[djt77]

Posted this on the general forum earlier but guess it would have been best here!

the car on the link is a diablo with a buy now of £36,500, mentions it was a cat c vadalise damage! anyone here know of this car and what does vadalise damage consist of? guess it must be quite substantial to write it off?

... yet doesn't want to sell it 'easily' on autotrader for an extra £8500...

never seen this before, maybe alan is aware of it? it sure is cheap so long as it's mechanically sound with maintenance history. abs on a 93 car that's a first? abs was 98 on.

I guess if someone jumped on it then that might be bad enough to write off the car, especially given the fact that this occurred 2 years ago when the car may have been worth £50k. A yellow Diablo came up for sale a couple of years ago at cheap money and ISTR a figure of a smidge over £20k buying it, but I could be £10k out! - it needed a repaint though and had some dings....

thats where you are wrong andysv. I had a 1.6l fiesta ghia built in 95 which had abs fitted as an option.

But this thread's about a lambo not a fiesta

of mild interest. Lamborghini held off putting ABS on diablos a lot longer than many mainstream manufacturers following a fairly severe crash during testing. As i recall.....the driver turned into a corner, at speed with the ABS pulsing.... one wheel left the ground which then confused the system and it stopped braking and car hit wall. something along those lines anyway. They elft it till 98 when there weer several different and more advanced systems
