Very nice if you ask me.
Everyone seems to dislike the red leather, but I think the red on black just adds to the Devil image.

£87,000?
what do you think? wink

At first, I thought it was one of those Fiero replicas, but the more I look at the pics, the more interesting it looks.
And yes, the black and red looks menacing.smokin

The roadster is the only Diablo I dislike, never looks right - but even I have to admit that looks quite nice - maybe its the GT bits that save it, red/black works well

I think diablo roadster is nice, especially after you see the Murci Roadster with its canvass roof on......

Can’t see why people want to 'max power' such great cars.... there are so few examples about, they already have great road present?

To me I feel this can only devalue or limit who would wish to purchase such a car. I agree each to their own, but if you like the GT, then buy one. This is not to say the car doesn’t look great, but its not how it was intended to be……..

Fabulous looking car, better looking than a GT and as the seller says, all original parts are available, should you wish to change it back.

Not a fan of that, looks like a replica jobby. Apologies to the owner if he is on here!!

Still a crackin' car though, and I certainly wouldn't say no! smile

It reminds me of a 300ZX from the front. Not too keen on the lights.

Looks nice though, especially with the black/red.

For 87K and LHD? The parts may not even be genuine and judging by a light misalignment oon the front hood, I would question them. Not my taste but each to their own. 87K is a lot of dough for a LHD Roadster with changed panels.

that's because the lights are from a 300ZX!

Not for me I'm afraid.

The roadster has never been my favourite Diablo and this certainly does nothing to change that.

Just my 2p.

I'm with the 'don't like it' vote - although I do like Diablo Roadsters quite a lot. It's a pity there weren't any more than a few SV Roadsters built, apart from those made by nailing together bits of broken Diablos as 'allegedly' practised not a million miles from here!

Why people have to bling up/out/in/down a Lamborghini is beyond me especially when they are already as close to any massively stretched limits of restraint as they possibly could be.

Isn't that the point, surely, that Lamborghinis are born extreme, so why mess them about adding stuff that doesn't need or want to be there?

I think a Diablo budget would go a lot further here....

a nice cross between the SE30 and SV, the only thing that stops me from forking out the dosh is the color, red doesnt do it for me, not a Diablo color.
