    Kit included with this car:

    https://www.marshallgoldmanoh.com/used-vehicle-1988-lamborghini-countach-c-1142/?utm_source=Marshall+Goldman&utm_campaign=1e94ec8cc3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_08_01_18_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d859a8df6b-1e94ec8cc3-8391641

    Typical observation in a 88.5 kit - the sole yellow translucent screwdriver (both screwdrivers in yellow translucent became the more common in anniversario kits). Not so common, the rare inclusion of a 18mm spanner with the more common 17mm spanner and the very typical 19mm. Interesting to see the rare green bottom bulb and fuse container (instead of the more often seen yellow). Also not included are the commonly missing leather working gloves (the most elusive of tool kit pieces). The spark plug swivel spanner (one of the most common pieces in a kit) is also missing.

    This kit is available for sale. I can’t say it’s a great piece but there are elements that are correct. Hard to tell what’s original and what isn’t. Missing the correct bulb/fuse pot, gloves, spark plug spanner, etc. I’m guessing that it originally came from a 5000S. Anyhow, I’m happy to connect anyone interested with the seller. I have no affiliation.

    This 25th Anniversario kit included with this car:

    https://www.tomhartley.com/used-car-details/used-lamborghini-countach-25th-anniversary-coupe-black-manual-petrol/id-3474/

    Apologies for the screen quality. Interesting to note, I think one can have a fairly high degree of confidence that this kit is precisely as it came from the factory. Though, note the black screw driver (which I’ve never seen in any Countach kit), and the lack of a bulb/fuse pot (though I’m guessing it’s somewhere).

    The million dollar question. Tool kits occassionaly come up on eBay. Big money as you would expect. Only other way is to collect the parts when they become available. I was in this position and have a pretty good toolkit now. But it's taken 8 years to get it to this stage.

    As you would have seen from this thread, there are lots of differences in the parts used in the kits, pretty much what Lambo had on the shelf at the time.

    With time, everything is possible!

    Only hope is that a kit comes up soon. Reach out to all the forums / dealers, you never know, someone may have one to sell.

    I may have a line on a kit. I should know more in the next few days. Remind me what model you have.

    Correct, it isn’t. The pieces are very consistent with a late 5000S kit.
