Check out this 2004 Murcielago, 1200 miles, Black

Bid ends tomorrow, currently going for £58K...expect it will end at £65K.....runs etc just needs a 'tidy' up.

By the way what does the L147 mean?

every panel is damaged, and it's probably twisted as the bootlid sits proud on one side. I wouldn't like to guess if the suspension's been bent too.

L147 is the codename that the car was known as before the official title of Murcielago was revealed.

Run, don't walk.

Sold! £67K

Oh well, at least I know what L147 means...

Am I missing the point here.....? £67k to buy then what looks like about £30k of accident repair needed, if thats just the panels, heaven knows what else will be found bent when you have a good look. But say its just bodywork, 67k + 30k = nearly £100k.
Add in the negative £ effect on depreciation when you sell on a crash repaired car in a couple years time, it makes me wonder why anyone would bother when you can walk into Lambo High Wycombe and get a straight Murcielago for £120k

And the rest! The panels alone would be circa 40k plus paint and fitting - there`s NO WAY that car has been bought for repair!

there`s only two possible scenarios:

1) The buyer is a breaker and he will disassemble the car into its component parts and sell them at a decent profit (there are a few specialist Lambo breakers especially in europe)or;

2) The car will be bought by some shady types who will use the identity - steal a perfect Mucie - re-paint to suit - sell the perfectly "repaired" car at a decent sum, and THEN break the original car into bits that they will also sell on.

sounds like option 2 to me
