Lamborghini Reventón - spotted
Sadly I didn't have my camera to hand but I saw a black Reventón parked outside Romans International on friday afternoon in Banstead, Surrey on
the a217. According to Top Gear only one is being brought to the uk!

Nice!
And Surrey would be the right area for such a car

but the press release says....
Reventón will be offered in only one, exclusive colour: an opaque green-grey, also called Grey Barra. It’s a metallic paint with an unusual matt
finish in contrast to the high shine finish common to most vehicles.
Could it have been silvery grey, or was it just a Murci?

Ok, so I went back past at lunch to see if it was there again and it was - but I got it wrong and it isn't a Reventón 
I think it's an LP 640 Coupe, I had checked their stocklist before posting earlier but as that had different reg and wheels I thought it was a
different model car. Anyway I went in and had a look in the showroom (lucky I was suited and booted from work as they didn't laugh at me) - a
nice cream veyron, convertible azura bentley, 2x mclaren slr's, 599gtb, couple of f430's, a challenge stradle, a gt3rs in black with tango
cage and wheels, a convertible 911 turbo, a ford GT, c class amg with full wideboy bodykit and a few bikes that I didn't take too much attention
to. There was also an SL AMG (the v12 biturbo one), a quattroporte and a number of astons and continentals amongst other things I've
forgotten.
The nice man in the showroom even asked me if I needed any help
Anyway here are a couple of piccies of the lambo. In fairness when I saw it on friday it was starting to get dark and only really saw the rear 1/4
from driving past on the other side of the dual carriageway and with the black wheels think it was a relatively easy mistake to make. Having seen it
from the front it isn't quite arrow shaped enough. The guy said in the showroom the Reventón isn't really much different to a normal lambo,
all the same underneath, just a few designer/posey bits on it.
Anyways, the booby prize is on me

ps did I mention Shortie was in the car aswell and he got it wrong too (that makes me feel better )

I saw a green one of those at Brands this weekend. Awesome to see them in the flesh. Pics don't do it justice.
Theres a chap who ownes a business near me in Whyteleafe who used to have a Lambo Muchiwhotsit. I think he has now sold it as there was a black
Ferrari 430 outside the office last week.

i thought it might have been a sneaky special....
could be a batmobile from a distance looking like that!
Sounds like a nice little stock list they have there, bet their insurance is a bit pricey!
