Gallardo SL at Motorhub. Am I mad?

[dwndraft20]

Looking for gen.1 Gallardo Superleggera for some time now. I have some specific options I need ticked, and haven't found the right one.
I am in Europe and need LHD. Saw the grey LHD SL at "Motorhub", and like the spec.
However, it took 2min with google to learn that I should just RUN away!

Now, after not finding the right spec elsewhere, I am starting to wonder, if the CAR is OK, maybe I should consider to take a look..? I am getting mad?

Anybody seen it IRL?
I actually wonder, was it Twin turboed at some time? Based on the odd hole for intercooler in the front bumper?

Anyone ever seen the car in real life?
Motorhub does not answer emails...(not a good sign IMO)

Still wonder about that front air intake and lack engine pictures from their adds..

So this is what we know:

Non correct-modified rear decklid
Hole in front bumper (intercoolee..?)
Big red button added in center console

Unsure about:
Never seen other SL with harness WITHOUT the harnessbar.
Seats look lile the LP SL seats to me. Triangle-sharp headrests.

I do not feel comfortable, and does not sound lile the seller is going to help with that.

I agree,car is not worth the trouble.
Anybody know of a good 1.gen LHD SL, let me know.

I really want the harness. Lambo told me it cannot me retrofittet.
I am thinking about going to see it, as ir does look good, despite the missing SL side decal.

I think you are right about the seats. I’ll check the configuration against my Gen1 SL later which has the factory fitted harnesses.

Seats are identical to mine and mine are the carbon backed buckets

Checked the MK1 SL at VVS, seats look identical to that one.

I was unsure, some seats looks more sharp on the headrest.

Thanks, I will keep my eyes open!

I've checked both SLs out there, I live locally and fully aware of the dealer and their rep when I was researching them myself, useful as they were close.
I bought a perfect RHD SL1 example from a reputable dealer.

They have 'stories' as do all cars there, fine if you go in with low ball offers and have it expertly checked over or can tackle repairs yourself. The instant compromise is you'll find it very hard to move on, that might not bother you.

For example, their RHD SL is Cat D (or 'Autolign Checked' but it's still viewed as Cat D by anyone else), on it's 3rd engine, bad repairs, used replacement body parts, aftermarket ampliifer in the frunk, no history (apart from some engine rebuild invoices I saw), owned by a 'supercar hire company' whose owner is now in jail. Various clips on YT of it being bounced off the limiter at weddings/proms etc.

The LHD has various cosmetic issues at first glance, not sure about mechanicals, but from the Middle East with no service history - I'll let you decide.

You could argue the price reflects, but the fact these guys are trying to move it pretty much makes it impossible to move on afterwards, they've had the LHD in their parking lot for at least 18+months. The RHD keeps getting advertised at various outlets under different dealers at different prices.

No point in asking them questions - you will not get any truth, just go and see it - still worth a look.

Thanks! This is really helpfull! ... I will keep on looking for good cars.
