HISTORY OF CHASSIS chassis 1121356
Chassis 1121356 was a left-hand drive Series 3 LP400 S built for a Saudi Arabian customer who ordered the unique colour combination of Sahara Gold over White leather. Gold wheels were also specified, but not a rear spoiler.
The Countach was dispatched to Achilli Motors in Milan on July 31st 1981 wearing temporary export plates EE 94170.
Chassis 1121356 quickly found its way to London, but was not initially registered in the UK. Instead, it remained on the Italian export plates, which routinely attracted the attention of the local constabulary. The car is pictured here on one such stop in Lancelot Place, south west London, where the nearly new machine attracted a large crowd.
1121356 was also frequently seen at the Intercontinental Hotel on Park Lane where the last four photographs were taken (also in August of 1981).
In October 1988, the Countach was UK registered 215 POD. By this time, the exterior colour had been changed to red.
Chassis 1121356 was exported to Belgium in the mid 1990s.
