Lamborghini Gallardo LP530-4 Superleggera, 2008. One owner, 10,983 km, service books from new.

Sant'Agata Bolognese, 2007. While the rest of the car world was still catching its breath after the standard Gallardo, Lamborghini decided the whole thing could do with another turn of the screw. No soft facelift, no extra chrome, just the knife going in. Literally. The Superleggera, the 'super light', in which the engineers managed, with an almost fanatical obsession, to wrestle 100 kilos out of the car by replacing quite literally everything they could with carbon. Door panels, the bonnet, the diffuser, even parts of the interior. As if someone at Sant'Agata woke up one morning and thought: today, we hate weight.

The result was a Gallardo that was not just faster, but sharper. More direct. A car that does not ask whether you are ready for it, but simply assumes you are. The 5.0 V10 gained twenty bhp to 530, the gearbox turned more aggressive, and the sound, oh, that sound. A V10 that somewhere north of 6,000 rpm switches from a civilised growl to something best described as an orchestra deciding to burn all the sheet music and simply improvise.

This was Lamborghini at its best: no compromises, no comfort faff, just a bull that had trained itself down to racing weight. And let us be honest, there is something gloriously old-fashioned about a car that still does its job with ten cylinders and no turbo. Pure, linear, and with a sound you would recognise anywhere.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 91 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 4 March 2008 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the online auction on our own website. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. The price shown is the full price for collection in Katwijk. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.

Prefer a different colour or specification than this example? Tell us what you are looking for — another Lamborghini we can often find through our network of marque specialists and collectors, outside the listings. Have one of your own: we buy exceptional cars outright, classic or modern.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
