    Exactly... A valet isnt going to stop a drunken retard who decides to take a running start and run across a Murcielago... at Ceasars... not on Fremont street.... or people sitting on the cars until the valet comes over and asks them to get off.... But to each is own.. Simply relaying what Ive seen and experienced. Safest space is secured parking underground.

    All good points of course, and I know it can happen, I have seen it too. I am just one of those guys that enjoys seeing my cars parked out front and get that "special" treatment. Why hide it, after all, they are supermodels, right? ;)

    Chassis 12065 production August 1990 , warranty commenced in Singapore on the 30.10.90. From the records I can see it was Italian spec car

    It is Black on Black no rear spoiler.

    It had some "tuning done" at some stage with exhaust and lights , those are in the process of going back to standard, and also the wheels were changed to 18" OZ racing rims (I am sure quite expensive, and look quite nice, but I love the originals. I have located two front rims so far )

    I may be alone on this one but I don't actually really mind the Gauge Cluster Housing on the early Diablo.

    When you're driving at high speed you don't have to physically move your head to see how fast you're going.

    Maybe I'm just playing "Diablo's" advocate.

    I agree. Plus it gives the car more character ;)

    I agree. The high cluster is very driver friendly on the move.

    Had 2 Diablos,91 and 2001, my friend Max ( local guy) have 96 ( i think) its a VT/Non VT factory delivery, Yellow, dark tan int, 1 of 12 i was told, nice car, reg performance,my 91 was fun and brute,after i spendt a few hrs getting rid of oil leaks an really bad build quality, (My Countach is way better), the 2001 vt was an absolute amazing car, syncros vent bad and some wire harnes issues, located under the decorative engine cover,wich made the car missfire, that beeing said, one of the nicest driving and comfy cars i have owned, good fit and finish,also ,i think, the quicker car than the 91.
