    Id have to see some interior and engine photos myself to tell you if its a replica or not.

    I honestly think its a real car b/c all the body lines are very much properly lined up the right way. Most kits that sit for awhile start rotting out. I wouldn't doubt the possiblitly that person used Replicar bumpers on that car but otherwise it looks pretty solid to be a fake.

    Marcel:

    The car I posted is an LP400S S3 that is resident in the Haynes Motor Museum's permanent collection. It also has a Senape or Champagne-colored interior, not white.

    Even though it resides in the museum, it is used quite often and driven to events & shows.

    As for the "742 TR" plate, that plate was in fact on a Testarossa in the late 80s.

    correct: different cars, the one Marcel is talking about is 1121188
    is an S2 in UK

    i am not a fan of red on S3 and later cars
    imo they look better in white or black

    the red looks pretty good on lowbodies though

    NO, he sold it 10 years + ago with the two SV's to sweden, the current german owner bought it in 2007 and had the engine revised (new bearings) and cleaned.
    He installed the registration plates for the historical look, they are fakes.

    Max still posseses 2 Urracos, 1 Silhouette, 1 Jalpa, 1 Espada S3, Diablo which are all for sale on MB Cars for sale

    Thanks Raymond for the link.

    The historical plates are nice touch, especially since they were actually on the car in the first place and they serve as a nice reminder of that charismatic Lamborghini personality, Max Bobnar. He used those same plates on many famed Lamborghinis.

    I checked my notes, and it appears Max actually sold this LP500S 21 years ago in 1988 to Sven Arvidsson in Sweden.

    An interesting car for sure.

    Coming back to the brake pad question, the CT and Jalpa used ATE calipers identical to BMW, here you can find the matching BMW models:
