JayKays Viola SE30 was up for £80K back in 2001. Was sorely tempted, but I didn't move quick enough. Shame! I think SE30's have the potential to appreciate in the future - especially if you could find one of the "Jota kit" cars - 2 or 3 of those in the UK - no doubt Allan (Ruttboy) can confirm!!

from recent conversation on email with Alan i think there are 3...mine and 2 others. he can no doubt confirm anyway!

hmm...not convinced they'll appreciate. I havent tried to sell mine (have someone waiting for it avidly if I do part with her) but would be amazed I hadn't lost a shedload of cash.

Would definitely recommend gettnig an SV or SE - i actually think the weight difference is appreciable and noticeable over the VTs. but overall...I'd get the 6.0l! Oh, and clearly you must get a diablo

Cheers night!
Hmmm 6l seems more and more to look like the 'sensible' choice.

Cheapest I've seen so far is a french car for 80k..

Nightmare - you are correct your car has lost a shedload of cash - in fact I think it's worth the square root of F**K All !!

As it happens this might be your lucky day as I happen to know a chap who would take this off you hands at a very reasonable price (well certainly at least twice the square root of F**K ALL) - I act as his agent - please tell me when I can come and take the car off your hands thereby relieving you of this troublesome financial burden!!

Seriously though your car is an absolute stormer! I remeber seeing it once at Lamborghini when it was in Reading. (My then SV was in for some mods.)

Add me to the list of interested purchasers for when it's time to sell.

The noise of the diablo is utterly magnificant.

Automotive divinity.

Like Tony's latest Diablo, these 'Audified' versions are surely the last word in 'event motoring.'

I can't begin to explain how excited the Diablo makes me, it affects me on a primal level even more so than the wondrous Murcielago and I could spend many seemless hours walking around it's multiprotudinal magnificence, gulping in solid whoops of angle, slash & swoop, awestruck at the very being of such monumental, automotive nobility.

Absolutely no other car crowns the desire of an 8 year old so effectively and when this things hoves into view, I am immediately transported to a time and a place when Steve Austin was the man to be and Erin Gray the filly to canoudle.

On yer knees and worship: this is what we am and who we are, distilled essence of petrollic creed, 12 firing volleys of wedgular nirvana, it simply doesn't get any better.

Buy the SV, immediately, oh

Derestrictor - very well said, excellent post. Lamborghini's bring out the 8 year old in all of us!!

The diablo is an `event` in time and space.......everybody hates Ferrari drivers..(strange but true..?)

Well what choice do I have now.

Note to Alan at Lambo HW - not ignoring you mate - work mobile has been on the blink and only got your message this am. Will call you later today when I get a free mooment...
