V10 Gallardo as a weekender

What's not to like about an earlier V10 Gallardo with a tempting price though some may prefer a cabrio and of course carrying a large fire extinguisher is advisable, to be sure.
Old school is the way to go with Doug DeMuro.

Excuse the over excited presenter.
Nice video Rick! I think that with that mileage and going off at auction, its a good steal. With our weather, I'd personally stick to hard top given the amount of rainfall and cold weather we get. Funny how most Lambo's today are still derived from the Gallardo head and back lights imho. I wonder if the car is a one owner car.

I don't think it makes any difference if one owner or more, it could be the first owner may not have been a good driver but those after him were more considerate with the Gallardo's strengths and weaknesses. That the doors open normally is a big plus with me.
My choice would only be a cabrio with the rear wing (that is if it comes with one for the cab)

You and your rear wings

But no honestly, I would agree on the doors - not all hypercars have to have the scissor doors, could name one or two that don't.

There's chap with an early yellow one that goes past where I live at the mo once in a while to visit his folks likely about two roads away, its the coupe with a carbon rear wing. I found it walking the dog in that specific direction and I was just gob smacked. I will not now even look at all the others at £200k plus after seing this one, one day I hope to catch him for a few words.

I wonder if a 1998 Civic Lambo scissor doors conversion kit would work on the Gallardo...
