Anyone know the car on here at all?

Looks to be a pretty good example with a nice spec.

like your thought processes matey........

first time the car came up it was for sale elsewhere......follow the links in the thread.... all of them...
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
worth calling http://www.wilmslowmotorcompany.co.uk/used-cars who had the car first for more info.... love the youtube vid I linked too.....

just been over to the amari website to take a look at all the HD pics......
http://www.amarisupercars.com/detail?vid=109193

looks lovely, so why hasn't it sold....

could be cos of the dealer its with, but you are buying the car, not mating with the dealer LOL, so if the car checks out, who cares..... my first car was amari stock, pukka mota that one

biggest put off must be service history, or lack of, it has essentially had one service in three years..
22/02/2011 - 36 miles - Lamborghini Manchester - PDI
24/03/2014 - 3,858 miles - Lamborghini Manchester
again, my first car hadn't been serviced for its first 2.5 years and had only done 850 miles. 4k is still within the 7.5k mileage limit though 3 years for an oil change is pushing it.... key is to speak to lambo Manchester.... did it have an interim or major service in march, what are the techs comments, and advisories, insist on a Manchester PPI as part of the deal.... for what its worth, the pic of the service book shows writing in the service stamp section, dealers often write when they do an interim or major as opposed to just an oil service...

maybe spec.... I think the spec is great, but you could nit pic over lack of heated seats, reversing camera and branding pack - with which you get bits of silver interior trim.... reversing camera is a cheap retro fit

fwiw... one of the trackers is still in its supply packaging, neat
if all tyres are equally worn, at 6mm, and the made date on them is still 2010/2011, then the car has been driven very softly indeed

finally, everyone says they would love a 2wd manual Gallardo, but at present, no-one is putting there money quickly where their mouths are..... future classic however??

quite a bit more money is the anniversary car at Birmingham, but talk to me first before buying it... some trim bits need upgrading to CF, and it is egear, which you may not want....

these threads are worth a read...

and just to explain the pricing...... the balboni was 20k more than the 560-4 list, when the mainstream 550-2 was introduced, it was priced as the entry level Gallardo and was much cheaper than the 560-4, at least 15k iirc, the anniversary was more expensive than the 560-4 but less than the superleggera

they have sat at 100k without change this last year

and post 2010, the cars came with a 4 year factory warranty, so this car is still in warranty, but there is no renewable factory option, I think, but check with manchester

From what I remember that car was a lovely example, very very clean and apart from the servicing issue mentioned above it appeared to have been well looked after.

I did the photos but didnt drive it so can't comment on that, but I am actually surprised it hasn't sold yet.

thanks Adz,

How did it end up at Amari? Is it SOR

First contact with them over the weekend and I'll go and see it I think.

you are most welcome, and good luck.....

in some way with it not being SOR might work in your favour.... Wilmslow may put you in touch with the last owner, and as he's sold, well, the truth will out, what's he/she got to loose heh....

very few people will buy a manual lambo
very few people will buy a 2wd lambo

i'm not saying whether that's good or bad : it's just the way it is
