1972 Lamborghini Jarama 400GT | Gooding & Company

There was a black/tan dual sunroof Jarama in New Jersey 10(?) years ago. That's the only other one I've seen.

 

It will sell for more than auction est, (wich purposeley is set low) but not 700$ ,

 

The Countach which set a series of twelve British speed and endurance records for production cars, lapping Vauxhall's Millbrook test track at 180mph for extended periods, went unsold 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP500S - Silverstone Auctions

I'm not sure if its sold post-auction.

Although, the records it held speak to this fact, I wonder how many people know it had a factory blueprinted engine?

I have an article written by Alex Postan, who co drove with Barry Robinson in the record event, held at Millbrook on 15/16 October 1983.

The article was published in the Lamborghini Club UK magazine.

In the article Alex confirmed a factory dynomotor reading of 417bhp for the engine and a maximum lap speed of 168.6mph at Millbrook, running without wing.

Motor magazine also tested the car at Millbrook at a later date and with wing recorded 155.1mph, which appears consistent with Alex's maximum without wing.

I can scan the article if anyone is interested and pictures of the car at the London Motor Show.

 

375 > 417, the difference between a standard and a factory blueprinted engine.

Man. Was i wrong

 

Thats a BIG price drop on and a Downdraft that was a "reference car".

 

No. I would hate to see these get traded like collectors items. They're mean to be driven!

I've been busting my ass for the last two or three years, trying to afford one. I really wanted your black one. That car was beautiful! Was it as fun as most say it is?

 

Yes
I want another

 

predictable...

 

Let's hope it stays this way for a while.

Prices on Countach's have been steadily falling the past two years. I think when they were at their peak, it was driven by speculators and not true collectors. Now that the speculators have bailed out and some lost on the proposition, the value is starting to reflect what a true enthusiast is willing to pay for one. I for one would not have been a prospective buyer at the former inflated prices....the Countach was just not appealing enough to me to spend that kind of money. Just my opinion

 

I think it's been more like the stock market & real estate were such a state of recovery for some time that investors avoided that & went for the classic cars as a whole. Real estate and the stock market are back at gambling, so the big money has moved. It's all cycles.
