• Reportedly one of only 10 original UK-supplied right-hand drive Countach LP400 Periscopios
• First RHD Periscopio offered publicly in over a decade
• Comprehensive restoration completed in 2016; recent highlights include appearances at Goodwood and London Concours

Iconic Auctioneers is proud to announce the sale of an extremely rare Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopio at the Collectors’ Car Sale during this year’s Silverstone Festival. This exceptional 1975 example, reportedly one of just ten right-hand drive models delivered new to the UK, represents the first public auction appearance of an RHD Periscopio since 2014.

Finished in Rosso Miura with Nero Pella leather interior, chassis #1120094 is an outstanding specimen of the purest Countach variant. Originally delivered in Tahiti Blue Metallic with Senape tan interior, this remarkable vehicle underwent an extensive restoration by marque specialists Carrera Sport and Furlongers in 2016. Since its restoration, the car has gained prominent recognition at prestigious automotive events, gracing The Cartier Style et Luxe Lawn at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the London Concours.

With fewer than 12,000 documented miles, this Countach has been meticulously cared for and has held an exclusive place in its current owner's collection since 2018. Its provenance is fully documented, tracing ownership back to its first buyer, property developer Dan Horrocks from Bolton, who acquired it in May 1975. The car retains its original engine with matching numbers, while features such as its handbook, still in the leather wallet, and incredibly rare factory bulb kit further enhance its collectability.

The Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopio first captivated crowds at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971, showcasing Marcello Gandini’s revolutionary 'flying wedge' design and striking scissor doors. Three years later, the LP400 production model elevated Lamborghini’s engineering prestige with a 375bhp longitudinally mounted V12 engine, ensuring it was the fastest of all Countach iterations. Renowned for its signature periscope-style rear-view mirror integrated into the roofline – hence 'Periscopio – 157 units were built, just 19 of which were right-hand drive variants, making it the most coveted Countach variant.

Rob Hubbard, Managing Director and Principal Auctioneer at Iconic Auctioneers, commented, “This Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopio represents automotive rarity and desirability at its finest. Opportunities to acquire such an original right-hand drive example are incredibly scarce, making this sale a landmark moment for collectors.”
