    This looks like a French-delivered car.

    Yellow, what a great color on a 25th. That DD deck lid takes top honors, looks great, like something out of Blade Runner.

    It is indeed. Here is 123 FAB on the way to Le Mans looking slightly battle-scarred (missing DS door mirror).

  9. Silver on red has to one of the best color combos on a Countach imo. Nice

    Thank you. I have known this very car for almost 20 years, and after spending quite a bit of time around it in the last 7 months I must say it looks better now than it did when I first saw it. I could take any Supercar in Argento/Rosso.

    Not former, still have it.
    We are in fact enjoying the QV enroute to Rome. Staying in Pienza for a few days now.
    Hope to meet some of you fellow lchatters when here in Italy, either in Rome or Bologna.

    Joe,
    There has been a wide array of information posted as to what a full service entails. Could you give me an idea as to what they did and an approximation as to the costs. The car looks great!

    A full service, or more specifically, catching up on all deferred maintenance is different for each car.

    This car started life in a museum (below) and then went on to be a concours-winning car for 14 years. So its had a very pampered life compared to some. But there was till plenty of small things wrong with it by 2012, despite all but 5,000 miles.

    In the last year its had:

    - Fluids service

    - Fuel system service (new fuel distributor, new warm up regulator, fuel filter, etc)

    - AC system service & recharge

    - Electrical issues resolved (everything from removing an alarm system that caused cutouts & stalling to fuses to bulbs needing replacement)

    - Sports exhaust system (deleting cats & muffler, fitment of sport exhaust & tuning).

    - New tires (4 new Pirelli PZeros, 3412 date code = August 2012 manufacture).

    I haven't stopped to add up everything, but I'd say we have spent over $10k on it thus far on time & materials.

    Beautiful engine detail Joe. Are these cast components stock, added on the 25th cars?

    Joe are the flexible intake boots that run from these cast elbows to the throttle bodies available.

    Peter the correct answer for me is I don't know, because I have never had to order any and ours are not deformed or deteriorated yet. At any rate, my reliable parts source for our era car is: Lamborghini Parts Department
