Any update on this - is the beast back on the road?
Thanks for asking.Its still at Lamborghini Manchester (has its own corner of the workshop now just awaiting the dashboard back from the upholsterers who have re-covered it in alcantara stiched orange & a fix for a misfire. I've not been rushing things especially considering the weather

Is it going back on the track or are you gonna be using it as a private car? I remember reading about it in evo's fast fleet back in the day and been entertained by its antics and the mileage you put on the car.

I was just thinking about SG54 the other day, if it would be possible to run an early Murcie as a daily, and remembered you had quite high mileage at the time of the crash... Didn't realize it was almost 260K miles !
Glad to see the car is nearly finished now It does look a lot better on the Hercules wheels.
How can you tell the V12 needs a rebuild before it actually goes boom?

Have been looking at having my dash done in alacantara too; did you get any change from £850? if so I'd like to know who's doing the work :-)Its still at Lamborghini Manchester (has its own corner of the workshop now just awaiting the dashboard back from the upholsterers who have re-covered it in alcantara stiched orange & a fix for a misfire.

Nope fraid not cost me £1000 but is a nice job.V12's - they don't go boom as such just start smoking and feeling tired. The Lambo V12's are easily good enough for 120/130k then a top end and they will do the same again..

And once again - all the kind comments are much appreciated thanks.
Its been a massive team effort getting it back from almost being almost obliterated.
Almost there now..

I think you should change your name to TantricLambo....you've had us on edge for at least a year.Its been a massive team effort getting it back from almost being almost obliterated.

I hope this isn't going to be an anticlimax?
So...here she is after the first full road test.
I don't mind admitting I was nervous since if there was obviously something significantly wrong (given the chassis was bent like a banana) I'd have been a tad depressed. However it honestly drives like its new. MOT later this week and then 180 miles a day on the M1 commuter run..
