nice, nice, nice

 

favoloso!! a joy to see

 

I feel lucky as hell to have a USA version of those Factory Museum cars here in my collection..

a Countach (red) LP400 Periscopa
a Yellow Miura "S"
a Gold Dialbo SE
a White SV

Just need to get a 350GT added..got to find the right one!!

 

Roy you're a lucky Man !

BTW Pls post pics of your LP 400

 

I thought you sold your Yellow Miura S long time ago?

 

My LP400 has been going threw a full body off every nut and bolt re-do for the last 4 years..most parts we had to go back and source from the old timers n Italy...including a RAER roll of mouse hair I found in their warehouse in the basement when I visited them two years ago..sent all the interior back to them to re-do..should be all complete and ready to show at Italiano Concourso Monterey this year.

 

Re-aquired it back here in Seattle..not for sale..

 

Here is a nice shot of "Roys Toys" from our 2006 Italian Concours. I believe this was right after you acquired both of them, correct Roy?

What a joy it was to help unload them. Both VERY nice examples!!!!!

Another photo from the same (2006) Italian Concours.

The '87 White/White Countach was owned by a local owner who passed away. The car eventually was sold by Park Place Ltd in Bellevue, Wa and went over to Switzerland.

Roy, do you remember who owned the Red/Black 25th anniversary next to it??? I've not seen that car in our area since this Concours.

pros to you for taking the time to do it right
you sent the interior to B. Paratelli to re-do?

i cannot wait to see the LP400 completed!

 

cORRECT IT WILL BE PERFECT

 

I've read in Sport Auto, that journalists have driven the cars in Cento Parade, as the 350 GT was driven by French Jean-Eric Raoul...

 

Roy, is that David Fox's old LP400 that you are having Steve restore? If so, I have a bunch of cool old pics and video of it that you can have just as part of its history. David and I used to the drive two LP400s really hard on a few rallies together circa 1998-2000.

 

Yes it is...sure thanks..

Wow! great taste and amazing collection , specially your color selection
Hats off to you

can't wait to see a pic of those cars together
also I hope you find the right 350GT soon .

Congrats !

How you like the Aventador
so far ...

 

Great video. Thanks for posting it.
It reminds me very much of the huge Lamborghini parades from sant' agata to cento I have been lucky to be part of previously.
That was first in 1993 and then in 2003.
Hopefully there will be something similar in 2013 when the Lamborghini factory is 50 years.
I mentioned it to Valentino last week but he couldn't confirm anything yet.

 

Only in Italy!
Most of the cars seem to be from the factory museum so are not licenced taxed or probably road legal in any way! So what do you do? You get the police to escort you out, wave you through and lead a speeding convoy! Ahhhhh. makes you glad to be alive, but sad not to be living in Italy!
Am going to take one of my old cars there this summer for a driving holiday!
Wonder which factory would give me the nicest reception and tour?

Correct as he doesn't know what's going on at factory... on behalf of LCB, nothing is actually prepared/scheduled as I've spoken to several top managers 2 weeks ago
