Cool Lowest mileage Countach?

Is this the lowest mileage Countach (655 km)?
See Lamborghini Wycombe. They are asking a tremendous price for it but say that they will give an unlimited 12 month no-quibble guarantee with it.

1989 new car Anniversary Countach red/black 535km

I personally don't know these cars condition but such low mileage has a bad effect on some moving parts. I suspect a lot work is needed to return these cars to the road...

1989 new car?

I piss on this, I bought my car with 11'800Km and believe me I had a bunch of problems till my CT ran like it should.

These are not new cars, but 16 years old garage queens, nothing else!

BTW the 25th with the lowest mile I know is the car of Nastasi racing, it has only the test kilometers from the factory, something over 100 KM!

Raymond: What issues should one expect from a 89 Anniverary car that sat for about 11 years and then was driven about 600 miles per year for 4 years. Car has about 2500 miles as of today. Do not have any service records on the car. Thanks!

Read this thread and you know about problemes which might occur with cars standing around for years not having been serviced...
Why you should not buy a garage queen...
