Downdraft Carburated ~ This is a 25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach with the highly sought after, Downdraft Carburated V12 Engine. Known as Quattrovalvole this 4 valve per cylinder produced the highest horsepower output of any Countach at 455HP. All Anniversary cars sold in North America had the restricted, Fuel Injected version and produced a 420 hp output. No other naturally asperated/carbed V12 of the era produced more power. This is the king of the old school Icons.
This car is KLA12002. Sold new in Arabia with a delivery date of 30-3-1990, it was believed to have gone to Royalty in the requested Bianco Perlato (Pearl White) paint.
The car has been a Canadian citizen for approx 10 years. I have personally owned the car for 7 years. Previous to me, it was in the care of a mechanical engineer that lovingly owned and sorted the car. While virtually completely original, the car runs exceptionally well and once warm the 6 - 2 barrel Weber Carbs and 5 speed gearbox operate in perfect working order.
Only regular maintenance has been performed in my care. The car has never needed anything and operates extremely reliably. I have put about 5-6000 km on car. This is my 3rd Lambo and 2nd Countach and I have driven virtually every version and the Anniversary is clearly the nicest version to drive while the Carbed powerplant is superior to enjoy and listen to.
The exhaust is original as I can tell and sounds magnificent.
The interior is exceptional with the leather in very good condition, the Dash leather is not pulling. The leather headliner is perfect and the power seats are in operational condition.
The Bianco Perlato paint is very nice and the entire front portion has had a 3M layer for protection for years. A few driving blemishes but very nice paint.
The clutch and brakes operate perfectly and the gearbox operates seamlessly without any grinding or synchro indications whatsoever. Once warm, this is a very fun gearbox to manhandle.
The spare tire is intact as well as the toolkit that is very close to complete.
I do not know of any Downdraft Carbed cars in the Anniversario variant existing in North America save for one other car I have driven. Only about 13 Downdraft cars came to the U.S and no Carbed Anniversary cars did. Canada didn't receive any either in Anniversary guise.
I have owned an 84 Countach and driven most of the variants and this Anniversary is by far the nicest to drive...
Current mileage is about 11600 km.

I am happy to discuss the few minor imperfections the car has and the incredible opportunity this car represents.

This is the real deal and priced extremely well.

Here is a video feature I did on the car when hosting a Collector Car TV show.
