Tony’s Take: πππππ The Lamborghini Countach lp400s S1 – the “Lowbody” Countach with Bravo wheels – is not the fastest Countach ever made, but it is the best looking Countach ever produced. Ten years ago, they were $200k cars. The last time an S1 went under the hammer (2020), it sucked half a million dollars from someone’s pocket. I say it will double again, and then some. This despite fears (stoked by Farago) that the exotic and sports car market is about the nosedive.
Will the Lamborghini Countach lp400s be a two million dollar car in three years? Not the craziest thing I’ve ever predicted. Downside: cars that ascend to this price point slip from “fun Sunday car” to something so precious it has to be maintained to an inch of its life – and won’t be driven as intended.

Hard to believe this car is 43 years old. This Lamborghini looks avant-garde to my eyes today.
I would love to drive this to the moon and back however, will…
Estimate a bit lower at $1,100,000.00 as a winning bid.
If I were to win this car, better believe I would install a few recliner chairs in the garage to sit and look upon the Countach during conversations with visiting guests.
I use to drink a bottle of dago red and just think of where and how I was going to market them. Must have been some good wine back then.
