Viola Diablo SE30

[Adz The Rat]

This has always been my absolute dream car so I was incredibly happy to spend yesterday photographing it.

Sold to Jay Kay back in 1999 (not the car he famously crashed), and then sold by Amari twice more, it is amazing for it to be back at the showroom again.

Enjoy some photos!

Love the car, remember it from the Video

I could not live with that interior though, if it was cream then it would be perfect, well I suppose it could have open headlights too...

That is a thing of beauty, and a car that I would love to own, in fact I have an SE30 in my PH fantasy garage and this is that exact car

[Muzzer79]

Yup, that's pretty high on the post-Euromillions-win shopping list.

I remember my dad getting a passenger ride in one at Goodwood many moons ago - incredible sound!

Beautiful car. Amazing that the seats look like they provide no lateral support whatsoever!! Did they presume the car would never be used in anger and only for King's road posing trips??

[Cerbieherts]

Superb photography!

I think you'll find that the centre console and the door will provide the support you need, they aren't the roomiest of cockpits!

Beautiful car, remember drooling over it last time it was in stock.

Thanks for the photographs.

Everything about that car is awesome. Properly cool.

Great photos as usual Adam, and what a beast of a car.So when do I get my ride in it?

Stunning motor but that's a strong asking price at 150k.

He didn't crash one of these - his bodyguard did. on a test drive (in a Ferrari) a very well known Ferrari dealer told me: I have only been really scared on one test drive: with Jay Kay - he is an absolutely amazing driver.

Allegedly...

After drooling over this a bit more, I find myself being annoyed by the "Caution - High temperature" sticker, it would have to be replaced for new if I bought it, I now feel incredibly sad for being so anal

I would take out the velour seats, keep them in storage and replace them with leather ones. Then the car would be perfect.

And sort the damage to paint and panel on pic 4

Was taken for a spin in one of these. We approached a roundabout and rather than drop down to first, the owner put it in fifth gear and it accelerated very cleanly........and quickly too. What a car. Wonder how quick the Jota version is compared to this?

If I won big time on the lottery, the SE30 would be one of the first things I'd buy. Purple is the perfect colour, simply stunning.

Is this one ?
