    Different white car, the car in the flag picture is Ferruccio's car I believe.

    The one in the showroom is a white/blue S1 that has been sold.

    Good catch. I also just noticed the one above has the solid interior. S1 has a two tone.

    It's a good problem to have, too many white Countachs sitting around.

    Good eye! I noticed the same thing. Also the one in the showroom has a single flag mirror compared to the car above.

    Yes, and the white one is the ex-Ferruccio 1121164 owned by Gino D who tells me he has turned down small fortunes for it!

    Emilio: you must know this Italian LP500S with the white ceramic-coated sport exhaust? I saw it when the owner drove it all the way from Italy to St Moritz 2 summers ago and I have to say it was absolutely minty!

    Would that be the one that he drove in the 60 Minutes feature back in 88?

    Correct. I believe it was 1986 in fact.

    We both stand corrected. 1985 ;)

    I guess that I saw a re-run. I must have been a popular feature if they rebroadcast it 3 years later. :)

    Cant remember.

    But it did have the unique white ceramic-coated exhaust when I inspected it at St Moritz airport. Sounded lovely too.

    Coating the exhaust in White Ceramic must have been the thing to do. Here is HLA12997 that I was looking at in Bellevue, Wa.:
