    The Swiss cars have the normal Euro spec camshafts. You can always regrind the cams to that spec though or advance the timing.

    This car went through an extensive ground up restoration that included a color change from black to what I believe was its original color silver. I believe when it was acquired for less than $80 it did not run nor move. It would not surprise me if the restoration of this car was well in excess of $100K.

    Big weekend in the U.K. Big events at Blenheim Palace and Hampton Court Palace on the same weekend.

    At Blenheim, there were TWO RHD Lamborghini Countach - a white LP400S, which is the 19th of 19 RHD LP400S worldwide, always white and with one owner until recently. Yellow car is the 10th LP5000S in RHD.

    Robert, correct me please if I'm wrong, but I think the bronze/dark blue/yellow car you are mentioning is the LP400S 1121320 Detail on 1981  Lamborghini  Countach LP400 S  1121320, but, the car at Blenheim registered 304 LOW is in fact an LP500S, a different car, no?

    It is #1121400
    The interior is actually two-tone "Bianco/Blu", slightly visible in the episode Golden Triangle.

    Here's the car in 2001:

    Yep. I've got them mixed up. The car at Blenheim is the yellow LP5000S, not the yellow LP400S.

    I looked at this car back then when it was offered for sale.
    It was the first Countach I ever drove, it was also a basket case of a car at that time.
    However I have been told that its condition has been improved over the years.

    Here is the Rame Colorado Metallizzato 1121098 spotted being driven yet again in Monte Carlo very recently.

    The owner has now replaced it's UK registration (P 245 RBA) with Monaco plates 355 X.

    If we recall, this is the super-low-mileage original LP400S that sold for @ $1 million at auction that many predicted would never be driven.

    Speaking of Monaco, here is a Spring 1982 image I have never seen before, of one of the Formula 1 Grand Prix Pace Cars, this one with a rear plate which says "Garage Palace 331 W 06 Cannes".
