i've been watching the prices of lp670s, i read there were less than ten rhd in the uk and there are now three of them on the market, each one priced slightly lower than the last, is it the financial climate bringing these cars out? and were are prices going for these rarities?

I never understood why most SV Owners went for orange or black cars ?

They look ace in yellow or white, I know of nothing other than orange or black ones in the UK frown

I would imagine some SV Owners are about to get their Aventadors (hence disposing of the SV)

Does anyone know what happened to the one that got properly smashed up on the A40 during a Lambo London test drive (with Bruce in it!)

Only ones I Know of were orange, gloss and matte black, unless the terqoise one counts as it swapped to UK plates?
Verde would be the colour for me, even more outragous!

Black one sold, is it not just the 2 orange ones?

Btw think it was more like 17-20 UK cars of which I think 3 have crashed and at least two are in Hong Kong

I would have had VerdeI or Monterey Blue - but they didn't offer those colours till later

Orange does the job though. The few times I have seen you in knightsbridge, it stood out enough biggrin
Would have loved to have seen yours in Verde, but these days I would just be happy to see an SV.
Seen the pics of the Monterey Blue one on Teamspeed, what a colour!

Unless all of them are exactly the same price, each is going to be pricedslightly lower than the last. You cannot deny the financial situation will effect the demand for the high end cars, but the predicted free fall by some, IMHO, will not happen. Look at high end property......

the three i have seen for sale are at macari, harwoods and elms (poss sold?) i read there were under ten uk cars in evo mag but it may have been an estimate, any colour would do for me but i've gone off matt black after seeing too many corsas wrapped.

people 'need' to live in houses... people don't necessarily need to dive lp670's. the classic and hypercar market has done so well recently as it has been seen as a relative safe-haven to 'invest' money (which is earning very little in the bank). this situation could cool almost overnight if the general 'feel' on the ground suggests that cars are no longer the place to put your money... the words 'self-fulfilling prophecy' spring to mind.

it's happened before, so there is no reason why it should not happen again... the big question is 'when'.

The 2 which are still for sale have the smaller rear wing. Is it possible to replace with larger wing and, if so approximate cost?

... was directed a while ago via luxury4play http://www.luxury4play.com to the work of a photographer in the States called Jason Tang, who owns the copyright and everylastdarnedthing in these images of a verde ithaca LP670-4 SV taken a few months ago ...






... he's done a stack of other great work as well and if you hunt about a bit of luxury4play, you'll find another photographers images of a strangely fascinating Murciélago that's been either painted or wrapped in matte brown ... it just works, somehow ...

I'd assume you could. There have been Murcielago and LP640 popping up with the SV Big wing... I thought you would be able to remove the panel it sits on and simply pop the replacement on?
