WHAT THE K500 MARKET INDEX SAYS ABOUT THE…

Countach 25th Anniversary

K500’s Simon Kidston says, ‘You decide – it’s either the automotive equivalent of ‘Rocky V’ or ‘Jaws: The Revenge’. The final Countach was wildly successful, 657 finding buyers in 1989-90. As the K500 Guide states, “There were many replica Countaches, but the Anniversary Edition, sadly, is the real thing.” Only at RM’S mad Milan 2016 sale would some dreamy-eyed nostalgic, keen to recapture his youth strutting to Groove is in the Heart, pay nearly $500k for a red – red! – 25th Anniversario. Two months later, Bonhams sold another crimson car for $187k: normal service resumed.’
