HISTORY OF CHASSIS JLA12309
Chassis JLA12309 was one of the 17 right-hand drive Countach Quattrovalvoles built in right-hand drive with side skirts.
It was ordered by David Needham of Worcester and invoiced to his company, The Carpet Factory in Stourport-on-Severn.
Mr Needham configured the car in Rosso with a Senape interior and rear spoiler. It was dispatched from the factory on February 12th 1988 and delivered to Portman Lamborghini a few days later.
On February 24th, JLA12309 was registered E825 LYU.
The car is depicted here at Portman’s service centre in Brentford a few weeks after delivery.
It also appeared at a Castle Come track day later that year.
David Needham subsequently went on to purchase a new Countach 25th Anniversary during the summer of 1989 (chassis KLA12633) at which point his Quattrovalvole is understood to have been sold on.
