The Lamborghini Countach is a mid-engined supercar that was produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990. Its design both pioneered and popularized the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high performance sports cars.

The Countach was styled by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio. The doors, a Countach trademark, were scissor doors: hinged at the front with horizontal hinges, so that the doors lifted up and tilted forwards. The main reason is the car's tubular spaceframe chassis results in very high and wide door sills.

The mid mounted traditional Lamborghini V12 drives the rear wheels.

 

This RHD car is an early Periscopio version, perhaps the purest of the breed only 150 of these were built it was originally supplied to its first owner in Australia the lucky owner personally picking up the car fron Sant Agata
