    Awesome Michael, the car deserves it. Please note its 12562. When I owned it I always thought this car's finish looked stunning.

    That was my original point, your car is currently Blu Metallizzato (not Tahiti or Acapulco) and the subject of this thread looks to now be in a color exactly like yours.

    Regardless, its beautiful, despite the color question.

    So it returned back to the factory for a repaint, did it have a privat owner when it was Red, or was it owned by Lamborghini?

    Jota, 12562 was completed it red, then pulled aside and painted Bianco Perlato for the 1983 Paris Salon. It was sold (by Lamborghini)to dealer Emilianauto as a new car in Bianco Perlato.

    Now that the paint is done, you'll really make some headway. Amazing work, what a craftsman.

    Latest images from today, assembly coming along now. Original headliner back in with new backing foam. The rear plate holder has been straightened and now in for powder coating. Beginning to look like a car again now!

    Wow the blue/red look will be awesome when it gets put back together. Funny how cars change hue in different lighting :)

    Must say I was a little disappointed when I heard of the colour change to blue...but this looks fabulous.
    Beautiful crisp lines on the body and look forward to seeing the headlights put back in ;-)

    Great effort by the people involved.

    It was a gamble for sure, but I wanted a change from the norm. I am really super happy with the combo get to see the car in person on Sunday.

    remember to re-spray the matt black skewed stripe on top of the side air vent - 90% of shops forget to do this during the re-paint

    The rear engine lid and boot need to be painted plus the ears. Then all the glass surrounds and grilles will be re-painted plus the Naca ducts, door frames etc. The interior needs the door casings re-fitting and then the side panels. A thorough clean then MOT and we should be good to go.

    Lots of little bits that all take time!

    Hum, I don't like that combo ... Sorry.

    And morover, I seldom like red interior, almost never:

    Black exterior with Red interior: Too Batmobile

    Red exterior with Red interior: Too red

    White exterior with Red interior: barely ok


    Blue and white interior are very nice IMVHO ...


    Anyways, congrats if you are happy with it! Enjoy!
