We shot this before Supercar Ron made it public that he was the owner, hence the omission. Be sure to follow his channel to see what he does with it and how he legalizes the car! He got a great one.
Hey Ed, illegal to drive doesn't mean illegal to own. I'd love to get my great grandfather's Mercury Grand Marquis though. Restore it, update some of the stuff like brakes and suspension, and keep it in the family a few more generations.
I’m sorry, but I refuse to watch that supercar Ron guy. Although the cars he owns and features are amazing, that fake beard and glasses gimmick is simply annoying and silly.
I can barely find much on the brown sports car thing. We need a video on that! I own a Dark Metallic Brown Continental, all original and while its not a sports car, I really have a problem with this. Brown, at the end of the day, is just dark orange. So orange, is light brown, and I do have an orange sports car. Lawmakers are way out of control...
it's to "protect" the local market and US automakers, in reality the law should be like many other places in the world, you can import whatever you want but you just have to pay high taxes.
@@rbs14k the amount of modded cars in Florida is significantly higher than in Cali to just put that into perspective. You’re way more likely to get a state ref in Cali than in Florida if even.
The US got lobbied many decades ago into “protecting” domestic car production. So unless it’s build here, it cannot be sold here for the first 25 years. It is a bit lame.
@@hector-1810 It was Mercedes Benz who did the lobbying to protect their US Market sales, due to the higher ups not liking the fact that people were importing the euro spec models through the grey market.
Hey Ed! I just wanted to let you know that I agree that the manual Murci SV is the greatest car ever made, and my ultimate dream car. I’m 16 and recently made a pledge to myself that someday I would own the orange one that is currently in China, since that’s my dream spec. Essentially, I’m saying that if you don’t manage to own a Manual Murci SV in the next 10 to 20 years, you’re going to have some competition. Love the content!
@@somenygaard his personal opinion is a bit different than yours or mine as being infuential figure and spreading nonsense how 6 speed lp640 is worth 2 million dollars when at that time not a single one has ever exhanged hands for anything north of 7 figures is called market manipulation. This is my opinion
I might be your guy! I live in Canada and have a home in a country setting, away from the city. Currently have storage for my vintage Mercedes (It can be moved out and sit in the rain and snow) and I can drive it up to 50,000 km - and every year you can take it back to Currated to attempt to sell it for a while. Lets do this!
Did they stop allowing for 1 import a year for USPS drivers? Thats how my friend used to bring Skylines in 15 years ago. We had a couple buddies that worked for the postal service, they could bring in right hand drives “for their job” then after they were titled for US he would sell and give them a kick back. I have no idea if still allowed but used to work pretty well if you have a buddy that runs a mail route.
Got a chance to walk the showroom on a visit and it's an experience you have to do once. John was with a customer, but Stephan was there, friendly, and we got to walk through the TWO Hammers they had in the showroom. Surreal...
So Ed, have you ever tried to get a petition to modify the 25 year rul going? Obviously Canada has the 15 year rule and that would more than suffice imo, or at least have it be the first step to getting it to where it should be (5 years unfortunately, but at least that should in theory keep the automakers somewhat happy). The best solution, would be for the US (and Canada as a result) to adopt the Euro standards for safety and emissions going forward, and being able to retroactively apply them to older cars, thus negating the 25 year rule in the first place. I'm sure that would save a lot of the automakers money in the long run, and allow for cars that probably wouldn't be super successful in the US (wagons and diesels specifically) to be shipped over by the manufacturer directly as they wouldn't have to make a bunch of small changes to federalize them. Idk why we have different standards, despite sharing an atmosphere and humans sharing the same basic body structure. Also I'd propose a massive tariff (like 50%+) on China made vehicles to prevent those disgraceful pieces of cheap dishonest junk from showing up here.
Have to agree with you Ed, after learning of the rarity of these last manual Lambo’s, I had to look up the options and colors available for that SV. I do like the spec in the video, but have to say I’d be partial to traditional red or black with the large wing and large SV script.
Ed, you slowing that shot down heading to get in the car cracked me up, those bright orange shoes just gripped me brother. Nice to be able to drive this car for a "special" occasion, considering it's only here on a one year visa lol. G-d bless.
-Owned a gray market import car, an '85 Porsche 928S2 5 speed for 19 years. It was a pain in the ass to register the first time, but after that it was a breeze. These had around 330 crank horsepower when an '85 Corvette had 235. It was a fun car and dirt cheap at $10,600 in May of 1999. I drove that car to Michigan and Ontario, to North Carolina, and all over Flori-Duh. It only stranded me once in 19 years, and that was only because I went cheap and let a local idiot shop, now out of business, install a shift linkage that I couldn't get at. The reason Porsche never sold the 928S2 was for emissions regulations, but after the '86 model year they cut this program off due to pressure from GM, Ford, and Chrysler because these gray market cars were so much faster. For example, my nearly stock [Borla exhaust...] 928S2 5 speed ran a 13.86@105 at Bithlo speedway, when an '85 Corvette was in the low 15's...... The only reason I sold this car, with the final four digits of the VIN as 1526 is that I was simply tired of it. It was beautiful, it was fast, and when me and the spouse went out on Friday nights the restaurant would ask to valet park it for FREE and put it in front of the place for the glamourous look. It cost me nothing to own and did everything right but I simply, after 19 years, wanted another toy. So I drive a '14 Cayman S today. The Cayman is great, but I really enjoyed tinkering with the 928, something I can't do with the Cayman S.
As a lifelong avid motorcyclist and former racer, I know very little about supercars other than some of them seem really cool. That said, I really enjoyed your presentation on this car. Well done.
I feel the same about a 300sl roadster. How can people buy a watch instead of the most beautiful car ever made. It’s $1.5m and just to look at let alone drive, it’s worth far more than that
The perfect car for Damon fryer and dde. He would get rid or the pre LP even with the body kit just for this one. Plus he is from Canada and could make it work
6:15 This interesting, cuz manual gearboxed cars in general has always been cheaper than automatic gearboxes, here in Europe you always when for the manual for 2 reasons historically. 1. this was ALOT cheaper with manual gearbox. 2. easier to sell a used car with manual gearbox 3. less and cheaper repairs with manual gearbox 4. Its more FUN with manual gearbox Cuz Automatic gearboxes did before always been seen as a "luxury thing" on the car market in Europe cuz it did cost a lot more ordering a car with an Automatic. Today, its wise versa, today is the manual gearbox the luxurious option and also a sign of that the owner and driver of the manual car is a real car person with good tase.
My ultimate car from lamborghini would be a fully carbon restomod diablo 6.0 vt with the manual 6 shifter from the murc, and the fully powered up engine from the last aventador, including its breaks and suspension. Best of all worlds. Also include modern aero ofcourse.
There is a 2009 Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce (SV) for sale at Elite Garage AG in Switzerland, listed on Classic Driver. This model comes with an automatic transmission.
I vagally remember from decades ago, I read that anyone can bring in any car of any year (even brand new, no mods required), but you can only do it once and for personal use only, not for resale (flipping). Was this done and could this be done today? You didn't explain why no brown paint allowed on "sports cars"?
Whilst there is a cross over, I don’t feel like an average merci buyer and your average f1 buyer are the same. When I see an f1 owner it’s either going to be a very wealthy man of class when it comes to cars or an investment banker who sees a maturing future . A merci however could be owned by a man such as yourself, who understands that they are lovely, usable cars that represent a huge step forward for the brand, or a plastic surgeon on his 12th wife who loved the dark knight a little to much. I do feel that over the next ten or so years, as we have already seen it starting to do, we will see merci’s overall stature in the market place of blue chip cars increase but as there are still bottom of the barrel e-gear cars I don’t see it matching cars like the F1 for overall status as even the most “Ed spec” F1 is an exceedingly exciting car. Though I could be wrong as 250GTO’s are definitely in the top tier and they had more pedestrian siblings, time will tell. Either way, brown cars can be beautiful, just depends on how square they are and the brown paint to exterior wood paneling ratio. Love the content as always. Cheers👍
not sure many people who spend 4.5 million on a car actually drive them, they do need to be driven however they are still cars and its hurts them to sit and not ever be enjoyed, just need to be careful with them

All I needed was a box van and tired border crossing personnel at the Ambassador Bridge and a friend at the DMV. Granted my wasn't a car rather 2 bikes, a 1985 RZ500 Yamaha and 1985 RG500 Suzuki. Not nearly as rare as the Lambo but still pretty rare, and scary. Only ever allowed in the US for close circuit racing. The RZ was Kenny Roberts choice of weapon
the only problem I have with the car is the gate around the shifter, I've driven manuals my whole life and if I'm rowing gears in a manner that would say attract the police, I'd want a shifter that well, I'm not going to slam into the metal gate around it.
I hear stuff happening there all the time. Stuff happens there every day. They're not shipping anything out every day, but they're making something happen there every day. I would love to know what that stuff is..
