There's a white 83 Countach near my Mum's in East Anglia that never leaves the garage. Only seen it once but it's on the DVLA site as taxed and tested so that's another UK one.

That's borderline criminal keeping a car like that tucked up all the time . Believe Carlo at Top Gear still got his Pearl QV too . Counted 10 thus far !

[Sesto]

Amari's Anniversary makes it 11 counted thus far .

A friend has a RHD Anniversary, less than 800 miles on the clock. -15

Is that not the Amari one ?

Remember a yellow 5000s down Essex way for sale last year = 16

And Rogers Grey Anniversary that went under the hammer , presume it's still in UK = 17

There's a red QV in the Maidstone area, I think the owner might be on here.

Has OrangeLP400's car been counted?

Also, there was a blue LP400 in the London area some years ago, used to turn up at the Goodwood and Castle Coombe track days, anyone know if it's still around?

Has Mike Pullen still got his LP400S..?

Not sure on the red qv , might have been mentioned , the 3 LP400 havn't though if they still around that's 20 Countach's knocking about . Anymore ?

Hi Sesto, yes I do still own it. I've had the wheels worked on and it's currently with Emblem Sports cars for detailing n Mot etc. Re sale, it may being go back on shortly as have just bought another Lambo and the missus says I'm being greedy having two

Can't figure women out sometimes , why settle for one eh ! You did well to hold onto it I think , the low price got me interested but just couldn't stretch the finances at the time . Oh well , one day

I am never one to pass up an opportunity to post photos so here goes:



I feel much better now!

Think that's made us all feel better , thanks for posting .

[Sesto]

It's good to see so many owners and ex owners post on here , one thing that has become apparent is that it is difficult to get a definitive number of Countach's still residing here in the UK , which in a way is kind of nice , I would hazard a guess at there being 50% of the original 14 QV5000 imported into the UK still here but it's just a rough guess . Would be nice to see all the variants together at an event somewhere someday , they always make a spectacle and draw the crowds whichever model turns up . For people of my generation the Countach is still king , always will be , and if I had the gonads to buy one a couple of years ago instead of the Diablo I don't think I would have regretted it , just I needed an easier car to drive because of my lack of experience and the newer more modern Diablo I was counting on being a more cost effective way into Lambo ownership as cash don't grow on tree's in my neck of the woods . Hats off to all you owners and dedicated enthusiasts out there anyhow , and here's hoping you all turn up at the same event somewhere sometime . Keep posting pic's if you feel the need , I for one will never tire of looking at them .

Cheers Rick

Thanks for the comment's, After all these years I still love it.

911944, although many years ago the car was redone I was led to believe it's original

Even though I love it I was thinking of selling but not sure how much it's worth now. I just don't use it enough and it's a very large toy

Keith you shouldn't have no trouble getting 100k for this superb looking example . You say it's not been used much recently but just how many miles have it done ? It looks mint . There are a few people on here who'd love to know more about this car . If you ever did decide to sell I fear it would not hang around for long and people would be queuing up to take a look and make offers . May 5th is Brooklands event this year if you fancy a good day out with other like minded Lambo owners I could get some complimentary tickets for you . PM me if interested .
