1978 Lamborghini Silhouette for Sale in the United Kingdom
This 1978 Lamborghini Silhouette is a used car showing 49,890 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Rosso.
Equipment includes Campagnolo wheels, One of 12 right-hand-drive examples, One of 54 ever produced, Removable Targa top, Designed by Bertone, One of the rarest Lamborghini models.
The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom.
The Lamborghini Silhouette uses the 2,997 cc all-aluminium Lamborghini V8 with four overhead camshafts, mounted transversely behind the seats, rated at 269 PS (198 kW) and 275 Nm, with a five-speed Lamborghini manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. Derived from the Urraco P300 and styled by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the Silhouette was the first Lamborghini with a targa roof. It is a strict two-seater, with MacPherson struts at both ends and Campagnolo magnesium wheels on Pirelli P7 tyres. Presented at the 1976 Geneva Motor Show, it was built in just 54 examples and never gained US homologation.
Lamborghini, then in a deep financial crisis at Sant'Agata Bolognese, halted production of the Silhouette, the Urraco and the Jarama in October 1978.

FAQ
This Lamborghini Silhouette in the European market
Is this Lamborghini priced above or below the European market?
At £149,950, about €175,440, it sits below the median of €309,944 for the 330 Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. 3% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.
Can this Lamborghini be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?
The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. The dealer quotes it as: Observed in 2026. 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 7,630 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 2012 car in the Netherlands at €176,950, and a 2021 car in Sweden at €179,916. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.
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.
