Balboni

[Sarnie]

Nice, but looks a bit like one of the numerous white cars with the stripe added;

Ltd edition, manual and rear wheel drive. I'd snag this if I had Gallardo money.

Except it's not a manual... :P

white is very common, yes, but I guess this have enough to make it unique..... the stripe theme is continued inside and I think this helps with making it a bit more interesting if you don't have alcantara and defo helps prevent the seat's soft leather looking worn as most cars even with low mileage do.... like very much

oddly enough 2wd Gallardo's don't get snapped up quickly..... valentino obviously thought they were ideal..... I'd tend to agree, and I'm no driving god..... and this is taken from the 911 to Gallardo thread....

Well I've eventually done it!! 997 TUrbo went yesterday! Deposit on gallardo! I know the turbo is far more capable but the gallardo was an itch I had to scratch! Already promised myself another turbo! Will let you know how I get on.

who says its more capable? i went from a 997 Turbo S to a 50th anniversary LP560-2 and there is no comparison between the two, the Lamborghini is in a different league especially in LP format.Get ready for the attention because owning a Lamborghini is like no other.

yes the balboni is a special edition, but those other cars look so nice...

[donkamio]

Newbie question but as its a sought after ltd edition do you guys expect the used values of the balboni to be quite firm compared to the other Gallardo's linked above? e.g. i'm thinking of f430scud compared to f430

Would maintenance costs be more than lp versions?

[Sarnie]

No reason for it to cost more to maintain.....it might hold it's value slightly more than a normal LP but I wouldn't bank on it.....

all depends what the collectors want and latch onto...... if all of a sudden a 2wd gallardo is the car to have, then a limited edition 2wd will appreciate.... the scud is more raw and rare, the 2wd is sharper and better in steering feel, imo.... and rare in balboni/tricolore/anniversary form.... actually quite rare even as a 550-2

Unlikely to significantly out perform a standard car though, simply not special enough.

Are you doing Wilton this weekend Mohan? I want to see this new snotter

[70proof]

Unfortunately tied to Cambridge for several reasons this weekend so Wilton a no no

Will get together though ...
