    @ 10 years ago I was invited to a discreet California warehouse to view a car collection of some 25 cars.

    Amongst them was this July 1989-build 1989 25th Anniversario with just 84 miles/136 kilometers on the odometer, it really was like new.

    I didn't buy the 25th, but I did buy that 288 GTO (56331) behind it with just 1,000 miles

    It was an eclectic collection, I was only there to look at the Countach & the GTO, however I do recall an F40 and Enzo as well, a number of Porsches and vintage USA muscle-cars besides, the entire collection is long gone though, he became bored with cars and got into vintage aircraft.

    Richard Earl's first-and-last Countach collection.

    He's owned the LP400 for @ 30 years, and in 1989, he ordered a RHD 25th Anniversario in matching Arancio livery, a car he still owns

    Fascinating. Pagani’s cohesive redesign is best appreciated with a wingless car sitting side by side with the original model. No doubt awkward to photograph, but are there more “first and last” photos around?

    Sure, I've posted a few in this thread.

    I should have clarified, Richard still owns both cars, the LP400 is 1120106, and the 25th is KLA12958, seen here coming down the 'line in early 1990

    When I had KLA12670 I made some detailed images of the books & tools and they are posted within this thread.

    These tool images come to hand from the archives

    Very kind to post these. Thank you.

    Are the earlier photos you posted not the tools, or is there an additional tool roll?

    Those are the tools but it's hard to see the individual items the way they have been photographed

    Looks like Paris. Very stringe plates that look like inverted white on black Schwytz swiss plates, with stems, close to the ones from Liechtenstein.
