Lamborghini Colour choices ( or rather, the lack of...)
Discussion
OK, Imagine the scene. You find that if you disregard reality just a smidge, you may be able to buy a Gallardo LP560.
So you hit the net and see whats on the Autotrader and on the tinternet in general.
Mindful that there is a recession on, the idea of a demo or ultra low mileage used one , with warranty, makes lots of sense. There are some big discounts out there.
But something strange has happened. It seems that 80% of LP560's in the UK are WHITE for gawds sake.
Did some clown in Lamborghini UK order a job lot of 2 dozen Gallardo's in white? Why?
Faced with a choice of white, white, maybe one or two black ones, white, and an orange one if you are lucky, or white , one finds oneself looking at Ferrari's instead.
Look up the official Lambo site, most of the cars in their stock are white too...
Whats going on?

White was the LP560 launch colour so many buyers chose it from the publicity material and motor show cars and all dealer launch cars were white. When I had my Bianco Cygnus flat white 06 Gallardo it was something of a novelty as most cars were either yellow or black then (yellow being the original launch colour). Now white is common place as you say.
t, and come sale time, someone else'll have the desirable colour in pristine condition underneath But they look so good in white 
There are 2 orange ones for sale though

Another thing I've noticed about the UK 560's is that most of them are on standard Callisto alloys instead of the Cordellia alloys... why is this?
... just my 'umble opinion, obviously but the cross-spoke alloys look too much like the BMW alloys of yesteryear so don't look at all right on a Lamborghini.These, however, do look right, again just in my opinion really...
thanks to Leslie R. for this pic!

Yea they're very nice!
Personally i think most of the pre- LP lambo's on the market are overpriced - they make 430's look like a bargain...
