Yes, but cars like women, WE all have different tastes......so love what you like like what loves you.....

for me the early ct does nothing, othe than cost to much for upkeep and to hot to take a 6 hour real ride in........

But IT is still a LAMBO

Well I drove my CT 800km from the netherlands back to switzerland when we joined the viva italia in 2002 and 2003...

There is not that much difference between a QV and a 25th except the bodywork which looks awful IME.
Both models share the same AC, engine etc. Heat insulation is perhaps a bit better on the 25th but this can by improved once the engine is out...

Mine is for sure better insulated than any 25th

Raymond,

25ths aren't really better so don't fret...they are 25ths....same as Murci 40ths....the Murci 40ths have the wierdest paint of any Lambo ever...it's not really ugly or really pretty, it's just different and a 40th! But if I won the Lotto I'd buy a 40th

The 40th Murci was really only a badge but the 25th got some quite good improvements like the way the air boxes were placed etc, otoh the luggage compartment is a joke.

I drove both, the 25th is not a milisecond better on the road than a QV.
Funny is, they changed the firing order, the 25th engine sounds odd than a QV more like a Diablo engine.

On the QV currently on Ebay - did anyone notice that the dash was modded to the later 1986 model by cutting a gluing the new generation corners. Mine GLA12988 was one of the last "older" dash CTs - Raymond's was one of the first w/ the new generation side vents. Since the QV for sale is much earlier than mone it is evident - especially since they did not actually glue the dash, just cut and fitted the new piece - that it was modded

See pictures - mine is the tan interior while the white interior is off e-bay.

Alex,

you are wrong, the VIN of this car is ZA9CA05A1GLA12025

This means it is younger than even mine, after GLA12999 the continued with GLA12001...this means this car was produced around July 1986, GLA12034 was produced in August.
