Gallardo LP manual

[julian64]

Been looking for the last six months for a coupe LP manual with little success.

How rare are these?

i test drove a pre-lp rhd one and found it undrivable with the squeezed clutch and brake pedals

I had an LP550-2 Manual I sold back in 2013 maybe to a guy on here. I bought for £118k in 2011, sold for I think maybe £113k. In arancio borealis. I think i did SOR via bentley leeds, and then a guy on here bought it after that.

Yup, still got it.

What's the manual like to drive? Is the previous poster correct about the squeezed space making it undrveable?

I have a pre lp manual gallardo & it’s not the biggest gap between the pedals. Id recommend sitting in any manual gallardo to see if it would work for you.

Fantastic, and the only way I'd have it.

No problem with space for my feet on the pedals (I'm 6'3" and wear size 10 shoes) and can quite happily drive in conventional shoes and heel & toe. I haven't driven a pre-LP Gallardo, so I don't know if they are significantly different (it sounds that way from others experiences).

I look after a Grigio Telesto 560 - it is a sensational car to drive. I'd have one in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose.

okay thanks for the feedback, will just continue to wait patiently
