An early Diablo, mine is 1992, is a much more delicate thing.
From a different era.
I once spoke to a mechanic who was taking care of my Challenge car about Diablos as there was one parked up there. He said that particular car has never worked properly / always back in the shop in short order after leaving and a huge bill again. They look very cool, but that statement stayed with me and always worries me when I think about them as a car to drive regularly. I suspect on cars from that era it is a bit of a roll of the dice if your car is decent or a lot of trouble. My 355 also needed a lot of work to make it reliable and be able to daily drive it. Once I got it to that stage it was fine, but you always had that niggle in the back of your head that it might go wrong next time you take it out.
It's true, Italian factory in that era

There's no way of knowing whether you bought a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon car !

Anything in between is the sliding scale pot luck zone biggrin

Picked up the STO today (after PPF).

The colour is Grigio Acheso (a matt paint). This was the launch colour on the Ultimae.

A few photos below... and also a few photos of some of my other cars (Dubai and Ireland).


Lamborghini Huracan STO










Ferrari 458 Speciale



















Porsche 911 S/T














Ferrari 296 GTB (Abu Dhabi Silver... the only AD Silver in the UAE)




2016 Defender Heritage Edition (1 of 400)... starting to daily this a lot, albeit not great driving a tractor in Dubai traffic
