Hi
For the last 2 years I have been looking at buying a Diablo sv would like 1997.5 to 1998 but never come up for sale a part from one that’s been for sale for a long time and seams way over priced. There are a few 1996 sv for sale and they have been for nearly 2 years, does anyone have any information on the ones for sale ?

I've also been looking.
The ones on market, at least, don't seem to really move.
Amari had a (96 iirc) yellow SV that went for around 105 earlier this year after he reduced it from 140, I went to see it. Records showed it had a weeping head gasket, and i didnt fancy the risk, but it did find a buyer within 2weeks.
There was a nice blue SV, 98, at furlonger for 140, id guess it went mid 130's, again earlier this year. This was for sale a long time at 160, but found a home relarively quickly when dropped to 140. Ph did an article on the actual car.
Both the amari and the furlonger car piqued my interest, both but sold. All others on market at the moment look toppy to me.
Id say the best candidate SV at the moment (that im aware of) for me is the alpine SV at topgear, but its a bit too firm for me c.f. the furlonger car i didnt get.
Basically i need to sh#t or get off the pot, but these cars can be ruinous done wrong, and the market looks very slow. I don't want to pay top dollar and it take me 12+months to sell when the time comes. I want to pay a reasonable market rate, by which I mean a price in which if i had to, I could sell the car in a reasonable time, say 3 months. Like the level amari and furlonger found.
All open market diablos in UK atm have been on market for a year or more AFAIK. Not very liquid.
Not many silly people like us looking!

I bought the SV from Amari and have put 1000 miles on it and it hasn't missed a beat. I will slowly start doing bits to it when time permits and once we are back to some normality it will get used, tracked and driven. She has been used to commute, go shopping with the kids and general getting about.
There aren't many SV's around so what's for sale is generally about it.

Yes I saw the yellow sv drop to 105 and called but was to slow, I also thought about the one at Furlonger but was put off by the insides of the car. The topgear one looks good but 20k to much and not to keen on having a yellow car unless its cheap and a really good car. I think the prices should fall at 20/40k on some of these Diablos and then they would sell.The ones on market, at least, don't seem to really move.

You beat me too it lol good price for a sv enjoy.There aren't many SV's around so what's for sale is generally about it.
346 SVs made all together, with 42 RHD, of which 9 are MY99 UK delivered cars - see separate thread I've just revived.
MY95 SV introduced
MY97 brought in bigger 18" wheels, first on the rear, then front as well.
MY98 brought in more power - 530BHP via VVT, and larger brakes (shared with early Murci's) with Kelsey Hayes ABS
MY99 brought in the fixed headlights and the wave dashboard, taken from Affolter's modified 1996 cars
A few of the UK cars were fitted with London Stainless (now known as Quicksilver) sports exhausts, by the importers.
A list of know cars is on LP112.com - let me know if you want a list of the RHD ones.
absolutely incredible car to drive - like a Countach - very direct, even with power steering (diablos had since 1993-4).
The noise level is high, and the ride isn't the softest, but the experience is really epic!
you feel every bit of the road, and the acceleration is still pretty quick as you get pushed along by the big V12 over your shoulder.
engines are fairly bulletproof if maintained, frames are prone to rust due to road salt, but quite a simple car really to work on with a few good forums for help on line - Lambopower/Lamborghini-talk.
some parts are crazy prices, but substitutes are available for some at reasonable prices.
They tend to hang around a while, as I suspect the rawness of them scares people.
Get one, you won't regret it one bit.... everyone should own a V12 at some point
