Selected as a headline lot by Lloyds for its latest online automotive auction, a rare Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster has already received more than $1.3 million in bids.
The SVJ Roadster is finished in gun metal grey with the naturally aspirated V12 engine that reaches 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 350 km/h.
The Aventador is limited to 800 examples worldwide, the SVJ roadster being the most iconic, with only 920 kilometres from new and one of a handful of Australian delivered cars.
“We expected it to also break sales records, perhaps even a record for the most expensive Lamborghini Aventador yet sold,” Lloyds Auctions chief operations officer Lee Hames says.
“A similar Lamborghini model sold through Fusion Motor Los Angeles last year for $874,950 USD, however bids on the Australian car are already reaching over $1.3 million on our online auction site and it is unreserved with one week to go,” Hames says.
The Lamborghini is a part of the UnReil classic car collection, a group of more than 50 rare and desirable cars in a single collection.
“This collection is worth tens of millions of dollars and has been hidden away, but now it’s time for the next custodians to prepare to take ownership of one or more of these cars,” Hames says.
The collection reflects the history of the current owners’s motor vehicle journey starting with his first car, a $100 Ford Prefect through to rare Aussie Classics, and desirable V8 Bathurst race cars. It also features some of the rarest existing Fords and Holdens.
The UnReil Collection will go under the hammer with 400 other Classic and Collectible cars via a series of live and simulcast auctions on January 28/29.
