Wow nice
I wonder where I can find the owner and ask if he’s selling!
To add: car check on the reg ARM17N. Shows yellow… unless wrapped and notified? Or onto another car.
I wonder where the burgundy car is..
True, but the VIN matches the Rosso Leto car.I wonder where I can find the owner and ask if he’s selling!

I cant see it anywhere mentioned by this MrJWW, do you perhaps have a recent picture of the car?
Found a video meanwhile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnV5abL0YMc
The plate on the car is on retention mf07mva, its known and at 9h51 you can see the VIN on the bill.

Just saw a tiktok of this car being offloaded at motor hub. https://app.digitalservicebog.dk/search?registrati...
Has a SV kit on it, would be great back in its OEM form!
For these I have no pictures yet, perhaps someone has them to share?

I used to own LF03 HJU - which I assume is on a different plate these days. Manual/Yellow.

Meanwhile I collected 244 Murci's which had a UK registration, some got imported (also LHD) some got exported to far east.

It was recently for sale, from that ad: This EU specification Murcielago was originally delivered to Germany but was soon sold to a Russian national who took the car back to Russia after his studies. It has recently been imported into the UK and is now offered by its second owner from new.
I have an early Murcie and an AV SV.
They are very different cars obviously.
The Murcie is fast, the engine very free reving.
Had niggly things go brake sensors, window mechanism, the rear view mirror cracked. You can usually find the VW/Audi part at 20% of the cost
The AV is brutal.
Everything is more expensive. Just had new tyres. Also had niggly things eg some of the lights going on the rear led brake band - not a VW part!

so from your experience sounds like the Murcielago is preferable in that respect. I visually prefer it anyway plus I still have the "theoretical" option of turning it into a manual car.
If I could afford an SV (any one of the SVs, then that would be my choice - but no chance).
idly surfed parts prices on eurospares - some punchy things (engine, gearbox obviously, but also stuff like a wing mirror - better make sure not to wreck one of those....)
MDL111 - I have had my 2005 Arancio Atlas Murcielago Roadster since 2014.
The only truly bad experience I had with this car is/ was the buying process that I had . A couple of problems surfaced almost immediately. I bought it from a supposed Lamborghini specialist dealer ( who will remain unnamed ) and I had to go through the trauma of taking that company to Court . I The judge awarded me the full cost of the gearbox repair, and Jardine Motors who held the franchise for what was then the local Lamborghini franchise where I had had a PPI carried out were equally brilliant and more than adequately recompensed me. They intimated that Sant’Agata had been involved in the technical aspects of the dispute as well as in the operation of the franchise.. I bring this all up purely to tell you to choose the vendor carefully and to get a proper PPI done. Someone with a lot more supercar experience than me once told me to only buy a second hand supercar from a dealer who had their own , properly equipped and staffed workshop , and I suspect that the gearbox issue would have been quickly and more easily sorted out if this had been the case.
Having said which I bought the car and not the vendor. I wanted an early car because of Luc Donckerwolke,s unadulterated Bauhaus design. I wanted an Arancio Atlas Roadster with E-Gear because I wanted it to be different to what else I already had - I couldn’t justify to myself having the same colour , body type or gearbox. I did however want the same Bizzarrini V12 , spaceframe chassis and guillotine doors.
I haven’t seen another early Arancio Roadster in good condition come onto the market since. The gearbox issue was just bad luck and would not have been an issue if it had been dealt with reasonably by the selling dealer. I have not regretted buying this car and have no plans to sell it.
The Roadster, even the earliest ones, came with the upgraded brakes. The E-gear is unfairly maligned. Drive the car with gusto and it is more than adequate. The manuals command a ridiculous premium. If you really want a challenging gearbox get a Countach or a Brooke 260 RR , or if you want a delightful gear change get an Ariel Atom 4 or a Toyota MR2 Mk 3 . So don’t let the hype about manual boxes put you off getting an E gear car - they work fine ina heavy,4 wheel drive supercar which requires 2 hands on the steering wheel when being driven at speed and around corners. You really don’t want a Murcielago of any type for peacocking around town .
Ferruccio has had his Murcie longer than I have and has summarised its few inadequacies better than I can .
Best of luck with your search , it’s a great car, and keep us informed of your progress
