    I found this rather interesting. This is Harry’s tool roll from his QV, which seems like an excellent kit. I found the bulb and fuse pot fascinating. While the vast majority have yellow bottoms, I have seen a number with green, however this is the first example I’ve ever seen with a red bottom.

    I have never seen that before.

    The gloves look like contemporary items from a later era after the Nuova Automobili Lamborghini SpA period.

    Correct, regarding the gloves. The gloves you see were introduced in the Diablo kit and are frequently found in Countach tool kits today, having been acquired by owners at some point to replace the originals. I address this topic in greater detail in posts #5 and #6 of this thread.

    True, but many collector avoid US-EU bumper converted cars...

    Also true, but what GLA12948 has going for it is it was was originally built by Lamborghini SpA as a Downdraft in it's current classic livery.

    Very consistent with a late 88’ car, given the single yellow translucent screwdriver, common in late 88 kits (Anniversary cars often had dual yellow translucent screwdrivers). Also, unique to see the rare black trim gloves.

    Interesting name/stamping on the wrenches. I'm not familiar with them. Still, from the overall look of the kit, I'm not doubting the originality. It looks spot on to me.

    WTB a pair of "NUOVA LAMBORGHINI" branded leather gloves to complete my toolkit for my 1986 DD. I'd be grateful for any leads. Thank you!
