#1 · October 10, 2022, 11:04 pm

Can't find much info on this car but I think it might be the first run of the Twin Turbo Lamborghini Countach 2526-27. Different box and realased in '88. Anyone know anything. I can't find it online anywhere. Thanks. -phil

Oh wow, you're right... we have the 1989 2626-27 on our site, but that's earlier still.

Is it yours? Can you get more photos? I'll have to write a product page for this 🙂

#3 · October 13, 2022, 11:05 pm

Yes, it is mine. I just couldn't find much information on it. I'd eventually like to sell and I don't know the value. If you need more pictures let me know. -phil

Oh my gosh.. Just saw these photos. Mate, that's a beauty!!!! It's virtually brand new... That's a serious collectors-grade item. I've never seen one in such good condition.

Keep it, don't sell it. Most importantly, keep the box out of the sun, as the UV will degrade both the packaging and the car. And away from any moisture.

Very jealous here 🙂

Its beautiful! did the 89 still have the black frequency sticker? I wondered if they had some issues with the band. every black stickered one I've had seems to fail or not work well
