Just wondered if anyone knows anything about this car, or has been to see it (Reg V12 AAO)

I've been looking at classifieds on here and autotrader and this car seems to have been up with several different dealers for around 6 months, but still hasn't sold.

Guess the 42k mls may put some off and there probably aren't too many people buying these types of cars at the moment ... But from the ad and pictures it looks a stunning car for £80k.

I used to own this car 5 years ago, had no problems at all with it and it was never damaged, was James stunts before me and HR Owen before that, I put the roadster wheels on there as well as a larini exhaust,

I presume it's this vehicle, in case any else knows it or the dealer I believe they trade off their front yard

I think Carlo at Top Gear Cars has a similar car and he has always been a fine chap to deal with. In case you hadnt seen it.

Thanks for note .... The roadster wheels you put on make a huge difference.
Wonder hor many times it has changed hands in the last 5yrs!

The one at Top Gear looks better value. Love the 'about us' description for Sterling Cars.

Yes I have seen the other car on PH classifieds, same colour, half the miles etc .. Only problem is Scotland is 6-7hrs away, which is a tad far to go and have a look .... As epic as the drive home would be. Heard several people over the years on here say good things about Carlo though.

There's a yellow one in Birmingham that keeps catching my eye too ... And a yellow roadster albeit a bit mor cash!
Hmmmm I'll take any!

Surely if you're spending £80k on a Lamborghini it's worth a 6/7hr trip for what could be a better car/investment!?

Buy it over the phone and I'll pick it up, drive it back and drop it off for you. For free (as long as you're paying for the fuel)

There is the same colour Murci going up for sale just been pdi by HROwen all remedy work done

Car also has the wheels but also boast loads of additional extra one mainly being the LP640 brake upgrade which transforms the car also has the LP640 light upgrade slightly more expensive but less miles ...... Its a Well known car, and was one the last episode of TopGear

Ok little confession it's my car, well know on PH ... Should be on here tomorrow, Simon Furlonger have just taken possession wink

The one at Topgears car is a nice car also, this other I believe to be the press car,,,,not sure how that was driven in its early day but by a poster here vouches its also a good car...


Good luck, I think buying any Murci now represents excellent value at the current prices....

Hmmm... I drove said Murci a couple of months ago, ear splittingly loud. Epic...

Wouldn't part with £80k for it, too many faster/special/better built alternatives, in no particular order;

GT3 RS 997.1
Gallardo Spyder
Challenge Stradale (just...)

Hope the next owner likes blue, the centre console had 3/4 different shades... Would suit a Man City fan!

Though none of those can match the sound and power of that glorious Lambo V12 behind you...

That is way too expensive for the mileage. Carlo at Top Gear is a much better bet. I'd ask him to find me a good one, for example he sold a similar car about 3 months ago with only 12k or so for the same money.
Very limited market for lambos of that mileage. That should be reflected in the price and it isn't...

You need to get a bit more brave! Id pay Carlo to buy a car for me and I am really tight. If its the right car its worth a trip. Its always interesting to see a car thats in bits that nobody else could fix in his worshop too if you are lucky.

To be honest as someone who is trawling through the ads on auto trader, PH etc etc, Carlo doesnt exactly spend much effort with hi-res pics or a detailed description does he. If it wasn't for you guys on here recommending him ... I personally would (and had) half discount his cars based on the quality of advert, for the simple reason of 'if the dealer can't be bothered to spend more than 3-4 minutes on creating an advert, what's the car prep going to be like' ... Let alone incentivise me to drive 6-7hrs or give him my money to get him to buy me a car.

Not putting the guy down or any of his cars, but that's my impression, which is intended to be constructive.
