The Lamborghini Gallardo was launched in 2003. With its striking appearance, powerful 5. 0 V10 engine and four-wheel drive capability, it was an immediate success. As the first car produced by Lamborghini after its acquisition by Audi, the Gallardo successfully combined German construction expertise with Lamborghini's unique styling and engineering. Over 14, 000 Gallardos were produced from 2003 to 2014, making it Lamborghini's most successful car to date.

This particular example was delivered to its first owner by Lamborghini London in September 2004. It has been exclusively maintained by Lamborghini main dealers (with 14 stamps in the service books to date) and has covered just 25, 804 miles from new. The car, in Lamborghini’s signature colour “Giallo Midas”, features a black leather interior with subtle yellow stitching and is in immaculate condition both inside and out.

During the pre-sales preparation, the car underwent a meticulous detailing process, culminating in the application of two layers of Swissvax's remarkable Crystal Rock car wax. This cutting-edge car wax contains an impressive 76% Brazilian ivory carnauba wax by volume, forming a sleek and lustrous shield on the car's paintwork. Not only does it provide a durable and water-resistant barrier, but it also boasts a longevity of up to 12 months.

Featuring a 5. 0 litre V10 "even firing" engine, many believe this model offers a far superior engine and exhaust note, compared to the 2008 and later models, with their 5. 2 litre V10 "odd firing" engines.

This car is particularly desirable as it is a coupe, which are rarer than the cabriolet version and it is one of the very few Gallardos fitted with a 6-speed open gate manual gearbox. It is estimated that only 3% of the entire worldwide production run were manual cars, making this RHD example an even rarer find.

The manual gearbox allows the driver to experience modern supercar performance, road holding and handling, while also enjoying the pure analogue driving sensations and control, that come with a 3-pedal car.

In a world where many supercars now only offer semi-automatic driving systems, being able to savour the pure driving joy, a Gallardo with a manual box can provide, is an increasingly rare and very special opportunity.

The car is fitted with dual-zone climate control. In addition, it is equipped with a comprehensive multimedia system, incorporating sat nav, radio/ cd/ tv and additional plug-in cabling in the glove box for a smartphone. All dials, switches, lights, multimedia and climate control systems operate as they should.

A beautiful chrome gear lever sits within a gated box and is a welcoming sight for any driving enthusiast, adding to the car’s already brilliant driving experience.

As a low mileage, manual coupe in arguably the best colour and with a full Lamborghini service history, this car represents an excellent opportunity to own one of the most sought-after Gallardos currently available. Additionally, it offers great value when compared to a manual Ferrari 430 of similar condition and mileage.
