Every time this car comes up for sale, I want it more than anything in the world. I think this is the 2nd time since it was sold new. In fact I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the dealer who sold it new post about it and how wonderful it was on Lamborghini Talk. Ever since then I've told myself that someday, somehow, I'm going to own this car. It's probably one of the coolest cars they have ever made...LP670 SV, with a stick, in white, with the big wing. If James Hunt was a car, this would be it. I can only imagine how that shifter feels going through the gears. I better stop before I go too far...

It's been at the same dealer for months now, I go look at it on eBay every now and then.

I'd pay double what they're asking if I had the money. It's the perfect Lamborghini.

You know, if things look good for me in the future, and a manual Murcie SV is for sale a year and a half from now, I may be purchasing one.

NOT IF I GET THERE FIRST!!!

But seriously you should if you can, then we know a Jalop would have bought it.

I literally almost said that in my reply haha. If I had a million bucks I'd happily spend it on this. Just needs a nice exhaust and it's good to go. I'd put a million miles on it too. I'd drive it everywhere.

No. Hunt wouldn't drive it, he was a BMC guy.

I think he'd drive this. I think anyone with a pulse would drive this, most likely. I'm not sure what else he'd drive in this day and age.

Yes, and I'm not sure how many but I've heard single digits. This is the only one thats legal for sale in the US. And likely the last manual V12 Lamborghini ever made.

Me too. Everywhere.

Time to get the mail? Oh no problem I'll just hop in the SV to fly down the driveway quick.

An Austin A35. It was already old as fuck back in the day so I don't think he'd mind.

The great thing about this Murc SV still being for sale is that I'm in Houston, which is where it is at as well. Hopefully nobody takes any interest and I can find it still for sale down the line, amazing in white. If it's still being held at the Lamborghini dealership in town, I'm only a few miles away from it and can go to look at it any time.

I propose a new law:

"Federal law requires that all vehicles be produced with gated manuals"

SOMEONE GET ME THE PRESIDENT

That's great news. You're quite a bit closer than I am haha. Sounds like you might get the jump on me here :p

Luckily for me I am. Hey who doesn't want to go grocery shopping every day? Gives you another chance to drive your manual LP670.

EXACTLY. You've got your priorities straight if that's what you're doing every day.

I would say so. I think I'd find a lot of things to do every single day if I owned that car.
