1996 Lamborghini

The introduction of the VT Roadster in 1996 saw the then 32-year old Italian marque offer an open-top experience on a production car for the very first time. Previously only prototypes had been shown; the 1965 350 GT Spider, the 1968 Miura P400 Roadster and the 1980 Athon but none had made production. This VT Roadster as a result, stands apart from the other 465 examples.

With the lowest production number of the produced Diablo VT Roadsters, this example was the first car to be completed, ahead of even the 1995 Bologna Morotrshow car. This example was first registered as the factory demonstrator wearing Italian registration mark 'AF 716 ZZ', this example was optioned from new in Bonsai Blue over Beige. The car was sold to prominent collector Peter Kaus, owner and curator of the Rosso Bianco Collection in Aschafffenburg. After Peter, this example was purchased by the current keeper in 2017 where it has since been used sparingly and kept in storage. Service work including a fresh bill of health ahead of sale, has been carried out by marque specialists.

Today this Diablo presents as an unrepeatable example; the very first production specification open-top Lamborghini and furthermore, the factory demonstrator. Optioned in Bonzai Blue over Beige, this example is today offered with just 16,900 km from new and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately.
