I'm pretty sure i know what the educated masses will say, but...

I have a 360 modena (which i swapped into from a 550 which was also fine to drive) and a Jensen Interceptor SP at the moment and I am thinking of junking the 360 at some point and swapping it for an early Murcielago (only because i couldn't afford to buy one without losing the 360)

I am also 6'5"... I've say in Murci's in a showroom and i fit - it's a squeeze, but doable. But that was an eGear car and I'm certain that once you add the clutch into the mix it might be a different story. I can drive an eGear Gallardo ok.

My budget would be around £80k...

So my immediate thoughts would be to find somewhere that has an early Murci that is happy to let me fart around for 20 minutes trying to get comfy, get the seat right etc and then drive it to check all is well (i realise my dream could end up in pieces at this point)

Anyone got any thoughts on this one?

Thanks

might be worth mentioning where you are - an accomodating owner may step forward?
