Extremely rare and desirable. Finished in gleaming Nero, this is one of only three UK right-hand drive examples fitted with a manual gearbox. These models represented the final opportunity to buy a naturally-aspirated, manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive Lamborghini.Valentino Balboni started working for Lamborghini on 21 April 1968, as an apprentice mechanic working his way up through the company until his retirement in 2009. In the 1980s, he was the only test driver who was simultaneously employed in prototype development, production and customer service at Lamborghini becoming the face of the brand and an ambassador for the company. In the 1990s, SantAgata began production of the Diablo and prominent customers in the USA, Japan and the Arab states often insisted on meeting Balboni in person, to hear about their new car directly from the chief test driver.Today, Balboni leads the life of an elder statesman and, despite retiring, he is still proud to be known worldwide as Mister Lamborghini, a witness to both the founding era of Ferruccio Lamborghini and to the age of carbon fibre. Anyone who has ever sat beside him in the passenger seat, their palms sweaty and their heart pounding, will never forget the experience.At the time of his retirement, the factory honoured their main man with a personal limited-edition of 250 that offered him a free hand to encapsulate all his favourite driving characteristics in one model. Based on the Gallardo 550, the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is rear-wheel drive, reducing the curb weight by 30 kg to 1,470 kg. The engine is rated at 542bhp and Lamborghini claims the Balboni can reach a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph) and despatch 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds.Upon its release in 2009, the vehicle was sold out immediately as, apart from being a stunning limited-edition celebrating a much-loved man, the Balboni was the first rear-wheel drive Lamborghini model for over 10 years and a unique opportunity to option a manual gearbox car.This, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car is one of only three UK-supplied Balbonis with the desirable manual gearbox finished in Nero and just 16,800 miles have been covered from new in the hands of its five careful owners.The specification for this particular example includes 19" Scorpius Multi-Spoke Alloy Wheels, Gloss Black Calipers, Satellite Navigation, Lifting Kit, Reversing Camera, Multi-Function Flat Bottom Leather Steering Wheel, Dual Climate Control and much more. It benefits from a Lamborghini service history completed at the following intervals:Lamborghini London:03/09/10 at 3,454 miles24/11/11 at 5,832 miles09/01/13 at 6,188 miles27/01/14 at 7,940 miles12/03/15 at 10,856 milesLamborghini Manchester:24/02/16 at 11,924 milesLamborghini London:24/04/19 at 16,200 milesLamborghini Birmingham:16/03/2021 at 16,648 milesFinished in Nero Noctis with full Nero Perseus leather interior with Balboni signature stripes and a centre console in Bianco Polar, this Special Edition is now ready for its next owner to join the very exclusive club of manual-gearbox Balboni ownership.A manual, rear-wheel drive, normally-aspirated, V10 is one for the pure driving enthusiast. It is also important to remember that this car was the last chance for customers to own a normally aspirated, rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox Lamborghini - the ultimate drivers experience from Sant'Agata.NB: The car has been the property of Silverstone Auctions Managing Director, Nick Whale, for the last two years.

A magnificent RS2000 that was subject to a bare shell, fully-documented restoration in the early 2000s whilst retaining its beautifully preserved, original Custom interior.It was back in 1970 that Ford introduced their Rally Sport models - the RS range. Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity, and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS 2000 Mk2 was launched, the term RS had grown to mean something a bit special.In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included the following; Fishnet Recaro seats, full door-cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13″ alloys, boot carpet, remote driver’s door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black.Offered here is a 1980 Ford Escort RS2000 superbly restored in the early 2000s, finished in its original body colour and retaining the original brown Custom Pack interior. Known and highly regarded within the RS owners club, the detailed bare shell restoration is fully documented with photographs before and during the works completed. Our private vendor informs us that the interior including the carpets and desirable fishnet Recaro seats remain original and beautifully preserved, with the clock in the pod functioning correctly.Standing up to the test of time today, this RS2000 presents rather well with the Diamond White paintwork retaining a deep gloss and the aforementioned original interior also presenting well. Mechanically, the Pinto fires up on-the-button and performs well running smoothly and accelerating through every gear. The car is accompanied by a large box-file full of history including a memory stick with photographic evidence documenting the restoration, a wealth of old MOTs, the original VIN plate, invoices for regular maintenance over the years. This lovely example will be offered serviced up-to-date and, although exempt, will have a fresh MOT.This is a superb opportunity to take ownership of a true 1980s icon, an RS finished in the colour of all competition Fords and well restored whilst retaining lots of originality. Excellent examples will continue to be in high demand and this one is offered at a realistic guide and ready to turn heads at any classic car event.
