    I't seven of nine Rame Colorado cars and the only RHD, finding this one again is like winning in the lottery.
    Originally the badges were black as can be seen in the factory images.
    Great find since hardly any pictures of this car are available.

    I thought it's been established that the car went to Malaysia registered CP 3 there?

    What is CP 3 there? I have information that the Lamborghini Countach LP400S Series 2 RHD 1121186 left the Lamborghini factory on November 5, 1980, completed in Rame Colorado (amazing rust-bronze color) with senape interior (tan). 1 out of 19 LP400 produced in RHD, and 1 out of only 3 Series 2 cars. The car was repainted white many years ago and still lives in Australia.

    Sorry, I checked my archives, different car.

    Correct, I see the car is now Bianco with Senape interior.

    There isn't any additional information on the Countach Register, all that exists are the images of the car at Sant Agata in May (not November) 1980 when the photographer Frank Wittzak and family visited and let with Valentino Balboni there.

    What's most interesting about 2 of the images is they offer proof that by 1980, Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini SpA was reduced to assembling FIAT 127 Rustica's to keep the lights on before the Mimran money arrived.

    Very useful information. Did Frank Wittzak take this photo too? Who bought the car Frank Wittzak? Who is the first owner of 1121186?

    Valentino Balboni probably stands in the middle. In short shorts, a person can be a buyer of 1121186.

    In the 1980s, Balboni was the only test pilot who was simultaneously engaged in prototype development, production and customer service at Lamborghini. He became the face of the brand and an ambassador for Lamborghini. "customer service". So he was definitely handing over cars to customers

    No, these people are the parents of Frank Wittzack, having a little chat with Valentino while Frank was making pictures of the car.

    Just found this picture...obviously it is the LP400 S Series 1 1121038 on Roma plates. But I wonder if this is a picture of the car when it was new, or a recent picture. Only one mirror on the drivers side, but the right mirror could have been cut of by photoshop...Joe?

    This is 1121038 when we owned it circa 2010, I think the illustrator deleted the passenger door mirror.
