can anyone else find a more overpriced unlikely to sell car in the classifieds than these?

for comparison - you can buy a 1 of 24 rhd cars murci SV + £100k in change for the same price

That SV is an import though, unlike those Balbonis which are UK registered cars. UK Murci SVs are asking from £370k to £500k from a quick flick through the classifieds.

I do agree though that no Gallardo is worth £350k, especially a Balboni which is just a regular LP560-4 with the front driveshaft removed, a slight detune to the engine and a stripe on the bonnet, and that really is it.

If any Gallardos should be so sought after then I would have thought the Performante and Superleggera. At least these cars have some performance related changes to differentiate them from the regular (and other just cosmetic special edition) cars.

But not if you want a manual 'box.

There were some Superleggeras made with (the optional) manual box, although I don't know if any of them are RHD(?).

Wow, can't wait to see these come out of the woodwork. I would think they'd be asking £500k for a manual RHD Superleggera

I owned an e-gear balboni it was really a lovely car but I never wished it was manual to be quite honest. Even with it being 1/3 I can't see someone willing to pay anywhere near that asking price. As already said a 550-2 is much the same car for considerably less price tag.
