    i have never been a BIG fan of open top car...
    well, i have to say the diablo roadster made me completely change my mind!!

    driving the car with the top off and a good sport exhaust is intoxicating

    Hey Emilio,
    I see an orange Alfa ;) Is that montreal painted 'arancio miura'? Would you know if its the same shade as used on actual Miuras? I'm trying to settle a debate.

    Thanks!

    ciao Shaun

    yes, orange montreal
    i am not sure if the color is the same
    but i am 99% positive since it was a bertone car (both Gandini worcks) of the same era

    i will look into that

    hi §hamile

    i admit that when i bought this car i was not really looking for a diablo roadster...

    i was looking at De Tomaso cars
    and really almost bought a super nice low miles DT pantera GTS (special one off car ) but the papers with the car were a big issue....

    this car came up for sale on a forum at a good price and i purchased it without thinking a lot about it

    driving it had been such a GREAT surprise!

    without a doubt my fav. convertible lamborghini (ok...may be with the exception of the one off miura roadster ;) )

    a future classic (imo)

    this car is born wingless and was originally a factory car ( i have papers confirming that automobili lamborghini spa was the first owner)


    i love it wingless (looks even lower and wider like this imo) and it will remain wingless as long as i will keep it

    ps i have enough wings on my other lambo ;)

    Thanks!

    I was talking to a Glasurit paint rep the other day and while researching the orange for our Miura, we found there is no code. However, there's an orange with the same name listed as an Alfa Montreal color, AR601. They pulled a sample and its much more red, yet every orange Montreal I've seen is identical to the one you posted...and very similar to the Miura as well. Perhaps the Glasurit formula is wrong.

    Love your color DR, makes me miss my car bad :(. It is still in California looks like I will have to wait another 10 months before I can bring her into Canada. Man I hate stupid out of date import laws.

    tks and i like the titanium one :)

    if this would make you feel better, it tooks me 1 year to register it and around 2 to restore it

    so i had a very long wait!!! but worth it in the end
