Number plate of this Gallardo?

Wanted to do an MOT Check. V100 FOK?

The govt site is saying it's not correct.

That's what I'd say it was as well.

If the number plate has been put back on retention, so that the car had reverted to its original plate (which you'd want to do before you sell the car), I imagine that might give you the error you get on the MOT checker site?

Wondered that. I guess the only option would be to message the seller. Just trying to work out why the price is set as such. Maybe the mileage is quite "high" (I think it's just right as it means it's been used).

Thanks. Can you access the MOT Check site?

Check that the registration you entered is correct.

As already been said they could be high mileage average cars for that sort of money but not much more will buy something much better.

Well - "something much better" being a lower mileage example? I'd rather not have a Gallardo with 15k on it.

Or if you mean a Huracan, I can't make the man maths work for me this time.

I do ideally want an older Gallardo as I prefer the engine.

Due 23 April 2025 ,tested at 67622 miles.

Suomething that seems a bit unusual, lowish use for several years, then 2011/12 an 11k between mots and then a 26k between mots! Could just be someone whos bought it and used it well. Then back down to minimum use over the years.

Also aound that time not mot'd for a few 6month gaps?

Thanks, appreciate the info.

I would guess the same. Dunno about the 6 month gaps. SORNed because expensive to run?

Hoofy if you can wait a year I'll sell you mine

Probably would take me a year to sort myself out, anyway. I'm still really, really attached to my Porsche. (No, I'm not sitting in it right now but you know what I mean.)

Summer car ?

Yeah, that could also explain it. Guess the first thing you do after getting it out of storage is MOT and service?

I would have thought they would have appreciated by now but that doesn't seem to be the case .

There's also another one from memory also RHD on "Car & Classic for £49,950 in purple,

Would link it but haven't a clue how to, probably a colour change or maybe a rap who knows ,.

Wrapped, originally black.

Part of me thinks, "That's how you do Lambo!"
Another part of me thinks, "Grow up!"

How big are your balls?

A bit too dear with the mileage IMO

Yeah, I think they're going on the fact that the new engine has only had 60k on it. My concern is that it's another 60k with the same knackered cat. It doesn't mention anything about the exhaust system, so I expect that exhaust is smoking like Ivor the Engine.
