FAQ

This Lamborghini Silhouette in the European market

How this car sits against the other Lamborghini Silhouette advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this Lamborghini priced above or below the European market?

At £149,950, about €175,440, it sits below the median of €312,196 for the 250 Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. 4% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this Lamborghini be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Lamborghini compare?

49,890 km recorded, against a median of 7,747 km across the Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other Lamborghini are priced closest to this one?

a 2022 car in Germany at €174,597, and a 2012 car in the Netherlands at €176,950. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this Lamborghini Silhouette, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley, a professional dealer in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Lamborghini Silhouette be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Swadlincote, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Lamborghini Silhouette still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Tom Hartley before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
