Information

The car is an Asia/ROW-spec 2002 manual model, which was originally owned in Dubai, UAE.
Its second owner, a Bulgarian, bought it in May 2005 with 3,000 km on the odometer. The Murci was shipped on a plane to Istanbul, Turkey, from where the car travelled through the border all the way to Sofia, Bulgaria, on its own.
It was driven in Sofia for two months and then went to Sunny Beach, where the owner was vacaying.
On the night of 30 July 2005, the Murciélago was crashed on the road near Sunny Beach and caught fire. Luckily, the owner was taken out of the burning car and saved by a priest passing by, but the vehicle got totalled. The insurance company took possession of it and sold it to a junkyard. Meanwhile, the Bulgarian bought another Murciélago, this time a black car.
In 2006, a British bought it from the scrapyard, planning to completely restore it. He transported it to the UK as a parts car. After a few years of work, the chassis was successfully repaired, only the powertrain was to be rebuilt or replaced.
The paperwork had burnt with the Murciélago, and the dealership in the UAE, where the car was originally delivered in 2002, refused to provide a copy of it, as this was against its policy. The then-owner could not legalise his car in any way, so he decided to sell off the shell and all the parts that were not affected by the fire.
In 2016, an Arancio Atlas Murciélago SuperVeloce was severely damaged after crashing into a pole in Birmingham, UK. The underpinnings were badly damaged and new ones had to be transplanted on. The owner of the SV bought the Azzurro Aquarius Murciélago's shell, and it lived on in that car, currently residing in London. All the other parts of the Bulgarian Lamborghini have been sold off since and are now to be found on different cars in the UK and in the USA.
