    Raymond,
    When replacing your distributor cap and rotor, did you consider using the much cheaper NAPA distributor cap, that others here have indicated will fit?

    WOW, that car looks stunning. What a restoration job. Body lines and door gaps look perfect.

    Orange looks amazing on all the early Lamborghini cars, especially the LP400. That car looks amazing but they forgot to paint that awkward bit behind the little side window black.

    3/4 light (tiny side window) trim looks like it's painted correctly to me. They even got the rocker panel stripe right.

    Over 18K replies and 1.6M views. Other than the Muira I can see not a single car on FChat that has more dialogue. This tells you something, and I'm not sure that that something fortells a thin future market. It do not think it will be that long before we see a 1M Countach.

    I was sure you'd like !!!

    Yes, I perhaps have more period pictures of your car. I'll check.
    And I'll send you them in bigger size + improved scanning quality.

    The engine appears to be out of the car.

    Correct, perhaps the regular service when the heads had to be retighten after ~1000-1500Km.
    Funny enough that I know from the build sheet the engine # of my car but the engine has no number stamped...

    These are mostly images from ILOC magazines, I have all from 1979-2001.
