Any Diablo owners in Scotland?

[Mattymouse33]

Just wondering if there are any owners north of the border? I am currently looking for a VT, not a 6.0 and was just wondering if there are any out there that you guys know of. I know of all if not most that are currently for sale however its the ones that are not for sale that i am interested in finding out about.

Long shot but thought nothing to lose

Thanks and your help is appreciated.

Hey Mat

If u get one another tunnel run may be in order. Tuscan is getting modified at the moment with a new exhaust so will be louder so may need to have a blast when i get it back. Did you get rid of the cobra?

I know of one VT owner who's certainly not afraid to travel (last time I saw her was in Chesterfield).

You after a local one to tyre kick, or a serious intent to buy?

Purple would sound like an SE30 or SV, over my intended budget. Less likely to be a 2WD/VT but I'm sure there is one around in Viola.

Hey Greig,

Absolutely except longer this time!! Glad to see the Tuscan is going well, what a car!! The Cobra went about 3 months ago, it was always intended as being the car before the Diablo. When i end up getting one I'm not sure, as you can imagine there are not too many around and specs etc vary a lot. Red, Yellow and Black are no-no's so i am limited, hence my search. My only contemplation at the moment is the Titanium VT for sale from Select Autos but waiting to hear back from them regards a few queries.

Thanks,

I would be interested in finding out what specs some owners have and if it suits, whether they have any intention of selling. I would plan on keeping the car until upgrading to a 6.0 a couple of years down the line which would be for life, its a serious intent to buy and I couldnt take it near the track, felt the same about the Cobra, just that wee bit too risky. I just want it to stare at it all day

Good luck with the hunt and I hope you get what you are looking for. Just had a wee look at that Titanium one which looks amazing. Just a wee bit jealous.

Surely Carlo at Top Gear would be the first port of call?

[renmure]

Mathew, I know you are after a "subtle(ish)" Diablo, but that's the one that would be in my Christmas stocking in an instant. Every time there is a pic of Wazza's car posted anywhere I end up trying to tell Wendy how sensible it could almost be to have one.

Yes absolutely and i saw him the other week however I do need to get out and see a few more. I know what Carlo has and what else is for sale and also that they have been for a while now so essentially no rush BUT obviously i dont want to miss a car.

Its trying to find out if there are some cars that in private collections etc. Just the other week, some guy in Wales stumbled across a Black VT unused for 4 years but still in a collection, just badly neglected.

The more i have looked at different colours and realised the limits of VT colours, the more i think the car will be Titanium or Blue unless I find something unusual which i doubt and then it wouldnt be original either. There just cant be many out there though. Anyone got a guess as to how many Titanium VT's are in the UK, one, two?

Jim, you'll never persuade me, its a VT or nothing With the Murcielago Roadster wheels of course.

Come on guys, lets find those VT's!!!!

I'll get in contact with Wazza anyway and see how he is enjoying the car. I heard Al See use to own one too.

I absolutely love the wheels on that Vette!

There was a red SV at the motorshow as well donno who owns it.


oh and first to ask geez a shot

[renmure]

A guy on the (cough) evo (cough) forum posted some pics of a VT Roadster in silver(ish).
Suppose that looks sort of subtle.. in a not very subtle sort of way.






and the one that lets it down slightly as I always think the interiors look a bit cheap

The one I was thinking of is orange.

The owner, Jan, is a PHer, as it happens :

I saw it the other week, very unusual in red and a very nice car.
