GRB - Has the PET been sold ?

[Jules360]

Only one person could have written this advert. The capitals, the future classic reference and the mention of a stable. It's all there.

You're the 2nd person to ask and sorry to disappoint you but the answer is no and I believe that car is already under offer, pre advertisement. Not sure the right up does it justice TBH
Now I've seen the price they are fetching maybe I should reconsider or is there even more profit to be made - what do you think ?

If I had a £1 for everyone on here that told me last year I would take a bath on the Performante I could afford to buy a 2nd one

If I recall correctly the debate was over the fact that the dealer a week later was offering you an instant profit not it's potential future worth

No that's totally incorrect as usual. At the time of purchasing October 2013 the dealer said that in the summer it would be worth more than what I paid for it and that he would be more than happy to have it back.
Its all in the detail !
Even with my influence on the market place these things take a little longer than a week. I've learnt to not give out free advise anymore so future purchases are top secret but the numbers for this week's euromillions are :

3, 26, 37, 41, 44 lucky stars 5, 11 Pile on !

Jan 2014 talking about Strads .. … "Surely you are not selling out now when it will be worth £200k in 2 years ??????????

6 currently on the market with the low mileage LHD cars looking incredible value. Think there is going to be a market correction soon and well before £200k is achieved."

Quite the expert, aren't you ?

There are 7 certain ET Performantes in the UK with a further 3 as possibilities.

Where this number of 4 came from, I have no idea.

A friend of mine has purchased this car and collects in two weeks,
Also would like to thank GRB for his advice thank you Sir :-)

I think it refers to 4 ( originally 5 ) in Rosso Mars ( an Edizione Tecnica only special colour ) after 1 which was a hire car was written off. There are a few more than just 3 others in the regular colours, I'm guessing maybe 15 in total

Good man, cracking car which he will thoroughly enjoy.
Don't pretend to be an expert but with 25 years experience in the motor trade and a number of supercars past and present I'm always happy to share my experiences and help others if I can.
Appreciate not everyone will share my views and I also like to hear differing opinions to help me make my OWN decision

Not at all. Time was right for me to move the car on and I did okay from my very short 6 month tenure.
Genuinely believe that low mileage 430 Scuderia will continue to rise but as mine was becoming closer and closer to a 10,000 mileage banding I wasn't driving it as much as I wanted to and felt crossing the line would have a negative effect on the value of the car. As silly as that is, it appears to be the case with CS/Scuderia when they get to 20,000 or 30,000 miles.
Long term it will have less effect as the cars become ever rarer but I like to drive my cars ( without losing too much money ) and invest in other commodities/assets.
If only I had a £1 for every car that's gone up after I have sold it

Let me rephrase:

There are 7 Rosso Mars ET Performantes registered in the UK with a further 3 (other colours) as possible ET Performantes. Take away the damaged car leaves 6 according to my maths.

I have highlighted this to you before.

I, myself, has seen 4 of them in person.

Lovely looking car!

[Bunty Killa]

Mine has been advertised for 6 months and still no takers and it's nearly £15k cheaper (also 1 year older) lol

Well I bow to your greater knowledge but that totally conflicts with the information from Lamborghini. I was told categorically from the outset that only 5 were ever made for the UK, then mysteriously a 6th one appeared and now you are saying 7.
I've also seen more than 3 ET's in other colours advertised on here in the last 18 months so somewhere along the line the figures don't add up which is no surprise.
Maybe they are proving so popular they are being imported ?

I know beauty is in the eye of the... BUT - This just doesn’t do it for me. Lambo's are supposed to be more on the outrageous side but this just looks a bit Demon Tweaks, looks like it's trying too hard to be in your face. Maybe it's the colour and would look better all in black but as is - not my cup-o-tea. Would much rather a Superleggera (subtle tweaks that make the car look weapons grade quick)...

On the thread listing the "specials", there are 8 Red PETs and 2 others. Is this incorrect ?

I can only assume there is some duplication of sold vehicles and private number plates.
Mine has had 4 different reg numbers on it and I'm the 2nd owner

having dealt with cc8s with the specials list, i think its bloody accurate, and he trys really hard to track plate changes....

I think you will change your mind once you have seen one up close in the flesh
Its an amazing looking car and the V10 sound track is to die for :-)

I am only making claims for the cars that are currently registered in the UK, not how many were imported.

I am interested to know if the 'information from Lamborghini' comes from Lamborghini proper or a dealership? I have already heard conflicting information from dealerships on the ET.

I can track registration changes and have done. I do not include any questionable cars in my lists unless noted (none of which are included in the figures I have given).
