Have heard that the Grigio Telesto LP640 they had wasn't in great condition, but seem like a reputable dealer smile

Heard as in you are keeping it hearsay or have you seen it?

Is this the one you mean? https://www.vvsuk.co.uk/vehicle-details/Lamborghin...

Looked it over today and drove it (though this is the first ive driven) and it seemed really nice, pretty clean, couple of items they said they’d rectify as it hadn’t been prepped yet, they had no idea on clutch wear, which i find strange as i’d say its been there a while, especially considering others from here looked at it a while back.

Offered them my Murci on SOR. after several chase emails and phone calls was eventually told wrong colour and import therefore £40k less than the one on their website bit rich TBH.
Interesting info, care to email me the screenshot smile

I have to say though, what a great guy James is, spoke with him most of the day before we squeezed in the drive at the end, he was and is being very accomodating.

I feel the car suits me, was very comfortable driving this vs the AV and the e-gear is easy to use and far better than the old cambiocorsa i had in my 4200 of 2006 vintage.

Warranty offering i’ll have to look into, clutch wear needs verifying, Singapore import value i will look into but its whole and complete service history (apart from first at lambo singapore) is uk based, details of services done are being sent to me so i can asses them.

Colour i love to, even the red interior..

All being well i’ll pay a deposit and drive it back down through europe to home.

I think there will be quite a few people out there hoping Karma pulls it's finger out soon rat_rod! I only knew about him setting up again because my brother-in-law was down in Chiswick concluding some business and got introduced to Karl after someone heard we were looking for something. Came back and told me he'd been introduced to a really nice guy who said he has 2 ready to go - pretty sure my response and the direction to certain videos on YouTube said it all!

So what are peoples opinions on Singaporean imports?

Are there Some prominent dealers in europe that specialise in Murcielagos?

Not many on mobil.de or autoscout24

I'd have no issue with one in principle:

However unless you can 100 percent authenticate the history they have to be worth less. Expert PPI is essential

Would say import depends on climate come from, and what local servicing is like. Asia, for example no salt on roads but high temp, little rust or corrosion to metal parts but more issues with rubber plastic.

Well, normally my opinion is based on factual information formed from experience or data from others experience, which i dont have much of currently wink

I do feel that if its been imported very early on and had most of its history in the uk, then not much of an issue from me, obviously its value resale value and desirability is lower whichever way you look at it but the amount and detail of documentation creates a sliding scale of how much that value is effected vs a genuine European.

Essentially, an import devalues as it could be hiding something that could cause issues for ownership or re-sale but then that can happen with any car, just to a greater degree with an import.

I’d like others opinions though, ones with actual experience being the preferred smile

Kept me waiting weeks on a Mclaren they advertised saying it will be arriving but never came.

Waste of time these guys, If they promise anything make sure you hold them to account. Check the car is there too physically.
