I am an evo reader as well. I always went to fast fleet to look for your car. I always wondered what happened to your 458. The last I knew it had 75,000 miles.
@@jeromelangenderfer8853 Hi, thanks for your comment. As far as I know it’s still working on the 6th Gear Experience fleet. I’m no longer involved with that company though.
Being an avid Evo reader from the start, I remember the car well. I really felt attached to the car when I realised Simon lived local to me and I would see the Murci burble through the village. Those Evo stories are a part of my life with cars. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us all.
Lovely to see this car again - I drove it in around 2010. It remains the most thrilling drive I’ve ever had - I drove your DBS and 599 on the same day and it totally eclipsed those beautiful vehicles. I think the speedometer was still connected in those days and I reached some pretty impressive figures. The car drifted slightly on a corner and the instructor was so impressed I held it he gave me a couple of free extra laps. Wonderful memories thanks again.
SG54LAM….. I remember when the warranty ran out on this thing and Simon wrote ‘I bet they’re breathing a sigh of relief down in Sant’Agata…’ after all the miles and memories that had been piled onto it….. Iv lusted after a Murci ever since….. drove the 6th gear white LP at Castle Combe a few years back. Still makes me smile how awesome it is as a car.
Fascinating facts and stories. I regularly read about the car as a subscriber of EVO and indeed saw many advertisements for track days with it as the cover photo. Would be great to see it in person one. All in an amazing story that clearly has plenty more chapters to come.
Simon, I remember driving this stunner for my 40th birthday in 2005 at Bruntingthorpe with you sat beside me. I will always remember you saying my down changes were good as it saved the clutch. I have followed it's progress from when you started it's story in Evo and then the LP640 you had. I remember being gutted when it hit the tree and relieved when you got her back on the road. To see it hit 300000 miles is amazing and I love the fact you have kept it so long. I hope that one day I will catch up with you and the car one day.
Great video lads. Great memory of SG driving the car at VMAX with me as a passenger and the brakes just about coping at the end of the runway. Fun times. Good to see you’re well Simon. Legend for taking that initial step and keeping the old girl going. Enjoy in great health.
A great video. I remember reading about Simons exploits in Evo magazine many years ago. A wonderful car and great experiences for the 8000 lucky people who had the opportunity to drive it. Seeing the spend and income analysis was very interesting. It makes the £42000 I’ve spent on a motorbike over the last 8 years seem like peanuts in comparison🤔 😀👍
Incredible history. I’ve mentioned before Simon, I met you in either late September October 2004 or 2005. You were at Oulton Park and there were a few of us from U.K. section of Fchat there. You took the niece out of that ‘reputable’ (tongue in cheek) supercar dealer who sponsored ClubScud. You came back safe and sound, both exited the car closed the doors, the car laughing to itself locked the doors. We stood there in the late evening cold, keeping warm off the Murci’s running engine whilst you waited for breakdown company to get us in. Surprise surprise because the breakdown chap had never had to break in to a Murcielago up to that point 😄
Simon I had the pleasure of meeting you at a 6th gear experience I bought myself for my 30th birthday almost 9 years ago at Long Cross. You were manning the food truck and were so humble and down to earth even if I was starstruck talking to the guy who I'd been following for years in the pages of Evo's Fast Fleet. I LOVE reading about SG64 and hope your channel goes from strength to strength! Great idea for content
Congratulations Simon. I'd admire you for taking a risk, being entrepreneurial and making it pay! I think you should publish a coffee table book about the Murcielago - a biography of the car and yours & other people's experiences with it. Your car is now a legend not just in Lamborghini but in supercar circles.
What a car! I grew up to reading all about your adventures and enormous bills of running such an icon. I’m sure this cars given you more headaches than a marriage! 😅
Lovely video ❤ Not sure what annoys me most, the fact that I don't have Murcielago or the fact I'm in my 50s and my hair is much greyer than the owner of this one 😂😂
Yep, my 2003 Mercedes Benz E 500 now 21 yrs old and today I sent it in for $3,600 repair. Then plus another $1,000 it needs in maintenance now. I am paying Ferrari prices on this thing. I just could not let it go. It is too beautiful. I lost track of total costs.. just too much.
Dive 1993 740iL, have drive 80000 kms in 6 years to bring total to 365 000 kms Engine (designed by Paul Rosche in his prime) still in mint condition Magnificent engineering!
Hoping you keep it going for another 301,000 miles!

Very interesting story. Definitely worth all the headache and heartache along the way. It's a gorgeous car 🤩

Loved the video. Legendary car and owner.

That’s epic. And that’s before the car. Orancio too. Nice.
Thank you 🙏
Lovely video ❤
Not sure what annoys me most, the fact that I don't have Murcielago or the fact I'm in my 50s and my hair is much greyer than the owner of this one 😂😂
😂
you're lucky you have hair!!
Best supercar video ever!
Wow that’s a strong comment. Thank you. 😊
Great video again - amazing car 👌 thank you
Thank you 🙏 😊
Someone isn't keeping it tight for the next guy 👍
Is the alcantara dash factory? I don't remember ever seeing it on a Murci.
No the dash is not from factory, it was re trimmed some time ago.
Looks very good too
That 300,000 mile murcie is in better RUNNING condition and way more reliable than a 3000 mile garage queen murcielago.
Need to call it the Mooncielago with that mileage!
Brilliant 👍

When you love it, it’s never too much is it. 😊
Don’t worry - I’m doing exactly the same thing with my 1983 380SE. When a particular car gets under your skin, there’s no point fighting it.
What a great back story.
I started watching, thinking another Lambo tosser, but you deserve it for making it pay.
Glad you enjoyed it
Interestingly, £2 a mile sounds about right to me. Almost the same as me for a Ferrari over the last 16 years.
@@richardcarter1000 Oh, interesting. What model Ferrari?
@@DriversKeepers it's an F355, early manual
I sold my 911 Turbo because it had done almost 40k miles and I thought it was getting on a bit 😊
Cant put a price on Smiles !
And you only live once
100% true. Wise words. 😊
Original engine 4 rebuilds😂😂😂😂 I'm on 427k on an an Toyota Lexus. Not the same thing but.....
Dive 1993 740iL, have drive 80000 kms in 6 years to bring total to 365 000 kms
Engine (designed by Paul Rosche in his prime) still in mint condition
Magnificent engineering!
Definitely not the same thing or circumstances but we take your point. 427k miles is impressive. 😮
Warning… do NOT read this comment!!
Don’t worry, we didn’t.
