Love this thread and the sense of history in all the pics.

At first I was slightly frustrated with how everything came in phases because I want to see it all at once - but I must say you are an expert in the art of cliffhanging

 

Agree, Great thread

 

what`s the going price for your 55 by now?

I love the 55s ext design and still like it more than the newer SLs

On the subject of Mercs, I spotted this FAB Design SLS. That car park is just insane!

 

I am not quite sure. My car was very special, but a standard 55 is not that expensive by now. From 25-30.000 EURO. And you can do many nice mods to it. A super buy!!!

And I agree, car still looking good.

How about his one..... it even has "real gold" letters on the back...

 

Those pace cars always sounded brutally terrific! Thanks for posting the info

The story 1:

After selling my Ferrari 360 F1 Spider..... and having made some more money, it was once again time for buying another sports car.

A super sports car... the Lamborghini Murciélago. It was just THE perfect car next to my SL 55 ///AMG.

very nice example!

in which year did you get it?



I was asking about your F1 55 because I`ve never seen one for sale yet,...
yes and the 55s are really low in price by now but I`d rather get an original looking one with fewer mls and pay a bit more

I`m sure you have soo so many things to tell about your way over the years,..you could write a book!
And it would sell like hot cakes!
Even just with those pics I can`t wait until the next update every day...very interesting and impressive!

The story 2:

My brand new Lamborghini was in the stunning Giallo Orion, a fantastic color for an extreme design like this. And yellow & black interior.

It was a MY06 that Lamborghini S.p.A build for me, with upgraded brakes, gearbox, software, springs and quite a few pieces from the LP640 that we tested (many months before the LP640 hit the market)

It also had the "Branding Package', which comprises the Lamborghini logo in relief on the headrests and the coloured Lamborghini logo on the gun black wheels.

Before I took delivery my friend Walter Koenig had send a racing exhaust (each pipe 12 cm in diameter and a SICK sound - the extra loud version) and some other small goodies that Lamborghini installed for me.

I just loved the Murciélago....and why?.....:


"Endless V12 power, celebrity presence, fit for a bodyguard, seductive engine and exhaust noises, confident handling at the limit."
