For you reference I sold my 05MY with 19k on the clock, just serviced + new tyres for 62.5k.
I'd agree with below/above, the car you mention, is a high 50's not a 60k car. The 05's had internal engine mods which are worth paying for.
UV What were the engine mods on 05 cars? My car was registered mid dec on a 54 plate so i'm assuming mine is an 05my also?? I paid 65k for mine a couple of months ago though it only has 9k miles and has a very high spec with glass engine cover and tubi etc.I'd agree with below/above, the car you mention, is a high 50's not a 60k car. The 05's had internal engine mods which are worth paying for.
The main change was to the piston rings, which were changed due to excessive oil consumption on earlier cars. There were other things but they were incidental.
My car was well spec'd but didn't have glass engine cover, which I would have liked and was a 5k option I think, and a 7k retro fit when I asked. Your car will probably be an 05MY but you'll have to get Lambo to check against the chassis number.
Problem with the Gallardo is, there are a lot around and the book value difference between an 05MY and on 04MY is 6k+ apparently. People also forget that the basic service may be sub a grand but by the time you have done the little things it will EASILY double. I feel (well not really), for people looking to pick up a cheap G. just because the initial capital required is relatively low. Also most are probably bought with poor people currency. When you get a HPI done, look out for Ocean Finance as the funding company...

Looks good and with the work just done it should run good too!
This car has been around for a while, went to view 2.5 months ago. Far better cars on market at far lower prices.just been to pick my son up from cubs in the G. it caused a bit of a stir there lol.

a shame as its had 25k dropped in to her get it "correct" 
they are indeed monster stoppers!! performance friction discs, hi-spec callipers with ferodo race pads, Goodrich hoses and dot 5.1 
i also have GT2 front six pot callipers as well if i want to fit them!
the wheels have just been to mike "the polisher" to be beautifully refurbed at 110 a wheel!! polished lip and painted centre and inner, they do look great!!
a few pics for you!

Still love it, for me there is no logical step up the car ladder - Every time I go in the garage I always struggle to leave, never have I seen a car with such presence. Still only driven it a handfull of times covering approx 500 miles but with every single mile such an event cant wait to get out in it some more. First salt recently went down our way so car is staying put in its heated/dehumidified hotel
How is the G going done many miles? Bet your son has some new buddies now!
