    I have a mutual friend with the original owner of the car, back then the only dealership for export to the middle east was in London.

    I have a brief understanding of the cars history which I won't disclose publicly for the privacy of the original owner and the cars history.

    Understood, and I think I am aware.

    FWIW the car used to be white (Bianco Polo Park).

    I think you mean HLA12079 is the Stéphane Ratel Downdraft?

    If so, many thanks! Another one identified.

    Unfortunately I'm not aware of the VIN of either the ex-Bahrain blue car that resides in the UK, or, the blue one that still resides in Bahrain which I posted earlier.

    The one I know of was in the same blue but with white interior, sold to Qatar.

    Maybe it's the same car that was completely restored with new blue interior ?

    I don't know which one you mean with the "new blue interior".

    So do I!

    I think we are getting our cars mixed up, but I see which one you mean, so that Downdraft is no longer in Bahrain as it has now been sold to Qatar - good to know.

    I'm looking for the chassis number of this 1985 or 1986 Rosso Siviglia Downdraft with chromed badges, previously seen with Monaco plates, any info appreciated.

    the only two Countach there*, and we met at the entry gate from opposite directions at the same time, both expecting to be the only Countach!

    *there were at least 7 F40s and more Mclarens and Astons than I could count.......
