2010 Lamborghini Gallardo Valentino Balboni

The car we present today is one of the 250 Gallardo Balboni produced, bearing the chassis number ZHWGE5227ALA09653. Delivered new at the Von Braun Sports Cars dealership in Sweden on 4 May 2010, in its Arancio Borealis colour.

It is now presented for sale with its logbooks, showing 36.613kms at the time of photography.

On the outside, it is quite difficult to find any defects, the paintwork seems great, the alignments good. Two chips are visible on the front mask under the headlights. The tyres seem to be from 2018, it will be recommended to change them in the near future in order to get the best performance from this Gallardo.

It goes without saying that an inspection is always recommended to see if the aesthetic qualities of the presented example match your expectations.

Inside the car, you'll find leather or Alcantara wherever you look. The left-hand bolster of the driver's seat is the part that unsurprisingly shows the most wear, however it is consistent with the car's mileage and is not unpleasant to see. Again, it's hard to find aesthetic defects beyond this.

The dashboard is reminiscent of an Audi AG car, with a rev counter on the left (red zone at 8.500 rpm), a speedometer on the right (scaled to 340 km/h), and at the ends, a water temperature gauge and a fuel gauge. In the middle is the usual Audi AG LCD display, showing the car's essential information. Just above this you will find the indicator lights.

The centre console features a GPS radio system, below which are 7 aviation-style buttons for the various controls. Below that is the air conditioning control, then some other controls including the gearbox.

The right side of the dashboard shows a beautiful Lamborghini monogram in metal, inlaid in the extended leather. In the centre of the dashboard, 3 additional gauges are present: an oil pressure gauge, an oil temperature gauge and a battery charge gauge.

Under the bonnet (rear) we find the heart of this Lambo, a 5.204 cc V10 developing 550 hp at 8.000 rpm and 540 N.m at 6.500 rpm. Everything seems to be in order in the engine compartment, due to the presence of many covers, it will be advisable to have the car inspected by a specialist in order to know the state of health.

Under the car, nothing seems to be damaged or broken, some overspray is present near the rocker panels.

Concerning the history, the car comes with its service book with different stamps, however we do not have the invoices that come with them. Here are in chronological order the different services the car has received:

- 06/2011 at Lamborghini Stockholm with a mileage of 11.702kms

- 05/2013 at Auto Cura in Sweden with a mileage of 23.895kms

- 04/2015 at Lamborghini Malmö with a mileage of 35.587kms

Despite the fact that the car has barely covered 1.000kms since the last service, it might be wise for the next owner to schedule a new one.

In the age of electrification and other hybrids, it is no longer easy to afford a modern sports car with a naturally aspirated engine. With the Gallardo at the bottom of its price curve, we can only advise enthusiasts to jump on board.

As our example is one of the 250 Balboni's produced, one of the few rear wheel-drive Gallardo, in beautiful condition, and being offered for sale without a reserve price, we believe that our estimate of €100,000 - €150,000 will easily be justified at the end of the sale.
