Loving mine. Noise is awesome. Took it to 50th this year in Italy also via France etc. Was great in the hills with the roof off. Makes me smile every time I drive it. Good value now for anyone looking to buy- £205k list price now looking at late £140k's for mine a year old. Ouch.
Cool. My car was also in Italy on tour with its 1st owner and virtually all he used it for was that trip which was epic by all accounts.I hope to do an Italian Lakes trip with the car next year having seen some of the you tube videos.
You have also confirmed my initial thoughts on the car - its sounds fantastic, better than anything else out there and the down changes are unreal.
It also makes me giggle everytime I see it.
It was a distant 3rd on my list of potential buys ( Behind 458 and MP4 12C coupes )but I wasn't really looking to re-enter the market for 6 months/ spring time. When I saw it and then heard it the test drive was almost a formality. I could of bought a 458 or McLaren for less but I don't think they would of made me smile half as much and seemed boring in comparison.
I agree that sub £150k they are a real bargain and hopefully a future classic being the last and best of the Gallardo range. Come spring I doubt many will be for sale and if they are I reckon they will be up for more than now

Mines Blue Cepheus, registered October 13.
Just picked it up this morning from being detailed and venture shield installed.
Congratulations - Wow thats beautiful. Didn't even know that colour was available in this country on a spyder.Just picked it up this morning from being detailed and venture shield installed.
Welcome to the exclusive club but Very small and technical point - there is no "H" in Edizione Tecnica lol
Do you mind me asking Was it a demo or pre-registration or brand new as I was not aware the car existed and I've not seen it advertised

It was brand new unregistered, I didn't order it though, it was in stock - Wasn't advertised anywhere apart from the dealer website for whatever reason.Welcome to the exclusive club but Very small and technical point - there is no "H" in Edizione Tecnica lol

It's the only one in the UK in this colour. Lambo Sevenoaks also have the only Superleggera ET in the UK in the same colour.

Yes seen the coupe version. I take it you got a good deal on it as I was offered good prices on new LP560-4 spyders but elected to go the nearly new Performante route. More car for less money and a special edition albeit lightly usedIt's the only one in the UK in this colour. Lambo Sevenoaks also have the only Superleggera ET in the UK in the same colour.

GRBF430F1 - I mentioned previously that my neighbours 570 was at Lambo London for "Technical Issues".
Well this afternoon he turned the key and almost put my bloomin windows through - Satans offspring is back!!!!
I "effin love that car.
I take it the technical issues weren't a lack of sound from the exhaust pipes Well this afternoon he turned the key and almost put my bloomin windows through - Satans offspring is back!!!!

.I have to admit the cold start up in the garage is extremely loud and embarassing. One of the my neighbours 3 doors away has mentioned the noise of my F430 and Porsche 911 Turbo in the past so I'm just waiting for the b0ll0cking on the Lambo.
I wouldn't mind but he forgets he always revs his Ducati motorbike on his driveway before shutting it down and I don't complain.
Went out for a sunday morning hoon today and videoed some footage through the woods and a couple of tunnels so just need to edit it before watching it back but the car just sounds so awesome.
The 3rd to 2nd gear downshifts in the twisties under the trees are epic. The noise is unlike anything else out there and even puts the Capristo on my F355GTS to shame. TBH I think it was one of the main reasons I fell in love with the car, that and the immense speed and traction accelerating out of a hairpin with all that torque and 4 WD
The car is just so much FUN and I have absolutely no regrets on passing on a 458 or McLaren for the Lambo.
They might be a nano second faster and a bit more refined but this thing puts a smile on EVERYONES face.
Public reaction has been fantastic to the car and everyone loves it and goes wow or phwoar far more so than my old F430 spider
Anyone else spotted this beauty in the adverts?

Wow that's fantastic. Must of been added today as I haven't seen it before. Must be the last one left and a good saving off £210k List Price. Would of thought that would be snapped up fairly quickly even though its winter http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/l...

That and mine were the last two new order Performante's to the UK (I think). Both at Lambo Sevenoaks. Looks very nice in person, unregistered as well.famoussas said:

A collector has got to buy it at that price. Unused it would only appreciate in value IMHO as the last in the UK.I think all the late Gallardo's will hold their value well for at least the next 18 months and probably long term
