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.

The legendary RS2. A UK-supplied, right-hand drive example having recently emerged from long-term storage. Showing just 33,748 miles and finished in the desirable Nogaro Blue.The Audi RS2 is a limited-edition, high-performance five-door estate car manufactured between March 1994 and July 1995. It was an exciting collaboration between Audi and Porsche built on Audi’s 80 Avant model as a basis and, priced at £45,705 even 28 years ago, it was by no means inexpensive. Specially-finished Audi 80 Estate shells were shipped to Porsche’s Zuffenhausen facility in Stuttgart where they were fitted and enhanced with Porsche-designed suspension and braking system components.The Audi 2.2-litre, five-cylinder, 20-valve turbocharged engines were also enhanced for good measure by Porsche including the fitment of a KKK turbocharger. A six-speed manual transmission delivered power to all four wheels, through a manually activated locking differential at the rear axle. The resultant power output was a substantial 311bhp at 6,500rpm and 302lb-ft of torque at 3,000rpm, which enabled the RS2 to sprint from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 163mph.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example that was showing 33,748 miles at the time of cataloguing and is finished in desirable Nogaro Blue with Nogaro blue Alcantara with black hide seating. The V5 shows only two former keepers and this particular example has just emerged from a period of long-term storage.Between cataloguing the RS2, and the car arriving at the Silverstone Classic event, the car will be sent to our vendor's chosen specialist engineering company to carry out some light mechanical recommissioning following its long-term storage. Invoices and details of this work will be available to view over the course of the Silverstone Classic weekend or can be sent to you in advance. We, therefore, welcome and encourage all interested parties to come and see the car for themselves at the sale.The Audi RS2 has earned cult status amongst motoring enthusiasts and collectors which is not surprising considering that it was a collaboration between two giant and well-respected car manufacturers, production numbers were small (especially right-hand drive examples) and the RS2 was also the first model in Audi’s now legendary ‘RS’ performance line.There were less than 3,000 of these remarkable Audis produced for the worldwide market and just 180 were made in right-hand drive format making this a very rare and sought-after car in today’s market and, with this particular example being low mileage, low ownership and finished in a desirable colour combination, this certainly seems to be a very rare opportunity.SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: RS2Year: 1995Chassis Number: 8CSZ000809Registration Number: M898 LYYEngine Number: ADU0002950 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

#68/100, this meticulously restored example is surely the finest JPS to come to market in recent years.Technically called the World Championship Commemorative Model, but more colloquially known as the John Player Special, this was the first and arguably the most memorable limited edition Esprit from Lotus. Dubbed the JPS due to its distinctive black and gold livery, inspired by the ground effect, JPS-sponsored, championship-winning Lotus 79 cars of the period, as raced by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Petersen. Originally planned to build 200 examples, it was believed that just 185 were produced, 100 for the UK, 55 for the United States and 30 for Europe. The eye-catching specification included gold-coloured side-stripes complete with World Champion lettering, gold-coloured front and rear windscreen surrounds and alloy wheels, gold-effect corduroy seat inserts and a three-spoke leather rimmed steering wheel instead of the normal plastic offering. The 'Juke Box' installed was a Hitachi Digi-One radio-cassette. The 1973cc, 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp which was sufficient to sprint the 1,980lb glass fibre-bodied, two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124 mph. The short production run lasted from December 1978 to July 1979.This immaculate example is Number 68, however, as we understand and know Lotus from that period, it is unknown what number it was in the production line. Our vendor confessed to getting somewhat carried away with the restoration, and as part of the process, #68 had a full body-off, glass-out restoration, including a respray and new stickers to ensure no stone was unturned and the car would be as good as new, if not better, which we feel he’s achieved by some distance. A number of top specialists have been involved in the car's transformation and the results are very impressive with a fabulous level of finish yet maintaining the character of the car, which is no easy feat!The restoration catalogue is fantastic, featuring new aluminium fuel tanks, brake line hoses, new aluminium radiator, new coolant hoses, Wilwood front callipers and disks (originals to go with the car) and new suspension and bushes all round. The engine was overhauled including new liners, crank reground and new pistons circa 2000 miles ago and a stainless-steel exhaust system including 4 into 1 manifold fitted to help it sing. The list goes on, making for pleasant reading and an even more pleasant driving experience.The history file is nicely detailed and contains dozens of old invoices and MOTs. Superbly presented and indicating only 72,746 miles, this is an exceptionally high-quality example that would cost a small fortune to replicate. With the combination of comfortable mileage and the quality of restoration, this very special Lotus would sit equally as perfectly in the hands of a collector as it would in the hands of an enthusiast wanting to get out and drive it.With Lotus cars of the future destined to have electric hearts, there cannot be a better time to pick up the old-school and experience the cars that made the David and Goliath brand from Norwich withstand the test of time with such flying colours.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT S2 JPSYear: 1979Chassis Number: 79020661GRegistration Number: TOI 9585Transmission: ManualEngine Number: CC907790216073 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 72746 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black and CreamClick here for more details and images
