1991 Lamborghini Diablo

KEY FACTS

• This Lamborghini Diablo is a head-turning 1990s performance icon, presented in a striking Rosso over Crema colour scheme.
• Under the engine cover is a 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing 492bhp and 580Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
• While the HPI report indicates it was initially registered overseas, the seller notes that this vehicle was imported as a brand-new car in 1991 - so it is assumed that it may have been delivered on export plates. It remained at Portman Lamborghini until 1993 when it was first registered in the UK.
• The odometer shows 89,531 km (55,632 miles) from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Diablo is finished in the eye-catching colour combination of Rosso over a Crema leather-trimmed cabin with a black upper dashboard, steering wheel and carpets.
• It rides on the correct set of 17-inch split rim alloy wheels, with Michelin and Pirelli tyres.
• Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a quad-exit exhaust system, climate control, an analogue dashboard clock, electric windows, and an Alpine CD player head unit with a separate amplifier.
• Accompanying the car is the original Diablo leather folder, a duplicate stamped service booklet, the owner’s manual, two original Diablo brochures, the V5C, various maintenance invoices, the original early Diablo key still in its bag, and one additional key fob.

CONDITION

• Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
• Specific notes from the seller include: the car has been previously repainted in its original colour. Now there is a scuff on the underside of the front bumper and another on the upper passenger side of the front bumper.
• The most recent MOT test took place on 9 November 2024 at 89,467 km, resulting in a first-time pass with no advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The latest service was carried out in November 2024 at 89,400 kilometres by Valparola Ltd. The work consisted of a mini service, and repairs to the fan cooling system, and replacement of the water temperature sensors.
• Prior to this, the car was serviced in March 2023 at 89,270 kilometres by The Sports Car Centre, which included a service and a new clutch, and in February 2022 at 89,227 kilometres by The Sports Car Centre, which was a standard service.
