    Over the years since owning FLA12840 I have never been able to locate another factory original round body ( with NO ground effects 88 1/2 or anniversary ) Bianco/Nero DD Countach anywhere in the world. I have seen (very few ) other models in this color combination but NEVER the original round body DD. Would you have any documents that show another one in the world?

    You may be right! Super rare. I believe FLA12872 was Bianco on Nero but sadly this car disappeared many years ago.

    Rare indeed! QV DD Bianco - Nero without skirts... Only 6, at most! Out of 630 QV in total.
    FLA12800, FLA12821, FLA12840, FLA12847, HLA12124, and maybe JLA12208.

    FLA12872 had in fact a blue interior.

    Interesting !!! It would seem Bianco/Nero would be a very popular desirable color combo. I’m suprised so few were produced.[/QUOTE]

    I think there are just five (5) Downdrafts without side-skirts in the Bianco/Nero livery.

    JLA12208 has side skirts, and if you are talking about side-skirt Downdrafts, there are others in Bianco/Nero such as JLA12305 & JLA12307 for example, and a few others besides.

    Correct, even though they made every variant of Countach from LP400 to 25th in this livery, the total number is lower than expected.

    Hold on.. so JLA 12208 is a skirted car? Skirts from the factory? Because JLA 12210 is a round body.
    (a friend of mine has an 88.5 Bianco Nero.. great combo!)

    That's a great question because I cannot absolutely confirm JLA12208 has factory side skirts but I'm fairly sure it does.

    Bear in mind also that production sequence was not faithful to progressive chassis number sequence.

    It seems there were a few more JLA prefix cars in Bianco/Nero, such as JLA12263, JLA12266, JLA12353 etc.

    On its way to Miami. The former Jean Claude Mimran LP400 S, which was famously used as one of the Monaco Grand Prix Intervention cars. Less than 5,000 original miles, we plan on preserving the cars original paint, stunning original Blue interior and completing a full mechanical restoration. Oh, and adding 1980s-era Police lights and period correct graphics... : )

    The famous #1121314 reappears in public, great news and congrats.
    Also great to know that this car is still in original livery unlike Patrick Mimran's #1121312, which was repainted white and has now a red hide, what a pain to see this. One of only nine Rame Colorados which such a history must be brought back to live as well.

    Will be excited to share progress and arrival photos.

    Wow! Repainting a Rame Colorado car is almost criminal...

    I had heard that 1121312 was back to Rame Colorado or going back to it, but cannot verify this, either way I wont be surprised to see this historic car return to it's former glory.

    There is in fact an LP400S S3 that has recently been painted Rame Colorado in France, I'm not sure if that was it's original color.

    The Rame Colorado car in Malaysia is now a non-Lamborghini Gold.

    There is also an LP400S S1 that should be Blu Acapulco which is now Rame Colorado in the USA.

    A client of mine has an original Rame Colorado LP400S S1 that went to red many years ago that has recently been painted back to Rame Colorado.

    Final tally: 9 built, perhaps 10 in existence?

    They should be horse-whipped, er, I mean bull-whipped.

    I can’t tell you how many people told me “just get a downdraft and paint it the color you want”. “Stop obsessing with finding the right color”. Wrong. They came from the factory a certain way. That’s how they should remain. Bravo for taking her back to the proper spec.
