    i personally dont think its not bad in terms of color. Yes its not original... But so long as the work looks good and clean, I wouldnt mind especially if you drive it and afterwards change the color back...

    As I said already: "Nice paint color", and then added fairly & accurately "although non-original". No need to crucify you, I appreciate the color too!

    However when discussing the liveries of limited production sports cars, you're going to have to be a little more precise than describing burgundy as red, or dark gray as silver! If a seller described a car he was selling you as silver/red and you showed up and it was dark gray/burgundy, well... you see my point. Descriptive accuracy is important when discussing amongst fellow enthusiasts.

    Oh--I disagree w/ nothing you said. I was using very broad terms.

    I know NOTHING about the specific interior/exterior colors of these cars--I'm here to learn and absorb. The various color names make my head spin. One day this hopefully will stop happening.

    Of course the accuracy in describing every nuance of these cars is critical--seems like each one is unique since there were so few of them.

    No not photo-shopped. That is a real livery on an LP400 at the production period, delivered to the Middle East. This was the 70s, remember?

    yes, and sure is not the only countach with a wild livery (pink 5000S comes to my mind)

    still is strange they paint the sills under in orange when new

    do you know the VIN, Joe?

    I have a whole range of images of this car and I cant find them - except for this interior shot. I promise to try & dig them up. Anyway, it was made for a Middle Eastern Prince and he wanted a special red-and-white livery, red 'shag' carpeting, red mouse hair dash....

    Emilio this is a sister car to yours, very early car, I am told it is 1121004, but I cant verify that. Note the bodywork with the fenders and wheel arches as one unit.... in Japan.
