Murcielago Insurance
Discussion
I'm an insurance broker and one of my clients is getting one of the above in the next week or two, and I'm having a complete nightmare trying to get anyone to quote on it. It's a left hooker so it's only worth about £115K apparently. Unfortunately my expertise only extends to TVR's.
Does anyone know of any specialists I can direct him to?

Sorry about Off topic!!!
Craig.... LHD Diablo? I hope you can help me with a few questions too - what's an LHD Diablo like to drive around - specifically with reference to it being LHD - what I mean is that can you actually use it.... Ferraris have got fairly good visibility and the controls are no problem either... but a Diablo is something else....
Have you had to take it through central London - what was it like - can you really get used it ever - would a later 6.0 VT be any easier?

LHD Diablo's are probably not the easiest LHD supercar to drive in the UK!
The main problem is the width which takes a while to get used to.
I have not driven it in London and wouldn't be keen on doing so - I'd like to preserve the clutch as much as possible!
I drive a RHD F355 around London - the visibility is leagues better than the Lambo.
Having said that I think LHD Diablos represent great value as long as you don't use them as a daily driver. The clutch action on early cars is also much better on LHD models.

Thanks for the info Craig.
LHD Diablo.... the thought is just plain scary. I recently got into a late VT roadster (its at Talacrest) and I reminded me of how intimidating Lambos are... I couldn't see anything - ANYTHING - where the front begins/ends, the rear, the width, NOTHING.... and it was an RHD. The Murci was about as intimidating too but was a complete doddle to drive around though..... LHD Ferraris by comparison are no real problem at all.
Are there any Murcie owners on this board yet?
