Expert attempts to import Lamborghini Murcielago from China to the US, but is faced with challenge after challenge

Importing an exotic car like the Lamborghini Murcielago into the US can be a tricky task, even for people who know what they’re doing.

One expert from Georgia attempted to import this Lamborghini from China, but ran into a few issues.

He spent six months trying to work it out, but eventually gave up.

Not for lack of trying though, as he almost took the entire car apart to transport it in pieces.

Expert tried to import a Lamborghini Murcielago SV from China

Ed Bolian from the YouTube channel VINwiki is a Lamborghini expert, but more importantly, he’s a Murcielago expert.

You see, it’s one of his favorite cars, and he has enough experience importing several Murcielagos from all over the world to the US.

In one YouTube video, Ed shared that he once encountered a rare 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV parked in China.

Unlike this fake Murcielago, it was the real deal.

The SVs are super-rare, and only 42 were ever sent to the United States in 2010.

According to his research, a handful of examples from that lot ended up in Canada before being sent to other parts of the world including China.

Its owner reached out to Ed about what to do with the car, and Ed was more than happy to buy it.

That was before he discovered how difficult it would prove to be.

Importing supercars to the US proves challenging

You see, the Lamborghini Murcielago SV in China was never registered in the country, and nobody could track its previous Canadian owner.

That made it a huge challenge, even for Bolian, who knows all the tricks for importing banned cars.

He has also bought more than a few in the past before selling them on.

Regardless, he couldn’t get around the regulations of both countries and said it would be a problem to ship it out of China, let alone get around legalities in America.

After spending months on the job, he came up with a different idea.

“The only thing that made sense was to bring the car over in parts,” he said.

As absurd as that might sound, it was actually a relatively safe and hassle-free way to import the Lamborghini Murcielago SV.

Most people wouldn’t disassemble a perfectly running car, but this was the only way it was ever getting to the US.

Ed was six months into the negotiations by then.

The seller was, unsurprisingly, a bit nervous about the idea and started backing away from the deal.

Bolian eventually decided it wasn’t worth his time so he backed out of the deal too.

It’s unfortunate because we would’ve loved to see the Murcielago SV go to a new home on US soil.
