2005 LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SE - MANUAL

KEY FACTS

• A stunning example of the limited-edition SE series, restricted to just 250 units worldwide.
• It is equipped with a 5.0-litre V10 producing 513bhp – 20bhp more than the standard car – coupled in this case to the desirable six-speed manual open-gate transmission with shorter ratios.
• This Gallardo SE is an original UK-market car, and was first registered in November 2005. It is car number 80 of the 250 examples built.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Boasting sport suspension, enhanced steering, a new alloy wheel design, and a two-tone colour scheme; the Gallardo SE is a rare and thrilling supercar.
• The SE is distinguishable from the regular Gallardo by its black roof and engine cover, creating the unique two-tone appearance, as well as black wing mirrors, and black front and rear spoilers.
• Moving inside, the SE features a two-tone interior further distinguishing it from the standard Gallardo, with Giallo Midas stitching, piping, door panels and console inlays.
• Additional equipment on the SE model includes a rear-view camera, multimedia screen, and sport steering wheel. It also rides on specially designed 19-inch Callisto split-rim alloy wheels.
• Accompanying this Gallardo SE are the original owner’s manual and stamped service book in their factory wallet, along with a file of service invoices and MOT certificates. Also present are the Gallardo’s original toolkit and two keys.

CONDITION

• There is no known prior damage or repairs to the bodywork, which presents in excellent condition.
• Commensurate with the car’s low mileage, the Giallo Midas finish presents very well, with the vendor noting no major blemishes, and only minor marks from road use that you would expect; including a small chip on the bonnet, slight glazing to rear lamp, and a small scratch inside the nearside door shut.
• The leather upholstery presents with minimal wear to the driver's seat and some minor rippling in the leather on the driver’s door. Embossed in the headrests is the Lamborghini shield, while the Lamborghini script also appears on the dashboard.
• There is some wear around the steering wheel rim and on the driver’s floor mat, as well as scratches on the exposed spherical metal gear knob, but these do not detract from the overall impressive presentation.
• The vendor has reported no electrical faults and no warning lights present on the dashboard.
• The most recent MOT test was on 16 August 2021 at 28,619 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects. In fact, other than a failure because of a faulty registration plate light in 2012, the car has never had even a single advisory.
• The car’s wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres all round, in fitment 235/35/ZR19 at the front and 295/30/ZR19 at the rear.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The last service was undertaken at 28,625 miles, which was an annual service and brake fluid change carried out by SMDG Performance.
• Prior to this, the car received new suspension bushes, a new rear brake light unit, fresh coolant, and new heater pipes at 28,488 miles, carried out by Diablo Engineering.
• In September 2020 at 28,297 miles, Aldo Riti’s renowned Riverside Performance Engineering business, carried out an engine oil and filter change, also replacing the spark plugs, coil packs, and rear brake hoses.
