Rhd Diablo

[Funky]

I will soon be looking to purchase a diablo vt 6.0 and im wondering if anyone has any good european dealers/sellers websites to keep an eye on? Also im wondering from the limited amount made, how many of these would be rhd? Thanks for your help!

See this thread a couple of weeks ago:-

Thats a great link thanks, still looking for info on Rhd's if there even was any. All the vt 6.0's ive seen for sale so far are Lhd

[Jonny5]

383 6.0 Diablos in total, 42 SE versions.

Of those, about 30 RHD and 3 RHD se versions, in black, orange and red.

[Funky]

Only 30? Oh dear god, how ahrd will that be to source then Plus id say youd be paying extra for the rhd ones

[Jonny5]

In my experience (i'm trying to find one) it's bloody hard

You are looking at 90 --> 110k

[tony_996hasgone]

If there were circa 30 rhd ones, I wonder how many are left after write-offs have taken their toll???

yes I know you've got one, and in perfect spec too!!! Orange, RHD, CF Rear Wing

grrrrrrrr

[tony_996hasgone]

Actually, Anjum's old one was probably perfect spec ....black/black and 2WD!!!

Good point tony! It would probably be best for me locating one outside the uk as the price difference to ireland is so high with sterling. It will probably be even harder therefore as most rhd i would imagine would have gone to the uk.

[Jonny5]

I have access to a nice black rhd (albeit 4wd) would you swap your Orancio ?

weve been here before as you guys know, my recommendation would be have a quick chat with jason barker, he has a website. sold most of the uk's diablos and knows were they are still. good luck, hope you find what you want.

who got the 2 perfect 6.0 ones I saw in Lambo London (old days when they were at the back of the Land Rover garage)

yellow with yellow/black
orange with orange/black

one day one of those will be mine

Also how hard would it be to get a test drive in a 6.0? Im looking now as id hope to be purchasing next year, however i would love to get a drive in one to make sure i dont automatically hate it (extremly doubtful im sure ) However the problem with that is i would probably not be buying it for a year so wouldnt be purchasing a model id get a test drive in. I expect garages selling them wouldnt be too pleased with this!

Maybe a bit far away, but there is a RHD one for sell in Hong Kong at the moment

www.auto22.com/carDetail.asp?id_in=37317

Price ~ GBP 108k

[Jonny5]

Whilst that is a lovely example, it's bit pricey and import/vat/shipping would absolutely kill the price

[funky]

Wow that really is beautiful, you can see its in good shape! A bit far away though

Sorry to drag this up again but im wondering what are the percentages for each year made. Most seem to be 2001 models would i be right? So would it be 70% 2001 and 30% 2000? Thanks
