Epic thread drift!
All three are Luca di Montezemolo cars. That's all that matters. The QP is huge value for the money and so much sexier than the newer QP. 612 is also a favourite of mine. It just looks so f*cking expencive and I love that. ✌️ 550 is the modern 275 GTB and will always be my dream car. My buddy and business partner has 15 Lamborghinis of "all" models except Huracan and his father has another 12. thise cars are very exciting and pieces of art but not very usable. For me a referance point. But the sheer mix of both performance and the classy conduct of the 550 + build quality AND analogue manual V12, and its heritage from the old front engine V12s..... Simply unbeatable.Given the thread is 550 vs 612, I thought I should balance things out a bit after @Guy's 612 photos, with one of my 550 & QP combo. Reiterating the earlier comments from @F456M, it's an absolutely brilliant car and incredibly versatile - it will eat through hours of motorway driving in absolute comfort and then turn it on as soon as you hit the twistier stuff. I am a huge fan of the 612 though, and personally really like the styling.

Is yours in Blu Pozzi? Looks great. I would have loved one in that colour, but there are very few examples (even fewer in RHD)All three are Luca di Montezemolo cars. That's all that matters.

Yes Blu Pozzi D.S. 521 (D.S. means "doppio strato" which is Italian for base coat + clear coat). Polishing pad will not get blue like on solid blue one stage paint... Interior is Crema (light beige).Is yours in Blu Pozzi? Looks great. I would have loved one in that colour, but there are very few examples (even fewer in RHD)
Yes, I'm watching that; curious what a Cat D will make.This one looks well looked after and low miles, @ £36k but below reserve with only 10 hours to go

Interesting that. Negatives being a cat car, blue interior, early car. But a unicorn manual example. I reckon reserve will be £50-60k. Who knows, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole, but that’s because I sell them and don’t touch write-offs. As an ownership prospect it may be worth a look.Yes, I'm watching that; curious what a Cat D will make.
