Diablo GT

[AtlantisWeb]

I wonder if anybody can settle a query.
Am I correct in stating that the GT Diablo was only built in LHD form, and that there are only perhaps 5 cars still in the UK?
I have seen the black one registered V12 OOH, a metallic silver/grey one, and an orange one a few years ago.
I seem to remember seeing pictures of another black one with a plate that read BATMAN!
There must be someone on here who has access to the owners registry.
Thanks.

Uni there,

There were only ever 80 road GTs built and all were in LHD.
There were 3 in the UK, orange, silver and black, but there are only 2 now, the black and the silver.

Great cars, first car I topped 200 MPH in!

Cheers,

Ruttboy.

Does anyone know of this car? I know the plate looks like BATMAN, but it is actually BAT 114N, and DVLA site shows it as taxed and MOTd.
If V12 OOH is also on the road, then that makes 2 seperate GTs in the UK.
Fabulous cars.

V12 OOH is owned by a friend and lives just North of London.

V12 OOH - Black one? Met him at the 50th Giro.

I saw the black one at Silverstone a couple of years ago, and it was in need of some serious TLC. Shame, as they are stunning cars, if not the most comfortable to drive.

Alas, this one is no more.

And who owns the BAT114N car now?

Even without serious TLC the car wins Wilton House Supercar Trophy.
Hope for all you who use their cars rather than put them up on a pedestal

great looking cars - remember seeing the black and orange one side by side at HR Owen in South Ken, behind all the Land Rovers

Sat in the black one - zero rear visibility so you have to use a rear video camera, and I loved the colour name "rage black"

Oh mine got used, making the trip back to the factory on more than one occasion as that's where I used to get it serviced, but I also used to chuck a bucket of water over it from time to time to keep it looking clean.

This car is not a GT.Its an early car that has had a facelift to look like a GT.

What happened to it?

[andysv]

It doesn't exist any more is probably the only way to put it.

You shouldn't have sold that one!

DIW was the previous owner.

Oh I see was it broken up for spares

[andysv]

I guess it was broken up but not certain.

A picture of the incident appeared on this site along with a story however the post was deleted by mods.

[AtlantisWeb]

There are still pictures on the internet. Very sad viewing.
I remember that car. It was stunning!
