    so they changed a LOT on that car. it looks good now but it would have been nice to keep the original blue hide combo.

    That's my ex P300 20208. Both it and my 40094 had the plates in between the bumper bars but they were personal modifications

    ah thank you.

    how many of these rhd cars had this unique anti-marty feldman gauge layout? one Australian magazine had the standard license plate lamps on a P300 with different orientation of gauges i recall. maybe it was Sportscar Graphic... was yours old P300 the mag test car?

    #40056 was giallo / nero and sold to Dubai when new. It was reported in California in the mid eighties and again around 10 years ago. I guess it was still yellow at that time.

    On my car the fuel comes from the pump in the filter and goes with a ring line to all carbs and near the filler neck inserted a T-fitting from there a line into the neck.

    Is that correct?

    Hello all,

    last Sunday I showed the Museo Lamborghini to some Club members and said a few words about the cars. It was good to feel the fascination that Lamborghini exerts on 'generic' classic-cars enthusiasts.

    Even better was to see that 'my' Silhouette has been resuscitated and is exposed on the first floor of the Museum, looking stunning as ever and in the condition she was when I sold her to Lamborghini; in fact it ìs the first car that you see from outside the glass facade when you drive in with your car.

    I have been told that somebody in the past did dislike my name so much that he he had the Silhouette hidden outside the factory:). Now that he (they) is not there anymore, and I am in good terms with Lambo again, my friends have been all too happy to put her again on display with a nice Urraco P250 and the last Jalpa built, ex-Manrico Zanuso, and the 'Pope' Huracan, in a striking display of 'Baby Lamborghinis' (There is also a P140 on display, but she's on the ground floor). Remembering how many times we did travel together across Europe, me and Federica and then Anna with the Silhouette, Manrico and Elfi with the Jalpa, seeing the 2 cars rubbing shoulders again was a very emotional moment indeed.

    Have a nice day

    Stefano

    Well deserved and long overdue recognition for the Silhouette. It reminds me a bit of the attached photo of 40052 (back when it was mine and red) lording it over lesser vehicles at a show in London back in 2012. (Although the actual reason it ended up on the podium is that the intended Bugatti EB110SS didn't have enough clearance to drive up the ramps!).

    Dear Stefana,

    It is good to see that someone at the factory came back to his mind and put this forgotten diamond back into the museum!

    Is there a possibility to find a "Registro Internazionale Silhouette"sticker somewhere? Or do you have one available for me?

    Hello Martin,

    I'll try and find one for you, but sadly I don't think that I have any RIS sticker left....

    Happy Easter to you all,

    I remember driving my LP400 beside Manrico Zanuso`s Jalpa on the way to Italy together with other members of the Lamborghini Club Germany. As far as I recall the car was in bride yellow with blue (?) interior.

    What a drive....
