    One week ago two Lamborghinis were offered at the Artcurial Sur Les Champs Auction.

    1. A countach 5000 S with already 82'000 Km was sold for about USD 290'000 incl. commission. Not a bad price for the seller for a 5000 S with that mileage.

    2. An Espada was not sold, the highest bid was EUR 115'000, about USD 135'000. From the description and the pictures I would say the condition was okay but not more. Some parts are not original on the car.

    Maybe a stupid question but isn't CLA12500 supposed to be a 1982 Countach ? I am surprised it was delivered new in March 1985.

    Good question, I think that's a typo, the chassis number suggests its a 1982 production car, and it has all the characteristics of an early LP500S, down to the absence of bull badge on the rear panel.

    Great chassis number FWIW!

    good purchase, not good sale for ex owner... his agent offered me his car for 320.000 €, I made an offer at 260.000 €, he got less from Artcurial...
