Was lucky enough to be able to take a few photographs of an Aventador SV which attended the classic car and bike meet at the Griffins Head pub in Papplewick in Nottinghamshire a few weeks ago.

For info this meet takes place on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, plus the last Sunday of each month for added measure - well always assuming the weather is good smile

Stunning car in the flesh and the exhaust note is awesome. I want one!

...doesn't the Miura look diddy, flanked by its two minders? Bellissimo!

The lightness of being.........
Modern cars nearly all so big and heavy.

@Lotusespitse: good work but the rear written "lamborghini" was reattached too low

I can't see much difference between 'Claudia' and the 2005 plate Murcielago Roadster which I photographed many years ago.





Just remembered I took a few photos of a 2003 Murcielago for comparison.

Hello everyone ,

I am in the final stages of writing what is probably the first stand alone book on the Lamborghini Murcielago , and would be delighted to consider any/all photos in this thread for inclusion in the book . Photos of Murcielagos are obviously of immediate relevance , but photos of the other V12 Lambos will also have a place in the book

If this is something that you would like to be involved in please contact me on : murciebook@gmail.com

I have included a brief introduction note below :






Dear Sir /Madam ,

As way of introduction , I am a Consultant Eye Surgeon , based in the United Kingdom , who has been a Lamborghini enthusiast since the age of 9 , and who has been privileged to be the temporary custodian of a Rosso Countach 88 1/2 QV (chassis 12399) for the last 18 years , and a 2005 Arancio Atlas Murcielago Roadster (chassis LAO1564) for a rather shorter period of time .

Both cars are absolutely standard , as they left the factory , and both cars are the respective Beaulieu National Motor Museum Photographic Library Reference Examples.

I am now writing a book on the Lamborghini Murcielago , and my publishers are the respected UK motoring publishing house , Veloce Publishing, who recently published what is regarded as the definitive book on the Miura-------''The Lamborghini Miura Bible ''by Joe Sackey.

Veloce and I are aiming at a global audience , and I am therefore writing to the various clubs and dealers worldwide to try and get a wider input of photo and text material that can be included in the book.

Veloce are aiming for the 2018 Christmas market , which means that we need all the material to be at the publishers, by June 2018 at the very latest.

As the book has progressed , it has become clear to me that the book will be all the more interesting if it is a collaborative effort , with input from owners, enthusiasts, mechanics and dealers. , so please could you circulate this e-mail to your various chapters , Murcielago owners, and whomever else might have a useful contribution to make

I am best contacted at : murciebook@gmail.com

Thank you

Hi Dr Path, what a co-incidence, I was looking at some very old emails today and read through our correspondence when you kindly invited me to join you in your Countach very early in the morning a few years ago. (I had a different user name back then). I still talk about that trip and even last week I spoke about it to some colleagues. I trust you are well and I will purchase your book as soon as possible.
I hope you are well.
Kind Regards
Mark.

Wonderful to hear from you again Mark.......I too well remember our early morning drive , and your dedication in leaving home at 3am

The text for the book is now almost complete , and I have spent the last 3 days going through about 800 photos to choose the most appropriate for each chapter...Veloce have limited the picture count to 150 images

Wish me luck , and I look forward to seeing you again Mark

So here's my recent acquisition - 2003 manual with some extra bits like a Lary-ini exhaust. Love it to bits, and a few plans going forward like
1) the obligatory V12xxx Reg
2) a refurb of the suspension
3) some investigation into the lazy brakes despite having the big brake upgrade.

Might need to sell the LP550-2 as it is not going to get a look-in for a while...

Congrats Larry, I have known this car for a few years and it was the cleanest one I had seen then and now well done, I have the sister car to this, a manual 2005 6.2 I have kept my 2 Gallardo Spyders as there will be days when the wide bum may be just not the right car for!!

Yes it does a rather big a_s_s.... almost put me off Murcis, but then it's got the legs, and the howl :-)
Whereabouts are you based?
