I agree orange is fantastic. The black accents work great with it and all of the grooves where panels meet give the car a real crisp look. Let's not forget that orange was Frank Sinatra's favorite colour. Certainly if it is good enough for the Chairman Of The Board.....


If you like the orange, here is a little wall paper for you:

once again i am with Raymond

orange is wonderfull on early pure lp400 body, it simply isn't right for later cars

I have to be clear that my like for orange is only for the LP400. The later cars with the wheel flairs make orange not the right colour. I can't imagine seeing an anniversary car in orange.

It now says black is the top choice running neck to neck with red. Mine is an 88.5 black/black QV and I think it looks great. They do show the dust though!!!

Honestly, black is the worst color for almost any car, especially the Lambo. It hides all of the curves, flares, ducts etc., making the car a "no show" at night especially. In all honesty, no color ruins a Countach like black. I'll never forget the first time I saw one. It was parked near a white one, a red one, and a yellow one at Joe Nastasi's in NY. All I could think was how bad I felt for the owner of the black one. Compared to the others, it wasn't even there.
