$1 Rare Lamborghini Auction – Set to Break Records
Gold Coast, Queensland, Jan. 23, 2023 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --

In a massive weekend of Classic and Collectible car auctions an extremely rare 
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster found in a mancave in Sydney has been 
selected as the headline lot by Lloyds Auctions in Australia and they started 
the bidding at $1.

The vehicle is finished in gun metal grey with the naturally aspirated V12 
engine that reaches 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 350 
km/h.

The Lamborghini is limited to 800 examples worldwide, the SVJ roadster being 
the most iconic form of the Aventador family, with only 920 kilometres from new.

"Not only has this iconic vehicle broken records in speed and acceleration we 
expected it to also break sales records perhaps even a record for the most 
expensive Lamborghini Aventador ever sold," said Mr. Lee Hames, Chief 
Operations Officer for Lloyds Auctions.

"A Lamborghini of the similar make and 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 Lloyds auction site and it is 
unreserved with one week to go," continued Mr. Hames.

In an article written by Auto Revolution ( 
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/this-2020-lamborghini-aventador-svj-roadster-costs-875k-and-it-s-easy-to-understand-why-173895.html 
), it was stated that people believe the SVJ Roadster is the best Lamborghini 
ever made.
The Lamborghini is a part of the UnReil classic car collection, a group of over 
50 of the rarest, and desirable cars in a single vendor collection, the most 
impressive seen on the market in years.

"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 important cars," said Mr. Hames.
 
The collection reflects the history of the current custodian’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 features some of the rarest 
Fords and Holdens in existence and ends with, the highly desirable Lamborghini 
Aventador. 
 
The UnReil Collection will go under the hammer with 400 other Classic cars via 
a series of live and simulcast auctions this weekend Saturday the 28th and 
Sunday 29th January.
