Tina Turner's Mercedes-Powered LM002 For Sale

Tina Turner wasn't messing around when she went shopping for a vehicle. In true rock-and-roller style, she opted for a Lamborghini (a LM002 to be exact) and had it retro-fitted and personalized with a Mercedes E500 V8 automatic transmission, a 1500-Watt Blaupunkt stereo, and lots of other aesthetic touches. The big news here is not that Tina Turners owns this vehicle, but that she's selling it. It's currently on the market for ?179,000, and although I'm hardly an expert at appraising vehicles that seems like a pretty good deal.

Sometimes I can't believe what I am reading in here. All I want is a van with a ramp that rolls in and out, so it will be earsier for my husband. We lived in GA. St.Simons area, we had retired in the midwest and wanted to get away from the cold, so we retired to warm climate. We loved it there. I was doing the landscapeing and it got to the point, my legs wouldn't get me up and my back put me in crying, screaming pain. I went to a Dr. in the largest town to us. He diagnosised me but was very non shalont about. I called Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. Amazing hospital, love it , the staff is marvelous and I could go on and on. They Diagnosised me after nearly 5 months. I never spent a night in the hospital. All they told my husband was there is nothing they can do. I see my husband working so hard with my power chair and he is 71 age and I am 69. Oh my I didn't mean to write a book, sorry.

Way too much money, and what happened to the Lambo engine? Probably who ever did the swap kept it and made money on the deal.

FERRARI IS A REAL CAR - MOST LAMBORGHINIS ARE BLACK RAPPERS CARS

GeezenThomas!!! Bullet proof windows? Must have looked better in the catalog...

This was a great vehicle. I'm pretty sure it does about 5 miles to the gallon. Many were destroyed during the Iraq war that were owned by the Hussein family. From what I understand, I think Eddie Van Halen has two of these along with his other lambo's.

YOU ALL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT SHE DOES NOT LIVE HERE IN THE STATES. SHE LIVES IN A CASTLE OVERSEAS.
SHE PROBABLY USES IT TO CHECK OUT ALL HER PROPERTY. GOD BLESS THE RICH. THEY CAN DO IT ALL.
I WISH THE GOVT. WOULD GET OFF MY ASS WITH ALL THE TAXES THEY TAKE FROM US WORKING CLASS.

Brittany Jan 28th 2008 9:48PM

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? okay, maybe I just really don't know 2 cents about cars.. but why did it say lamboghini, and then when I clicked on it, it's some old school back in the day looking hummer. It's ugly..looks like some child's G.I. Joe toy with the dorky ass GI joe dude sitting in the car (in the picture). Send this junk to the yard!
