This person from Leicester, England, found not one but two abandoned Lamborghini Murcielago cars that had been sitting in the same place for seven years.
He had always wanted to buy and restore a Murcielago and had two very tempting options to choose from.
However, each one came with its own set of problems — making it a difficult decision.
Ultimately, he gave in to temptation and bought one, but it was a confusing choice.

Man found abandoned Lamborghini Murcielago pair with problems
UK-based YouTuber Mat Armstrong posted a video on his channel around two years ago and showed a Lamborghini Murcielago pair that he could buy.
If you don’t know the YouTuber already, he is the same person who rebuilt Marcus Rashford’s custom Rolls-Royce.
While these Murcielago options came long before the Rolls-Royce, that doesn’t mean he’s not a pro.
Both supercars belonged to a local track racing firm with many broken cars lying around, and that fleet included the two Lambos.
As he went to see both supercars in person, he almost couldn’t hide his excitement.
The abandoned Lamborghini Murcielago models in question came in green and yellow finishes.
First off, the green car only had one problem, but it was a pretty big issue.
Its previous mechanic had to lift out the engine to fix a chain rattle, but when they tried to put it back in, it didn’t fit.
That led to the Murcielago sitting for years without an engine inside — but all the extracted parts were stored safely.
Both options had pros and cons
The second Murcielago also had engine issues, but it was kept with all the machinery inside the car.
Although the engine was intact, it was misfiring, and the timing belt was reportedly in trouble.
It was a massive dilemma for Mat, and despite seeing the drastic condition of both supercars, he was as excited as he could be.
After careful consideration with the people close to him, Mat finally chose one Lamborghini Murcielago out of the pair.
It was the green one, and he obviously knew what he was getting into.
What’s more, it wasn’t his first time buying a car with a harsh history.
Only recently he got a damaged Aston Martin DB12 to restore it.
Not to mention the Audi RS6, which he rebuilt and got a call from Audi about.
He then had a Lamborghini with its iconic (and broken) V12 engine and a manual gearbox outside the car.
However, that never scared Mat — and he ended up spending hours on the supercar.
