Rod Stewart’s old Lamborghini is selling for £670,000.

The 79-year-old had it for over 25 years.
The 183mph supercar went under the hammer at an auction at Bring a Trailer in July 2024.
But it is now being sold by RM Sotheby’s and is tipped to sell for up to £120,000 more.
The Maggie May singer originally bought the supercar at auction in 1977 whilst on tour in Australia.
It was then shipped to his home in Los Angeles, California, US.

Under his ownership, the car was kitted out with new front and rear spoilers, a wide-body kit, and a revised roof with removable panels.
The Lamborghini joined the singer when he moved back to England, with the pair separating in 2002, as reported by Whats The Jam.
It is one of only 150 examples of the model made.

A Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “The Countach offered here, chassis 1120262, was built in right-hand drive for export to the Australian market, where singer Rod Stewart purchased it while on tour there.
“It left the Sant’Agata Bolognese production line in June 1977 finished in Rosso with Tobacco trim and later followed Stewart, relocating to Los Angeles.
“While in the United States, Stewart had the Lamborghini modified with a full wide-body kit and open-top ‘targa’ roof.
“In 1987, he brought the car to the United Kingdom, where it would stay in his ownership for the next 25 years.”
They added: “Equipped with a 3.9‑litre V‑12 conceived by noted Italian engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, producing 370 horsepower, the Countach’s performance was as bold as its design, with a claimed top speed of 186 mph.
“This legendary engine would remain a cornerstone of Lamborghini’s lineup for decades, appearing in various forms until 2010.”
The guide price is up to £670,000.
The auction takes place in Phoenix, Arizona, US on 23 January.
