Chiaro Blue

[Mattymouse33]

So what does the modern day Lamborghini enthusiast think of Chiaro Blue?

I have seen pictures and dismissed it but saw it in person yesterday and it blew me away.

Gather its available on Ferraris too.

You like or not?

I'm biased, but I do think the mid shades of blue suit all Lamborghini's.

I didnt realise it was such a rich paint. It also changes a lot with light.

Not sure what colour this 6.0. I lost the thread on L-chat.

which car did you look at mat, email if you want

[evil_dr_fish]

Very similar to mine.

Looks awful... you don't want it! They should destroy all the other Diablos in similar blues so mine will be the only one!

Not many of these around apparently. Will check the registry however what reliance I should place on it I dont know.

Mine is Bonsai Blue - I've been told it's the only only RHD in the world in this colour.

I think there may be ONE other out there but I'm pretty sure it's a left hooker...

[evil_dr_fish]

Matt, it that the one I recommended you to see? If so, it should be a nice car.

I saw that car at the 50th(?) Ferrari Anniversary festival at Silvertone. I have a pic of it somewhere. Will try and dig it out. I actually thought it was stunning in the metal, but not really a "keeper" colour.

Some nice blues









And there's a car in here somewhere

[Mattymouse33]

So does anyone know the Chairo Blue car that Top Gear is selling at the moment? Its the one piictured in the 3rd and 4th pictures of the first post. It use to have large chrome wheels on it.

Any help is much appreciated.

The chiaro blue used on Ferraris around in the eighties was a different blue than the Lamborghini chiaro blue.
That Diablo mentioned, looks like bonzai blue to me (like Robin's Diablo). The Ferrari chiaro blue, often used on the old Ferrari 400is, 308s etc was a lot more royal blue.






They look similar in the pictures, but in the metal, the Lamborghini is a brighter blue.

Don't have any personal dealings with them but a few Lambo owners who have dealt with him recommend him highly, I'm sure someone will be along with some thoughts soon.

PS. You just can't go wrong with blue on a Lambo

...Matty - surely you've had enough business dealings and communications with Carlo at TopGear to know you needn't ask here for any information about that vendor?

Also, I'm not sure what kind of a screen/monitor PompeyBlue is using, but the Chiaro blue of EDF's Diablo and the Diablo VT at TopGear are several shades lighter than the blue that Lamborghini sold as 'Bonsai' in the 1980's and before... which was also several shades lighter than the 'Acapulco' blue of many Countachs and Jalpas which looks closer in colour to that Ferrari...

Not questioning Carlo at all or Top Gear, just wondering if anyone knows of the car?
