I THINK it's a 675LT MSO. (not 100% on the MSO bit)

Do you mean MSO? It has MSO parts, but pretty much most of them do anyway.

Spotted just now in Telford, pulled up for a chat and a couple of photos. Owner was sound, had a quick chat about the cars, he'd just bought this I believe, said he was off for a drive around Wales, perfect weather for it.

Must say that in the flesh and in this colour, it's a lovely looking car

Romans have a similar one for sale ATM dunno how much though

Quick question, as it's now August and the summer has officially come to an end. Was there ever the influx of Arab super/hyper cars in London this summer ? Or did people just not post them ?

Hi epom. There will still be a good amount still around. Some seem to not actually leave.

It looks rather st this year, just Aventador SV's really, so you're not missing out unless you'd like to see photos of the 10 or so SV's about

[George29]

Can't be many of these around

Its a 675LT Coupe that has some MSO additions (roof scoop and wing vents)

I did check that, the base price new is £142k, but there are nearly new examples in the classifieds for like £180k..

I wonder if that's due to options and MSO parts or it's a mark up because they're in demand..

Bit of both, that white one has >£40k of MSO options on it and they are trading as colletibles.
They spiders even more so

BTW good spot on that LT as the current owner collected it today

Yes I did but as I work in the building it wasn't too hard. I had just collected it from Dick Lovett

Not alone on that one

[smithyithy]

Was it intentional, as a sort of cheeky / easy to remember name?

[Fun Bus]

Dick Lovett is the name of the man who started the business.

[DickyC]

I never met Dick Lovett but I stood next to Frank Sytner in the khazi at the BRDC at Silverstone once.

He was little and fiery. I could tell he was a bit fierce even though he was just standing there having a pee.

I think everyone already assumed that was the case

[Fun Bus]

I don't think one poster had, hence my response.

trying to fathom this one... did he have a strong piss stream, or did he growl at you and tell you to fk off from the urinal next door to him??

Not alone on that one

there was a dealership in preston a few years back called "Riding & Kok". Last I heard they had changed it to Riding & Co. Maybe Kok left, or maybe they just got tired of prank phone calls etc.
