Discussion
There is always a knowledgeable person on here who has been watching the market. I have, very recently, decided I would like to go for an SV and can currently see the market starts at £300k as of now. What has been happening with the price of these cars of late? Are cars moving or sitting for a long time?
I’m not ready to make a move until spring next year but any researchers out there who could share their knowledge of the last 6-12 months or so would be much appreciated.

I wouldn't rule out an S. Personally I felt the S is a better car than an SV, quicker gearshifts and most importantly 4WS that makes a big car far more nimble and nicer to steer. You'll save some money by finding a nice S coupe as there are plenty hanging around that haven't sold for months.

Whilst all that is true, one of the reasons I’m getting out of my Huracan is to buy a limited run model, that hasn’t been overproduced, like the perf, and will hopefully hold some value in the long term. I also think the visceral nature of the SV is something I will love, I have a young family so long trips just aren’t an option, short bursts of escapism at the weekend are the best I can hope for right now maybe with the odd European adventure. So the more wild and exciting the trip is the better.

I think the SV around these levels will likely hold their value better than an S, but I completely agree with you on the relative merits of an S vs SV in terms of driving. I know this is close to sacrilege, but in all my years of V12 Lamborghini ownership, the SV was the most disappointing model I've had (certainly relative to my expectations).easytiger123 said:

It was incredibly difficult to get anything like the best of out of it. Lacked the comfort of the normal Aventador (the seats in the SV were fine for shorter trips but after anything longer than around 90 minutes became increasingly uncomfortable especially on the back of my thighs. If you can find one with the fully adjustable comfort seats I strongly recommend you go for them). The gearbox was the worst of all the Aventadors I’ve had and it really felt its size like no other variant. The ride was also too harsh in anything other than normal mode. I may be in a minority of course with the above, and it’s all relative because it was obviously incredibly fast and always an occasion to drive, but the S and SVJ with four wheel steering and crucially, the ability to configure the car via Ego mode so you get the better gearchange with the softer suspension make them both more fun to drive. All in my opinion.

the murci sv feels much more special imo and at less than 300k is good value too
I have been thinking about this too but always lean back to the Aventador with it being more modern. There is a beautiful red one at Amari right now but first registered in Singapore, it’s still RHD but was worried this could affect its pedigree in the long run. Any thoughts on this are welcome.Why did it feel more special to you?

Precisely my experience. Extremely jerky and snatchy gearchanges on the car I drove and the ride was also very choppy. In contrast the S feels like a car I could use on a long euro trip and as you say easily changeable into something more aggressive via the Ego modes.I may be in a minority of course with the above, and it’s all relative because it was obviously incredibly fast and always an occasion to drive, but the S and SVJ with four wheel steering and crucially, the ability to configure the car via Ego mode so you get the better gearchange with the softer suspension make them both more fun to drive.

As I mentioned earlier the steering makes it by far the best of any Aventador variant for me, anything pre 4WS just feels cumbersome to me which limits your ability to enjoy the power.
I dont think S are particularly plentiful as I'm guessing production was only 12-18 months? Certainly the SV is rarer but probably only by hundreds rather than thousands?
Race seats just need spacers to recline them and then they are pretty good, costs virtually nothing to do this and is really easy, without they are just too upright and not an easy driving position.
I have comfort in my SVJ and race in SV and since reclining them I prefer them to the comfort
SV had a massive factory software update roughly a year ago and it really changes it for the better, early software was not great, now they are way less jerky and you can now use corsa on the road which before you couldn’t because it was too unpleasant unless driving hard, you can now upshift at any point in the Rev range without it trying to put you through the windscreen instead of only at max rpm. SV has really evolved through updates and is not the car it was when it first arrived it’s much better now and more useable.
SV is the most special in my opinion,
S is probably the best car though all things considered, but won’t give you the same feeling rattling around being slightly uncomfortable in a carbon box.

Re 4 wheel steer it really depends how you use the car, it’s much better round town and general use as you feel much more in twisty stuff but little difference one you get to about 80mph. If going fast you don’t really notice it, except it hates rough roads and does occasionally try and put you in a ditch. It does seem to be a learning system though so it adapts after a bit and stops trying to kill you!
I’ve said for ages the Sv is the car to hang on to. I also preferred my first Aventador, a 2013 plate to my S which was a 2017.
Sure the S was a better car but it wasn’t that much better tbh! I commented on fuel range before and my S could do a tank of fuel in less than 90 miles, my first Aventador would return 160 or so. This isn’t about cost but practicality.
So my money would go on the SV kept in the garage and brought out on special occasions!

No doubt whatsoever in my mind that the SV at current levels will hold its value better than any other current Aventador variant.
Interesting that there's a fix for the seats (my issue as I said was the lack of adjustability and not the seat firmness) and also the factory software update to sort out the gearbox. Both fall into the long list of 'things I wish I knew a few years ago' category!

Thanks for your input so far everyone. Does anyone know anything about this particular car?

Why did it feel more special to you?
the noise, looks, just felt a little more analog imo, it's -100kg v -50kg for the aventador in terms of weight savingWhy did it feel more special to you?
also lets not forget there's only 186 murci sv's and 1,100 aventador sv's
people forget just how fast they were too, (0-60 in 3.0, 10.9 1/4 mile etc)
I've just done Monaco and back in mine.......... agony doesn't come close to describing the fixed buckets. I was on tramadol for 2 days when i got there and I'm still not 100%. But what a car, i love every aspect apart from the seats. Every journey is a special occasion, the noise is particularly intoxicating. The roof is a bit of a faff though.
