    The white rear badges are factory correct. I was surprised also.

    Did the 88 1/2 DD Countach cars come with an aluminum front trunk? My ‘86 DD has the very light composite trunk (kevlar)?

    I see this 88 1/2 for sale that has the aluminum trunk. The 25th as well have the older aluminum front trunk lids if I recall.

    Hello Sir Sackey. Lamborghini delivery a certificate of vehicle original configurations for the GLA12997 and says that this Countach is painted in Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Speciale. Is that an error ? Thank you for your time.

    The COC clearly mentions Bordeaux Speciale.

    Moise, the correct full color is Bordeaux Speciale, don't worry that the Certificate only says Bordeaux, Lamborghini are notorious for their records errors & omissions, other factory PS records describe the car as red!

    We verified the color's name from Lamborghini SpA's original build sheet, the COC, private ex-factory employee records etc.
