Did you have any luck with the perfect 993 GTS/993 RS/993 Turbo S you were after?

Or the early slot on the 997 GT3RS?

That'll be quite a fleet you'll have there with the Diablo too for only a months buying. You're a lucky guy!

No joy re 997rs guess I will have to be patient, Looked at a few cars (GT2, turbo s and also 360cs with 200miles on clock)but nothing ticking all boxes re condition. My choice in cars is now bordering on the perverse getting rarer and harder to find

A CS with 200 miles didnt tick all the condition boxes!? Jesus, had a tough 200 miles.

360 cs did indeed have only 240 miles on clock. hard miles - I dont think so. Chap took delivery and only drove for one day then but it in garage and I came along a year later with all intentions of purchasing. On first inspection it looked brand new i.e pips on tyre edges no swirl marks etc but then I noticed white deposits everywhere. Guy had used for one day in Jan, must have driven behind a gritter as car was absolutely covered in salt he put away and car was never washed. With a lot of components starting to react I left her where she stood. Bloke didn't really understand what the fuss was about and just thought I was wierd for licking his car everywhere!!!

There can only be a handful of low mileage mint 6.0 Diablo's still around. I have seen this car and it is perfect. One owner from new I believe. I was considering a part ex against my 99SV but alas my colour preferences are Yellow and Arancio.

lovely car wazza. thats why i can't quite get into the Murci look (apart from the LP640) - for me the diablo still has more visual drama.

i've always had mixed views on the fixed headlamps, but yours just looks lovely.

Wazza - your car is utterly, utterly beautiful. Perfect. Just can't fault that at all. Colour, wheels, everything - spot on.
