Please note: This car has chassisnumber 129!

It all started with the cancelled LP400 1120258, that car does not excist. They used that chassis 129 for 1120286 instead. Then the chassis 143 that was supposed to go to 1120286 became available, and was later used to built 1121030 for René Leimer..

SA built Lamborghini Countach LP400 S

A company called Intermotormakers imported Lamborghinis in CKD form and assembled a small number of Countach, Espada and Urraco models at their factory in Cape Town. This is one of those cars which now resides in the UK.

I don't have exact numbers of how many cars were assembled in SA, but build quality was said to better than that of the cars built in Italy.

Gerry Steenkamp, the owner of the company and a qualified Architect was said to be putting a bid together to buy Lamborghini from the owners at the time but nothing came of it. Sadly, Lamborghini assembly came to an end when the SA government withdrew the company's minimum local content exemption. The company carried on producing a small limited run of locally built sport cars and eventually faded into history.

In German magazine Auto Zeitung Classic Cars 06/2022. Car now on Italian plates BE.640LJ.

Funny thing is that the pictures in this article have been edited to make it look like a LHD car! They even used pictures of the interior from the photo LP400 1120001 to make it look even more plausible.
