That's the ex-Ravat car - the 2nd Blue Scuro car, that was Cat D - vehicle damaged but repairable - insurance company decided not repair.
story I was told, was the technician was stopped at some traffic lights, and a lorry clipped the rear side.
Was sold in November 2013 to latest owner (me), and I'm in the process of getting it sorted out...
If anyone know's anything else about the history (pre-2010) please PM me.

From memory of the previous pics I saw it wasn,t just shunted up the rear , looked to me like the driver lost the back end and spun .

Damage wasn't that extensive - still a little confused to why the insurance company decided not to repair (hence Cat D classification).
I've had it mechanically checked out, and all seems well - wheels have been completely replaced all round (with the earlier pre-99 black centred ones), and rear wing/bumper replaced.
I'm not happy with the paintwork - but that's a more general issue around paint chip pings all around the car - get the impression its been through a car wash a few times looking at the paint work, but I'll get it sorted and the wheels also need some touch up too - plus remove the awful sony stereo.
If anyone knows any more of the history, please let me know.

True , damage appears to be superficial at first glance , main thing with me ( as it was for sale at the time I was looking ) was that maybe the frame got twisted and engine mounts damaged . But if it drives ok then not a problem . Damage must of cost in excess of 25k though just for new parts , not sure how insurance companies work nowadays but if it was a third party who pranged it maybe to keep customer sweet they decided pay out .

Just a spotted in Singapore last week. Seen a few here but never caught one up close.
Close up it is an immense car.
Makes a change from the oh so common Gallardo's.
Local news reported that the main dealer here has 35 paid deposits for the Huracan.
Re. 99 SVs
the yellow 99 roadster is the Rod Stewart sold by Carlo - doesn't count - not actually an SV!
There are 2 blue scuro cars - ahaughton's and mine
The red one at the start of the thread
The orange one in the thread just above
two yellow SV,s according to Diablo SV above
purple one 35HOT, seen on autogespot.com...
what's the other one then ?
