Aventador, Tesla, TVR among $4m of exotics up for auction in Sydney


Fancy a Lamborghini Aventador for two-thirds the price? Or a bargain-priced Tesla Model S? Perhaps a hand-built TVR? All three are up for auction this week in Sydney.

A 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 and a 2014 Tesla Model S P85D Plus will be auctioned alongside more than 80 other rare and exotic vehicles at Manheim’s Exclusive Luxury and Exotic Vehicles Auction in Sydney this Thursday.

While the V12 Lambo cost more than $750,000, our free valuation tool estimates its current used value at roughly $450,000 disregarding any options.

The Tesla cost more than $130,000 new, but could go for far less given the uncertainty of Tesla used values. However, it’s been classified with Manheim’s top condition grade and only has 13,698km on the clock.

Other notable lots include an ultra-rare 2001 TVR Cerbera Coupe, plus a variety of high performance V8s from the likes of Mercedes-AMG and BMW M-division.

More details on the vehicles included in the Manheim’s Exclusive Luxury and Exotic Vehicles Auction can be seen here, and the auction will be streamed live on the Manheim Facebook page at 6pm on Thursday November 10.
