Is that the glass door option? So he could show off his pink chinos...

Don't all Senna's have that silly looking glass panel as standard ?

No, it was optional.

You might want to visit any modern fashion store. Pink shorts are in every single one of them, worn by a huge number of men.

With a Tyrrwhit or Gant shirt and a hoody?

You're not wrong about his odd clothes though.
Latest video has him in LA in pink shorts

I'll take your word for it. Do they also all own pink trans-it vans?

Totally.

I mean you need to strip apart a crash damaged car quite a lot to fix it which of course, didn’t happen to Tim’s.

Ah.

Wow they took off some damaged panels and replaced them
Big f***ing deal.

I had a Merc Estate that got scraped when parked and well they had to replace 2 doors and a front wing.
It was still just a scrape though

So, it got crashed into, had panels removed and replaced, but it’s not had crash damage?

‘It’s just a scrape, sir, tens of thousands of pounds of bespoke carbon panels and special order paint, but it’s just the same as if you scraped the front lip, sir’

FTFY.

Judging by Instagram posts, Freddie has been rebuilding and tuning the Mclaren 675LT guessing he needs a car for SEMA.

Interesting content coming up with Jay Leno as well.

I wonder if Tim will take the Zenvo to Jay Leno for it to be on his channel/show? maybe a visit to Manny and he might be interested in the Zenvo Aurora, same for the people from Triple F Collection and Hamilton Collection?

I wonder if progress in the P1 has been slower than hoped. The 675 was a Sema car last year so taking it back with a new engine isn’t really that special.

I do think the pieces are coming together on the P1 though and Freddy is going to prove a lot of us (me included) wrong and deliver a great car. I think he is going to have to clean the title though as at present it can’t be driven on the road. I don’t know the details of washing titles but I think a short stay in Canada can make things go away.

He’s heading North now having been in Beverly Hills. He isn’t coming south to OC (For Manny).

Also, I can’t see Manny as a Zeno kinda guy. Bit… kit car for him.

It will look a lot better when complete.

No, it'll look like one of Mat's projects when it's finished. I've said before; I love what he does and I hate what he creates.

I'm not a huge fan of the Rocket Bunny stuff like his Maserati but I'm keeping an open mind about this one.

His Insta also gave an explanation as to why things have slowed a little recently as he's stuck waiting on parts for the Ferrari....

That's outrageous money, I know the facelift Murci in manual is rare.... but that money would make it an expensive SV here!

I know a lot of Murcielago owners (and most especially US based car salesmen) that have been in a collective group wk that this will be another 1 million dollar sale (after all, plenty had "million dollar" + offers and they all know of this guy sold his for 1.2 million, just the sale went unverified sir, but it definitely happened because trust me). I think they're all rather disappointed now.

I love the Murcielago's, especially manual ones. The biggest issue with getting one converted to manual isn't that it's extremely complex (it really isn't), it's the fact that manual ECU's are very hard to come by. I'm at the point now where I'm genuinely surprised Lamborghini hasn't kicked it's heritage department into gear and said ''start offering manual conversions, you imbeciles". 75 grand a pop.

If you can't get hold of ECU's the best/easiest way to do it is to go full stand alone ECU and a digital (motec my preference) dash. Can even make the whole dash look like a digital carbon copy of the Murcielago. Given how poor the factory support is for certain parts it's probably a pretty smart route to take in the first place...

All that said, I agree. 700 grand is outrageous.

I like the RS6 Mat's building, I don't know if this is relevant but I'm 32 so I'm probably a bit more open to modification.
Not something I'd do to my own car, but I love what he's doing and can't wait to see the finished thing.

[jayemm89]

I've heard from many people that Polo Storico (the Lamborghini classic department) is shockingly bad.

Didn't Harry have issues with bits they supplied for the Espada?

That was his Countach gearbox, I think. They had quietly changed the design of some gearbox parts without mentioning that you also needed to buy the updated mating parts, so after waiting many weeks for your parts to arrive you then had to wait many more weeks after discovering you had to order more parts.

34 and the same but then I've been modding cars since I was 19. As my dad says, I'd lower a sledge if I could....

Correct, it was on his Countach gearbox, I seem to remember that Ian had a gear made in the end as it was not available from Lamborghini.

John Temerian (Curated) and Ed Bolian (VinWiki) seem to be on a mission to hype up prices using every bit of influence they have and prices do look to be a lot higher in the US compared to Europe.

It is not like they have vested interests in the market or anything!
How many does Ed own?
