Iconic Auctioneers - 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole 88.5 UK RHD-For Sale

The Quattrovalvole Countach with four-valve cylinder heads unleashing 455 horsepower from 5.2 liters. The QV represented the Countach's technical peak, though weight had increased substantially from the original LP400. The massive rear wing became standard, completing the aggressive aesthetic. Performance finally matched the decades of poster-fueled expectations.

Countach visibility virtually non-existent rearward. Cooling marginal in traffic - overheating common. Clutch extremely heavy; synchromesh fragile. Early cars prone to chassis corrosion in door sill areas. Electrical systems temperamental. Air conditioning barely effective. Engine access requires body panel removal. Brake servo failures. Oil consumption normal. Carburetor synchronization critical. Window mechanisms fail. Later QV engines more reliable but complex.

Wing delete (LP400/LP400S), air conditioning, leather interior, Alpine stereo, power windows, Campagnolo wheels, tool kit, luggage set, factory wing (if preferred), matching numbers engine/chassis, known ownership history, Registro Lamborghini certification.
