    Beautiful colour. Only one was ever produced in Rio Verde if I'm correct?

    Joe: If this is Rio Verde, do you happen to know the paint code?

    I'm not sure about that, but another car, 1120012, comes to mind

    I'm not sure the Canada car is actually Verde Rio Metallizzato, I have no way of telling, but my records tell me the PPG paint code for this color as used on Lamborghinis in the 70's is 2.444.534, hope this helps

    That's this S/N I had in mind when I wrote the comment. I thought this originally French LP400 was the only one of this colour.

    My guess is that the car being repainted is 112076 Verde Met consigned to Carrie Canada...

    Thanks Joe. I may go by the paint store and see if they can find it.

    Apparently so

    Indeed.

    Rio with more gold in it was prettier IMO

    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows the VIN of this car? It has a unique interior colour choice (might be white but appears in the photo as a light grey). Seems to be an RHD LP400S (based on the door cards). It has no AC outlets on the side of the centre console.
    I have only been able to find the one image on the web (which is a dead link to pinterest).

    Could be - I am just not aware of any RHD LP400 with white interiors - according to the various registries there were none - however this doesn't mean one hasn't been re-trimmed.

    Interesting. The rear lenses look like LP400 ones. I.e. doesn’t have the small reflector under the centre lens.

    Ha and I’ve just noticed 1120026 has later ones. Perhaps they could do a swap.

    (Unless I am incorrect in my knowledge of the rear lenses)

    Cheers

    Your knowledge of Countach rear lenses is excellent

    In fact this is simply a red plexi glas Piece.
    At the time of the LP400 cat eyes were not required, later they became mandatory.
    The factory sells only the newer Units, but it's a simple thing to have the old style reproduced.
