Lamborghini Silhouette
Discussion
I see one of the prototypes - 40002 - is up for auction in a couple of weeks. Looks absolutely splendid.

Is there much difference between this and the production versions?

There are differences between each of the prototypes and of course the production cars but both were based on P300 chassis/body units. They both retain the P300 electrics in the front compartment. Externally the trailing edge of the rear arches is different. Internally they both have two gauges, fuel and clock, between the speedometer and rev counter plus red switch labels and chrome rimmed warning lights and the heater controls are on the sub-dash. This car has P300 window switches. The first prototype retains the deep roof indent from the snorkel car. There are other differences and they can be distinguished one from another if you know what to look for - even when repainted, perhaps done to give the impression of more cars...Spotters should also realise that they have the early front bumper...https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0816-244494/1976-lamb...

I can't believe no one has posted any images of this car at Silverstone last weekend. It's fair to say, to me, that seeing this car was worth the entry fee alone.
Congratulations to the owner on getting this car back to its original colour and the gold wheels are simply perfect. It looks incredible and I have no idea how long I spent watching, drooling, snapping this car.
I love the Silhouette and I love this colour.
Sorry there are so many shots but hey, this is what car forums are for right.
I genuinely can't wait to see it in the flesh again.

I've always had a soft spot for the Silhouette, it always looked so right. I owned one back in the late 1970s/early 1980s, was a scale model and took me ages to glue together but I was well chuffed with it.
Yep, picked up my copy yesterday. Great article and the car just looks amazing. I'm glad Henry did the feature.
First time in almost 'ever' that I just picked up the mag from the shelf and went straight to the counter. Normally I have to thumb through it first.
Hope the Convoy II trip was good and look forward to receiving CAR to read that.
