About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Decent repaint with some masking oversights. Good original upholstery and carpets. Clean original underbody. Lightly used and showing only a little age, with 10,398km and four owners from new.

Market commentary

The description 'telephone dial wheels' risks being lost on today's collectors who grew up with tone and electronic telephones and never experienced the 'dialing' experience, but there it is, along with carburetors, vacuum windshield wipers and stick shifts, a declining vernacular. This is an exceptional Countach, aside from its sketchy repaint, and would have been a reasonable value at the reported bid or even a little more.
