I've recently bought a RHD 5000QV which doesn't have the rear wing fitted. Its currently painted red but not its original red. As part of the deal I got a respray thrown in. I'm considering a moderately rare colour, Acapulco blu. I'm also considering having a re-trim, changing from its very 1980s white leather to some sort of tan. Undecided on silver wheels or some sort of light bronze.

My question is this: how important is originality in colour - inside and outside - for a Countach? In Ferrari world, originality seems to be a BIG DEAL but my sense is that Lambo owners/buyers don't really care as much.

Any views welcome!
