    I like that too.

    By the way, those Diablo shocks are being laid to rest in a nice box after cleaning :)

    It took a while, but with the help of someone well-informed, my search to identify F 906 ENV has ended. Thank you to the helping party!

    It is ZA9C005A0HLA12102, a 1987 DD, Bianco Polo Park/Bianco, white caulking, silver wheels, standard exhaust, first registered on May the 9th 1988, resident in London and often seen cruising around the Knightsbridge area where it was first spotted in these images 10 years ago.

    I don't know this car, but suppose it's a DD from the Position of the side markers.
    There are rarely 500s around, from the 321 built many had engine issues from the casting sand.

    The position of the front fender side-flashers indicates that it *should* be a DD, but I wondered if you know the car to be sure. Thanks.

    This was standard also on the '86 MY, I was wondering if the gutter below the air vent holes was nody color or flat black.

    Hello Joe, I was wondering what have you have decided regarding the side mirrors? I notice that in Raymond’s pictures that they were painted in the body color like on the 25th, will you go back to satin black paint since the original plastic finish of the Vitaloni side mirrors was probably compromised during the painting process?

    Good question, I say black but will check an original unpainted car to be sure.

    Another good question.

    Bear in mind that once painted, you either need to stick with painted or find a NOS set which remains in black plastic, because they were never painted satin black. That said, DDs were indeed delivered with painted mirrors.

    One more DD that was delivered by the works with painted mirrors was the late 87 HLA12226 new to Alberto Garnerone in Turin, Bianco Perlato (Pearl White) with special leather piping, stitching & inserts, plus Burberry Tartan carpeting.

    At Lamborghini Genève presently with 37,500 km (23,300 miles), Rosso Siviglia/Senape, delivered September 1986, interesting car, obviously repainted, no affiliation.

    Raymond you wouldn't have the chassis number or be aware of this one previously?

    There was a Maserati Bordeaux used in the mid 80's PPG 51214 or Maserati 231.155. Worth a look?
