Did you have it repainted in the car's original color? I had a '94 Diablo VT years ago in (what looks like) that same color. Color sticker called it "Oregon Red" and was a pearl orange color like yours. Last I knew of it, we had installed a set of 6.0 wheels on it before delivering to the next owner (which looked killer!). And to continue this thread, I just got in #12454 which is also one of the '96 RWD cars. This one is Super Fly Yellow. Randy

I had that car up at MotorCars in MO in March of '06. It had 15k km's on it at the time. The reverse camera molded into the rear wing was quite clever. Exhaust has been changed since then. Randy

I remember the pearl white one being for sale many years ago in Las Vegas. I also remember a white one being used in a Victoria Secret photo shoot back then too, but not sure it that was a Monterey Edition or not.

Here's what I know directly from the guys that were in the business at the time. Most, if not all, were also finished in non-standard colors. Dealers each ordered one in a unique color. This is where we first saw the Rosso Vik color. Along with Monterey Blue and Verde Scandal too. There was as pearl white one I remember as well. The pearl yellow color that MotorCars International (where I came from) chose for theirs was based on the pearl yellow on a Nissan 300ZX and eventually became the pearl yellow for the Momo Roadsters- along with Rosso Vik.

Congrats, Roy! It's definitely impressive in person. I did want to point out though that all Gallardos have been direct injected since the LP560-4 in '09.

We're selling new cars just about as fast as we get them in. It's kinda funny to see the comments here about how new cars are hard to sell, economy this and that, dealers can't give them away, etc. That's not really an issue for us here in Houston.

No problem! I also received many pages worth of previous service records today including a new clutch and throwout bearing 1k miles ago, several oil changes and fluid changes, starter, clear bra, detailing, etc. Randy

Yes, this is the same 6.0 that Chicago had on consignment. I received a call from it's owner (who I sold it to a few years ago) to pick it up and bring it down to sell it. He's a meticulous owner. Previous to that I had bought it from Lamborghini Washington. No "history" or "story" with this one. Extremely nice example. The front bonnet fit is not uncommon on these. My previous pictures from years ago show the exact same gap too. Randy

Awesome event. Great to see old friends and meet new ones! Our weekend started with a visit from Balboni at the dealership. He was particularly interested in our '66 350 GT. Saturday was our track day at Texas World Speedway with a number of cars and staff provided by Lamborghini USA. We auctioned hot-lap rides at lunch with Balboni in our Aventador which ended up raising over $11,000 in that 1 hour for the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. That evening we attended a private dinner to honor Balboni on his 44th Anniversary with Lamborghini. Sunday was the Lamborghini Festival beginning with lunch at Flora & Muse at CityCentre and then a drive out to the main event at La Tranquila Ranch. Fantastic Weekend!! I have a ton of pictures and videos on our Lamborghini Houston facebook page. Check it out! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lamborghini-...on/145998301871 Randy

Actually, the Diablo VT Roadster that appeared on the original 1996 brochure of that car was in Rosso Targa. It turned a bit pink/purple at some angles. Check out the brochure. The interior looked like a Barbie-mobile.

By the way, your work and attention to detail is absolutely amazing!

I'll help you out.

We've seen our first engine/transmission out. Actually not a big issue in itself. Just a leak. The ISR transmission was pretty cool to see up close.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but on the subject of Grigio Telesto Aventadors, we just delivered one on Tuesday. Grigio Telesto/Black, Black Wheels, Yellow Calipers and Springs. I put a few pictures of it up on our facebook page last night: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lamborghini-...on/145998301871 It looked even better outside under the lights as he was leaving that night!

I can tell you it won't perform the extremely fast 50ms shifts in Corsa mode until it's fully warmed up either. They're more like a Sport mode shift until then. Not that those are very slow, they just feel softer...

Looks like this is a really old topic, but thought I'd chime in anyway. I have a copy of the letter we were sent by Vik Keuylian to all Lamborghini Dealer Principles on November 10, 1999 regarding the Millennium Roadster. "To further boost Lamborghini sales and welcome the new millennium Lamborghini style, we are importing a limited number of Millennium Metallico Roadsters. Only 10 of these Roadsters will be available. They will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. The Roadsters will have the following options: Paint: Millennium Metallico (Best described as light Titanium) Interior: Black seats with Grey inserts and Grey piping Visible carbon fiber wing Sport shorter gear ratio "faster acceleration" MSRP: $299,900" Anyway, there you have it! Randy

Yeah, I wonder if the shop left the keys out to this car and/or it was the easiest one to take. You pretty much have to have the key to take it. That being said, how would the thief know a key and car would be easily available before making his Mission Impossible moves? Wouldn't the building have some sort of security system with motion detectors and door switches? And he left his bag of climbing gear?

Very nice!! We've been waiting for something like this to come out. Randy

Along the Estoque line of thinking, maybe the "-5" is for "5 Seater." Our Lamborghini rep that was here the other day said the Estoque was a no-go at the moment, but then again, that could be the corporate answer.

I wonder if this second picture is a seatback. Maybe from the bottom looking up. ??

Yep! Exact same one. http://www.lamborghinihouston.com/vehicle_...ersary-Countach

I could say a lot of things too...

A '90 Countach would have been a Canadian car originally. I wouldn't go so far as to say they came in to the U.S. "illegally." I've dealt with many that are on U.S. titles now. The Euro front bumper conversion (on an Anniversary car) is very easy. The U.S. bumper simply unbolts and slides right out. Prior to '89, they are integrated into the lower front lip and not simply just an insert. Also, the '90 Anniversary cars didn't come standard with the rear wing like our '89 Anniversary cars did. Concerning price, all the '88 1/2 and up Countachs I've sold in the last 3 years have all brought well over $120k (Including the "Andretti" car.) Many are going overseas. Oh, and Ralph, you may recognize an old friend of yours I have back in my inventory now! Randy

Funny thing is, red calipers aren't available as an option from Lamborghini. Workable choices would be black or silver. Of course, they can always be refinished. I agree though, Andromeda Superleggera would be killer!
