    I am trying to track down the paint color that I saw years ago on a countach. It is a deep blue, but still a very vibrant color. The car had a connlley white interior, but cant remember the name of the paint color. Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

    70ies, please! There never was a "Miura Blue" on a Countach. "Blue Tahiti" was only with the Miura. The De CiCillia-car in Austria is painted in this darkblue The Rig requested.

    as per the Lamborghini Registry...

    LP500QV chassis #12424 was indeed painted Miura Blue with white interior

    LP400S2 chassis #DGM14753 was painted Blu Tahiti with white interior

    LP400S1 chassis #1121096, #1121092, #1121076 and #1121016 were Blu Tahiti

    LP400 chassis #1120054, #1120154, #1120290 were all Blu Tahiti

    OK, got me! Have mercy with me! But - S2 and S1 were not the requested cup of coffee? Also the colors were requested ONLY for the LP 400 and a QV was later than the 70ies!!!

    LAM. *0002 Candy Apple Blue Mic 2CT (88) This is the closest paint code and color I have been able to find. Though its not very impressive from the sample. Alcupolco is too dark. I wasnt able to find anything under blue ischa?? I have been googling like crazy but cant seem to find it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and if anyone knows where this can be found please let me know!

    I don't see in his original post that he was requesting colors for only the LP400?

    I remember a while ago watching a Top Gear episode where James May tested a LP400S (chassis #1121418) which is painted Bugatti Blue with white leather guts. This may be the car you're looking for.

    Hmmm, I've got a photograph of a blue countach with white interior too. Its the other countach, no spoiler, has the side sills and the split rim alloys. The blue colour of this this is absolutely gorgeous, even nicer than that in the video above (IMO). Very vibrant and rich, not too dark, not too light!

    Saw it at the Londone motorshow some 10 or so years ago, think it was being auctioned or something!
