HISTORY OF CHASSIS 1121438
Chassis 1121438 was the only Series 3 Countach LP400 S configured in Verde Abete with Bianco upholstery. Also optioned with a rear spoiler, the car was ordered through the Al Ayda Lamborghini agency in Saudi Arabia.
Following completion on January 14th 1982, the green Countach is believed to have made its way out to the Middle East, but later returned temporarily to Europe. The car is depicted here during the spring of 1985 at the Park Tower hotel in Knightsbridge, London, which was owned by Mahdi Al Tajir. Al Tajir was a fellow Countach owner and a close advisor to Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
Later, chassis 1121438 made its way to Qatar where it spent many years outside.
