then please share the extra information you have to make it (more) complete. it is the most complete list I know of.
The list of colours may be complete (who knows?) but the "dates used" are inaccurate for the older colours + there is often no picture of the colour. This makes if difficult to find the correct colour unless you know the name of the colour and the original code - hence my post. Rather than "date used" I would prefer to see "used for model" on the list.
I found this on ebay a few years back. The bottle is still full as the smell is terrible. Proper Lambo cologne should smell of leather, oil and petrol (but not too much). Image Unavailable, Please Login

Thanks Eric - that must be some collection you have there! I'm not sure how any of this might help others to find the modern day equivalent but at least we now have a list of the Diablo colours on record.
Just got this, do any of the experts know if these were given out to SE30 owners or available to anyone? It's in a nice matt black embossed bull sleeve and approximately A3 size.

If anyone is interested in the paint codes, I've taken a long time to compile a more complete list of the paint used on Lamborghini models. They are listed by name, putting a specific shade onto a specific model is almost impossible as shades were used on more than one model and a special order could have a Murcielago shade on the Gallardo for instance (we had an orange Gallardo Spyder over here with the Murciélago Arancio paint on it) Right now there are almost 200 paint codes in the list ... I also would like to thank Jasper, Stefan and several other Lamborghini fans out there for their help on putting it all right. Feel free to take a look at : http://www.lambocars.com/pnt/lamborghini_paint_codes.html
These were available to anyone, not just for owners. The embossed portfolio/sleeve does not belong to this brochure, but to the Diablo VT brochure(s - there are supposed to be a double sided sheet and a 4 page foldout in it). The sleeve also comes in a (very rare) variation without the embossed bull. The SE30 brochure came originally in a dedicated enveloppe, white, with the SE30 logo on it.

Hmm, seems like the one I've got then is a combination of two different brochures and sleeves. Nothing else with it, just the black sleeve and the double sided poster. It's still very nice though. Thanks for the information.
Nice find. I have several of these posters and most of them came with the same black sleeve like yours. I also got one with the white envelope, but this one came also within the black sleeve together with other items . I think it was just used by Lamborghini during this period in the '90s, and not specifically for the VT brochures only
Hi J That's interesting if you have several the same. It suggests that whatever was available at the time (from the factory/supplier) was used, whether it was the white or black sleeves. In the poster there's a nice model car, do you know who made that model? Happy New Year to you. SAB
Second photo, top centre, looks like a model on a plinth. I've just looked at it again and I admit, I'm really not sure if that is a real car or a model!
The black sleeve is often offered with this, and even with all 3 mentioned brochures in it, probably because of them being the same size and time period. Perhaps there were more 30SE posters printed than white envelopes, or only the ones coming from the factory came with the white envelope... same story btw for the (large, pink) Diablo Roadster brochure, which also has a dedicated envelope usually not offered with it...