Man I really want a TVR Sagaris, It's been my dream car since it was released. I still remember that Top Gear episode where Jeremy challenged a couple random people to try and open the door lmao.
I whole heartedly agree. I would buy this before a Bugatti ss. I love the wing on the regular but never realized how good this murcie looks with spoiler instead of the wing!!
Canadian here. I’ll gladly own this thing on paper only for 10 years if someone wants to store it in a climate controlled garage for the foreseeable future. I’ll need to be able to drive it whenever I’d like, but I won’t charge storage fees aside from whatever the necessary increased insurance costs… 😅
For me, I just want a RHD Mitsubishi Pajero super/Toyota Land Cruiser/Nissan Patrol. Glad I can buy one already imported into Canada from Japan so I can avoid extra charges.
I have a couple of Mexican friends that brought their cars to the USA on the 1 year tourist mode, however nobody really checks that, 3 years later and 0 problems, of course their cars are not as flashy as a Lamborghini tho
I own a small plumbing corporation here in Canada and I would gladly let the owner utilize my business at no cost, being able to tell the story is good enough for me.
So why doesn't it comply with US regulations? It looks like every other Lambo that's out there on the roads now, is it something to do with emissions only? WOULD have been great to hear an actual reason why it couldn't come into the US legally other than it was built for Europe.
Does anyone know why the LP 670-4 super veloce has more horsepower than the LP 640? This seems to be some thing I’ve never gotten an answer to. And how hard is it to make that modification to an LP 640?
Im looking forward to seeing this car pop up at for public events since we havent seen one of these get really any media exposure before. Really all the heard was the mentions from Ed of there fabled existence.
I had a dual sidedraft Weber 1.9l 1972 open gt that i,at 6'2",could snuggle into and have a blast... For a LOT less than something I couldnt..thats beautiful ride in the video, but just a paperweight to me..
It can't be the greatest car ever made if you can't drive it anywhere, anytime. But this is definitiely a very cool car. In my opinion the greatest car ever made is the one sitting in your garage that you paid off and you get to keep forever.
Us spec sv is here in ma. I have some info on it, but no leads on how to buy it. I do, however, know someone local who most likely serviced this car and may have m9re info on where and who has it.
6:58 I’ve seen that Diablo. I don’t live to far from Roy Cats’ dealership. Cats Exotics. He has had a bunch of cool cars there. Lamborghini Minardi F1 car, Koenigsegg CCX, A Diablo that has the American flag livery, and a bunch of other cars. I’m pretty sure at one point he had 1 of the other SV manuals. It’s a white one.
People should be able to import any car they want from any country and drive it. No exceptions. If I were the owner of this beautiful Lambo I'd have it parked in my garage
If you could only have one Lamborghini, but it could be any Lamborghini, then imo the Diablo SE30 Jota would be the one to have. That for me is the coolest of the cool. The Veneno and the Reventon are a bit too much, too over the top for me.
I want a 07 murci but want to figure out how ti 6 spd manual swap one I have a 06 murci im throwing a twin turbo ls ( it came without a motor and trans)

This car is incredible - I wonder if Ed has ever considered the idea of pursuing a Reventon, since it's also Murcielago-based.
I hear stuff happening there all the time. Stuff happens there every day. They're not shipping anything out every day, but they're making something happen there every day. I would love to know what that stuff is..
Man I really want a TVR Sagaris, It's been my dream car since it was released. I still remember that Top Gear episode where Jeremy challenged a couple random people to try and open the door lmao.
But is it that much different compared to a regular LP640?
I whole heartedly agree. I would buy this before a Bugatti ss. I love the wing on the regular but never realized how good this murcie looks with spoiler instead of the wing!!
5:05 possible heart attack alert if you’re watching this video with your headphones on.
Other option is to stick a dealer plate on it. Need to own a dealer first though of course. Herb Chambers did this with his McLaren F1 in the late 90s
Canadian here. I’ll gladly own this thing on paper only for 10 years if someone wants to store it in a climate controlled garage for the foreseeable future. I’ll need to be able to drive it whenever I’d like, but I won’t charge storage fees aside from whatever the necessary increased insurance costs… 😅
There is an orange SV manual in Victoria Melbourne Australia owned by a young billionaire
LOL Adrian's is not a manual
I live in southern Ontario, about it 2 hours north of Detroit. If you need someone to hold the title and store it periodically I'll volunteer!
