We hesitate to call this 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S a barn find, as it wasn't kept in a barn nor was it necessarily lost in time. That said, it was left in long-term storage in Southern California for upwards of two decades, apparently uncovered and awaiting a restoration that never happened. It's now for sale in "as discovered" condition at $695,000, but according to the selling dealer Driver Source, this isn't just another old Countach.
Lamborghini aficionados will recognize 1982 as the first year for the more powerful LP500 S model, but this particular white Countach is listed as being the first LP500 S of them all. Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni allegedly confirmed several early build features present on this Lambo, including LP400 S fenders, Campagnolo magnesium wheels, and other bits. Furthermore, Driver Source mentions documentation chronicling the car's history as the actual show car that debuted for the 1982 Geneva Motor Show. It was also reportedly the car used in Lamborghini brochures advertising the then-new LP500 S.
