Hi Group - Gus" Espada looks to be the same (or near) color as the S1 Espada owned by Ed Perwein, who hosted the Texas Running of the Bulls last year. His car appeared to be original in color. As for color changes and value, haven"t some of the recent top selling 350/400s had color changes? I noticed that the wrecked 400 of Jacques currently has red interior, while in the Valentino video it is apparently tan.

If you repaint a Lambo a different color than orginal, how does that effect the resale or value potential of said vehicle? I know many purist will say you destroy the value if you repaint other than orginal color. But, if the car is to own, enjoy and drive (and not just a car show queen) then a color change should not matter in the least. Or should it? Enquiring minds want to know!
