Thinking of buying this car SL
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/l...
Was put off by the front bumper but when i spoke to the seller i was told the previous owner liked the look of the Reventon and had a Reventon type bumper fitted.I was also told the original bumper will be supplied
Does anyone on here know the history of this SL

thnk you

Pretty sure that one had a massive smash at Knockhill.

This outfit selling this car, do they even exist, seem like a total sham to me.

If it is the same car, then I know at least 2 of the previous "one owners"

Avoid, it had a big front end smash up at Knockhill as above, then had a woeful looking bodykit fitted. They have removed the ghastly rear bumper now though.

This is it...There is also a video on you tube if you do a search.

Thank you guys
I had a feeling it was the same car yet was reassured when the seller said,the first owner had it replaced from new when he purchased it from Lamborghini Birmingham

Does anyone have VIN number or the reg of the SL that was damaged at Knockhill.

seems like the sellers are using L666ERA not to arouse suspicion

quick HPI check should identify all previous registrations easily.

I have no problems with buying a fixed car, as long as your told that.
Not telling the truth of something this significant, would make me walk away immediately.
