    I bought a 10 month old LP640 e-gear today. The car is being traded on a Roadster arriving in a couple of months but the owner was willing to transfer ownership early to Lambo Melbourne so I could get it now. Car is pearl yellow and has 7,000km. No options as far as I can tell except for e-gear and the paint - I think the satnav is standard?

    I should pick it up in the next few days as the car already lives in Adelaide. There are some pics on the site already as the car was in the Murray Walker display at Clipsal.

    The owner (who is a delightful bloke) also has an F430 Spider, a new Range Rover and a RR Phantom.

    :D

    No, you are right. The thread should have read "I visited a bloke with a Spider today..." :D

    Wow! I didn't expect that, very happy for you. :)

    Time to return to the Alice I think, couple of LP640's that are virgins to the area.

    IIRC satnav isn't standard, the DVD is.

    get the transparent engine lid. I believe his engine cover is optional too.

    Congratulations... nice purchase!

    I reckon I've met the guy you bought it from, and you're right... he is a top bloke.

    Enjoy! :)

    It will be interesting to hear how it is to live with given you tend to do a few k's.

    Great choice Mark, is this the roadster in question you were telling me about? :)

    Another yellow Lambo is a great choice. :D

    Enjoy it in great health! :):)
