I've just seen this in person and I've got to say it looks awesome! www.topgear-cars.co.uk/pages/showroom2005.php

Sorry if this sounds thick....but how can that (blue 25th I take it) have a reg of L500UFO! The last aniversary registered was in 89/90 on a G or possibly H, or so I thought! Can anyone shed some light please?

It is a 1989 car, first registered in 1993.
Probably laid in someone's playboy mansion before they decided to start driving it 4 years later.
Coincidently, I once bought a Countach 5000 from Five Star. Mind you, they were at that stage where the bailiffs were paying them a lot of visits.

Strange to see this car for sale as she changed hands pretty recently I believe. Given the asking price is now considerably more do we think the return of the speculator has arrived once again?

Nice car none the less but I hate to think what nasty CD’s might be stuck in the changer given the original owner!

do i remember hearing when 5 star owned it they drove it up and down the driveway not on the road? i'm just old enough to remember that band

The one that I bought from them was white.
Mind you, between the lot of them, there were 3 Lambos if I recall.

I remember seeing them in a White QV (328 DEL) and a Black one at the same time.
