Buyer’s notes
About the Lamborghini Countach LP400
The LP400 is the Countach as Marcello Gandini drew it: a narrow body with no rear wing and no wheel-arch extensions, and a carburettor-fed 3.9-litre V12. Only 157 were built, between 1974 and 1978. It is lighter and purer than the wider LP400 S that followed, and the collector market now treats it as the purest Countach.
What moves the price
- Verification: a chassis number confirmed against Lamborghini’s factory records underpins the value.
- Originality: the narrow, wingless shape is the point, and later additions count against a car.
- Provenance: with so few cars, each one’s history and condition set its price.
Before you buy, check
- The chassis number and its factory record, before anything else.
- Signs of later updates, such as wings or wheel-arch extensions added to look like later cars.
- The cooling system: heat management was a weakness when new and remains part of ownership.
