Is the Lamborghini Gallardo a good investment?

The thesis

The Gallardo was Lamborghini's best-seller (14,022 built 2003–2013) and the last Lamborghini with a manual transmission option. The LP560-4 facelift brought a 5.2-litre 552 bhp V10 and revised styling. Manual examples are rare; E-Gear autos dominate. Average US sale price is $112k (£88k), but UK examples command £100–120k. Final Edition (2013–14) models carry a small premium. The naturally aspirated V10 is extinct—successor Huracán is DCT-only. Market is stable but underappreciated; manuals fetch a premium over E-Gear, and that gap is widening.
