trickey to say, roadster is cool untill you have to put a roof on it, then not so nice, coupe is stunning looking.

but roadster minus roof is fantastic looking.

I would have the coupe. wink

Roadster. But I would say that, given that there's a minute chance I might see yours in Manchester if you buy one!

I would never buy a roadster if it was going to be kept in this country. The roof looks like even more of a nightmare than those on the Elise S1 (and thats saying something).

If your going to ship it out to your farmhouse in Tuscany then fine, if its for the UK then coupe all the way.

Has to be the roadster just for how it looks with the roof off!

The roadster. You can now buy two forms of rigid roof for it.

that's interesting news!

Are either of them Automobili Lamborghini approved?

Where do people need to go to see them, (ie website or vendors shops/factory) or do we need to wait for a passing aircraft to drop a leaflet on us?

The Roadster (either LP640 or Murciélago 'originale') looks the mutts danglers, but as mentioned looks pretty darned kwappe with the hankie stuck on! At least the Diablo Roadster has a roof that only needs an assistant to operate. It's not that the operation is difficult, just a bit three-handed at times.

Hardtop! Looks nicer! And with the roadster, you can only have the roof off for about 3 days a year in this country!!!

Roadsters these days are every bit as good as the coupes for performance and rigidity but the murcielago roadster is class apart from its counterpart. Incidentally Olie, do you live under a permanent rain cloud. Haven!t had the roof on mine since I bought it a year ago!

Just tried to update my profile but the website has a problem so has removed the original photo and won't let me put the others on! Will try again later - if you don't want to wait, PM me and I'll email them.

Jebus - to be in a position to have to choose hey?!?!?!

Personally roadster, no other reason than pose factor....sod the roof, even if it is a little miserable outside most of the time, heaters up, hat and scarf, you aren't that exposed in the roadster to get wet anyway....
