    Reportedly, it was originally white.

    No toolkit; how hard are they to find?

    How about the individual tools, if I had an empty original toolkit. Same difficulty?

    Yes, same difficulty. There are reproduction tool bags being made. The quality of the reproductions are, so, so.
    I am not aware of reproduction tools but I am sure they are out there.

    I'm going to try to stop by and check out the car on Saturday. I think I've seen this one in their shop a year ago after an engine rebuild, not sure if it's the same one, but a very pretty car.

    Any suggestions on what to look for? I can try to take pics for everyone. Any requests?

    Please check for cracks at the roof pillars. Especially at the top corners of the windshield. Also, the glass is very important. Then, where the alum body mounts ( a difficult inspection, as one has to be a reptile to check w/o the car on a lift.).
    Thanks, and please post any photos you can.

    George Evans is a great guy. He posts here on F-Chat but mainly in the Lamborghini section. His restoration work is pretty amazing. He is just finishing up with Allan's '87 Countach 5000QV (ex-Mario Andretti).

    I'm curious, isn't it better to go for the 5 speed?
