Is the Lamborghini Gallardo a good investment?

The thesis

The early Gallardo with gated 6-speed manual is the last naturally aspirated V10 Lamborghini with a true manual transmission. Take-rate for manuals was extremely low (hundreds, not thousands), making them rare and increasingly sought after. UK market prices for manual examples now sit £80–120K, with E-gear cars from £63K. The manual's rarity and the approaching extinction of the naturally aspirated V10 position this as a pre-appreciation play; it hasn't yet run hard, unlike its Ferrari contemporaries.
