Looks like a nice car and well priced if the guide is accurate.

I don't know...look at the comparable V12 Ferrari.

599 GTO is five times the money of a standard 599. They only made 183 SV's but they made 499 GTO's.

On this basis, surely it's a good buy?

last of the line of cars with an engine derived from the original 350GT,
the early cars are a bargain, but this will always be considered the ultimate model for collectors

extremely limited numbers and @ 300k only £20k more than list price. I think it's good value

I' m also curious what this will sell for, it's a highish mileage SV compared to the others that have been advertised and I am aware of one that changed hands for around 400k recently, don't forget there were only around 24 rhd cars made so it's pretty rare by anyone's standards.

Amari quotes 28 RHD of 186 in his adverts - do we know for definite which is correct please ?

Easily - and some! There is no comparison between the early murci's and the later, no LP640 facelift and dynamic changes - of loosing weight, way better steering and much better braking!

Just my 2p

No you probably cannot find out the exact figure, I asked Valentino from the factory about build numbers and he replied something like "the documentation was not so good at the factory around that time so it is difficult to know" maybe there were 28 rhd originally and a few may no longer exist. I heard that 16 came to the UK though many were later exported and now some have been brought back in including a few overseas market cars. It is likely that the number in the UK is back in the teens again due to the rise in values.

Doesn't make sense to me vs. the Countach 5000s at £200-250k in the same auction.
So an early Murci + a Countach = Murci SV. To me at least one of these prices is out of quilter.
Still, as they say, two views make a market.............

The market generally makes no sense, look at the classic Fords that are going for silly money, there is also an integrale going through this auction with an estimate of 90k +, I have one and it's a fantastic car but not sure if it's 90k, I have owned both a Countach QV and the Murcie SV and only the newer car would get my money now, obviously in my humble opinion.
For any enthusiast this will be an interesting auction to watch which is why I am going to see what unfolds.

Or an aventador and an LP-560 spyder=Murci SV

We will see what it's worth at the weekend regardless of bad maths and comparisons to other supercars in theory.

I also have a Smart Brabus though I'm considering selling the SV to buy a truck load of these instead wink cos it's not a bad little car and I could have lots of fun. getmecoat

as mentioned already the sv was a very small production number by comparison to many special editions of various marques. the fact it has the sv badge will make it more desirable other time, its performance compared to standard murcielagos is another key point also many consider the Murcielago the last real lambo in modern times. i made a monumentally bad decision not to buy one last year when i could have got the car for £220k with full spec, full service history, and only 10k miles! mind you i also passed on a lhd gto for £230k! two decisions i now regret massively.

i only see these going up in value with time, look at how many aventador sv are being made and compare that to this.

Don't know much about Lambos, but always thought the 670 SV looked like an epic car. I think I read somewhere that there is a manual one in the US .... now, to own that I would possibly be willing to sell all my possessions.

There are 6-8 world wide...3 in the states (2 white with a big wing and 1 white with small wing), rest are in Europe IIRC. 1 Rosso Mars, rest I don't know unfortunately.

cool thanks for the info .... still only a small chance of ever getting one, but there is always hope
