Its amazing what you find out and about in the countryside

Hi there,

Don't know about anyone else but whenever I am travelling across the UK I love coming to little towns and villages that look like they are stuck in a timewarp.

These little hamlets always have quaint petrol stations/garages that usually contain the odd classic car. There is even one not far from home that has a light aircraft parked in his workshop next to the MOT ramp. What makes it even stranger is the fact the nearest airstrip must be 20 miles away.

Anyway I was out and about heading to see a client today in Staffordshire when I passed a little petrol station/garage. I glanced in the window as I drove past and a flash of yellow caught my eye. I found somewhere to stop, parked the car and had a walk back up the road.
Imagine my suprise when I saw this: -



Now I have seen a few of these in my time and I am pretty confident this was the real deal and not a replica. Certainly the wheels and bodywork looked correct. The car did not have any number plates on it and it did look a little tired (poss due to the dirty roads recently). Car was left hand drive and had a black interior complete with Lamborghini embossed in the headrests.

Still in shock, love the Diablo and it is always a special day when I see one.

Anyone know this car ??

Regards

Tim

Nice find there Tim, you always seem to track these things down

It always intrigues me when I find a mega car tucked away in odd places where you'd never expect to see one.

Well, if you own a garage you might as well park your car in it!

Seriously though, I would have stopped and taken a second look too.

Pic still not working but I am going to stab that you saw the car in a little garage in Eccleshall, Staffs. The car is real and belongs to the garage owner. He uses the showroom as a extention to his own garage rather than a showroom! There is also a motorbike and a rib in there.

pic works fine for me and yep, there is a bike and rib in there.

Think it is owned (well it used to be) by a notorious person in and around Eccleshall. He has had a bit of exotica over the years, he even used to drive a tank around the area?!!?
