Nice. I saw a blue one at New Image not so long ago. Had a really short private registration. The same one maybe?

RAY4MB gave me a spin in his blue one at the last Northants run. All I can say is wow!!!!
I've been in quick cars before but done that can accelerate and brake as quickly as this thing!
Only thing the Gallardo lacks for the true Lambo experience in scissor doors.

I agree Zipp. Have looked at conversion kits but it could become an issue with depreciation. Will be doing the Northants run again BTW. MIght see you there.

I would tend to think that modding the doors would affect the value of the car quite significantly. I guess with supercars such as the Gallardo, their is a restricted group of potential buyers in the first place who have the funds for such a great car.
We have a client who owned a 360 Spider with aftermarket wheels. When it came time for him to sell it, quite a few were put off by the rims. So we ended up removing them and putting on the standard ones. It sold virtually straight away.
Same client now has a F430 and is thinking of wheel upgrade and a Tubi exhaust...lovely....

I think the doors can be done at the factory - not sure about the cost though.
