    A little cheap eh?

    The seller netted what $103k maybe?
     
  4. What a low reserve, 75k. So low, it makes me a little more curious what shape it's really in.

    According to this one source, that's an average price achieved for 25ths that come to auction:

    Auction results and data for 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary (Countach 25°) | Conceptcarz.com

    "Data based on 12 auction sales
    •Average Sale Value : $108,821
    •Lowest Sale Value : $85,800
    •Highest Sale Value : $178,006
    •Average Sale Value : $104,205 (disregarding highest and lowest sale)"

    Regarding the market for 25ths, their availability in the market means buyers have a fair amount of choice, and it also means the market is better defined because of the activity and available comparables.

    Sounds good to me.

    Dunno, but just from pics the following notes can be made:

    - Tubi exhaust fitted with exhaust valance missing

    - Alpine stereo replaced with Blaupunkt sound system

    - Air hoses replaced with solid metal polished items

    - USA front bumper still affixed

    - Aftermarket carpet covers

    Here is the link:
    1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary 500 HP, 5-Speed for sale by Mecum Auction

    Thinking about it a little, I am sure it can easily be made pristine if that's one wishes, meanwhile I think it sold appropriately.

    I think you need a 25th, then you wouldn't be messing with all those carbs.

    Octane | 1990 Countach Anniversary

    Valentino - "I think with the Anniversary, we got the best compromise with what we wanted from a Countach"

    The article goes on to note:

    "Despite its divisive styling (which suffers for being less extreme than the QV’s), there’s something very likeable about the way the Anniversary feels. It has all the poise and ability of its fearsome ancestors, yet it’s just friendly enough that you can sit in it and not feel completely intimidated. Perhaps that would explain why the run-out model sold so well during its two-year stint, which led up to the arrival of the altogether more modern Diablo. The Anniversary represents the end of an era – but, luckily for the engineers at Lamborghini, it’s also the best of the lot to drive"

    The piece also notes quite correctly:

    "Each generation of Countach drives just a little bit better than the last".

    You will get the same 'snap crackle & pop' with a FI car too, so far as it has a sport exhaust and is properly tuned.
