The LP640 is awesome. Full stop. You wouldn't think it on paper, but it's a quantum leap from the Murcie. Car is almost permanently RWD until you get into trouble and it feels savage over 100

Seriously worth thinking about once the residuals reside (if there's any left on the road!)

There's going to be a long wait - all are presold for 2007 and I believe the total allocation is 9 or 10. Am I right in thinking Hudsons just sold one for £249K? I'd like to know the number of Roadsters coming in but I think its 3 for the UK in 2007

Yeah, 2 or 3 (for HR Owen franchises) unsure about the Sytner allocation

Bet you can't wait Simon, what options have you gone for?

Shame Sytner haven't got a clue when it comes to their advertising & stock management.

I agree with Simon, very limited supply & residuals should hold firm for @ least 12 months.

Not keen on the Roadster though, that said you would have thought the 640 would have had a bigger spread!?

Did i miss the article in the magazine?

Are you still going for a white/yellow combination?

I see that they still come with the comical soft top.
Can't they fabricate a targa top as per the GTS Ferraris?
Still an amazing car though.

Its Pearl white, yellow/black half leather, yellow callipers, glass engine cover, titanium/anthracite roadster type wheels, carbon trim, no ceramics tho, branding pack and the most important option - tailor made luggage for Andy's girlfriend! (Joke)
It sounds a strange one but I've seen it in those colours and it looks wicked.
Although delivery is set for March 1st I don't think it will be here till Summer to be honest. Its supposed to be the first manual UK car.
When I was at the factory a couple of weeks ago they have installed a huge digital clock above the Murcielago production which counted the number of Murcies off the line since Jan 1st. On December 11th it said 347. Dunno where they are all going, but they aren't coming here
