    Don't know much about that example. Are the original wheels available with the car?

    See there are 4 UK Diablo's on Autotrader . . Not sure if any will suit?

    No they aren't it also needs recommissioning as hasn't been used for 2 years.

    Engine out service
    Interior re-connolising
    Paint correction
    new discs/ pads

    If the price reflects the work that is required. You may be able to secure a set of wheels, depends if you want it original or not. The engine out is a bit of a unknown and could get expensive real quick.

    so looks like 5 owners, returning the K plate between each sale.
    MOT expired in 2018, and has 89k km (55k miles or so) (I think the early cars, are all km speedos).

    Its for sale on Pistonheads btw

    Does it need to be RHD? If not, check mobile.de and autoscout.it for Euro cars!

    I know of a very early RHD 2wd Diablo coming on the market soon. PM me if you want me to put you in touch.

    I am also looking for the early Diablo, but LHD. Might consider RHD, too - also with some work required. Thanks!

    Thanks, it is really a nice one! The color is a bit boring though :) Looks like I have missed the 100k Diablo market just last year, suddenly they are now all 30-50% more expensive now (following mobile.de prices for the last two years)

    Its the one on Harrys Garage and its hardly done any miles. The guy who owned it at the time of the video had paid £160k according to Harry so I doubt this car was anywhere near £100k 2 years ago. I thought about this car but went off the idea of an early Diablo as not sure I could live with the dash.

    yes I watched that video several times already! What a car! Reminds me of 1994 and the first ever Need For Speed game for MS-DOS I was playing - that one was also black! Still have those Pentium PCs at home.
    What I meant that higher mileage examples were at 100k last year. Now much more. I guess we want to see the time after corona....
