    The car isn't much better, multiple Downdrafts have sold recently for over $1m.

    Cant walk or talk much yet, but knows where the button is for the door to go up, grabs the steering wheel and goes "vroom vroom", and apparently thinks the word "dada" is a synonmyn for the car and me.

    Two questions for fellow owners regarding their hazard light button:

    1 - While your parking lights and/or headlights are OFF and you press the hazard button to activate the external blinking hazards lights, does the red triangle on the button blink?

    2 - While your parking lights and/or headlights are ON and you press the hazard button to activate the external blinking hazards lights, does the red triangle on the button blink?

    To be clear, I know when the parking lights and/or headlights are active, the hazard button is illuminated (as are the rest of the dash buttons), but I'm trying to determine if the red triangle on the hazard switch button ever blinks. Thanks for the feedback.

    Thank you, Rob, for emailing me offline to confirm that the red triangle on his hazard light button DOES NOT blink when the hazards are turned on, regardless of whether the highlights and/or parking lights are turned on. As confirmed by three others, I’m confident that this is the way it’s supposed to be. To be clear, the red triangle on the hazard button does illuminate when the parking and/or headlights are activated, but it does not blink. Thank you.

    Back down memory lane: here's the famed TechArt Blu Acapulco HLA12150 delivered originally on EE.488.AK plates, seen in better times before it was much-modified, I believe this was at one of the Lamborghini Days, by then on German FB.EK 6 plates.

    Another historic image taken on September the 14th 1985 by Frank M, showing a Rosso Speciale/Panna Downdraft on the stand of the German concessionaire Auto Kremer at the Frankfurt show, a little underexposed but great to see.

    The Techart Car is another one (HLA12150), like Leo mentioned this one (FLA12861) is still with the same owners - Lubcon company, except the stickers 100% original. I saw it 2014 at Hockenheim.

    Thanks for the clarification, we'll have to get Marcel to correct the Registry too, indeed I've posted FLA12861 here before.

    Here it is @ Hockenheim on the plates I mentioned.

    FLA12861 shows how desirable an original car can be.

    Raymond says besides the stickers it was "100% original" when he saw it in 2014, please share images showing the interior is not original.
