Early LP400 Countach is one of only 157 with the over-roof rear-view mirror periscope channel car auto cars
Rod Stewart’s love of model railways comes across as a weird fit given the veteran singer’s wild antics in the 1970s and 1980s. But Rod has another passion that dovetails perfectly with his former rock and roll lifestyle:Rod loves supercars, but he seems to have a particular soft spot for Lamborghinis, having bought his first,. He went on to own a Miura SV, Diablo and Gallardo, and the car you see here, a 1977 LP400 Countach that’s being auctioned by RM Sotheby’s at Villa Erba this weekend.
Which is why, having bought the Lambo while on tour in Australia in 1977, then relocated it to America, Stewart commissioned Albert Madikian Engineering to apply a full wide-body kit and even install an open-top targa roof, before eventually selling the car in 2002. Fortunately those mods were later reversed by a subsequent owner and in 2022 the Countach was refreshed by Lamborghini’s official Polo Storico restoration department.
