly spacious and comfortable with all things considered. Bruno Paratelli, the famed leather upholsterer from Vigarano Pieve, has been responsible for dressing the cockpit of the 1971 LP 500 prototype. He was also instrumental in guiding and advising Lamborghini on the upholstering of the production cars. While some of the leather work was outsourced, much of it and other trim work took place in-house. Upholstering each Countach consumed about 21 square meters of the finest-quality full-grain hide and took about 130 man hours. The doors open and close very nicely unlike some other examples. The windows also roll up and down very nicely. The door sill and bucket seats show little to no wear as most other examples do. The entire dash is in excellent condition including all the gauges. The underneath of the entire dash is also in excellent condition. The steering wheel, door panels, center console, shifter, pedals and carpeting are also in excellent condition. The entire interior is reflective of a vehicle that has 7,285 kilometers (4,527) original miles and that has been properly taken care of. Everything in the interior is in working order with exception of the drivers remote mirror switch. It even retains the original floor mats with Velcro strips. The front storage compartment is home to the original spare OZ Lamborghini stamped wheel with Michelin 105R 18 tire.
The engine compartment is nicely detailed throughout and virtually untouched. The backside of the engine cover retains the original factory stickers. The car is powered by the original fuel injected 5.2L V12 engine that produced 420HP @7,500 rpm and 340lb-ft @5,000rpm. The redesigned Quattrovalvole heads offered 4 valves per cylinder. Multi-valve engines can offer better breathing, a higher rev limit and greater power than their two-valves per cylinder counterparts. Cars built between 1986-1988 that employed this engine carried the internal Sant’Agata designation “Countach Iniezione.” This is one of only 66, 5000 QV models that had factory installed Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection.
The undercarriage is also nicely detailed throughout and virtually untouched. The fiberglass floors were undercoated from the factory and recently freshened. The top section of the floors was left raw like it was at the factory. Many of the suspension and braking components still retain the original factory paint marks.

Awesome car! I owned a 1988.5 Countach 5000 QV for 11 years and never had an issue with it. Rock solid car.
I don't think I've ever seen a video which demonstrates this car's true on-the-limit handling abilities.
wish there was !!!
Look up “Top gear Countach vs Testarossa” near the end of the video it shows these 2 cars around the track.
My dream car 🔥
Bro you ain't lyin. The 70s an 80s was great for cars
BEAUTIFUL car and sounds great! This model has always been my favorite..
The Countach was made for wide open speed. Crawling around a short track is about the most un-Countach thing you could do.
The customer who purchased it for $875,000 can test its true performance if they wish. We simply did a driving video to show how it drives and performs. Thanks.
i’m in mass. i do see this video was from a year ago but do you still have this car?
what’s a countach worth these days?
Hi Gino, we sold this last year on bringatrailer.com for $860,000

Bro, it's a car we were selling and sold for $810,000. We didn't plan on beating the snot out of it, but thanks for pointing that out.

It was a test drive, on a track, no click bait. But thanks for watching!
