Thanks - I'm in New Zealand where we only banned it in 2016 and I didn't know about EU rules.

It seems unlikely that Lambo would use asbestos. I had made an off-the-cuff bet against a pig-headed acquantance that asbestos brakes were banned here before I knew anything. He rang up his mate with a Lambo who had some other story!

NZ has some import exceptions but it looks to me that the exceptions are mostly for something like QC training kits for recognising asbestos: https://www.worksafe.govt.nz/topic-and-industry/asbestos/imp...
