    Bob Wallace was already wearing light blue overall... in the '60s, from "Dunlop"... then the factory keep the idea of light blue and added such patch... these were given at factory to my father in 1970 !

    I don't see it on Albion's website, but anyway, even if this S2 #112.1134 is sold for 650.000 € the asking price, I was wondering your thoughts in comparison to the RM S1 #112.1096 ?

    an S2 for 650.000 € / 812,000 USD with a low mileage, 2 owners but unfortunately no detailled engine bay that looks so dirty and greasy

    vs

    an S1 with a price gap from 600,000 USD to 800,000 USD in the shape already described, but with Bravo wheels but no Stewart Warner gauges

    according to you, will it mean a better S2 worthes more than "as is" S1 ?

    Any textile manufacturers here? I'm sure we'd have more than a few here interested in buying these!

    Sorry for a bit of OT question, is this interior roof lamp on the LM002 is also used in the Countach ? The size is about 15.5cm x 3cm

    Thanks.

    It's not the same as the Quattrovalve. Not sure about the early cars or the 25th anniversary.

    The light on the Quattrovalve was also used in the Jalpa.

    Thanks for the info Mike.
    I would guess that mine is used in a Fiat, Alfa or Lancia. But I still don't know which model.

    Why are the running/turn signal lights backwards?

    He's not the only one. Mine have been backwards before I bought it. Probably we're cooler :)

    Very interesting....but why?
    What is the date?
    Is that a LHD or RHD car?
    Knock down assembly for South Africa perhaps?
    Why does the Urraco not have side louvres?

    There's a white/white Countach with a California plate "LAMBO4J" at the LA Auto Show, South Hall. Forgot to snap a pic.

    After viewing these photos, then thinking about the Urraco and the Countach there, I usually don't put them together in terms of coming out the same time. Plus the Jarama......it suddenly hit me.....damn, Lamborghini was trying to push out a lot of new cars in very short amount of years. All while continuing with the others.

    Wasn't the prototype red to begin with and then repainted green? In this photo I kind of looks as if it could be green?
    Never seen these old photos before. Could another Lamborghini book be on the way perhaps?

    I wish I could answer all your questions with certainty but I just received these and am doing some research. I should be able to scan full-size images soon also.

    The slide appears to be marked "1975", and I think it is indeed a RHD South Africa bound.

    I have no idea about the Urraco's disposition.
