    I pictured that car in Monaco during the 1984 F1 Grand Prix weekend. I still remember how the interior smelled like brand new. I had a few pictures of this car enlarged and framed, they were on my bedroom wall for years. So this is a VERY special car from my youth, sweet memories!

    I also still have the original plates and frame from Achilli Motors that came with my car. I wish Achilli had out the Lamborghini logo on their frames in addition to the Rolls Royce logo. Still love having it regardless.

    It is, knowing this car since 2 decades... the former owner had her painted in yellow, sold her and then got crashed, now restored to original glory.

    Some pics from the past, including original state that time owned by Rysanek of FAB Design

    Signed by Ferruccio Lamborghini on September the 9th 1988, PPG 2.463.012 Canna Di Fucile Metallizzato originally, but it appears the current color is tinted lighter with more grey than the original as revealed in direct sun.

    I think with a red interior that might be my top choice color combo. Any idea what color interior the other car is?

    I think there might actually be 3 Canna Di Fucile cars, in addition to FLA12860 there's FLA12823 which I've never seen images of and FLA12824 which is well-known, FWIW the latter car's color is written down in some records as Nero Speciale and that car has a Nero interior.

    Looks a lot like my car. Love seeing them being driven. Had mine out at caffeine and carburetors in New Canaan CT last week. So happy to have a one again. Mistakenly sold my 84 three years ago. Won’t make that mistake again.

    As Valentino says that's why they made them.

    JLA12287 is an original Canna Di Fucile "Downdraft" delivered new to the Al-Thani family. We recently purchased the car and will be sending it to Italy for a full restoration. Late production car delivered to Dubai in December of 1988, finished with Nero interior. I have some period photos of the car I will post.
