The first owner of this outstanding RHD Countach QV placed his order in 1985 for delivery via Portman in London. As well as specifying Rosso Siviglia coachwork, his bespoke requests included an extra boot lid with wing attached and that the interior be trimmed in leather specially selected by him ( Pelle del cliente noted on the register ). He subsequently visited the factory to inspect his car whilst it was on the production line.
When the car was completed, the buyer requested that Portman’s deliver the car to him and his family at the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane, as a surprise for his wife. that day in August 1987 must have been some sight to see for other road users as the dramatic Quattrovalvole made its way out on to the streets of London for the first time.
