No it hasnt been delivered yet. UK car is towards the end of the run so a few more to go yet.
And in answer to the other question the interior is the same on all the cars although it doesnt look as light as that in real life. Think it may be a combination of bright sunshine and camera flash.
I think this may just be a car being transported to Vegas for promotional purposes rather than a customer car. I have something in my head that says Lambo are keeping No. 1 for the museum.

Some of the info on Lambopower.com suggests that this is a customer car (as in the first) and that 00/20 is staying at lambo factory (presumably making the final run 21 cars).And in answer to the other question the interior is the same on all the cars although it doesnt look as light as that in real life.

It also appears that there has been a second one delivered that is ownerless.
king-tastic!!! 
I dont go on lambopower but I do know that our customer met all the other owners in Feb. As far as we are aware they are all sold and we have had calls from as far a field as the US asking if our clients car can be bought for a premium.
As for the 21 cars, I did think that myself at one point but I seem to remember a conversation over dinner in Vegas where Lambo were keeping No 1. That said I was very drunk!!
I love the controversy this car causes every time it is mentioned!! As a marketing exercise alone it is genius!!

The Las Vegas one is a customer carEdited by LamboBrum on Tuesday 27th May 12:54
As is the one in Miami (in fact iirc it's owned by an fchat regular)
However the one a Lamborghini Houston was for sale - according to the forums Lambo LasVegas bid them $250k over but it went elsewhere - who says the economy is in trouble?
The sales link is still on the website: http://www.lamborghinihouston.com/vehicle_details....
This video was posted on May 22nd and is of an unvailing in Miami, not sure whether it's the same car:

This is the one for sale from lambo houston:

Or was ontil it was sold
Heres some high quality pics also:

That car wasnt for sale at Lamborghini Houston. Only one car has left the factory so far. The car was the same one that has done the rounds at any dealer event that it was required at. We nearly had it for our Edinburgh dealer opening but someone in Germany had it at the same time.
You cannot take delivery of an unsold car. That is why all the owners had to go to the factory. It is also the reason that the owner has to place a 300,000 euro deposit on the car.
Sorry to dispell a myth but despite its 'marmite' appeal, this car is sold out and as someone who had to sign a contract for the UK car, you mis-sell this car only if you dont want to be a Lamborghini dealer anymore!!!

The Miami car is owned by Jorge Wolf (who posts on the forums as JorgeEnzo)
I remember there was a thread about him ordering the car a while back when no one had heard of it - his was the first one ordered
This car is also very special because it is not assigned a number (like the 1/20 car in LasVegas)
If you look at this picture it instead has the owner name on the plate (click on the photo to blow it up)

Whats more iirc Lamborghini Houston is the biggest dealership in the world (or is that Dallas) after Orange County -- why would they advertise it all over their website with a price if they didn't actually have the car for sale?
Don't you think that if the car wasn't for sale, Lamborghini in Italy would be really pissed off with them?

You are right traxx. That is the second car with the owners name on it. Just spoken to the factory who have confirmed that no. 1 is the first customer car and it was in Vegas for the event that we have just been to (although I didnt see it!)
The factory have offered all the owners a name plate and I believe most have taken them up on it. I know my chap has. I think that this was a crude way of trying to find any prospectors.
They have also said that Houston have not had a car and are not even due a car. They think it was a marketing ploy and they have been inundated with annoyed depositors as well as the people who wanted one but were told there were non available.
Third customer car due out this week. I also asked them about the number 00 car being theirs but i dont think they understood what I was saying and the conversation started to get confusing!!
So apologies! I have got my facts straight now and always big enough to admit when I am wrong!! Which is just as well as it can be quite often!!
