As title states, Diablo wanted.

Ideally post '93 car with power steering and lighter clutch.

If your thinking of selling, please get in touch., No finance etc to arrange, cash waiting.

New forum - new hope huh ??

No one responded previously I assume, and quick surf does not bring up much I can see. Have you spoken to Top Gear Cars in Scotland and asked if a deal can be done - it has been for sale a while ?

I considered parting with mine earlier in the year, but the sun came out, I did a couple of Charity events in it and the problems (and bills) of the previous year have all been forgiven !

Sorry - but best of luck with your search.

Cheers Bud.
Yep - now there's a dedicated forum, no harm with another post.

I have spoken to Carlo and seen the car. Its pretty good, but for the £80k asking price, I'd rather have an SV.

Many thanks.
The very low mileage of Tony's SV puts it well out of my reach frown

Thanks - I saw that a few months ago. Finally found a phone number through google. Seller knows very little about the car. Also an early car so no power steering and a very heavy clutch. Then theres the interior colour...

It could be a long waiting game

I like that yellow one, almost thought about viewing before I bought mine, it's been for sale now for a couple of years, I like the interior color too.

You can have the light clutch conversion that Mike Pullen does. Mike installed it on mine and it's fantastic, much more pleasurable to drive, even in traffic lol.

Personally I prepare no PS too, really only becomes an issue when trying to park in certain places.

I haven't really regretted it, had 3 of them since the mid 90s, and working on them means I've seen my fair share to date, so when I sold it, I didn't really think much about it. I do miss the build quality compared to the Diablos though lol.

I will be selling mine next year. 92 car but SV engine, gearbox (and lighter clutch) and dash. No P/S but never missed that.
Well known car on here, replaced tons of parts over the years, have stack of invoices both from me and previous owner.
All that's remaining is to refresh the paint.

Have it up for 95.000EU (today that's 80500GBP) but could be negotiated for a fellow PH-er.
It's LHD though. Original Belgian car, then 11-12 years UK, now mine since about 6 years.

Only selling cause I'm moving to the US (misses is US citizen), so once the visa is approved, we're moving there and I can't import the car till 2017.

Have some spare parts too (front and rear wheel with tyres, extra rear tyre, service manuals, and even a working Breguet Diablo clock (the 10.000EU option back in the day), all of which are not included in asking price though.

It's Diablo Rosso (red) with crema (beige) interior.

Hi Simon,
I could be tempted if nothing has turned up by then.
I really wanted a RHD car but if still nothing on the horizon, I'd consider LHD.
Keep in touch.
