My old Lambo photos from the 90s

"Lambo's from the 90s" - this neatly includes Diablos.
The first Diablo imported into the UK I'm sure was a red LHD Portman Lamborghini demonstrator.
Then they had two red RHD cars: H789YYM and H790YYM [this being the car on the Alpine stand at all the events].
Then they went through J991 CYR to J996 CYR - missing J994CYR - anyone any ideas? Photos from Portman Lambo in London, Lamborghini Reading and Silverstone Historic Festival.
Robert this is fascinating stuff- sorry for being slightly off topic but do you happen to have any info on what happened after the first batch?The first Diablo imported into the UK I'm sure was a red LHD Portman Lamborghini demonstrator.

Would love to know what came in later (91/92/93 2WD especially)
Hi,
Back again, having scanned a fair few more photos from the earliest supercar test days in 87 and 88.
These are pretty much all Countach photos by the way. I had put them all in a separate album when I was a kid so that they were all largely arranged by car.
Apologies for the image quality of some of these. I had an appalling old 110 (I think?) format camera which had a hopelessly small negative size. Anyway, perhaps it all adds to the nostalgia.
Yes this is me below as a Campari ski jacket sporting, Countach obsessed 14 year old.

It's great seeing the P7s on these cars. Sets them off perfectly.

US spec injection car. As I have stated on another thread, I think this was a hire car at the time, but may have just been a rumour.

Always thought my photos never did justice to the pearl white cars. Was a lovely colour, although I recalled if parked next to a non-pearl white car they did look like they were a little dirty.

Robert - here is a question for you if you are are reading this...
Is Steve Forster's old Countach below, the same one that Vic Sawyer (VFS 141) and Paul Dennis(?) (C416...) owned? I wonder, gven that the car had colour co-ordinated wing mirrors.
Thanks

Ok, here are a few action shots. As I say, never had a decent enough camera, didn't have an SLR at the time, so these shots were tricky and hadn't quite got the panning technique honed.

Final two - I'm guessing this green Anni is the car that is with, or recernly passed through Amari's hands

Right so that is 124 pictures just uploaded. Hope that keeps you going for a little bit.
What is to follow?
Well I have some snaps of other Lambos - Espadas and the like - from the Supercar test days and then after that I have plenty more Lambo ones from the 90s Silverstone Historic festivals.
Something for the new year.
Marry Christmas everyone!
Thanks

Was one of them really pink - or is that just the way the photo reproduced?Fantastic set of photos - looking forward to the next installment.