What makes this better than the 458 Italia?
lol 4:40 ad tailormade for the DDE boys
My exact thought as soon as I heard that lmao
Marrone eklipsys. The best ever colour from Lambo. So much so that I had an Aston Martin vantage v12 bespoke painted in that colour!
I was hoping someone wouldn’t say it (*video just did) to keep it secret. I’m dying to see the Aston!
How can it be the greatest car ever made if only a percentage of the world's population could actually fit in the car?
@VINwiki There was an Orange Murcielago SV that appeared in the latest Hagerty yt video with Larry Chen. Skip to 26:05.
For me, I just want a RHD Mitsubishi Pajero super/Toyota Land Cruiser/Nissan Patrol. Glad I can buy one already imported into Canada from Japan so I can avoid extra charges.
“Someone just needs to put 50k miles on it so I can buy it for the right money” 😂😂😂😂😂
That made me belly laugh
I have a couple of Mexican friends that brought their cars to the USA on the 1 year tourist mode, however nobody really checks that, 3 years later and 0 problems, of course their cars are not as flashy as a Lamborghini tho
4:44 As a Canadian citizen close to the border, I offer my services of holding onto the holy grail of cars ;)
I own a small plumbing corporation here in Canada and I would gladly let the owner utilize my business at no cost, being able to tell the story is good enough for me.
So why doesn't it comply with US regulations? It looks like every other Lambo that's out there on the roads now, is it something to do with emissions only? WOULD have been great to hear an actual reason why it couldn't come into the US legally other than it was built for Europe.
Emissions!
I hate brown cars -- let mom keep it on the station-wagon at Safeways.
But this is the most gorgeous paint I've ever seen.
WOW!!!
Why did they outlaw Brown Supercars? What was the reason given?
The Gold Wheels are gorgeous! 👌
That was a joke
Its racist
@@shaunsnyman5107 Umm... no. It's just a color that some people don't like on cars in particular.
@@davidapharry4680it's racist
Does anyone know why the LP 670-4 super veloce has more horsepower than the LP 640? This seems to be some thing I’ve never gotten an answer to. And how hard is it to make that modification to an LP 640?
Im looking forward to seeing this car pop up at for public events since we havent seen one of these get really any media exposure before. Really all the heard was the mentions from Ed of there fabled existence.
I had a dual sidedraft Weber 1.9l 1972 open gt that i,at 6'2",could snuggle into and have a blast...
For a LOT less than something I couldnt..thats beautiful ride in the video, but just a paperweight to me..
I am a Canadian citizen and business owner and car enthusiast in the Toronto area 👀
What is the silver car 3 spaces back behind the Murci? Cant place that roofline.
I’m pretty sure Supercar Ron owns this car in Utah now.
It can't be the greatest car ever made if you can't drive it anywhere, anytime. But this is definitiely a very cool car. In my opinion the greatest car ever made is the one sitting in your garage that you paid off and you get to keep forever.
Lamborghini diablo is one i love personally.
That one's beautiful too
That color is stunning in the light
Us spec sv is here in ma. I have some info on it, but no leads on how to buy it. I do, however, know someone local who most likely serviced this car and may have m9re info on where and who has it.
6:58 I’ve seen that Diablo. I don’t live to far from Roy Cats’ dealership. Cats Exotics. He has had a bunch of cool cars there. Lamborghini Minardi F1 car, Koenigsegg CCX, A Diablo that has the American flag livery, and a bunch of other cars. I’m pretty sure at one point he had 1 of the other SV manuals. It’s a white one.

Are there 5 or 7 manual Murcie LP670-4 SVs? I thought Ed found 2 more manual Murcie SVs?
Brown was a very popular color for Jags back in the 70s. I always wondered where the brown Jags went. Now I know! xD
That spec is gorgeous
This lambo is basically Indian student in USA on F1 visa
The brown sports car ban clearly only applies for one day in the year.
People should be able to import any car they want from any country and drive it. No exceptions.
If I were the owner of this beautiful Lambo I'd have it parked in my garage
If you could only have one Lamborghini, but it could be any Lamborghini, then imo the Diablo SE30 Jota would be the one to have. That for me is the coolest of the cool. The Veneno and the Reventon are a bit too much, too over the top for me.
I would like a RHD pre-LP here in US. Thanks for explaining.
I want a 07 murci but want to figure out how ti 6 spd manual swap one I have a 06 murci im throwing a twin turbo ls ( it came without a motor and trans)
There isn't a specific color that's illegal to paint a car in the United States, but some paint jobs may make a car more likely to be pulled over
Better call The Stradman
Doesn't LB Performance have the Europe car?
