Did normal maintenance pieces like brakes have to come through their dealer network or was it available from warehouses like common cars? Mercedes-Benz used a mix of Girling and ATE at the same time on the same cars in the '70s and '80s, I guess that one or the other could not supply all of the calipers they needed on the big selling cars like w123 and w126, etc.
Annoyingly, they use very similar but not identical pads and you need to know which ones you have when ordering. These parts and components are still widely available today, though, so I guess it's mass produced stuff vs. Lamborghini.
