so what's the story with this one ? https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/lamborghini/diablo/1999/298043 99SV with 98 dashboard (built January 1999) fixed headlights matt paint, which I've never seen on a car of that era
It has early Diablo (pre-1996) rear light cluster and bumper - all wrong - all SV's have lights in the bumpers, not in between the rear tail lights.
No affiliation, looks like a stunning car with low mileage! Some small things should be sorted. For example the rear lights and rear grill surroundings should be repainted matt black. Also the gear knob looks aftermarket. But all in it looks like a well preserved car, have a look on the steering wheel, the leather looks still matt, so looks very unused. https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=262109358&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=14600&maxFirstRegistrationDate=2001&pageNumber=4&scopeId=C&sortOption.sortBy=searchNetGrossPrice&sortOption.sortOrder=ASCENDING&searchId=ccde2b28-9be0-df7e-8794-42c19e92fb3f
Melbourne Motor Show 1999. Does anyone know if the Diablo SV MY99 on the right is white or yellow? The lights are very bright, so difficult to recognize. Image Unavailable, Please Login
It's a gorgeous white car with naked carbon wing. Lived all its life in Sydney. I'll be jumping on it if it ever comes up for sale.
I've backed up my phone but I saw it at a shop about 2 years ago and took some pics. I'll check my HDD at home
Red one seen last weekend in Los Angeles. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The wing is really naked carbon? looks more like matt black. During this period Lamborghini just offered glossy carbon fiber. If you´re able to share more photos, don´t hesitate, this example is unknown to me. White MY99 SV are quite rare birds...
The wing is matte black. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is another photo of the this particular SV, shown on the Melbourne Motor Show 1999. Looks like it was original wingless. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Cause of scratches, stoneships, accidents et cetera many Diablo SV got repaints, especially in the front areas. One of the most difficult part is the front bumper. Many lacquerer don´t know, don´t want or just don´t have the right information to repaint this important part to original glory. The matt black areas of the bumper are often painted in body color or the angle is incorrect. Attached some examples, correct, body color painted and with wrong angle.

Here is another example of a wrong painted front bumper. On the side skirts, note the SE30/Roadster fins, which were added later on. This car is VLA12696, was auctioned in June 2014 in Greece and resides since than in London/UK. If i remember right, it was a bargain! Image Unavailable, Please Login
