    So I picked up a new customer this past week who just acquired this 2008 LP640 in Oro Elios metallic. I am trying to put together a little history for the new owner as they didn't get much information from Bentley Gold Coast who sold him the vehicle. From what I can find, this car was originally sold by Symbolic Motor Company and may possibly be the only LP640 finished in this color. If so, that means it's the car that years ago, made headlines as having traveled 219mph on Arizona highways. Any info is greatly appreciated. The new owner isn't very car savvy. Interestingly enough, we installed a breathalyzer in this vehicle last week which makes it very unique!! Ha.

    Here's a shot of me testing out the "new" starting sequence. Happy to report I do not have one of these devices in my personal vehicles!

    Now that's a cool color. Love it. Blow-thing in a Lambo? Can't say I've seen that before.

    Guess the owner liked to drink and drive in the past.

    That must be a hefty ins. premium he's paying.

    Wasn't this the car that did the high speed runs on the highway, then the owner posted the videos on youtube and almost got in trouble?

    I love that car. I remember seeing it at Symbolic a few years ago and was recently drooling over it while on sale at Gold Coast (there's got to be a pun here).

    That site always had/has some very good cars on it. It must print money as well.

    Spoke to a few contacts down in Southern California and have confirmed that this is a one-off car and was indeed originally purchased by the creator of FTV Girls. The PPG paint sticker attached to the trunk lid actually has the color name written on it instead of printed by a machine. Pretty neat. Same car that hit 219mph in Arizona. There are some small stress fractures in the front bumper cover that the sales representative told my customer were "speed" related. At first, I thought that was just a good excuse to cover up a mishap while the car was at the dealership, but now knowing this thing has been over 200mph, I would say it is a rather plausible theory! Speaking of FTV Girls, I had a close girlfriend that did a "solo" session for that company. No one knew about it until a local guy who obviously frequents that website, recognized her and then started spreading the word. Now all of her friends know about it. She went into hiding for a little while. Ego took a hit. If you're going to do that type of thing, you have to be prepared for the repercussions!! Needless to say, the girls/women he photographs have allowed him to own some pretty sweet rides!
