Is that black tail section between the taillights normal? This is the second one I have seen like that.

The Princess’ Countach LP400 #1120238 was ordered as a birthday gift for Princess Dalal, the King Saud of Saudi Arabia’s daughter. It was finished in an extravagant color combination of her favorite color “Viola” with white leather interior. Lamborghini delivered the car to Princess Dalal and her husband Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal in California where he was studying before it was eventually shipped to their home in Saudi Arabia.

Did 1120238 ever actually go back to Saudi Arabia? We sold 1120136 to Jurgen W in Germany @ 10 years ago.
That's what the story of 1120238 says... but I must admit I have doubts too... And 1120136 is appreciated as it should be!

1120056 when WG owned it had lots of deferred-maintenance as with most Couintachs I have ever encountered, it needed much TLC, then it went to KR whom I tried to buy it from, finally I purchased it from a Ferrari-collecting Southern Gentleman and I gave the car the love I thought it deserved. With it's factory hotrod engine Motore Potenziato as confirmed in writing by Giampaolo Dallara himself, this was one quick LP400 (!), ex-Lamborghini engineer Claudio Z re-tuned the engine for me, the 2nd fastest Countach I have ever driven. Kept it a few years and sold it to a major European Industrialist who showed it a few years ago @ Villa D'Este to much acclaim and still has it to this day.
