Diablo SVR?

Cars for Clunkers candidate

 

Eh, those are just stickers.

 

That was the French Country's Team SVR in 1996. It was sold at Auction in Monterey at RM two years ago...it fetched with buyers premium close to $152K if I recall correctly...

It was however missing some items and not in as good a condistion as my SVR IMO...

And they are not stickers...they are painted on...I cant recall the name of the so called famous French Artist that did the work...

 

Philippe Charriol who makes watches and jewelry.

 

Actually at RM in 2007 it gaveled for 95K, it had some very serious issues in 2006 when I last saw it (gaveled at 110K - RM), no reverse gear, engine problems, but, it is a race car...

 

Nope.

This SVR was painted by Georges Wolinski and pilotted by Eric Graham and Hervé Poulain to third place overall for the 1996 Super Sport Trophy and second place overall in 1997.

Yes. it did have many many issues...unlike mine that is perfect, or as close to that as you can get for a race car...#24

But then again you know that, after all you spent almost a whole day looking it over at Steve's shop www.drivenexotics.com 2 years ago after Monterey...but I wont let you steal it from me.

To rare and nice a piece to even consider selling it at the $110K mark the other car went for..

 

The cars and race WHERE actually sponsered by the PC Jewler...but were called Super Sport Trophy Races...

Each car has a plaque in the drivers side rear window, notingh the car # out of 30 and bearing the name of PC Tropy Race

 

Ive got to admit, I do not like that paintwork, yes whatever and advertising etc but that paintjob actually is quite scary/freaky.

 

the BMW 'Art Cars' of the 80's were similar...great art but hard to see it on a race car.

Roy, I think it would be much harder to find a hat that matches this SVR?!
