1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is a used car showing 23,094 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Rosso with a Tan interior.

Chassis JLA12397 left Sant'Agata on 22 July 1988 and is thought to be one of only 17 right-hand-drive Quattrovalvoles with side skirts. Its Rosso paint and tan hide piped in black came with a rare set of extras, all still fitted: a sports exhaust, a rear wing with tell-tale lamps in its end plates, chrome badges and sill plates, a chrome bull facing the passenger, and burgundy leather on the wheel rim, gearknob and shift gate.

Portman Concessionaires sold it new to a British businessman, whose third Countach of four it was. Resold through Stratton Motor Company at under 2,000 km, it added some 19,000 km with collectors before being laid up in 1998. A 2010 cosmetic restoration brought a full engine and gearbox overhaul, a new clutch, rebuilt ancillaries and a Larini exhaust with new manifolds. Three more owners followed before Furlonger placed it in 2025 with a collection of limited-series supercars, where it came out only for events; Furlonger's workshops have just completed fresh work on it.

The car is located in Ashford, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV in the European market

Is this Lamborghini priced above or below the European market?

At £899,990, about €1,049,918, it sits above the median of €304,900 for the 525 Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. 97% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Lamborghini be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Ashford, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €119,898 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at £899,990, with no VAT basis stated by the seller, so no percentage comparison is given. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1986 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Lamborghini compare?

23,094 km recorded, against a median of 7,623 km across the Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Lamborghini are priced closest to this one?

a 2021 car in the United Kingdom at €1,052,982, and a 2008 car in Germany at €1,080,000. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV, and how does a purchase work?

Simon Furlonger, a professional dealer in Ashford, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Ashford, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
