Diablo SV at Goodwood

[yearoneracing]

Hi does anyone know the SV being sold at Goodwood tomorrow? I am always suspicious of auction cars as I assume there is something hidden or it would be being sold through a specialist.

Love the car though...

I spoke to Bonhams about this SV and asked if there was any rust on the car,the answer they came back with is " its in showroom condition and would give it 9 out of ten!".But you can see in some of the pictures (if you zoom in) the rust coming through.Not a show room car,6 out of 10 at best,also the engine bay has worn air intake seals,and thats just what I can see.I was going to go but changed my mind, saved a 350 mile trip,not the best example out there but the best colour in my opinion.

Rust !! I thought these cars were aluminium and fiberglass ! Worn intake seals ? I doubt you'll find a Diablo without some wear on some parts , unless your'e looking for a concours example with no mileage in which case expect to nearer 150k I'd say .

Go to picture 15 and zoom in below the door hinge and sill.
Even at bottom estamate £65k with the buyers fees works out at £74k dont think its worht that money,best £50k plus fees £57800.00 but not for me.

Don't think the SV made reserve.Did not sell, so much for showroom condition!!!

Appears not , reserve not too far off though . The car should be making 70k maybe bit more because a desirable colour , but like you say , if it's got bodywork issues then that has a factor . Won't be surprised to see this up for £74k somewhere soon .

Aluminium still rusts you know! Look at all the old Murcies out there with rusty door/window frames!!!
