One of the supercars that helped define Lamborghini
is the Diablo. Made from 1990 up until 2001, in less than 3,000 examples, it
was the successor of the iconic Countach, and the model that paved the road for
the Murcielago, which was eventually replaced by the modern Aventador.
Out of the small production number, only a few units
were shipped to the United Kingdom, in the SV specification and right-hand
drive, including the one pictured here. Finished in Metallic Green over a black
leather and Alcantara interior, it's believed to be one of just 13 licensed
vehicles in the country, and this makes it even more desirable.
Silverstone Auctions, which have it up for grabs
during the Salon Prive Sale, on September 2, says that this Diablo SV is the
one "for the serious Lamborghini collector", before listing some of
its features, such as the power steering, 17-inch front and 18-inch rear
wheels, climate control, CD player, electric windows, central locking, and
sports exhaust system, among others.
The auction house adds that this Italian bull is
accompanied by an extensive service history, with all the books and tools being
present, and prior to the auction, it will be serviced "by marque
specialists".
Make sure you bring lots of cash with you, if you're
looking to place a bid, because this Lamborghini Diablo SV is believed to go
for £ 155,000-£ 175,000 (US$ 199,984-US$ 225,789).
