As title states, Diablo wanted.

Ideally post '93 car with power steering and lighter clutch.

If your thinking of selling, please get in touch., No finance etc to arrange, cash waiting.

Cheers Bud.
Yep - now there's a dedicated forum, no harm with another post.

I have spoken to Carlo and seen the car. Its pretty good, but for the £80k asking price, I'd rather have an SV.

I thought Rocco was thinking of selling a while ago , why not pm him see if he,s interested , he,s got one of the best SV,s in UK

Many thanks.
The very low mileage of Tony's SV puts it well out of my reach

Thanks - I saw that a few months ago. Finally found a phone number through google. Seller knows very little about the car. Also an early car so no power steering and a very heavy clutch. Then theres the interior colour...

It could be a long waiting game

Hi Simon,
I could be tempted if nothing has turned up by then.
I really wanted a RHD car but if still nothing on the horizon, I'd consider LHD.
Keep in touch.

I have indeed seen that one. Its not a very nice example and previously been painted by Stevie Wonder after a heavy night on the beer

Thanks for the link all the same

Thanks for the link.
This ones been on sale for ever. I'm guessing because its LHD?
If it were a different colour I'd go and have a look but I'm not too fond of this shade of yellow. It only it were pearl yellow...

Ah ok, I think I remember you mentioning that one now. Thought it was a new listing on AT is I'm sure it wasn't there the other day. Hope you find one soon. Loved your R8!

Thanks - I loved the R8 too - it was an awesome piece of engineering and great to drive.

Its problem was that it was a little too clinical and somehow lacked soul. I'd be tempted with another though

[L33]

Yes - I saw it the other night but something not quite right about the ad. It states 2008 yet on a 55 plate and also states 6.0L (and so it should be) yet the picture of the engine cover states 5.7...

Best to walk on that one I think...

[L33]

Yep - LK55 is a real car currently in a museum. The one advertised without number plates has different exhaust and sv engine cover so I assume a different car although the brown must be a rare colour. I've emailed the seller but I'm not expecting a reply...

[L33]

Hi folks. Yes I did notice the yellow left hooker but ideally I want a RHD car.

Hopefully now with winter approaching fast, a couple may come available...

Hi John,
I was just reading this topic again and I think I missed your post - my apologies.

The 1997 car I saw was the one recently sold at top gear specialist cars

YHM.

Selling my SV soon

Thanks Tony - we spoke a few months ago but unfortunatly my pockets arn't deep enough for an SV
Good luck with the sale.

[L33]

Bidding ended at £56,250 - for what looks to be a kit car...

[L33]

HIS LM said:

I presume the seller never replied to your email

He did forward me his number. I tried calling a few times, but kept going to answer phone...

[L33]

Bump.
Diablo still wanted.

Hi Lee,

Is the car you mentioned to me, off the cards now?

Hi Sudesh,
No that car is still very much on the cards - it all comes down to price. I need to spend a LOT on the car to make it worthwhile. I don't think we're too far apart now though. My worry was buying the car, spending all the money and not being able to sell it for what I'd paid out for it. I'm working all this weekend - I'll give you a call early next week.

[L33]

The SV looks tempting but I don't think for me.

Diablo still wanted though if anyone is selling

Still no joy Lee? No movement on the car we discussed?

Still no joy Sudesh

The one we discussed turned out to be a lemon. It failed its mot on various electricial issues and when Mike delved a little deeper, the issues got worse. Mike was good enough to call and explain and is keeping his eyes peeled for me. He didn't want me buying the car or want anything to do with it that may affect his reputation. Fair play to him.
The last I heard was that the car had been sold in its known state to another well known party who deals in Diablos. I'm just curious when it will surface again...
