This ultra-rare factory Lambo was just sat in kitchen not being driven for two years

Can you imagine – the Lamborghini SE30 Jota, a supercar like no other, left sitting in a kitchen for two years without being driven?

It’s sad to imagine but based on true events.

This ultra-rare factory car, painted in Verde Olympus, a metallic green shade originally used by Mercedes, was a one-of-one model with a unique green-on-green Alcantara interior.

Its story is full of twists, from being hidden away to getting a second lease of life.

Ultra-rare Lamborghini SE30 Jota supercar

This tale, featured on YouTube by VINwiki and shared by John Temerian from ‪WeAreCurated‬ shows just how special this car truly is.

The Lamborghini SE30 Jota was originally owned by German collector Manfred Schmidt.

It was one of only 15 factory-built examples in the world.

Schmidt was known for customizing iconic Lamborghinis, and this car was no exception.

Its striking green color and rare interior made it a true collector’s dream.

However, despite its incredible design, the car spent two years in a converted workshop kitchen, where it was admired but never taken out for a drive.

Cars like this are so sought after that one man spent two decades tracking down his dad’s old Lamborghini Diablo Jota.

Finally owning the car after years

This particular supercar had a glamorous past, having been spotted in places like Monaco and Germany.

The car was eventually bought by a car collector in the US.

And ultimately they imported it to the US in secret.

But as soon as it arrived, that secrecy vanished because images of the car went viral online.

Offers started to pour in from collectors who wanted to get their hands on it.

But the owner of the vehicle refused to part with it.

And we can understand why.
