After my wanted post during the previous 6 months, I finally have a Diablo sat in my garage biggrin

She's a pristine and original 1995 VT in midnight blue with just 20,000km on the clock.

Many thanks to Mike Pullen at Carrera Sport for sourcing her for me.













To say I'm smitten is an understatement!

If anyone has any info about the cars history / old photos etc, I'd be really grateful.
She's been on a few number plates:
M487HNL - from 1995 - 1996
M3DRR - from 1996 to early 2002
5PRY - from early to mid 2002
M449VBR - mid to late 2002
12WA - late 2002 to 2004
B11LVT from late 2004 until recently.

Here's to a summer full of sunny warm weather to enjoy driving her.

Congrats L33 !
looks really nice.

When mine gets back from its minor service, I'll try and find a dry day to get out and take some photos of mine.

Looking gorgeous. Unlike your old 360, you'll only get positive comments in this.

Very nice, why KM's on the clock if it's RHD?

It's just the way the Italians did it!

Diablo is dual display for the speed reading ok, but the odometer is always in KM.

Thanks - there have been quite a few to get to where I'm at now and it was well worth the wait to find such an immaculate example - just as I was beginning to loose hope.

Thanks for all the positive comments. Hopefully the Diablo will be a keeper for a few years.
