Apparently has been in their storage for many years, last stamp 2014 but has been back to Lamborghini multiple times since then I am told. MOT’d history shows 2017/19/21/23 with very minimal miles between. Had 13996 miles in 2017 so has done very minimal mileage since 2017. If they can get me more history, it would be worth getting an inspection and having a punt….
It may be helpful for potential future buyers to provide a link to the recent Pistonheads spotted article:

Many congrats on finding and buying your ET. It’s a top spec Superleggera and looks to be in amazing condition. That’s a great collection day walk around descriptive video.
Presumably it was the previous owner who has stated that it’s one of only 3 UK Bianco cars. Did he pass on any more information?
It looks very likely that your car was previously advertised at GVE London in late Sept 2020. At that stage it only had front end PPF and had black calipers. The Lamborghini name plate on the rear deck was standard chrome.
Further back there was also the Bianco ET at Romans, which you may already be aware of: https://www.romansinternational.com/used/cars/lamb...
The only difference I can see on that car is that it didn’t have the carbon fibre engine surround panels. I suspect that it would have been quite difficult to pick up the additional engine bay carbon fibre some years after production had ended. Have you enquired to see if that was your car or one of the other two?
Now there is also the JayEmm video with you and your ET.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPBvc3mQMe8 The discussion touches on why you ended up with the ET instead of one of the more recent competitors, which was a question that I was interested in.
It would certainly be great if your ET and James’s Scud went down to Italy together next year.
I’ve not seen a matt Bianco to stand in front of and walk around. Most of the pictures don’t suggest that the white is that different apart from this one, which does show how the light level can change the appearance.
It’s great to see Superleggeras being appreciated and their existence being shared. Looking forward to future content.

Hi David
Do you know if there are any STS’s in the uk? (The red Super trofeo stradale’s)
VVS one upon a time had one but i was told that car was exported.
As you are already aware of the existence of the STS, I may not be able add a lot more. Do you know if there are any STS’s in the uk? (The red Super trofeo stradale’s)
VVS one upon a time had one but i was told that car was exported.
From comments posted below the brief Supercar Driver video (25/08/2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM7WURw4RH4 the VVS RHD car was previously for sale in New Zealand for a long time, before being brought to the UK. It then remained for sale at VVS for a long time.
In the Supercars of London video of the same VVS RHD car (06/01/2019) (# 122 of 150) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i_QPbtTAWs he states that only 3 RHD cars originally came to the UK, one of which was exported straight away.
Perhaps as you say the VVS car was eventually exported.
At Brooklands AutoItalia in May 2018, there were 2 STSs:
The VVS RHD car, with VVS from the rear number plate (this pre-dates the two 2019 video links above):
and LHD car # 055 of 150. The # 122 number plaque hasn't photographed very well. See Edit at the very end.
The LHD car registered V10 STS has MOT history from Dec 2015 to Mar 2024, so was still in the UK at the most recent MOT.
There was an STS at Brands Hatch Italian Cars 2016. From the wiper sweep it’s a RHD car. That car has MOT history from Feb 2015 to Sept 2017, but none since on that registration from when the MOT expired in May 2018. That car is currently SORN. Possibly this is one of the 2 UK cars
cc8s updated the Gallardo Specials Register he had been keeping back in April 2015.
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
Here’s the STS part taken from page 2 of that thread:
JT 21 has MOTs from Dec 2015 to Oct 2024. In Oct 2024 it had only 3,870 kms, so it’s not out and about much.
In summary, these STSs may still be in the UK:
V10 STS 2012 LHD # 055
ST10 LAM 2012 RHD
JT 21 2013 LHD or RHD?
The VVS car RHD # 122. Unknown whether or not it's been exported.
Edit. # 122 was at the BodyCentre Ltd, Norwich for some paint correction on 27/08/2022:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUYt6QKx99I.
Possibly as per Planetstank's understanding it was exported after this.
A better shot of # 122's plaque number.

If you know more, please share
