Re: [VintageLambo] Re: Aaron's New Toy

Though it is or was not a factory sponsered car, it is super unusual in the fact that it was raced. Another point, is, it has a well known history through out the Lamborghini world and I think I have seen it in books somewhere. Those facts add up to a collectors item, not just a run of the mill(is there such) Lamborghini. Just my opinion, which if I remember right, are like butt holes, everybody has one.
