Why didn't you go for the one just north of the border. Manual, orange, coupé? Also did you testdrive the one in Fleet?
I looked at it, but I just didn't like the orange/black combo. And no, I bought it blind Here it is, tucked away (yes I know I need to update the wall art since the Clio went!):
I'll do a proper Readers' Cars thread at the weekend

Congtaulations, absolutely love that colour, there used to be similar in tvt, midas gold, is it pearlescent? Really suits it, there’s something about the Gallardo shape i adore, its very boxy which ive always liked.
Ive been looking at adding a Superleggera but the standard Gallardo i think i prefer from a looks pov, bit like the aventador, the unhalfords versions look best, + you can get a manual, yours a manual?
Saw the Collecting cars / VVS youtube video reviewing the gallardo through the ages, was quite informative, even if the guy was awful at being interviewed..
Any, looks lovely

Thank you! And yes, it is. It looked a flat yellow in the photos but the videos the seller sent me showed it in sunlight and it’s a pearlescent finish - it looks fantastic!Ive been looking at adding a Superleggera but the standard Gallardo i think i prefer from a looks pov, bit like the aventador, the unhalfords versions look best, + you can get a manual, yours a manual?

Well I spoke with the seller, he sent me videos of start up, all the service history and receipts, interior, exterior, wheels etc
Ah, ok. I guess for me as not mechanically-minded, turning up for a test drive really doesn't increase the chances of avoiding something unexpected happening, then! (IYSWIM)Gassing Station | Gallardo/Huracan | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
