More work, of course, but you'll likely net more from the collection if you sell each item individually, imho
Years ago, someone told me, they made a business trip to Pittsburgh. One of the clients the person met with, had a complete Miura engine, in their lavish office, all detailed, with a glass over it, as a coffee table. I did the same thing a few years back, with a complete Jaguar V-12 engine. Turned out really great, then some one made me a offer for my Jaguar coffee, I couldn't refuse. Dang! Wish I'd kept it.
Pretty cool stuff guys! I am in the process of doing a light garage remodel that has some Lamborghini influence, I will post some pics soon!
Are you planning to leave the Lambo community ? May I advise you to create a new Thread about your offer ? Put it also as a whole basket on Ebay and the others Lambo forums... For sure, you can also individually target some people by PM on this forum, may be someone might be interested. Some times ago, I was thinking to sell the whole stuff too, but I revised and keep them for another year...
No, no, Olivier, not at all ! Maybe just shifting interests, but I might also keep the fabulous collection. After all it is complete, mint, extensive, unique, and without dealer stamps ... I took me 30 years to collect; I would want it to get a passionate new owner. If not, then I will be that passionate owner for many years to come, hopefully.

Oliver, is that yellow LP500 body shell you have in the perspex case a Bertone original? Looks 1/12th scale. Love the little (presumably) 1/43rd scale models too. I collect 1/18 but sometimes I wish I had collected the smaller scale as they take up less room. It would probably just mean more models crammed in though! There's certainly more variety in 1/43. Nice display of curios too BTW, especially the gauges. Wonder why Lamborghini changed the logo design. I like the vintage badge a lot more and it would certainly look at home on the modern cars.
nice! any close up pics? i would love to take a better look!....love this stuff! i have to take a pic of my current showcase
1:16 (i think, the scale is not reported on it) diablo model cast aluminum on a wood base Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
the numbered edition has a number on it In the lower right corner. Also it is on thick, rough paper; it's a lithography. Further it does not come rolled in a tube but in a dedicated 40th anniversary cardboard folder with ribbon closure... To me it looks like you don't have the limited edition.
Emilio, can you please measure the length of this model? It looks scary like the one i have from Michel Sauze.
