In 1986 it returned to the United States and was sold to a lucky customer, the color combination of silver metallic and blue leather interior was claimed to be unique until 1989.
An enthusiast aqcuired the car back in 1988 and used it mainly as a show car, occassionally displaying the car at various auto shows like the Monterey Pebble Beach event. It was stored in a controlled environment since 1989 and only travelled to shows in an enclosed trailer, therefore this very rare Countach has only 13000 Km (about 8000 Miles) on the counter. This special Countach was sold in the United States after Lamborghini USA converted it from carburetors to an full electronic fuel injection.
Since this specific Countach is actually a one of a kind Lamborghini it would be a very nice addition to any collection, during late 2000 this car was for sale by the person who owned it since 1988.
