    Sometimes it's not all bad if a repainted car was not brought down to metal.....It's always nice to sand down and discover the original color.

    I don't know the chassis number, but it's at Cairati Milano.

    Authorized dealer network service centers.

    Very true, a sympathetic approach should be taken with stripping, in some cases you'd don't even have to strip, the original paint is hiding under seals and panels, that's how we discovered the true Bordeaux Speciale of the Mimran Downdraft.

    LP500S.

    Someone's treasured memorabilia, as shared with me today.

    The late great Bobby Wallace (along with Paolo Stanzani and Marcello Gandini) was definitely one of the Fathers of the Countach

    Excellent article in Road & Track's Exotic Cars: 2 published in 1984, showing the goings on @ Nuova Automobili Lamborghini during the manufacture of the LP500S
