    Maestro Valentino graced us with a visit today.

    Honestly, spend an hour with this man and the wealth of Lamborghini knowledge which is shared is priceless!

    We are humbled by his attention and encouraged by how impressed he was.

    Although he wouldn't let on, I think this was a bit of an emotional reunion for him as Patrick Mimran was a boss he was particularly fond of (& vice versa) and this car is one he remembers clearly.

    Slightly off-topic, but the car you can see behind the 2 doors for GLA12997 is in fact the famed Ferrari 250 GT LWB TdF s/n 1321GT, headed for Laguna Seca this weekend.

    So awesome Joe! Love how much attention the car is getting. Great to see the legend himself at the shop! Also these images are helping me out a lot with my 3D model. You might get your hand on a 1/4 scale model of YOUR car on day ;)

    Just astonishingly good work! What a car. I am biased, but I love the white badges. Very happy for you, Joe.

    Please share as many shots of the front trunk area as you can: particularly given we have the same audio systems and presumably similar wiring. I have a little bit of work to do on this during the Winter.

    Could also use any jack/toolkit leads anyone might have. Evidence suggests that they both went missing in the early 90's during the period when the car was owned by someone who spent a lot of time abroad. A familiar tale...

    Absolutely stunning!

    At this stage, why don't you try to take a similar picture as this one when it was on the assembly line? Complete with the fabrication order affixed to the fender!

    Incredible re-birth.

    Thank you John.

    I will take images of the wiring and perhaps my guys can advise. If we make it over to the UK this winter I'd love to visit and perhaps I can lend a hand tinkering with you!

    Interestingly you can buy many of the tools individually on EBay and assemble a kit http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144486655-post1730.html inexpensively that way.

    I have heard of pristine kits such as the one I have http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144486661-post1731.html & http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144486664-post1732.html & http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144486671-post1733.html & http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144486676-post1734.html & http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144486702-post1735.html going for as much as as $20,000 :eek:

    We will have to do that!

    We will also eventually get the yellow-topped battery in place with correct sticker.

    All in good time.
