The car was doing well - I sold it to amari, who sold it on - unfortunatley it was written off by the new owner, in spite on me realising my mistake in letting it go - but alas, it was too late. I understand that it was converted/canibalised into a roadster.

The GT is one awesome car - which I would really like to own, but not as a daily driver, as the 6.0L 2WD was. Preferably in Orancio Altas. Please!

Can't think of too many people who use their Lambo as a daily driver, no matter which model thay happen to own. Have to admit though that the GT is indeed probably more uncomfortable than most.

To be quite honest, I think the GT ride is more than acceptable - for me, it's was just the left hand drive and overtaking in the UK (having to have a passenger to make sure it's cool to hoon....)!

Great cars and I still want one!

It's not the ride that's the problem, it's the massive pedal offset that can have you wincing - especially if you're tall. Never found overtaking to be a problem, just need to plan ahead a little. Besides, in any given year the majority of my mileage is on the mainland, where left hand drive is a positive advantage.

If you seriously want to get hold of one, there's always one or two for sale in Switzerland or Germany. Haven't checked prices lately, but I don't think a UK sourced car (if one ever came up for sale) would be any cheaper.

I know of a GT for sale in the UK...or rather it was a few weeks ago. Its a well sorted car from all accounts, though I haven't seen it in the flesh.

If you want some more details drop me a PM smile

I too heard the black one had sold, and I'm not aware that Alvin has put his up for sale. Don't know of any others in the UK.

Sorry for the late reply, not the black one. I knew that was for sale, but was sold recently. This is another car.
