    1998 Lamborghini Diablo Roadster
    Fly Yellow with Black Leather

    1 owner from new with 12,550 original miles. 1 of less than 200 cars made. The car was purchased new by a older enthusiast and collector.

    Completely stock and untouched, even has the original airbag stickers and warranty windshield decals.

    Books, tools, records from 1998 till 2015, extra key and clicker in its original packaging.

    Over $50,000 in service receipts.

    I have owned many Diablo's over the years and this may not be as rare as our SE30 in our private collection, but it comes babied from the original owner and is a great example of one of the nicer Diablo Roadster examples I have seen! Everything imaginable was serviced and replaced by the local Lamborghini Dealer.

    More pics to come soon!

    Asking $239,950.00

    Seems to be well priced for such a perfect car. It should sell fast at that I would think.

    Great car. Best colour combo for all Diablos. Good luck with sale.

    Only exceeded by Pearl Yellow, but finding a good pearl yellow car in a roadster is so rare.

    This car actually seems underpriced based on miles, known service and ownership history. I know from my search (I purhased a 9k mile one owner '99 roadster in Pearl Yellow) how rare this combo of miles/1 owner/best production color is to find.

    Honestly, the dealer went above and beyond... the car did not need a some costly repairs.

    Best,

    Driving a Diablo roadster is just an amazing experience.....every nerve ending is on fire.....the perfect blend of old world feel and reasonably modern performance with 530 hp under your right foot and the click-clack of the gated shifter.

    And unlike the Countach (which didn't offer the top off experience) the ergonomics are also pretty good.

    Every serious collector should have a roadster....try to find a V12 mid engined Ferrari convertible for under $1M.

    The Ferraris of the same period are nice cars (I still think about getting a 355 and just might) but are really consigned to the "puttering around" classification next to modern sportscars, but the Diablo like this with a 3.8 0-60 time and 200+ top speed still holds its own.

    And worth every cent......The pre-Audi Lamborghinis aren't for everyone, special cars for special owners, and for that you get a special driving experience.

    That's giallo evros? I had a 6.0 in that color. Personally I like it better than the pearl yellow. Beautiful car!!

    FYI. Started with paint correction on the Diablo Roadster and we did find some paintwork! It definitely needed some attention.

    The lower rockers and front bumper have been painted. Both front fenders have a touchups that were then cleared over. Other than that, the car is coming out very nicely! I have attached a few photos of the condition of the paint. The paint is a 8-8.5/10.

    I've seen him at car shows, and I believe Fields Motorcars (Lamborghini Dealership) in Longwood had this car for sale last month

    Beautiful car!

    The first post states 12XXX miles but a pic further down shows 20XXX miles on the odometer?

    I was curious if this was the case.

    Thanks for clarification.

    Beautiful car!
