Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT and SE - UK Register

[Sulley]

Hi from Australia,

I've been trying to track 6.0 numbers over here ...

As far as I know ... of the 23/26 build ... of the 3 RH SEs, 1 SE is in Adelaide ... and 8 other RHD were originally delivered to Australia ... 4 blue, 2 black and 2 titanium. Mine is one of those titanium ones now wrapped in Aurora Orange.

Interesting reading between this and the other thread (which is 11 years old ... sorry) ... I thought there were 27 delivered RHD 6.0s ... but if 20 something were confirmed delivered to UK ... then that number must be incorrect since we had 8 delivered here new ... and 12 reside here now from my understanding (one of which is at least Craig's black/red import).

Do you know if that 23 UK delivered is a confirmed number or just a guess based on %?

BTW - Australia has the highest per capita of Lambo ownership in RHD in the world I believe ... so wouldn't be unusual to have 8 of 27 delivered if 27 was the original number (excl. the SE).

The only two Arancio Atlas VTs in the UK. There is a third Arancio Atlas owned by Funky in Ireland. This photo was a chance meeting.

BTW The one on the right now belongs to me

Holy thread resurrection Batman! Mine now. Anyone know what happened to the fatty with the other one in the pic? Did he manage to get the wing painted? 😄

Can anyone confirm that one of the beleived 3 UK yellow 6.0's ever wore numberplate V12 DVT or similar?
Saw it at a show number of years ago, think it has blue/green leather interior?

From all the photos in this thread it looks to be the only yellow UK car without the spoiler?

Anyone know where this car is now?

Hi,

Not sure its the only UK car without a spoiler.

This one was at Silverstone Classic in 2018, unless of course its the same car ?

Hi there,

I attended the London Concours event on Thursday and as part of this they had a Supercar gathering.

The two Orange 6.0 VT's were on display, seems Y 60 VT has lost its rear wing, which I actually think looks better.









These cars were two of the four Diablos present, the others were an SV and a GT

Nice pics Tim. Y6OVT has indeed lost its wing (well, the wing is now a mantlepiece for the foreseeable). I see Y471 PFO is up for sale again, anyone know much of the history?

Hi there,

Oooh thanks for pointing that out.

the dealer is actually not to far from me, would love to see this one up close.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread on a couple of different plates

Good morning all,

Does anyone know of Diablos for sale beyond the Motorhub SV and the Macari Roadster?

Somewhat agnostic on colour - just a question of condition and price.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Giles

Anybody knowing the VIN of this early Diablo, the ad says all original, but can't find any Rosso/Bianco 2wd in the prod list.

What sort of money does the 6.0 fetch these days?

The ultimate supercar!

He's just sold a few cars as he's moving house.

Blimey…these Diablo VTs in bright colours really do look fabulous! No idea how good they are to drive, but what the hell, I’ll add it to my dream car garage.
