    Among the many things I don't know, that is one of them! Wish I did, but in those days very few people noted a VIN.

    Sorry couldn't get the vin. I did see the registration sticker and the car hasn't been on the road for 8 yrs or so.

    1120096 owned by a physician in the USA, if you look closely you will see its the ex-Brussels Show car with flat roof.

    Is this car owned by Dr. Simeone now?

    I have encountered what I believe to be this car a number of times but I never associated it with the Simeone Collection.

    Thanks Joe, I was just curious if it has changed hands.

    There are folks who have called "B.S." on me a number of times when I say this car has a factory installed TV (heard it directly from the owner) and a handful of times they wanted photographic proof. It just so happens I have it and will share it for those here who might be interesting.

    +1. Still, a cool thing to have if the factory installed it. Do you think it was made with the Tag Heuers? :)

    i guess now all we need to confirm its a factory installed item is a build sheet... ;)

    Thank you very much Scott. The owner had promised to send me some images, but that was a long time ago!

    It's very likely one exists documenting this car's special features. Our 1120056 had all its non-standard components listed on 2 build sheets. My experience has been that for any Lamborghini Miura or Countach that received non-standard application of some kind at Sant Agata when new, a note was made somewhere: on factory letter head, or a basic build sheet, almost without exception. They would note special seat belts, rally clocks, plaques, special radios, all manner of details. I believe Ingrid put this together most of the time. These notes apply to private customer's cars & show cars. Copies were usually given to the first owner, but we have no idea what happened to factory files. You simply have to find these items, and the first owner is always the reason whether these papers survive or not.
