Seems too good to be true at this price! I have made an offer and am almost about to proceed...is there anything I should look/ask for in particular? Dissapointing that it is left hand drive but at that price it seems a steel!

Are you sure you want to buy a LHD car ? Surely you can buy a RHD LP640 ? This will give you a better value when you sell.

Actually, aren't LHD worth more than RHD these days due to desirability abroad?

[DayTrader]

It will look better with a gold chrome wrap and neons underneath...

No doubt Gulzar will do something similar once he has bought it!

lol :P

and I agree but I have never seen any right hand drive LP640 anywhere near under 160k and this one is a huge 30k cheaper! Does anyone else have experience driving a LHD on UK roads? Do you cope?

I used to own a LHD Diablo and subsequently a RHD. I found RHD much easier to place on the road as its such a wide car. I found I had a lot more confidence on the usual narrower UK roads with RHD

What about the 3000 mile one at Lambo London for £150k - looks like a decent enough deal in comparison

I havent seen that one is it semi auto and RHD? Could you post the link bud

[Gulzar]

Just seen it seems awsome! But manual and Ive got my heart set on semi auto!

Get a manual Lamborghini while you still can. That 'snick-snick' of the metal shift gate is addictive, and it'll be rarer eventually...

See, that's a proper car, that is...



I've driven manual and e-gear LP640s, and subjectively found the manual to be better, for me. I'm no fan of semi-auto and paddle shift gearboxes anyway, i prefer to do the shifting myself and feel like part of the car, but i found the e-gear to be more flawed that most.

Very hesitant in slow traffic, not easy to maneuver, shifts weren't very 'clean'.
