Murci Info

[AA121]

Hi,

Just got out of a couple of cars and seriously contemplating buying one.....although I do seem to be torn between a few different options!

If anyone has any info on the following car it would be gratefully received.

Not sure about the wheels (personal taste I guess) but I'm guessing that original wheels are still available either new or 2nd hand??

Saw those wheels on a yellow one at Goodwood FOS, as much as the car was stunning, the wheels took away some of that visual effect.

Hi Tim
I have been up to the Aston Workshop to look at the car. It's a nice Murcielago and looks good in the flesh but the wheels are a bit flash although they could be powder coated to tone them down. I spoke to the garage that did the clutch etc and they said that the car was in good nick. The chap at the Aston Workshop mentioned that there was a leak from one of the front shocks and a few other bits that needing sorting. There are a few superficial scratches but it has a full service history and seems to have been well looked after. The car needs a service and the shock etc sorting out.
I asked if there was any flexibility on price but got a negative response back in October although the situation may have changed. It was previously for sale with Car Movers for less. Because of the wheels and the fact that the colour is one of the less common colours I thought that it was a tad expensive. Please Send me an e mail if you want any additional info and I will send you the photos as the colour does suit the car
Kind regards
Keith

Terrible wheels (downvalue the car if anything)

Why did Red Bull have it ? (promo car? - I dont recall seeing a Murci promo car at any point)

Also, if Red Bull had it - I would be worried that every test pilot in the place has borrowed it for the weekend (miles are a tad leggy, which would back this theory)

[AA121]

Not sure if it is as leggy as you think and that's another thing I wasn't sure about, it's in KM not miles although it is rhd. Maybe originally supplied in the far east...?

Keith, grateful for any additional info and pics.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi,

I believe thats the Lambo UK press car, going by the colour scheme and the interior. It looks very familiar and the ad says "previous owner HR Owen". Im fairly certain I have an old Autocar performance test from when this came out.

Also, here it is in the capable hands of Mr J Clarkson. Skip to 4:20......

Don't know anything about the car I'm afraid but as has already been said it looks like it was the HR Owen press car and the one the Jeremy Clarkson drove on Top Gear. I would go and have the car checked over to make sure everything’s in order and if it is JUST GO FOR IT

Stunning, those wheels are a travesty but other than that its a no brainer.....

I love that colour combo too.

Spend £2k to £3k on a set of proper Hercules/Spider rims in black or anthracite and that car would be transformed!! Just do it!

Totally agree - devalues the car IMHO
