The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2023 Cars 202 Registration: YJ07 CZA Chassis No.: ZHWGEZZT67LA05181 Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000 Specialist: Simon Langsdale Telephone No: 07496 556325 Lot 687 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder - Ex-Wayne Rooney & Carlos Tevez The arrival of the LP560-4 (560PS and four-wheel drive) in 2008 was a serious evolutionary step forward for the Gallardo, with sharper design elements incorporated to enhance the striking coachwork whilst retaining the signature purity of line. It was powered by a new uneven firing and more economical 5.2-litre V10 engine, featuring direct fuel injection and producing 552bhp. At the same time, the E-gear was revised to offer a Corsa mode, making gear changes 40% quicker than before and also reduced the amount of traction control intervention. A thrust mode launch control system was added also. Some 20kg lighter than its predecessor, the LP560-4 offered 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 202mph. The interior was pure Lamborghini, retaining the heritage of hand-stitched leather and simplicity of design. Compared to its rival, the Ferrari F430, the Gallardo’s cabin is a well thought out combination of elegance, luxury and simplicity. This very special LP560-4 Gallardo Spyder was registered on 18th April 2007 to its first keeper, a Mr Wayne Rooney of Manchester United fame, supplied by Lamborghini Birmingham. This Gallardo sports a black-on-black colour scheme, and rides on the correct set of 19” ‘Cassiopia’ alloy wheels with Lamborghini centre caps, framing yellow brake callipers and shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Included in the factory specification were electrically-adjustable heated seats, electric folding door mirrors, dual-zone climate control, a central ‘info-tainment’ screen with a reversing camera and satellite navigation, and a boot-mounted 6CD changer. Not only did Wayne Rooney own the car, the second owner was Carlos Tevez, an Argentinian player who, after being mocked by many of the Manchester squad for not owning a supercar, was gifted the Gallardo by Rooney as he felt sorry for him! Nice friend to have. The car is supplied with a comprehensive history file including many invoices and receipts, and of course a stamped service book within its book pack, backing up the indicated 27,000 miles. Recently fitted with a new clutch, the car is pin sharp and ready to please its next custodian. Please visit our website for a full list of services to date. In total, the car has only had three registered keepers, so the two above and one other since 2007. Supplied with both keys, this fabulous Lamborghini with its superb provenance is surely one for the collector. Gifted by its first owner, Wayne Rooney, to his friend, Carlos Tevez, as apparently he didn’t have one ! More Details Lot 687 Bid On Lot 687
